The Jews regarded 1t as divine infection
and believed there was no cure for 1T; II
was then the sins ofa youth or dtviat1oD
from the paths Of virtue were punished az
long as life lasted. Happily In our day
the sience Of medicine has been developed
the great stOrehouse Of Nat ure furnishes
remedy. the disease Is stripped OF Its ter
ror by the nse of theSAMARITAN'SR ROOT
AND HERB JUICES, and the victim Of
Scrofula, Ulcers, Sores, Pimples, B!otches,

In o few weeks That there are thousands
now whose conditions are as bad as those
OF the dark ages we are well aware: Many
now fail to find cure as well as they did
then, To all such the Samar1tan's Root

when person becomes SO fat that he can
not get in, he is regarded as an outlaw.
Had this system been adopted in the

have made more active demand for AL

who had lived In constant fear of sudden
