Wearing out! That is Just what a

great many people are. doing. They know
something is wrong, and yet can't tell what
is the matter. Did You ever think what Il
large proportion of the American people
are sick, or at least if not exactly sick. are
not well? Something is the matter all the
time. What is the cause of all this? Ger
tainly it is not a natural condition, but on
the contrary is one that should cause much
anxiety and alarm. The, American people
are plroverbially in a hurry. They eat
in hurry, work in a hurry. sleep in a
hurry, overworking and overstraining ma
ture, and then wonder why it is they don't
feel well and strong. One Of the results of
the American way of %rtfshing" things is
the impovershing Of tlre blood, which fur
nishes the sinews of life. Not being able TO
respond TO the calls made on it, the blood
becomes thin and weak. and losing its
strength, it soon fails TO accomplish the
work for which it is intended, and disease
in IFS Varied forms is the inevitable result.
Nothing will restore failing health, moth
ing will so quickly and surely bring

battle of Missionary Ridge was materially
