SCIATICA.

@iSefy.-It is instructive to note from the
catalogue Of diseases that nine-tenths of
fatal cases reach their chronic stage through
a stupid indifference to a correct treatment
when the system is firstassailed. 1t is easily
shown that thousands OLIVES could besaved.
NERVOUS PAINS.
T0rture.-For instance: SCIATICA, which so
sorely afllicts the human family, and which
is defined to be neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve, rheumatism Of the hip-joint, or parts
adjoining il, hip govt pains in the loins and
hips, even in It's milde5t form never SEXES
its prey without due warning.
SYMPTOMS.
iCute.-Sudden and acute pains in the hip
and loins; rcdness, swelling, tenderness,
soreness, fever, lamcnCss and sometimes ex-
cruciating pains. The disease rapidly deveI-
ops into chronic or inhammatory stage.
TREATMENT.
ure.-Rub the parts affected thoroughly and
vigorously with ST. JACOBS OIL; create a
burning sensation by the friction of rubbing
on the Oil; apply warmth; fannels wrung
out in hot water.

of the hypnotizer any person, no matter
how strong of will, may become a slave.
I tell you sir, the day is not far distant
when whole nations will be brought under

persons and in little while they are as
