enough to have them-we are reminded
that God caused our ancestors to dwell
in booths in the desert. where He pro-
tected and guarded them. Bv leaving
our secure dwellings and living for the

tor as we journey through the wilder
ness Of life. that our mortal bodies are

the buffeting Of the elements. that our
fine houses will avail us nothing II the
protecting hand Of God is withdrawn
from us.

eleven months suffering horribly
with a trouble that had all apparent
symptoms of White Swelling.
After trying all available doctors,
and being advised by them that my

and that even then chances for recov-
cry were very doubtful, as a last re-
sort began the use of FERRALINE
on my SON He took the Tonic regu-
larly and while taking the tonic daily
applied Ferraline externally to the
affected parts.
After using Ferraine as a tonic and
applying externally for a short time,
my son vas greatly improved and
now, after the use of several bottles
of FERRALINE my son is completely
cured and is never troubled with the
swelling.
