Vol. *T — Treatment of Disease Every year thousands of people die of bronchitis, pneumonia, kidney trouble, respiratory disease, influenza, and intestinal trouble. Barring accidents and suicides, only a small percentage of these thousands should die. Thousands upon thousands of people to-day are actually starving themselves to death.

The occasional headache, that tired exhausted feeling, loss of appetite, a casual cold or other slight disarrangements. We are unable to interpret the most simple of nature's warnings because we are unfamiliar with our own bodies. COUPON FOR FREE BOOKLETS GORDON & GOTCH (A'SIA.) LID. (Inc.
