Treatment of this disease and the treatmeu

he had taken many pounds, and during

Der of chill cures, but nothing seemed to have
any permanent effect. His complexion wa:

ague patients, and his sunken, lusterless ewes
surrounded by dark circles, indicated how
completely his health had been undermined

brown coating, breath very offensive, and he
compliance of constant dull headache

constipation completed tale of woe so COM

For TINS man [ prescribed Pe-ru-na and
Man-a-lin, the Man-a-lin to be used until the
bowels became regular and digestion good.
A few weeks after received a very enthusi-
astic letter from him, in which he declared
himself nearly well and better than he had
| been N ten years, and had taken no
quinine since beginning my treatment I in

previously, had been taken with the fever and
ague. AT cnce physicians were employed
who gave her The usual remedies, QUinine be-
ing tie principal one. Physician after physi-
clan were employed, who sometimes were able
to break her chills for ati,ne, but they would
invariably return, reducing hera little more
eachtime. In desperation she had resorted to
every school Of medicine, until in complete
Encouragement, she had given up employing
physicians and had taken uuinine regularly
ever since. At the time she was brought to

OF quinine several times each day. as it had
become an inveterate habit with her, and yet
she continued at irregular intervals to have

and, in addition to the extreme weakness and
