Do you see that locomotive engine standing on the side-track Something has broken down about it. There is of steam from its valves; it is still and cold as a dead whale ona beach; it can't draw a train; it can't even move itself. Now, teil me, do you believe that any amount of tinkering and a bit. Nothing on earth will make it go hammering at it would make it go? Not except steam in the boiler, and even that won't unless the engine is in order. Evoryboily knows that, you say. Do they? Then why don't they act on this principle in every case where it applies Here is such a se, Writing concerning says:, "In theantumn of 1880 my wile fell into a low, desponding state through family bereavement, Her appetite was poor, and no food, however light, agreed with her. After eating she had pain and tightness at the chest, and " sense Of tolness as if swollen around the waist, She wax much troubled with flatulence, and had pain at the heart and palpitation, At times she was so prostrated that she we confined to her room for days together, and lad barely strength to move.
