These conflicting counsels increased
the confusion OF the distressed lady,
but they did not make the wheel go
round.
just then a carriage drove up,
gentleman got out auo asked what
was the matter. One OF the bystaud-
ers said it was break down, while
each OF eleven others gave a different
explanation as to why the wheel
wouldn't go round. The stranger
examined the turnout, led the pony
forward step, and as the sparks be-
gan flying, remarked, "Aladam,
your horse, harness, cart and wheel
are all right, The sparks that the
tire draws from the curbstones are
merely outward symptoms OF the in
ward uilment. The real difficulty is
not with the tire OF the wheel, but
with its axle, or its box. ~ just

minutes the entire trouble was ended.
lie had removed the cause instead OF
temporizing with the effect. As the
lady drove on rejoicing someone re-
marked: 'How few people in the
world reason down to the root of
things, and at the same time carry in
their heads the know how that
makes the wheels go round"
1t is just this lack of reasoning
down to the root OF things that is to-
day causing intense suffering to thou
sands OF men and women; and for this
suffering, to great extent, man is
to blame.
Refined, intelligent, educated men,
who have spent eight or ten OF the
best years OF their lives in colleges,
medical schools and hospitals, cling
to the false, child-llke theory OF doc
toring the tire, as it were, instead OF
curing the axle, or its "hot-boX.n
They direct their attention to VIII ere
they see the sparks nyiag, instead of
working upon the hidden spot where
the real trouble lies. The conse-
quence is, they never acquire the
"know how" which enables them TO
regulate the wheels of life.
When the sparks OF pain fairly fly
from woman's head, her back, her
limbs, or the most important and
sensitive organs OF her body, it is as
senseless to resort TO "local applica-
tions," pain cures. or stimulants. as
it is to grease the tire, whip the
horse, or drive on regardless OF con-
sequences. Those people try to cure
symptoms instead OF reasoning to the
root of things and removing the cause
of the disorder. The result is phys
ical patch work a1d failure instead Of
success.
A most conspicuous exception to
this rule is the man who, nearly
thirty years ago, proclaimed that he
would not make such mistakes, but
would devote himself to reasoning to
the root of disease, and to the dis
covery OF new principle for its treat
ment. Many thousand letters OF graf
itude from former patients in all parts
OF America, have told this physician
that he has been successful beyond
even his own expectations. This
man is Dir. r. V. Pierce. OF Buffalo,
