BAFFLED
One of the Most Unaccountab1e and Dam
gerous of Recent Deceits Dis
covered 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 can not diagnose it. Scientists
are puzzled by its symptoms. 1t Is, In
deed, modern mystery. Like those Sc
we're and vague maladies that attack horses
and PROSTATE nearly all the animals in the
land, this subtle trouble seems to menace
mankind. Many of its victims have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy;
the mouth has bad taste, especially IN
the morning. A strange sticky slime col
lects about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like heavy load upon
the stomach; sometimes a faint aIl-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 while cough sets in, at
first dry, but after few months it is at
tended with grevish colored expectora-
ton. The afflicted one feels tired all the
while, and sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable,
and gloomy, and has evil forebodings.
There is giddiness, peculiar whirling
sensation in the head when rising up sud-
then, again, outfux intensely; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood grows
thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes
become tinged with yellow; the urine is
scantY and high-colored, depositing a sedi-
ment after standing. There is frequently
a splitting up of the food, sometimes with
a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweet
ish taste; this is often attended with pal
pitation of the heart. The vision becomes
impaired with spots before the eyes; there
is 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:
had all those peculiar and painful
symptoms which have found affecting so
many of my patients, and which had so
often baffled me. 1 knew all the common
ly established remedies would be unavail-
ing for l had tried them often in the past.
l therefore determined to strike out in a
new path. To my intense satisfaction l
found that l was improving. The dull,
stupid feeling departed and began to en-
joy life once more. My appetite returned
My sleep was refreshing. The color of my
face which bad been a sickly yellow grad
ually assumed the pink tinge of health. II
the course of three weeks l felt like new
man and know that it was wholly owing
to the wonderful efficiency of Warmers
Tippecanoe The Best, which was all the
medicine l took"
Doctors and scientists often exhaust
their skill and the patient dies. They try
everything that has been used by, or is
known to, the profession, and then fail.
Even if they save the life it 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 pure and palatable
preparation within reach, to neglect its
use is simply inexcusable.
