THE LOCK AND THE KEY.
At B. F. Ehlers & Co.

You can operate lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
Of it. Now, many so-cailed diseases
are in truth only forms of one disease,
branches Of one tree, as we may say.
For example, if we can nourish the
body and enrich the blood, we speedily
get rid of many of our troubles,
such as Anemia, Fevers, rheumatism,
Scrofula and Blood disorders, and so
on-all proofs that the body lacks
vitality and force. Nothing is so
effective body builder as cod liver
oil but, alas, how many are nau-
seated at the very thought of it. In
