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 sounds. Yet 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 more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more Blow, 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 necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change? able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat 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 skin 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 irrupted and poisoned blood. Often -the whole body?^including 'the nervous system?is literally starved,: even -when there is no "emaciation to tell the sad story. - .-Experience has shown that there is ' puV one ^remedy that can certainly \ cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Hoots or Mother "Seigel's Curative Syrup, i It never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be lost in" trying other so called remedies, for they will' dq no good. Get ^ this great- -vegetable preparation, (discovered by a vener ?"abje nurse whose name is a house ' hold "word in Germany) and be^sure to get the genuine article. : OIVEN- UP-BT 8EVEN DOCTOBS, . , Shaker-Extract of Boots or Sei fel's 'Syrup has raised me to good earth after seven doctors had given - me up to die with, consumption.?? So writes B. F. Grace, Kirkman ville, Todd Co., Ky. s EE HEARD OF IT JUST IN TIME. "I had been about given up to die with dyspepsia when I first saw the advertisement of Shaker Extract of Boots or Seigel's Syrup. After using four bottles I was able to at? tend to my business as well as ever. I.know of several cases of chillaand fever that have been cured byjt." So writes Mr. ThoB. Pullum, of Tay? lor, Geneva Co., Ala. WOBTH TEN DOLL AR 3 A BOTTLE. Mir. 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? cines 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: 'Thave at this time one bot? tle on hand, and if I could not get any more. I would not take a ten dollar bill for it" AU druggists, or Address A. J. White, Limited. 54 Warren St. N.T.
