There is no power on earth that can do what Magnetism is capable of doing. It is the one and only revitalizing agent in Nature.

Magnetism never has failed, it never will fail, and it never can fail to increase the circulation, for it is the primal energy in Nature. It is the very substance of all life. We can show you the most incontestable proof that we have cured cases of Paralysis, Bright's Disease, Dyspepsia, Consumption, Locomotor Ataxia, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Insanity, Diabetes, Nervous Prostration, Tumors, Obesity and a hundred-and-one other diseases that are called incurable.

All described in our New Book, "A PLAIN ROAD TO HEALTH." CATARRH OF STOMACH AND BOWELS AND BORDERING ON F Jan. 16th, 1906. For the benefit of the sick and suffering I wish to make the following statement: I had been afflicted with catarrh of the stomach and bowels and general debility, bordering on paralysis, for the past fifteen years. For two years I lived altogether on fresh fish and dry bread and milk. After a while I had to quit fish, and for three months I lived on toasted bread and milk, and kept getting worse until I had to quit work, having no strength left. Myself and friends thought that my time in this world was short, having all this time been in the hands of twelve doctors, some noted specialists, and the doctors all diagnosed my case as catarrh of the bowels and stomach. After I had given up all hope of getting well again, a friend of mine who had taken Dr. Thacher's treatment advised me to consult the doctor. I wrote him and he advised me. I made up my mind to make one more effort and give him a trial, and the result was to-day I am as well and sound as ever I was, am attending to my business, which requires from 16 to 20 hours a day. I eat anything that is set before me, having perfect digestion, and I think Dr. Thacher's treatment is a blessing to suffering humanity, and would advise persons with chronic diseases to consult him, as I honestly believe he can do for others what he has done for me. Yours truly, [J. Y. KECK. 17 E. Third Street, Pottstown, Pa.

Query: I am unable to get through a single winter without one and sometimes two or three very hard spells with my lungs. It usually begins in my throat and gradually moves downward into the bronchial tubes, where it develops into a cough, the persistence of which is very annoying. Ordinary cough remedies have no effect. I have a prescription that was given to me by a doctor ten years ago, which consists of one and one-half drams of creosote in four ounces of syrup of white pine. One bottle of this most always cures the cough. Now, I know you do not approve of creosote in any form, and tnat is what I wish to ask you about.-E. P. A., S. D. Answer: If you get good results from the creosote and white pine I would advise you to use it. I am not totally opposed to the use of creosote. My objections have been occasioned by physicians using it for consumption. The persistent use of creosote until the skin is colored by it and the perspiration smells of it, I believe to be harmful; but used as a palliative for a cough for a short time, I have no fault to find with it. I consider the creosote and white pine a very harmless cough medicine and would have no hesitation in using it myself if it were necessary. Pure Drinking Water.

Query: I would be pleased to have your opinion of the enclosed advertisment. The medicine consists of Fluid Extract Jaborandi, taken in a little water three times a day, and continued for several weeks, or until the hair is restored to its natural color. Do you consider Jaborandi in any way injurious to the human system, and could other vegetable remedies be taken at the same time, if desired?-W. W. S. Answer: The fluid extract of Jaborandi is a very powerful and dangerous medicine. It operates on the sweat glands, and probably in this way affects the hair. But in order to produce any effect upon the hair, it would have a profound effect upon the whole nervous system. I have no knowledge as to its use to restore gray hair. The alkaloid extract of Jaborandi is known as Pilocarpin, which is sometimes used hypodermically, and is tremendously effective as DR. JOHN D. MILES, DIVINE HEALING. Present or absent treatments.

Health is your natural condition, disease has to be caught. If you will obey the natural laws of nutrition you cannot be sick, but in order to obey these natural laws you must know them. I have the only school in this country, or in the world so far as I can learn, teaching these laws scientifically and practically. I cure nearly all kinds of disease by scientific feeding. I have to say it in this way to be understood-What I mean is that I teach you how to select, combine and proportion your food so as to produce chemical harmony in the stomach under all the varying conditions of age, climate and work, then Nature does the curing. This is the true, practical Food Science. Remember that many an ailment is pronounced "incurable," not because of the power of the disease, but because of the incompetency of the doctor.

THE ENSIGN REMEDIES The Ensign Remedies are sold largely to physicians of all schools, who use them in their practice. The patient does not know he is taking Ensign Remedies, but he does know he is getting help, and the doctor adds to his reputation and bank account. One doctor writes us this month: "Whatever reputation I have is due entirely to Ensign Remedies. I have cured hopeless, given-up cases; I have cured diseases that are considered incurable except by the surgeon's knife, and I have cured cases the surgeon did not dare to touch." The only physicians who fail with the Remedies are those who attempt to mix them with drugs. Some people also make this mistake, taking our Remedies for a special purpose, and drugs for other diseases. This cannot be done successfully. Either use the Remedies alone and give them a fair chance, or do not use them at all. We have booklets which explain our Remedies. We have one on General Diseases, one on Women's Diseases, one on Varicose Veins and Varicocele, one on the Heart, and leaflets on various subjects. All or any of which we will send to you free. There is no obligation to buy. We would like to hear from physicians who want to be put in the successful class. Write to-day. ENSIGN REMEDIES CO., Department A, Canadian Office, Windsor, Ont. BATTLE CREEK, MICH. W. S. ENSIGN, Phys. Ch. Buttermilk Diet. Query: Please answer as to what is cause of sickness and give remedy for the following symptoms: A woman, sixty-seven years of age, has been afflicted since she can remember. About two hours after eating she feels colicky, and has sharp pains. There is a soreness on left side. Pain usually begins in left breast, and is sore about five inches below, in waist line and pit of stomach. Pain often moves around to small of back, and sometimes up left side to head, and arm gets numb. Back is very lame. Two years ago, for a time, had no pain in side, but was afflicted with the same pain in right leg. When very bad will vomit water several hours after eating. Is worse when she moves arms much in working or exercising. Feels inclined to belch. She is very careful what she eats, but suffers, no matter how careful. She, years back, has become unconscious for an hour or so through her suffering.-H. A. L., Utah. Answer: The age of the woman and the duration of her sickness make it quite certain that her trouble is not due to any growth in the stomach or organic trouble with the bowels. I am inclined to, regard her case as one of intestinal indigestion. If I were treating her I would test the effect of an exclusive buttermilk diet on her, in connection with rest and massage. Good, fresh, rich buttermilk. A glass, with a little sugar added, if she pleases. A second glass of buttermilk may be taken. Sipped slowly, and a piece of stale bread and butter, brown bread preferred. This is to constitute her only diet, not oftener than once in four hours. If she is addicted to coffee or tea, a little can be taken shortly after eating, without milk or sugar. If after having tried this it did not work favorably, I should then proceed with other experimental measures. Alcoholism Treated. By FRANK R. SIPLE, Magnetic Healer, Canton, Ohio. Reading over your July number of The Columbus Medical Journal there came before me a treatment of alcoholism by freely using cold water. I wish to place the fact before the minds of the people in general that alcoholism can and has been successfully treated by suggestions. Three years ago a man was brought to me for treatment after being an habitual drunkard for ten years and not drawing a sober breath for that length of time. He was actually crazy. He had no mind of his own. THE COLUMBUS MEDICAL JOURNAL. The Waste and Decay of the Tissues destroy the Nerves, Weaken the Organs, Reduce the Flesh and produce decline and decay. WHAT IS DISEASE?

He would bring whisky home by the quart and gallon doctored up with all kinds of bitters so the family could not tell what it was. I gave him ten treatments and he has never drunk anything since and has no desire for it. Change of Vocation. Query I have a nervous excitement, or feeling that I am in motion all over. Am afraid of a collapse if I don't take something that will act right away. My work is running a high speed hemming machine, in a shirt factory. I suspect my machine may affect my nerves, although I don't work as fast as I can, but try to go as moderately as possible. I have been in this business over twenty years, but never had this feeling until last spring. I got thin in face, have cold feet at night, and legs below knees weak and tire easily. Have stomach trouble and catarrh in head, with sores in end of nose, first one side, then the other. I am careful in my diet, and take physical culture exercises morning and evening, but In my judgment, whatever you may do, whatever diet you may observe, or treatment you may follow, the chances are decidedly against your entire recovery until you have a complete change of vocation, and perhaps location. Catarrh is but another symptom of the general depression of your whole nervous system. Your wise selection of diet and your good care of yourself, of course, will hold you up longer than if you were neglecting these things, but they cannot atone for the constant depression of your monotonous and continued vocation. The fact that you have followed the vocation so long, before it had any effect upon you, proves nothing. It only shows that you were able to fight against it for a number of years, but at last the nervous system has yielded to the strain. You ought to give yourself at least six months' change from your present vocation. For the catarrh nothing is better than a spray of liquid vaseline. The sores in your don't seem to get better.-Mr. F. S. M., New Osteopathy in a Nut Shell. York. Answer: You are certainly putting up an admirable and good fight to maintain your health and still continue your vocation. But, from the glimpses I get of your life from your letters, it seems to me certain that your nervous condition is the direct result of the work you are following.
