Geneva Times.

The long sickness and intense suffer-
ing of Mr.. Williams has been the cause
of much talk and wonder for miles
around Harperstield. The reason for
all this is because his disease, being one
that great many people are troubled with,
had assumed terrible form, and showed
plainly what neglect in getting the
right kind of treatment on the start
might lead to. AS we are deeply inter-
ested in this subject, we take it for
granted that many of our readers are;
therefore we give brief history of Mr..
Williams disease:
Eight years ago he was strong,
healthy man, weighing 200 pounds; but
soon after his health began failing him,
and finally became so bad that his
friends advised him to be treated by a
prominent physician of Cleveland He
did so, but was finally given up, the
physician telling him that his was the
worst case of stomach, kidney and
heart affection he had ever seen, and
that he was liable to drop dead at any
moment. He was soon after examined
at the Cleveland Medical College, and
they pronounced his case as an incura-
BILE one of The liver, kidneys and heart.
They came 10 the conclusion after hav-
ing tried nearly all the remedies gener-
ally used by the best physicians for the
treatment of such cases. namely,
aconite, veratrum, digitalis. colchicum,
malt extract and tincture of iron, but
they completely failed.
His condition at this time was terri
BILE. His heart would frequently pull
suate 12S times a minute, and SO vio-
lently as to be frightening. He could
scarcely retain anything on his stom-
ach; sleep short and unrefreshing; an
almost constant burning and itching of
the skin all over the body. particularly
nights, no appetite; extremely nervous
and excitable. ''Dt ath was constantly
staring me in the face" said he, land
my family were nearly worn out with
fear and care. / had been in this sad
state for eight years, seemingly no
chance for getting well; hope all gone"

| Our readers will recall TO mind no
doubt that the remedy Mr.. Williams is
using is the one the press all over the
country is earnestly calling to the at
tention of the people, and urging its
immediate use, not only as great pre-
CENTRE of sickness, but to use for all
liver, kidney. stomach and earttroubles,
also for constipation and sick headache.

agent for this remedy.
