Our C0untry's Danger.

stamps the importance OF its character.

other diseases Not till an epidemic visits

do We become enough alarmed to take prop

disease is far worse than an epidemic in
this that it is as insidious AS il is fatal often
attacking one without the slightest promo

may be thus suddenly attacked, as eviden
ced by the daily reports Singular it is, but
no particular section Of country or climate
seems to offer an escape. The time has
come to bring this disease prominently and
torcibly before the people, and if possible
avert the destruction of life caused by its
fatality And why has this not been done
before We believe il IS because the PEG.
pie AS whole are living under the old ban
of prejudice which for years has existed
against the innovation of any new theory
or remedy for the conquering OF disease,
and which is fostered and kept alive by
certain class of medical men who lay more
stress On the origin than the intrinsic merit
of the socalled innovation. Therefore, to
overcome this false prejudice is no easy
matter, and to this chiefly do we attribute
the delay, But here is disease commit
ting most deadly ravages all over this broad
land, and no physician to our knowledge
has offered way of escape, and We feel
that there is no more time to lose; and
now, instead of letting bigotry and preju-
dice govern us in this most serious matter,
let us be guided by our better judgment
and up and be doing, and if there be rem
edy that will protect US, what care we OF
its origin if it accomplishes the desired re-
suit. 1t is simply waste OF time to argue
this point, Few people know what causes
heart disease of dangerous character, and
how liable they are TO its subtle and dead
ly grasp; and yet many of the common
symptoms to which we are daily subjected
are but the precursors of this disease. For
when the stomach or kidneys are affected
and digestion impaired, they pOrtend evil
therefore 1t is dangerous to wait To know
that the dizzy sensations of the head, a feel
ing of lassitude, a state OF melancholy,
varying appetite, difficulty of breathing,
unrefreshing sleep, a loss of usual yigor
and strength, are among the prominent
symptoms, we say to know this only shows
how greatly we are subjected to this ter
rible malady. To know what to do is, then,
the all important question, and had we not
the knowledge of what will help us We
would, we assure every reader OF this arti
Gle, remain reticcnt upon this subject. But
We know of remedy We cannot speak in
strong enough terms in advocating its use
for this difficulty. To be brief it is Won
Tagan's Aiaxine, a German pharmaceutical
preparation, and if the people will use it

toms will, to very great extent be over

sources, but which is undoubtedly caused
more by this functional disorder than by
any other. If we would enjoy good health
We say csndidly nothing has ever been dis
