LUMBAGO.
Carriage.—Why so many deviate from a graceful oarriago may be accounted for in ag many ways as thore are misshapen beings. MUSCULAR WEAKNESS. Lame Back.—Tho spinal column is the mainstay of the body,- which stiffens up the straight man or woman, and nature has provided muscular supports to hold it erect. TWISTED OUT OP SHAPE. Distortions—Men and women recklessly twist themselves out of shape, and the result is tho few standing straight and the many bending down. SYMPTOMS. Pains. —Thoso which afilict the back are tho most insidious or subtle. Thoy come at times without warning. We rise from a sittimj posture to find the back co crippled, or strained, as to cause acute euilering. TREATMENT. Cure.—Rub tho parts afflicted freely with ST. JACOBS OIL. Rub hard and vigorously, producing warmth, and if the pain is slow in yielding wrap tho parts in flannel steeped in hot water and wrung out.
