DEAD WEIGHT.
The Old Man of the Sea a Fact, Not q
Fiction.
How He Has Fastened Himself
Upon Thousands of People-The
Only Way to Successfully Get
Rid of Him.

The we'll known story in the Arabian
Nights of the Old Man of the Sea who
fastened himself on Sinbad and was
constantly with him, is one of the few
fairy fictions that can be applied to
every day life. What resembles this
terrible Old Man more than those most
painful of all maladies, rheumatism and
neuralgia?
There is listlessness, depression OF
spirits, general debility, disturbed
sleep, indigestion and more or less
trouble with the bowels. Then come
sudden twinges of pain in different
parts of the body, and finally, rheuma-
tism and neuralgia of a severe form
sets in. The real trouble is in the
blood and nerves. Therefore, in order
to rid yourself of this Old Man of the
Sea who is making your life aburden,
you must get your nerves and blood in
good condition. How this can be done
is shown by the following letter from
Mr.. c. l. Kelley, of Bangor, Maine
