Carriage.—Why so many deviate from a graceful carriage may be accounted for in as many ways as thero are misshapen beings. MUSCULAR WEAKNESS. Lame Back,—The spinal column is the mainstay of tbe body, which stiffens up the straight man or woman, and nature has provided muscular supports to hold it erect. TWISTED OUT OF SHAPE. Distortions.—Men and women recklessly twist themselves out of shape, and the result is the few standing straight and the many bending down. SYMPTOMS. Pains.—Those which afflict the back are the most insidious or subtle. They come at times without warning. We rise from a sitting posture to find the back so crippled, or strained, a 8 to cause acute suffering. TREATMENT. Cure.—Rub the parts afflicted freely with ST. JACOBS OIL. Rub hard and vigorously, producing warmth, and if the pain is slow in yielding wrap the parts in flannel steeped in hot water and wrung out.
