REMEDIES FOR ALL DISEASES.

Every disease has It's remedy, and
in tie Sc .ch for that remedy hun.
dreds of cults of medicine have sprung
up. Cne man pins his faith in minute
doses of powerful drugs; anothe:
walks b.. cfoot over wet grass; an.
other eats raw fruit and grain; one Is
confident that mud Laths induce
health. and still another urges us to
chew each mouthful OF food at least
30 times before swallowing. No
doubt, every one of these cures Is
OF benefit to some form Of disease.
The mistake Of followers of the treat
mentS is In thinking their particular
remedy a cure.all for every malady.
There are no universal remedies. In
deed. every type of disease must re,
ceive special attention and be treated
after the fashion long experience and
study have taught the medical profes.
