The Past Seems Like a Terrible Night- mare, and the Present Health and Happiness. How the Indian Accomplished a Won- derful Restoration. There are thousands of women throughout our land who are living the lives of hopeless invalids, unable to enjoy their existence, let alone to attend to the ordinary duties of life. If more of them would follow the example of Mrs. Harriet Jansen, 554 Bay St., St. Panl, Minn., there would be inte less misery in the world. Mrs. Jansen was en invalid for five years and had spent an untold amount of money for doctors and medicines without experiencing the slightest relief. She was at last urged by a friend to purchase a bottle of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. It is best perhaps to let her tell the results in her own words:—~ “T have taken three bottles of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, and now I feel like a new person, my appetite has returned, I slee well, and enjoy myself as I used to before became ill and life had become a burden to me. I can again do my housework, some- thing that I was unable to do for several years. Iam gaining in flesh and my friends say I look five years younger. I desire to recommend your medicines, especially your Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, to all suffering from any disease for which you claim they are a cure, as I am sure it will do all and more than is claimed for it.” The principle of health and how to keep it, of life and how to prolong it, is so simple when looked upon in a rational manner, that there is hardly any excuse whatever for the existence of sickness. This getting up in the morning tired, nervous and restless.
