something of sensation was caused

one OF our best known citizens was about

DOCTOR"
Not common! On the contrary it is
one of the most common. The trouble
is, few people know they have it. 1t has
50 few marked symptoms until it's final
stages that person may have it for
years each year getting more and more

many ladies for their own peculiar all
ments, over which it has singular

The statement drawn out by the above
interview is amply confirmed by very
many of our most prominent citizens,
among them being Judge Regel. and
Col. James ). Goodrich. of the Times,
while Gen. Dwight II. Bruce and Rev.
Prof. w. z. Coddington,, d. D., give
the remedy their heartiest endorsement.
In this age of wonders, surprising things
are quite common but an experience so
unusual as that of Dir. Martins and &C.

cause comment and teach a lesson. 1t
shows the necessity of guarding the
slightest approach of physical disorder
and by the means which has been proven
the most reliable and efficient. 1t shows
the depth to which one can sink and yet
be rescued and it proves that few people
need suffer if these truths are observed.
