Energetic, persevering action Is gener-
ally necessary TO overcome the Obstacles
and attain great and noble ends In life
So. too, II one is afflicted with dread
disease which has fastened itself upon
some Of the organs OF the body and become
firmly seated as a lingering or chronic
malady, active and persistent treatment
Is generally necessary 10 dslodgo the
enemy.
Since any medical treatment, however
good IL may be- must be long continued
In order to he effective In old established
and therefore obstinate cases, how i'm
portant that the remedial agencies en-
pl0yed be OF harmless character. To be
safe and harmless. when their use is thus
protracted, they should be OF such nature
as 10 be easily eliminated or carried ont
OF the system when they have performed
their work, Just as the refuse Of food Is
carried out OF the system. Most mineral
medicines are not thus easily gotten rid
of. Take arsenic for instance, II intro.
duced into tho system In any considerable
quantity II will lodge IN the brain, liver,
kidneys and other parts and there remain
as foreign body 30 set mp irritation and
disease for a long period OF time II death
does not sooner intervene, This is also
true OF most mineral medicines.
With medicines Of vegetable compost
ton Il Is different. They do their work
by aiding the natural functions Of the
several organs OF the body for which they
have an affinity, and like the refuse Of
our food, are carried out of the system
through the natural emunctories-
lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels. Thus
no injury is done to the system in cases
where the use Of such medicines Is con-
tinned for a long period Of time Espe-
cially is this true II the medicine taken IL
free from alcohol. II is well known. how
ever, that even small portions Of alcohol
taken for considerable period OF time
will do serious injury 10 the bodily organs
and functions and especially 20 the brain.
How important then, in choosing a med.
icine for treating a malady OF long stand
ing, and when medicines must, in order
20 cure be preseveringly taken for a con
siderable period ~ time, that those only
should be used which are knoiOn to be free
from alcohol and OF vegetable compost
tlOn.
With most medicines put up for family
use and sold through druggists. their
composition Is kept a profound secret,
known only TO those who compound and
put them out for sale. ANY afflicted
person who buys and uses then, does so,
as II were, In the dark, II not indeed at his

departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and SO has published broad
cast and openly 10 the whole world, full
and complete list OF all the ingredients
entering into the composition Of his widely
celebrated medicines Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums OF doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies Of KnOpn Composition.
BY this bold step he has shown that his
formulas are Of such excellence that he
is not afraid 70 subject them to the fullest
scrutiny, He has come to believe and il
