Each said she had nothing to live for. That twd young women should kill themselves in six months in fits of jeal- ousy over one man is considered re- markable, especially as the man in this case is an ordinary appearing young feilow.

Consequence—stomach, liver, bowels poisoned, thrown out of order; sour stomach, gases, colic, diarrheea, dysentery, cholera, a dicitis, and in some regions yellow fever and the plague. Little children suffer terribly everywhere. The proper thing is to send all impure and unnecessary matter out of the body every day—not give it a chance to sour in the stomach and bowels. You will stop hot, feverish conditions and keep your insides cool and healthy. To do it, use a medicine that is pleasant to the taste and not harsh and violent in its action.
