durable type from which so many fiber
sex suffer, languish and die. Itwas all
the worse because the tendency to it
wasinherited. She had been under the
systematic treatment of many of the
bestphysicians in New York andBrook.
Ign and elsewhere for twenty years with
only temporary relief In fact, there
were few, if any, kinds of food that did
not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organs Of diges-
ton. The usual symptoms Of dyspep-
sia, with its concomitant ailments, were
all present-bad taste in the mouth,

ministered stimulants merely for the
sake of the slight and transient relief
they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the case and making
every symptom more pronounced and
intense. By this time the pneumo-
gastric nerves had become very seri-
ously involved, and she had chronic
Gastritis, and also what / may be al
lowed to call chronic intermittent ma
larial fever all at once. For the latter
the physicians prescribed the good, old
fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quin-
inc gradually increasing the doses, until
incredible as it may seem-she actu-
ally took THIRTY GRAINS A DAY FOR
DAYS IN SUCCESSION, This could not
last. The effect of the quinine was,
if possible, almost as bad as the two
fold disease which was wearing away
her strength and her life. Quinine
poisoning was painfully evident, but
sthe fever was there still Almost every
day there came on the characteristic
chill and racking headache, followed
by the usual weakness and collapse.
About this time | met socially my
friend Mr.. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncey Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me these facts, said: Why, |
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it." "What
cured your | asked eagerly. Kas-
kine," he said, "try it for your wife. "
Ihad seen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in It than l had in saw
dust, for such a case as hers. Mrs.
Hall had no higher opinion, yet on the
strength of my friends recommends
ton got bottle and began Its use
as directed.
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
shozOed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these diseases
vanished, as side by side they had tort
ured their victim for ten years-the
dyspepsia alone having, as have said,
existed for twentyyears. Her appetite
improved from week to week until she
could eat and digest the average food
that any well person takes, without any
suffering or inconvenience. With re-
newed assimilation of food came, of
course, steady increase in flesh, until
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. l consider this result scientific
miracle, and the New Quinine " is en-
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
no other medicine whatever.
If you think recital of these facts
calculated to do good you are welcome
to make them public.
