OvcrtaXing her body with lahoriOuS employ

the maladics from which She suffers. Grad
ually the bloom leaves her checks, her lips
grow aShy white, her ~viyacity departs, she
continually experiences a feeling of wcari-
ness and general languor, and altogether
presents aghoStly appearance. What does
she need: Should she take some stimulat-
ing drug, which will for the time make her

which not only will restore to health the dis

A patient has a dull, heavy feeling about
the head, with a dizzy, whirling sensation
when rising up suddenly, a bad taste in the
mouth, with foul breath, q feeling like a load
on the stomach after eating, with a faint,
all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach
that food will not satisfy, pains about the
side, back or shoulder, hands and feet some
times cold and clammy, alternating with hot
flushes, sour eructations from the stomach,
eyes tinged with yellow, blood thick and
s%tagnant, with costiyc bowels, and all at
tendant symptoms. One doctor examines
the case and calls it liver complaint, another
kidney disease, another dyspepsia, and still
another impurity of the blood Now the
fact is ali of these doctors are right and they
are all wrong, because such patients have
all of these diseases combined, and the
reason such diseases are not cured is because
the custom is to treat one of the diseases at
a time. While one is being cured the other
gets worse. We should treat the disease
with a remedy that will act upon all at the
same time. The SHAKER EXTRACT OF ROOTS
