The Gift of Healing.
jThe gift of healing scrofula and similar
iseases, claimed for centuries by our
lasted, as we know, to the age of
fslon | en Anne, and the service used on the

myer Book printed in her reign. That
ary sacred king, Charles II—if we may
flieve lirgeons-performed an eye witness, one hundreds of his own of
many
ires, and is said to have touched in
^nty-one years upward of 92,000 suf
?rers. “God give you better health and
lore sense,” was the benediction of Will
SuadeTtotouch^ KSl
vM though the belief in the virtue of the
)yal touch was a silly superstition, it
as not, as Macaulay terms it, an im
fsture, since patients were often cured
leer fyal touch in cases of scrofula causing a
flow of blood to the part affected.

dry and hot at times; the blood

of these symptoms are in tun
present. It is thought tliai
nearly one-third of our popu¬
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It lias been found that phy¬

of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc.,
etc., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is reall\

constipation and dyspepsia. Ex¬ I i
is also found that Shaker
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei

properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN

TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley Co., Mo., writes that
she had been long adiicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
of the same place, who sold
Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for four years
and never knew it to fail.
SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD
I was so low with dyspep¬
sia that there was not a could phy¬
sician to lie found who
do anything with me. I had
fluttering of the heart and
swimming of the head. One
day I read your pamphlet called

better than I could Extract myself. of I
tried the Shaker
Roots and kept on with it until
to-day I rejoice in good health.
