Energetic persevering action is gener-
ally necessary TO overcome the obstacles
and attain great and noble ends IN life.
SO, too il ope Is afflicted with dread
disease which has fastened tself upon
some Of the organs vi tho body and become
malhdy, active and persistent treatment
Is generally necessary to dislodRe the
enemy.
Since any medical treatment, however
good ii may be. must be long continued

ployod be OF a haripl less character. To be
safe and harmless, when their use is thus
protracted, they shoud be of such nature
As to be easily eliminated or carried out
OF the system when they have performed
their work, Just as the refuse of food is
carried ont OF the system. Most mineral
medicines are not thus easily gotten rid
OF. Take arsenic, for instance, IL intro
duced into the system In any cODsidera BILE

does not sooner Intervene. This is also
true OF most mineral medicines.
With medicines Of vogetab bio compost

BY aiding the natural functions OF the
several organs OF the body 'or which they
have an AFFINITY. and like the refuse Of
through the natural emunctories-the
lungs. skin, kidneys and bowels. Thus
no injury is done To the system in cases
where the use OF such medicines is con-

departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do

and complete list of all the ingredients
