BAFFLED.


One of the Most Unaccountable and DAN
Exposed.
There is some mysterious trouble that is at
lacking nearly everyone in the land with more
or less violence. It seems to steal into the body
like thief in the night. Doctors cannot
diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symp-
toms. 1t is, indeed, modern mystery. Like
those severe and vague naladies that attack
horses and prostrate nearly all the ANIMALS IN
the land, this subtle trouble seems to menace
mankind. Many of it's 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, sickly slime collects about the teeth.
The appetite is Door. There is feeling ike q
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 sunkeD, the hands and
feet feel clammy at one time and
burn intensely at Others. After a
while cough sets in, at first dry, but after
few months it is attended with greyish col
ored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired
all the while and sleep does not seem to af-
ford any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable,
and gloomy, and has evil forebodiugs. There
IS giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in
the Lead when rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive, and then, again, outf1ux in
tensely; the skin is dry and hot at times; the
the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high-colored, deposlting q sedi-
nent after standing. There is frequently q
splitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with sWeetish taste;
this is often attended with palpitation of
the heart. The vision becomes impaired, with
spots before the eyes; there is q feeling Of
prostration and great weakness. Most of these
symptoms are in turn present. It 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
nature. Some have treated it for one complaint;
some for another, but nearly all have failed to
yesch the seat of the disorder Indeed MANY
physicians are afflicted with it themselves. The
experience of DIR. A. G.. Richards, residing at
No. 1853 fremont Street, Boston, is thus de-
Scribed by himself:
81 had all those peculiar and painful symp-
toms which have found aft ictlng so many Of
my patients, and which had SO often baffied
me. knew all the commonly established RENE
dies would be unaVailing, for had tried them
often in the past. 1 therefore determined to
strike out IN q new path. To my intense salts
faction 1 found that was improving. The
dull, stupid feeling departed and began to en-
Joy life once more. My appetite returned. Ny
sleep was refreshing. The color of my face,
which had been sickly yellow, gradually as
sumed the pink tlDge Of health. In the course
of three weeks felt like a new man, and know
lEdl IL was WnOlly owing 10 the WONDERFUL ELL
cheney of Warmers Tippecanoe The Best, which
was all the medicine 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 pro-
fession, and then fail. Even if they save the
life 1t is often after great and prolonged agony.
Where all this can be avoided by precaution
and care, how insane thing it is to endure
such suffering! With pure and palatable
preparation within reach, to neglect its use is
simply inexcusable
