"Haroun of Aleppo," said Sir Philip
DerYal, chad mastered every secret in ia

eject the enemy that has fastened on part.
His processes all included the refrigeration
of the principle OF life. -a
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice Of the best physicians Of to-day.
What life itself is. nobody knew then--no.
body knows now. But We have learned
something of the reasons why the MYSTERIOUS
tide rises and falls. Provided the great
organs of the body are not irreparabIy de-
stroyed, medical science can always relieve,
and often save. Yet no reputable physician

processes Of depletion, such IS bleeding, by
which it was attempted TO cure disease by
reducing the patients ability to resist it,
Nowadays we do not tear down the fort to
help the garrison-We strengthen it.

is conceded that PARkER'S TONIC leads all
