WILL CHOLERA CONE?
It is Best and Safest to Be Pre-.
pared.
WHAT PHYSICIANS HAVE TO SAY
ON THE SUBJECT.
wye Should Put Our Bodies in Order as
Well as Our Premises"

Well as our Hrehalses'
The Boston Globe of September 3rd
said editorially:
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 can"
The above sensible advice should be
needed. The question next arises as to
the method.
It was the good fortune of the writer
to meet at the Falmouth Hotel, Portland,
the bluff and big-hearted DIR. John b.
Bray of Bridgton, and in response to in
quiry he said:
sharply after their health. If cholera
reaches our shores every one should be
prepared physically, so far as possible,
to withstand it. We should put our
bodies in good condition as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the liver
clogged. and the stomach out of order,
such person is far more likely. to be
among the first victims than others IN
good health
What would you recommend, Doctor,
as a general public remedy"
'.Well,'' said DIR. Bray, 'that is pretty
broad question and covers considerable
ground. In the first place constitutions
differ; and again, what l should say
might be misconstrued."
Assuring the doctor that his meaning
should be made clear, he continued: "Well
sir:I should recommend the judicious use
of a preparation called Kings Sarsapa-
rilla,' because Ihave examinedthe formula
and know that it could not help proving
beneficial in building up and strengthen
ing impaired systems; in any case. King s
Sarsaparilla is a SPLENDID tonic and
blood purifier. works on the liver and
stomach, and to my personal knowledge
contains not an atom of anything harm
full in it's 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
as that realized in the preparation OF
Kings Sarsaparilla, SO called"
''Then you recommend King Sarsapa-
rilla?''
Eyes, because I know the formula.
else I should not, and 1 do not recon-
mend any other kind
The above is a strong endorsement
from 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. DIR.
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. King s
Sarsaparillia is skilfully combined by a
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 .''no cure, no pay
plan, obtainable of any druggist.
