DIABETES

Is disease of the stomach and iver acting through
the kidneys, and is without doubt, the most obsti-
nate disease except Consumption, that affects the
human constitution We have no space for discus
sing causes but will state that the effect of the dis
case is the conversion Of the starchy principle Tor
vegetable portion Of the food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to excessive secretion of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
are ignorant Of it, that is they pass large quantities
during the day. and are obliged TO got up from one to
fifteen or twenty times during the night. No notice
is taken of it until their attention is called TO the
large discharge of water and often when it is so far
advanced as TO be beyond the control of ordinary
remedies. Another symptom is the great thirst
which, when the disease is fully established. is in
tOlerable-e patient drinks constantly 1cit9out be-
ing satisfied; also dryness of the mouth cracking of
the lips sweet breath, in the more advances cases.
and finally loss of appetite emaciati0n, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION w ATER is, without doubt, the only
known remedy for diabetes, and we have as much
confidence that il is specific as have that opium

cured every case in which it has been used.

Water cannot be classed under 'quack" prepara-
tions as it is now used by the most scientific prac
titioners in the city, II is only secondcass physi
clans that cry down popular remedies, while the bet
ter skilled make use Of every means to accomplish
a cure; and the success Of the physician increases
as his knowledge of different remedies enables him
to produce cure, while others fail in the attempt
Science is satisfied with the truth.
Give Constitution Water fair trial-we mean you
who are under some SPECIALISTS care from year to

constantly resorting TO LOCAL TREATMENT, and all
sorts of local applications for diseases with much
chance of success as there would be from local ap-

We have always been careful to use language in

from persons for whom Constitution Water is adapt

the disease may be, it should be made known. The
medicine is put up for the public and there should
