Treated for the Wrong Complaint

is at all times hard to lose one whom we hold dear, but it is terribly so when we have the consciousness that but for mistaken treatment the loved one might have been with us still. In some cases the fact that the sufferer is treated for the wrong complaint is known in sufficient time to admit of the patient being saved, and the following is a case in point A little more than two years ago, a beautiful young lady in Now York was given up to dic of consumption. Her fond parents took her to Paris asia last resort, hoping to find some skilful physician there capable of arresting the rapid strides of the supposed dreadful disease, In this their hopes were lighted, but fortunately away in that distant foreign city they met with a description of a new method of treating jpepsia, which emanated from the Mount Lebanon Shakers of the State of New York. The thought struck the parents of this helpless young git] that perhaps their daughter was afflicted with Indigestion or Dyspepsia, and not consumption; and if so, there might be a chance for her recovery.

Some of the Scigel's Curative Syrup, made especially for the cure of Dyspepsia, was obtained and administered to the tient, and the result was marvellous.

'o-day their daughter lives in the enjoy ment of good health. The fact was, the patient had been treated for the wrong complaint, and when she was treated for Dyspepsia (her real trouble), all the alarming symptoms of consumption vanished. This not an isolated case. The country is full of suffering thousands that are being treated for Liver Complaint, Malaria, Kidney Disease, Lung Disorders, &c., &c., when the fact is they are afflicted with Indigestion in some of its varied forms, and all of such sufferers would obtain relief if they were properly treated for Dyspepsia.
