You Cannot Escape The inroads of disease if youdo not know how to fortify your body and keep it in good condition. Do I Need a Course of Medicine? And what medicine is best for me? are questions which every man or woman must confront at some time or other. You do need medical treatment if you are not well, if your system is below par, if you find your daily duties a burden, if you have a bad headache, a bad taste in your mouth, especially in the morning, if your stomach expells gasses with rumbling, and a sense of fullness or discomfort after meals is of frequent occurance, ringing noises in the head, dizziness or vertigo, shortuers of breath, a sallow complexion, a yellowish east of the eye and skin, shooting pains in various parts of the body, specks floating before the eyes and a discharge of mucus from the nose or throat are all signs of failing health. Perhaps your attention has not been directed to those things before. You should watch the sensations closely. Many a life may be saved if the earliest warning syptoms were not neglected and the rules of health were not violated. In many persons the sign of breakdown appears suddenly. The strength gives out on slight exertion, the feet and ankles swell, perhaps very little at first bnt gradually the swelling increases. There may oe unnatural flow of urine with irritability of the bladder. In others an acute thirst developes, the nervous system begins to manifest evidences of weakness, sudden noises cause the patient to start up involuntary, the palms of the hand and the soles of the feet burn and itch, a slight irritation of the throat and a tendancy do cough is observed, other syptoms that something is wrong are due to imperfect digestion of the food. Thus the abdomen becomes swollen or bloated, the clothing feel® too tight or uncomfortable, the liver becomes sluggish, the bowels may become constipated, and the hands and feet cold, the circulation is defective and the veins stand out like blue lines upon the skin, the mind acts slowly and the memory is impaired. By and by if these warnings are not heeded then comes ft Complete Breaking Down The heart fails as the brain gives away and the end is at hand. THIS NOT AN OVERDRAWN PICTURE. Every daily paper you may chance to pick up contains the names of persons who died suddenly, though their friends supposed them to be in perfect health. Yet what must have been the condition of their vital organs? What better evidence of careless neglect could one demand. A course of treatment with P.C. W. SPECIAL TREATMENT is a sure and speedy way out of all DIFFICULTIES that betoken impaired health. P. C.W. SPECIAL TREATMENT ASSISTS NATURE to restore health, by aiding the digestion, REGULATING the liver and bowels, strengthening the stomach, toning the KIDNEYS AND PURIFIES THE BLOOD. What do a few dollars amount to when health and vigor are at stake? The subject is worthy of your serious consideration. Get a package today of this wonderful treatment at The Holthouse Dfag Co.
