Y & CO. HOW DO WE DIG OUR GRAVES? We must eat or we cannot live. This we all know. But do we all know that we die by eating ? It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this Bounds. Tet it is fearfully true. We are ter? rified at the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis? ease constantly at our doors and in our houses far nore dangerous and destructive. Most people hare in then* own. stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi? demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are ?watchful, we can tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always neoessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling bad taste in the mouth,, especially . the morning; the appetite is change? able, sometimes poor and again it Beems as though the patient could not oat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug? gishness of- the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head? ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat? ed tongue; a sense of a load on the . stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skirt at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine.; sour taste in the mouth, fre? quently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a., greenish-colored expecto? ration ;'.poor nights'rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and .feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz? zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli? cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some? times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis? ease. But its real nature is that of constipation^ and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all-:the others through the .?corrupted ' and poisoned blood. Often the whole b??dy?mcluding >the ' .nervous system?is literally starved, even.:., when : there is no emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shown that there is ?'put/one remedy that can certainly ? cure this- disease in all its stages, namely, Shaier Extract of. Boots or Mother-Seigel's'Curative Syrup. It never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be 'lost in trying other so called remedieSj^for they will do no good. \ -Get . , this great vegetable .preparation, (discovered by a vener? able nurse whose name is a house-, -hold word in Germany) and be sure to get the genuine article. .. Q gotes up! by seven doctors, .... Shaker. Extract of Boots or Sei 'geTs; Syr-up has raised me to good health after seven doctors had given me .up to die with, consumption.?? So. writes B. F. Grace, Kirkman Tille, Todd Co., Ky. he heard of ix just in time. "I had been about given up to die with dyspepsia when I first Baw " the advertisement of Shaker Extract ?f Ttoots or SeigePs Syrup. After using four bottles I was able to at? tend to my business as well as eyer. I know of several cases of chills and fever that have been cured by it." So writes Mr. Thos. Pullum, of Tay? lor, Geneva Co., Ala. WORTH ten DOLLARS A BOTTLE. Mr. Thomas P. Evans, of the firm of! Evans .& Bro., Merchants, Horn town, Accomack Co., Va., writes' that, he had been sick with digestive disorders for many years and had tried many physicians and medi . eines without benefit. He began to use Shaker Extract of Boots or Sei gel's Syrup about the 1st of Jan. 1887, and was so much better in three weeks that he considered him? self practically a well man. He adds: "I have at this time one bot ..tle.pn hand, and if I could not get any more I would not talce a ten dollar bill for it." All druggists, or Address A. J. White, Limited. C4 Warren Si N. Y.
