WILL CHOLERA CONE?
1t is Best and Safest to Be Pre-
pared.
WHAT PHYSICIANS HAVE TO SAY
ON THE SUBJECT.
we Should Put Our Bodies i'll Order a
Well as Cur Premises

The Boston Globe of September Bird
said edito,ially:
contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low, and whose general health
is impaired, are the first to fall preys to
epidemics. In view of the present chol-
era scare, it behooves every one to be as
healthy as he cam
The above sensible advice should be
needed. The question next arises as to
the method.
1t was the good fortune OF the writer
to meet at the Falmouth Hotel, Portland,
the bluff and big-hearted Dr.. John B.
Bray of Bridgton, and in response to in
quiry he said:
''Certainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. 1t cholera
reaches our shores every one should be
prepared physically, so far as possible,
to withstand it. We should put ouI
bodies in good condition as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the liver
clogged, and the stomach out of order,
such a person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in
good health. s.ss u
What would you recommend, Doctor,
as a general public remedy?"
WELL" said DR.. Bray, ''thati is a pretty
broad question and covers considerable
ground. In the first place constitutions
differ; and again, what | should say
might be misconstrued."
Assuring the doctor that his meaning
should be made clear, he continued: swell

stomach, and to my personal knowledge
contains not an atom of anything harm
full in its composition; but, on the con-
trary, is composed of the very proper
ties which are recognized by the medical
profession, in the combination to be
found in this remedy, to sooth, cleanse
and heal. In a word it is both prophy-
Tactic and therapeutic; and in my seven
teen years of practice have never found
combination so effectual in its results

Tho above is strong endorsement
from a leading physician of Cumber-
land County, and in connection with the
subject of cholera the statement of DR..
Barthelow, the leading medical writer of
the United States is of interest. DR..
Barthelow recommends the potassium
treatment for cholera, as potassium
acts as an astringent in the discharges
incident to the disease. In Kings Sarsa-
parilla this potassium treatment is fully
combined.
It is the ounce of prevention however,
that most concerns the people now, and
it is certainly sensible advice that recon-
mends us to put our bodies in good order
as well as our dwelling places. Kings
Sarsaparilia is skilfully combined by
chemist of long experience in the select
ion and preparation of drugs and can be
implicitly relied upon as the most valu-
able preparation of the kind on the
market. Price per bottle Is cents, and
every bottle is sold with the positive
guarantee to refund the price if it fails
to benefit. The oldest remedy on the
market sold on the mo cure, no pay"
plan, obtainable of any druggist.
