Searching Diligently.

II Is related of an ancient physician
hat he went about searching for ills
to which flesh is heir to test the pow
or of his, connections, having a single
remedy for each disease. The idea
a medicine is applicable TO one III has
long since been exploded by practical
demonstration. A preparation may
contain number of ingredients, each
adapted to purpose without interior
ing with the functions Of each other,
besides being partially efficient rs u
whole. Especially can'this be said of
natural medicines. AS an illustration
we can refer to the Seven Springs
Iron and Alum Mass, natures own
design, which is perhaps used more
successfully for larger scope Of COM
plants than any artificial preparation
known. It's composition IL OF such a
nature rs to permeate IA system, search
diligently for defections and eradicate
all traces Of disease, 1t assists diges-
ton, preventing and curing dy spepsia

earth, being both sure and direct -
Diseased urinary organs are readily
