Modern Medical Science Aims at the
Root of the Disease and Docs
Not Treat W mptoms.

Few things have developed as rap
idly during the past few years as the
science of medicine" said a well
known practitioner recently "And
tie most striking phase in its progress
is in the treatment of the blood. In
the old days it was thought that the
opening Of vein and the letting of
blood was a cure for most diseases,
The fallacy of that theory was discov-
cred after a while. Then symptoms
were treated and the blood disregard
ed. That also has lately been shown
to be wrong practice. for, though
driven away for time, the symptoms
always return if the cause is not re
moved, and the disease is worse than
before.
ut is the root of the disease that
must be attacked and the most i'm
portant development of modern medi-
cal science has been in discovering
that, in most diseases, this lies in the
condition of the blood. If the blood
is thin or poor, the nerves cannot re
ceive their proper nourishment, the
system becomes run down and in q
condition to invite disease. Build up
the blood, restore the worn-out nerves
and you remove the cause. And when
the cause is gone, the disease will fol
low"
An instance of the truth of this is
shown in the interesting story told by
Mr.. and Mrs Christopher Armstrong,
of Jefferson, Okla.
"Our youngest daughter" said Mr..
Armstrong to reporter of the TRAY.
eler, Arkansas City, Kan, was for
three years afflicted with st. Vitus
dance, and we almost despaired OF
| finding relief in medical treatment
She was SO helpless that she had to
be fed and would fall over at times
and be unable to rise.

deal about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and, as last resort
| determined to try them. The effect
was almost miraculous. From the
first box there was noticeable i'm
proyement and by the time she hat
4 taken six boxes she was almost well
| Altogether, she took about a dozer
boxes, and now, at thirteen years o.
age, is strong and healthy, weighing
ia pounds.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong made
i affidavit to the above statement be
fore w. D. Kramer, a notary public.

disorders, and their power to cure il
the vast number of diseases due to i'm
