THEY MADE A MISTAKE.
How to Ensure Protection Against Mis-
takes and Wrong Prescriptions.

The number of people in this world
who are basing their entire action and
shaping their whole lives upon mistaken
Ideas, is almost innumerable. A wrong
theory will destroy the best-matured and
most carefully-oonducted scheme, and 1t
will also ruin the most earnest and sim
cere life. The world is full of nissan
thropic people who have become en-
uttered as the result of mistaken ideas.
They crowded life with certain theories,
they based their entire action upon them
and discovered too late that they were
wrong. All of which proves the aDsc-
lutte importance of shaping life upon
proper basis.
But the principle can be carried to all
the details of life. For years the entire
world believed in the theory that rheu-
matism was a slight muscular disorder
which could be removed by liberal
rubbing with liniments. Starting upon
this mistaken idea thousands of un-
happy sufferers have endured intense
agony when they might have been re-
lieved and permanently cured because
they have used the wrong prescription.
rheumatism is blood disease, and
there is only one way In which 1t can
be successfully treated. That is by GO
ing directly to the seat of the disease
which is the blood. A very striking il
lustration of the truth of this theory is
found in the following statement:
To the Edltor-SrR;
CoNsTANTIA, n. Y, August 20, 1885.
Two years ago this next October my
baby was born, and while convalesoing
| was taken suddenly with what my
physician said was chill fever, accom-
panied by the most terrific pain in the
head, depriving me Of sleep and rest
and driving me almost crazy.
A short time after this was attacked
with severe nose-bleed, which re-
lieved the. pain in my head. The fever
with which | was burning up continued.
however, and rheumatism developed in
my hip, knees and feet, the latter soon
swelling so badly that they would put
on pressure, the pain in my joints being
simply uncomfortable, and necessitating
the use OF large doses Of anodynes. In
| this condition, tortured with pain, OBJ
liged to lie on my back, and growing
weaker and weaker, finding no relief
from liniments, lotions, plasters and
| other external applications, to compli-
| cate matters an abscess formed on my

ually drawn out Of shape. had no rest,
and got so that nothing could be re-
| tanned on my stomach, not even n tea
spoonful of water. My body was APP
| parently bloodless. l was reduced to a
skeleton, and had to be lifted very care
fully from side to side of the bed, in
order that 1t might be stirred up lit

that | had some kind of fit or con-
vulsion every time | was taken up. The
| doctor said he could do nothing more
for me-that | could not live week,
and at this time, though knew nothing
OF 1t 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
Safe Cure. She gave it to me IN tea
spoonful doses, which quleted my stom-
ach. and which followed up until about
one-half of the bottle had been taken
My sister then sent and got a bottle Of
Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure, believ.
ing that to be the special remedy my
case required. The first dose ! took
eased my pain, and that night had the
first nights sleep since | was taken sick

heaven, 1t is an easy task for mi
to walk from my home to the vii
lage and back, distance Of foul
miles, without fatigue. or soreness.
