Is an old adage we often hear, and all
roads do not lead to good health, but
great many do. When an invalid

health to start on. A subject of go
great Importance should be carefully
considered. No system of treating
diseases will cure all cases, but it is
wise to select the one that makes the
greatest per cent of cures in the short
est length of time. Some systems of
treating are painful and emb4rrass-
ing. If the same results may be OBJ
tanned by a painless system, that
would surely be preferable. The OPP

NOR, abcess or cancer can be cured
with out the knife, that system is
worth investigating. If your lungs
are seriously affected and all the sys-
TENS of treating you have tested have
not cured you, you are advised to
change climate"-the 'sure road to
health in lung trouble" they say
But if you have read of a system OF
treating that claims to cure lung
trouble without you leaving your
home and business, it is wise to in
vestigate these statements; find ii
they are true or false. If you have
been accustomed for years to taking
a nightly dose of medicine for consti-
patton, and you have read of system
of treating that cures constipation
permanently an d without medicines,
you should lose no time finding out if
that's true. Ii you have paralysis
and believe your case hopeless by all
the systems of treating that you have
tried, and you have read that it is
durable. painlessly and permanently.
go today and find out if there is any
truth in this statement. If your kid
neys are weak and painful, or if you
are afflicted with diabetes, here is q
system that claims to cure 1t. II you
have neuralgia, Rheumatism, goitre
or any disease that has not reached
the incurable stage, ask you to in
vestigate Natural Healing. 1t is ma
