The most powerful engine must

Man Is the most wonderful
piece of machinery In the
world, yet no matter how
strong and well made his bodi
ly fram maye be, if the Are
of life within him Is not con
stantly fed his limbs and mus
cles become powerless and use
loss. The reason men become
helpless and diseased Is be
cause the food they eat, th.
water they drink and the air
they breathe, which is the fuel
of life, is not properly appro
priated by the stomach, lungs
and nutritive organs. It Is not
completely transformed Into the
strength and working power
which Is to man what steam Is
to the engine. The vital power
and nerve force haa vanished
from the system. Sickness la
the result If we fall to restore
this nerve energy we cannot ex
pect health. If you have taken
the "drug cure" you know the
result. Call on me at my offlc.

Reports respecting the ordering out
