spring is trying season. Indications
OF sickness should at once be at.
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused
by allowing the bowels to become consti.
pated and the system to remain in disOr.
deTed condition, until the disorder has
time to develop itself. An ounce OF pre-.
ventiOn is worth pound OF cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
all who IRE troubled with the complaints
now very prevalent headache, Indigestion,
diSordered liver, want OF appetite, nausea,
or fevCrish skin, TO take, without delay,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. 1t at once strikes at the root OF
the disease and prOducesa healthy tone to
the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from disordered con.
dition Of the liver il they would take this
excellentmedicine when they feel the first
indications of the malady. Families leav.
ing home for the summer months should
take three or four boxes Of these pills with
them. They have an almost stantaneous
effect, They will relieve the patient Of
headache in one or two hours, and will
rapidly cleanse the liver Of surrounding
bile, and will etieetually prevent bilious
attack. They are sold by all druggists.

side; the patient is rarely aNe to lie
on the left side; sometimes tie pain

taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach IS affected with loss Of

full sensation Of having left undonc
somcthingwhich ought to have been
done. Aslight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits arc low; and although he is
satisfied that exerCiscwould be benc-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
cdy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few OF them OK

after death, has shown the LIVER 10

not only to have been to strike down all
who have not been practicing medicine
Tor five years, and have not received a
regular diploma from some duly char
tered medical institution, but also to
arrest the career of itinerant vendors of
patent medicines. Due protection
should be given to the public against
incompetent practitioners, but the
opinion is that the bill is rather too
sweeping in its prohibitions. There is a
wide difference Of opinion among per
sons OF every community, in regard to
the virtue and efficacy of what are
called patent medicines Judging from
the quantities sold of some of them we
should think that great many people
have strong faith in their restorative and
curative powers if they had not, they
would not patronize them as extensive.
