BAFFEED!

One of the Moet Unaccountable and Dan* (erooi of Recent Deceits Discovered and Exposed. There is some mysterious trouble that is attacking nearly every one in the land with more or less violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in tne night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by Its symptoms. It is, indeed, a modern mystery. Like those severe and vague maladies that attack horses and prostrate nearly all the animals in the land, this subtle trouble seems to menace mankind. Many of its victims have pains about the chest snd sideband sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A strange, sticky slltne collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy land upon the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation istclt at the pit of the stomaca, which food docs not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken,, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. Alter a whilo a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended witn a gransh-colo-ed expectoration. The aillictcd one l’eels tired all the while, and sleep does not socm to ailord any rest. He beooines nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive, and then, ngain, outttux intensely; the sain is dry and hot ut times; the blood grows thick and stugnaut; the whites of tho eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of tho food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is often attended with palpitation of the heart. The vision becomes impaired, with spots before tho eyes; there Is a feeling of prostration nnd great weakness. Most; of these symptoms are to turn present. It is thought that nearly onethird of our population have this disorder In some of its varied forms, whilo medical men have almost wholly mistaken its nature. Some have treated it for one oomplatnt; some for another, but nearly all have failed to reach the seat of the disorder. Indeed, many physicians aqp afflicted with it themselves. The experience of Dr. A. G. Rlohards, residing at No. 468 Tremont street, Boston, is thus described by himself: “I had all those peouliar and painful symptoms which 1 have found afflicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baffled me. I knew all the Commonly established remedies would be unavailing, for I had trlod them often In tho past. I therefore determined to strike out lu a now path. To my Intense satisfaction I found that I was improving. The dull, stupid feeling departed, and I began to enjoy life once more. My appetite returned. My sleep was refreshing. The color of my face, which had been a sickly yellow, gradually assumed the pink tinge of health. In the eourse of three weeks I felt like a new man, and know that It was wholly owing to the wonderful efficiency of Warner’s Tippecanoe The Best, which was all the medicine I took.” Doctors and scientists often exhaust their skill apd the patient dlos. They try everything that has been used by, or is known 10, the profession, and then fall. Even If they save the life it is often after great and prolonged agony. Where all this can bo avoided by precaution and care, bow insane a thing it is to endure such suffering! With a pure and palatable preparation within reach, to neglect its use is simply Inexcusable. “This is a new wrinkle,” as the maiden said, on consulting her mirror.
