tional miners are still required The
officials state that muCkers. shovelers
and few machine men can find en-

ANOTHER REMARKABLE CASE
Which the Doctors Failed to Cure or
Understand.

which the Doctors Failed to Cure or
Understand.
A medical man, as a rule, dislikes to
acknowledge the value of proprietary
medicine. In fact, professional ETH
quette debars him from doing so.
There are many eminent physicians,
those most avanced in thier PROBES
sions, who give full credit to the great
curative properties of Vogeler's Cura-
tive Compound from the fact that it is
manufactured by an old and reliable
company, prOprietors Of st. Jacobs Oil.
from the formula of brother phvsi-
clan, who today stands in the front
ranks of the most eminent medical
men, and on account Of its intrinsic
merit it is largely prescribed by the
medical profession.
Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the
particulars of her own case, which will
doubtless be of interest to many of our
lady readers:
II had been an intense sufferer for
many years from dyspepsia, liver and
kidney troubles. when pamphlet was
placed in my hands, and, although at
that time l had been bedridden for
more than six months, l determined.
after reading some of the cases similar
to mine, which had been completely
cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound,
to try some, especilly as my d ctors
failed to even benefit me, and | had
given up all hope of ever being well
again. The very first dose of l 5 drops
relieved me. 1t was not long before l
was able to get up and about; three
months from taking the first dose was
enjoying better health than l had been
for IA years. / should not have been
alive today had it not been for Vogel-
er's Curative Compound"
Mrs. Nettleton said: 81 have recom-
mended NOg ler's Curative Compound
for indigestion and eczema, and in
every case it has proved a cure, beyond
doubt. Mr.. Swinbank, our chemist.
has sent me the names of no end of peo-
pie who have been cured by Vogeler's
Curative Compound. BY the way. the
