TO THE LADIES,

n b EO ElN lNu recently Il lcltei lrOm II young
4 q lady in Alabama. shal! take the liberty of
publishing portion of it, and shall also take Oc
cas;oa to make the >;hjrc. of thnt.ictcr me
by way of a ''tcxt' Tor my advertisement of this
week: ana in ding so it will, know he duly
regarded and appreciated by the ladies, especially
the yoam:s iad:rs, who make personal appearance
and attraction study. There is no country in
the world that Gun produce Il greater array of
pretty faces than ours and il is also true that
there is no cLuGtry where there are so few finely
developed forms among the female sex as in ours
Why is this: Why is il that The Ingenuity of tho
mi:er ailL dress maker is taxed to the utmost to
give t!c a}wc0ro"rr Of reality? Why is it that
forms once full, round and plump. have become
shrunkcn, thin and bony? But to the letter:
DEAR SIR Were it not from conviction Of
your hoSpitablc feelings towards good number
Of patients who annoy you with the narration OF
frivolous and lamcie! ailments, should never be
cmholdencd to undertake so awkward task rs
the consulting you in relation to TyScif: and if.
after stating my condition. which ! conceive to
be the result Of some disease-what, / know not
-you should regard it MS purely Of the nmagi-
nation, rather than actual disease, statement to
that effect from you would; am confident, prove
as remedial to the fancy, as would your remedies,
did actual disease exist.
IL have always enjoyed the best Of health, and
up to the present time hardly have known what
pain or suffering was. ! do not now remember
ever to have had spell of sickness, or being in
any way indisposed, with the exception, perhaps,
of an occasional and but very slight hcadachc.-
My appetite is good-perhaps too good. digest
my food without difficulty can walk without IA
tgue. lslcrp well, ard can say, ns have already
said, that apparently enjoy the best of health.
Yet. notwithstanding the mass of testimony in
favor Of my being entirely exempt from disease,
there is condition Of system that am unable to
account for | allule to the fact that for the last
1S or - mouths have entirely lost the rctuadity
of form which has always been natural to me up
to the time referred to. 1t is now near two years
since first discovered that was gradually losing
flesh, and at the present time, my arms, neck,
and in fact the whole person, which was once full,
round and firm, arc now very much shrunkcn,
attcnuated ana bony. Believing that such a con
dition of body coull not take place at aay rate
continue 70 exist for so long period, without
having for its cause diseased action somewhere, |
applied for medical advice, but without gaining
either satisfaction or any bcntfit | was told by
one physician that would regain ny flesh after
while-by another that would recruit as soon
as cold weather came, and by another that rs
soon as warm weather came would be rs feshy
as ever. And now, sir, apply to you, not only
for an opinion, but for treatment if, in your udg-
ment; the case demands it," &c., &c.
Most certainly does the case demand treatment,
and for two reasons, viz: that diseased action may
he removed anil that the rotundity Of form may
be restored. The latter is accomplished by the
removal Of the former which is not only the cause
in the above casc, bus IN all others of like char
acter The idea that 4 thin, spare habit is nr7"-
raj to some, is, ent:ely erroneous; for in every
instance it is the result Of disease, either hcrel'
tary or produced by natural causes. Asa matter
for consideration by physicians, this one has been
almost totally d:srcgarded; and one Of greater
importance Can scarce he mentioned; important
not only from the fact that vital organs arc dis
cased, and also because Of that disease beauty Of
form ar.l ccmcliness are sacrificed
Let rs now look into the cause Of this trouble?
What is it? Why this shrunkcn, lean AMI bony
condition? 1t is faulty nuriton the body is
nourishcd from the fact that so2d,
rich and healthy blood is not present, and through
which alone can Tie hody be wei! nnurishrtl and
duly developed. Why is not good, rich AID heal
thy blood present FOR certainly, in many cases,
there is no lack Of appetite, or oi good, substan-
tal, and wholesome food, and II plenty Of it,
which makes coed blood. The reason is simple
for although there is 10 wanting Of appetite, or
of good food, and in abundance, yet the food is
ut any rate but small portion Of it-and why
Because Of the cGnGeS!"9 state Of H. digcsir@ or
gams This is the ,rorte-thc system is in that
precise same state it would he were it in half
starved condition. And nOw, how is it that q
congcSted state Of Tie digestive organs prevents
the food from being carried into tho circulation
and converted into good blood. These who have
read my advertisement of last week are fully ac-
guainca. think, with the way that the fuod Is
carried into the circulation in the form of chile,
and converted into blood, ard it now only remains
for nc 10 give Tie reason rhy it is not. in the
condition under consideration, carried there and
converted into good blood. The mucus membrane
which lines the stomach continues on into the
bowels and lines them also; it is one continuous
membrane. | have already described how, i'll
the upper bowels, their sides arc pierced with an
iuuumcrable number of little orifces, which arc
mouths Of little vessels Or tubes, whose Office it is
IL absorb or take up the food after it is formed
INTO chile and pass it along into large vein. and
on through this vein is the chile carried to the
heart, frorl whence it is propelled to the lungs,
and there, 10y lis coming in contact with the at
mosphcrc, is converted into blood, and now ready
for purposes Of nutrition or nourishing the body.
Fl'sm the lungs, it is (n0w being made into coed
blood) brought back to the heart again through
large veins and from the heart sent throughout
the entire system through the arteries.
Now the mucus membrane which lines the
stomach and the bowels also dips into these little
mouths Of the vessels above spoken of, and also
lines them. And ] think now it can be easily
seen that when the digestive organs are in con-
gested and inilauled condition. that there is more
or less Of swollen state Of that mucus membrane,
and in consequence IF the swollen state Of the
membrane mouth Of these vessels, from their
being so very minute, would be entirely closed IN,
which would Of course prevent the taking up of
the chile and Of its being carried On into the cir
culation, and III consequence Of its not berg ia
ken up by these vessels it is passed on through
the bowels and expelled, and without the system
receiving any bcGcGt Of its nourshing properties.
1t is plain, thea, from the foregoing, that our
remedial measures mast be directed to the dgeS
tive organs, for it is by the congestion Of these
organs that this sh.nnker, attenuatad and bony
condition is brought about. What shall be our
remedies? Those that will remove the congestcd
state and restore them to 4 healthy condition. In
advance of all other remedial means is the using
Of BLISS DYSPEpTlC REMEDY, and the fol-
lowing out of all the directions accompanying it,
and BY so doing and pcrScvering in the taking of
the remedy, not only every restige Uf the disease
will be removed, hut gradual and steady mpro-
wing in flesh and rctundly of form will be the re-
suit.
1t is the experience Of every one and it has Of
ten been made the subject Of remark by those who
have taken the Remedy fer sometime, that it
makes them to gain in flesh; and if have been
understood above, it will now be seen it does it,
viz: by removing the congcstcd state of the dges-
tive organs, which prevents the manufacture Of
good, healthy blood, and consequently proper
n0urishment Of the body. W. W. BLISS,
