BAFFLED!
One Of the Most Unaccountabie ana
Dangerous OF Recent Deceits
Discovered and Exposed.

There is some mysterious trouble that
is attacking nearly everyone in the land
with more or less violence. 1t seems to
steal into the body like a thief in the
night. Doctors cannot diagnose 1t.
Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms
1t is. indeed, a modern mystery. Like
those severe and vague maladles that
attack horses and PROSTATE nearly al
the animals in the land, this subtle
trouble seems to menace mankind.
Many of its victims have pains
about the chest and sides, ana
sometimes in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has bad taste,
especially in the morning. A strange
sticky slime collects about the teeth.
The appetite is poor. There isa teellng
like a heavy load upon the stomach;
sometimes faint all-gone sensation IS
felt at the pit of the stomach, whlch
food does not satisfy. The eyes grow
sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy
at one time and burn intensely at
Others. After while cough sets III.

Some have treated it for one complaint
lsome for another, but nearly all have
failed to reach the seat of the disorder.
Indeed, many physicians are afflicted
with il themselves. The experience OF
DR.. a. G. Richards. residing at No. Ass
fremont street, Boston, is thus de-
scribed by himself:
