Glancing down your spinal chord see
number of white or diseased spots which
unless attended to promptly, Will affect
you seriously.
On the under side of the liver Is large

though it might result In an ulcer.
In the lower portion of the dnodenum
is something which looks like wrinkle,
operates as an obstruction and prevents
the food from passing from the stomach
into the intestines as it should.

which looks worn and thin, as You Will
sometimes observe thin spot in shingle
by holding it up to the light. This weak
ness in the diaphragm is what causes You
to breathe short when you exert yourself,

citizen, 81 had no idea Of my terrible
condition. Don't wink an eye until
can go out and get my life insured for the

ordered his brain to be put on ice, the
spots to be knocked off his spinal chord,
the green spots to be shaved off his liver,
the wrinkles to be ironed out of his duo

spot in his diaphragm, the gorge in his
spleen to be pumped out, and the knot Ill
his smaller intestines to be unraveled-
Since that was done the man has been
comparatively well again--Pioneer Press.
