serious way. Further than that, women
are tenacious. 1t takes them long time
to be sick in bed. 1t takes a pretty strong
case of sickness to put a woman to bed.
She will keep moving around on her feet
for days after a man would be laid out on
his back Perhaps she bears sickness bet
ter than a man does because she is used
to It, She puts up with it entirely too long
for her own good. Her husband may try
to get her to give up her work and worry
and take rest, but often the only way
he can do it is to send her to Europe. The
absolute rest, and the invigorating sea air
bring back health and color. The trip
is a good thing. There is no doubt in the
world of that. The trouble is that seventy
thousand people are only one-thousandth
part of the total population of the United
States, and where one goes to Europe one
thousand stay at home-not because they
like it, but because they have to. These
must find a substitute for the European
trip; ami even among the seventy thous-
and who may take the trip, there are
many thousands who really need some
thing else-something more.
If some one, by the use of subtle al
chemy could condense the benefits of an
ocean voyage, and put them into bottles
for general use, a great fortune wouia
await him. Practically this very thing
has been done, and a fortune has been
built from it, The ocean voyage soothes
the nerves, purifies the blood, helps the
digestion and gives sound, healthful
sleep These are the things essential to
health. lack of these things is the
cause of all disease. No matter how the
trouble shows itself, figure 1t back to the
start and you will find it among these
cyDses. No matter what the disease Is
called. find a cure for the cause of 1t and
| the troubles ceases.
THAT is the best theory that can be fol-
low ed in taking medicine. 1t is simple
theory and physicians are every where
adopting it more and more. Every year
some symptom which has been consld-
cred separate disease is discovered to
he the mere indication of something diff
ferent. Physicians find that they have
been treating symptoms. Instead of treat
ing the real disease. They find that they
have been hacking at the branches, In
stead of killing the roots.
, Only comparatively few medicines are
needed to cure all diseases that can be
cured Every physician has a limited
list of medicines which he uses in almost
all cases Many physicians have found
that they had use for only a dozen diff
ferent drugs; and that with these, and
their various combinations, they could
treat any disease that presented itself
with a fair chance of success-with as
much cndnce OF success, as IL lHty udh
one hundred drugs, instead of twelve.
Ask any physician you like. and he will
name instantly half dozen drugs that he
will say he could not possibly get along
without. lie uses these same drugs hum
dreds Of times during the year, and on
these half dozen drugs, all physicians Will
agree. 1t is, therefore, not so very strange
that one single preparation may be-and
has been-remarkably successful In the
cure of almost any known disease. Nine
ty-nine cases of sickness out Of one hum
bred are traceable to the same cause, and
the same sort of treatment will cure in
every case.
People who are losing flesh, who are be-
coming nervous, irritable, thin and weak
are on the direct road TO consumption and
other wasting diseases. A strong,
healthy body and pure, rich blood,
perfect digestion are certain safe
guards against sickness. With weak
ness and emaciation comes the posi-
bility Of illness The body Is ready to give
way TO any form Of disease that attacks

the assault. Whatever will make the d.

nerves steady and the sleep restful Will
cure practically all diseases and will be
