There is some mysterious trouble that is
attacking nearly everyone in the and with
more or less violence. It seems to steal
into the body like a thief in the night.
Doctors a not diagnose it. Scientists
are puzzled by its symptoms. 1t is, in
deed, a modern mystery. Like those Sc
we're and vague maladies that attack horses
and prostrate nearly all the animals in the
land, this subtle trouble seems to menace
mankind. Many of it's victims have pains
In the back. They feel dull and sleepy;
the mouth a a bad taste, especially in
the morning: A strange sticky slime coll
lects about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy load upon
the stomach; sometimes q faint all-gone
sensation is felt at the pit of the stomach,
which food does not satisfy. The eyes
grow sunken, the hands and feet feel
clammy at one time and burn intensely at
others. After a while a cough sets in, at
hrst dry, but after a few months it is at
tended with q greyish colored expectora-
ton. The afflicted one feels tired all the
while, aud sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable,
and gloomy, n has evil forebodings.
There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling
sensation in the head when rising up sud-
denly. The bowels become c~ostive, and
then, again, outfux intensely; the skin is

impaired with spots before the eyes; there
is a feeling of prostration and great weak
ness. Most of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that nearly one
third of our population have this disorder
in some of its varied forms, while medical
men have almost wholly mistaken its nat
ure. Some have treated it for one COM
plant; some for another, but nearly all
have failed to reach the seat of the disor-
der: Indeed, many physicians are afflicted
with it themselves. The experience of DR..
A. g. Richards, residing at No. 46S fremont
street, Boston, is thus described by himself:

I therefore determined to strike out in a
new path. To my intense satisfaction I

Doctors and scientists often exhaust
their skill n the patient dies. They try
everything that has been used by, or is
known to, the profession, and then fail.
Even if they W. the life 1t is often after
great and prolonged agony. Where all
this can be avoided by %precaution and
care, how insane a thing it is to endure
such suffering! With a pure and palatable
preparation within reach, to neglect its
use is simply inexcusable.
