CLIMATE FAILED; MEDICINE Eff
FECTIVE,

1t has been absolutely shown that rest,
fresh air and good food do help many
persons suffering from tuberculosis. But
it must be admitted that the disease is
seldom more than arrested Something
more is needed.
Eckmans Alternative is a medicine made
for the treatment of tuberculosis. 1t has
conquered this disease again and again.
Often these benefits have been effected
where the surroundings were not ideal
yet recoVeries resulted. Now we argue
that Eckman's Alternative should be used
in every case of tuberculosis, in addition
to good, nourishing food and fresh air.
which we all need. A remarkable case

"breaking in shoes is that employed

Forever aftcrward the shoes are per-
