THEY MADE A MISTAKE"
MISTAKES AND WRONG PREsCRIP-
TONS

The number of people in the worl 1
who are basing their entire action anc
shaping their whole lives upon mistaken
ideas, is Amos; innumerabie. A wrong
theory will destroy the best maturcd aud
most carefully conducted scheme, ana il
VIII also rum the most earnest ana SIN
cere life The world is full of misanth-
ropic people who have become emultter-
ed as the resul: of mistaken ideas. They
| crowded life with certain theories, they
| base their entire action upon them and
| discovered too late that they were wrong
| All OF which proves the absolute impor>
lance Of shaping life upon proper
| basis.
But the principle can be carried 10 all
| the details of life For years the entire
world believed in the theory that rhen-
| malism was slight muscular disorder
which could he removed Dy Il liberal rub
Ding with liniments Starting upon this
mistaken idea thousapdsot unhappy sui
ferers have endured intense agony When
they might have been relieved aud per
maucntiy cured because they have used
the wrong prescription. rheumatism is
blood disease, aud there is only one
way in " hirh il can be stlcrc~ ,iully treats
cd. That is by going directly to the seat
of the diseasc-which is the blood. a
very striking illustration of the truth of
this theory is found in the following
statement:
To the Editor Sir:
MCoNsTANTIA,N Y, August 90. 1885.
Two years ago this next October my baly
was born, and while convalescing was
taken suddenly with what my physician
nj chill 1i,.I ~ hn
most terrific pain in the head dcprving
me of sleep aud rest and driving me al
most crazy.
A short time after this | was attacked
with IL severe nose bleed, which relieved
the pain in my head. The fever with
which | was burning up continued, how
ever. and rheumatism developed in my
hip, knees and feet, the latter soon swel>
ling so badly that they would pit ON
pressure, the pain IN my joints being
simply uncomfortable, aud necessltating
the use of large doses of unodyncs. In
this condition, tortured with pain, obs
liged to lie on my back, and growing
weaker and weaker finding no relief
from linimtnts, lotions, plasters and
other external applications to complieate
matters an absccss formed on my hir,
which broke, discharging large quantities
of matter. | could not move hand or
foot. My legs were being gradually
drawn out of shape. had no rest, and
got so that nothing could be retained on
my stomach, lot even tcaspoonful of
water. My body was apparently blood>
less was reduced to a skeleton. and
had to be lifted very carefully from side
to side of the bed in order that it might
be stirred up II little, and was so weak and
famshed that | had some kind of fit or
convusion every time | was taken up.
The doctor said he could do nothing
more for mc-that ! would not live n
week. and at this time, though | knew
nothing of it myself, all my people and
the neighbors were expecting my death
at any time.
My sister who was taking care of me,
persuaded me to take some of Warmers |
cafe cure. She gave it to me in teaspoon
full doses, which quieted my stomach,
and which | followed up until abou one
half of the bottle had been taken. My |
sister then sent and got Il bottle of Wars |
ner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, believing that |
to be the special remedy my case rcquir>
ed. The first dose took cased the pam,
and that night had the first nights sleep |
since / was taken sick.
| entirely recovered of rheumatism, alb
3cess and all troubles, and now, thank |
heaven, it is an easy task for me to walk |
from my house TO the village and back |
| distance of four miles, without fatigue
Dr soreness. | have taken in all some
line or ten bottles of Warmers Safe
Rheumatic Cure, and no other medicine.
My cure is regarded by myself and all
ny ncighbors among whom it has ex
,ited great deal of attention-as moth
ng short of a miracle
