But what reasonable ground of complaint, let me ask, have the people, themselves, in this matter?

Of the appalling results of the prevailing medical system, recognized as it is by the law of the land and supported and virtually endorsed by the people’s own will and prejudices, they themselves, though well aware, are yet complacent.  But, mark it well, not until independent medicine shall be accorded reasonable recognition, a fair field and general fair play, and the chance afforded to science outside the “orthodox” medical clique to inaugurate some drastic measures of urgently needed reform, not until then will it be possible to alter this disastrous state of affairs—­not until then will matters become less unbearable to the individual and less discreditable to every one concerned. We can cure disease only by removing its cause; this is my maxim and it is true for all time.

Much of neurasthenia is due to the degenerate times in which we are now living.  Causes must be removed in every line of life, political, social, and economical, before normal physical and mental conditions can be restored.  Then neurasthenia, in all its forms, will be a disease of the past, but not before—­not withstanding the frequent alleged discoveries of serums and antidotes of wonder-working properties so triumphantly heralded from the “Halls of Science.”

(d). Dose:  Twice daily, 1 gram or one-fourth heaping teaspoonful or, it in tablet form, 1 tablet, dry or with a little water or in foodstuffs; to be taken at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or as specially directed.

DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No.  IV. 
OSSEOGEN (BONE CELL PRODUCER).

(a).  If I tell you that it takes seven different compositions of organic lime to make perfect bones, some people, even very learned ones, may doubt my word.  But biology and physiological chemistry teach that this is so—­and prove it.  If this composition were lacking in a certain quantity of organic magnesia, the bones would grow hard and brittle.  It is the magnesia that turns the tissue into perfect, elastic form.

(b).  Osseogen is the composition the constituents of which are necessary to generate perfect bone tissue.  How many troubles could easily be prevented by using this cell-food in time!

(c).  This composition becomes an absolute essential in all cases of imperfect bone structure, such as rachitis, or rickets, constitutional disease of children, osteomalacia, tuberculosis of the bones, deformity of bone structure, such as curvature of the spine, etc.

Softening of the bones, known as osteomalacia, curvature of the spine, rachitis and many other terrible conditions of disease would not be known to humanity if proper precaution were taken in time.

Hundreds of patients are today cured by my method of supplying this lacking constituent in a form assimilable to even the smallest infant.
