One of the Most Unaccountable and Dan

| 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 maladieS that attack horses and pros
| trate nearly all the animals in the land,
| this subtle trouble seems TO menace man
kind 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. \ strange, sticky slime collects
about the teeth The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like a heavy load upon
the stomach; sometimes a 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 clammy
at one sine and burn intensely at others.
After q while a cough sets in, AT first dry
but after a few months Ii Is attended with a
greyish-cOlOred eXpectOrauOn. The af-

sleep does not seem to afford any rest
He becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy,
and has evil fOrbodings THERE'S a giddiness,
a peculiar WhirIing sensation in the head
when rising up suddenly. The bowels become
costive, and then, again. OuttiuX intensely {:
the skin is dry and hot at times the blood
grows thick and Stagnant; the whites of

times with a sour taste, and sometimes

with palpitatiOn OF the heart. The vision
becomes impaired, with spots before the

nearly One-third of our population have
this disorder in some of lis varied forms,
while medical men have almost wholly
mistaken its nature. Some have treated it
Tor one complaint, some for another, but
nearly all have failed to reach the seat of
the disorder. Indeed. many physicians are
afflicted with it themselves. The expert
ehce OF Dir. A. q. Richards, residing at No

Doctors and scientists often exhaust their |
skill and the patient dies They try every
thing that has been used. or is known to |
the profession, and then fail Even if they |

agony. When all this can be avoided by |
precaution and care, how insane a thing J

and palatable preparation within reach, to !
neglect its use is simply ineXcusabe
