There is no country in the world that, can produce
greater array Of pretty faces than ours and it is also
true that there is no country where there few
fnely developed forms among the female Eek rs ir
ours. Why is that! Why is it that the ingenuity o.
the miliner and dress maker is taxed TO the utmost tc
give The appearance of reality! Why is it that forms
once full, round and plump, have become shrunken

for opinion, bul for treatment, if, inyour Judgment

Most certainly does the case demand treatment, and
for two viz: that diseased action may lie
novel, and that the roundity of form may be resor
ed. The latter is accomplished by the removal Of the
former which is not only the in the above case
but in all others of like character The idea that
thin, spare habit is natural TO some entirely errOne
Gus; for in every instance it is The result Of disease
either hereditary or produced by natural causes. As
been almost totally disregarded; and one Of greater
importance can scarce be mentioned important not
only from the fact that vital organs diseased, and
also because Of that disease beauty Of form and come.
illness are sacrificed.
Let us now look into The cause of this trouble.
What is it! Why this shrunken, lean and bony con-
diton It is faulty nutrition; the body is imper-
feclly nonrshed, from the fuct that good, rich and
healthy blood is not present, and through which alone
can the body be we'll nouriset and duly developed.

for certainly, in many cases there is no lack OF appe-
lite, or Of gond, substantial and wholesome ,nd and
plenty oft, which makes good blood. The reason is
simple-for although there Is waning Of appetite,
Of gond food, and in abundance yet the lnud is not
taken up and carried into The circulation. or at any
rate, but small portion ofit-and why! Because of
the congestire state Of the digestive organs. That is
the trouhle-he system is in that precise stale
that it would be were il in halfsarved condition.
And now, how is il that congesed state Of the di.
gesiive organs prevents the food from being carried
into the circulation and converted into good blood.
Those who have read my advertisement of last week
fully acquainted, think with the way that The
food is carried into the circulation in the form Of
chile, and conrer'ed into blood, and it now only re.
mains for 10 give the reason uhy it is not, in tile
condition under consideration, carried there and COLI
verted into good blood. The mucns membrane which
lines the stomach continues Oh into the bowels and
lines them also it is one continuous membrane.
have already described how in the upper bowels,
little Orifices, which mouths Of little vessels or
tubes whose office is to absorb or take up the food
after it is formed into chile and pass il along into
large vein, and on lhroug Ii this vein is the chile car
rrd to the lungs, and there, by It's coming in contact
with the atmosphere, is converted into blood, aud
ready for purposes Of nutrition nourishng the
body. From the lungs. il is tnow being made into
good blood) brought back To The heart again through
large veins and from the hear, sent throughout the
entire system through the artifices.
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 it can be easily that when the diges
live organs in congestct and inlame condition,
that there is more or less OF a swollen stale of that
mucuS membrane, and in consequence of the swollen
stale of the membrane, The m uth of these vesse.,5
from their being very minute, would be entirely
closed up, which would Of course prevent the taking
up of the chile and Of its being carried IN into the
circulation, anu in consequence lis not being taken
up by these vessels it is passed through The bowels
and exprlled and without the system receiving any
benefit Of its nourishing properties.
Ii 3 plain, then, from le foregoing that our RENE
dial measures must he directed 10 the digestive organs,
for by the congestion of these that this Srunken.
aiiennatrd and bony condition is brought about.
What shall be onr remedies! Thuse that will remove
the congesled state and restore lleTl 10 healthy con-
