How HE FOOLED HER. - He was an
awful mean man. He carried a fifty
dollar counterfeit bill TO make show of
it sometimes when figuring for sin
gle drink or something like. His poor,
hard-worlling wife had been begging MIN
for a nice gold chain she had seen in a
shop window down town. One day he
felt in a merry mood, gave her the coun-
terfeit bill and told her to buy the chain.
Then he left home in such merry mood
and laughing SO hard that he had to go
and take drink TO wet it down. He
may have taken several. He went home
feeling full of jokes. 1t appeared to be
the happiest day Of his life. He had
made fool Of the old woman. But the
old woman wore that gold chain at the
dinner table, and called the brute her
dear old darling" This put another
face on the whole affair. 1t had ceased
to be joke for him. The jeweler called
after dinner, and handing him the base
note, told him to "shell out" fifty dollars
if he wished to escape annoyance. He
shelled out, and has never been able t.
see the point of his joke. But the poor
woman enjoyed it.

EN Has been widely used during
Ri I'D the last twenty-five years in the
Ed&/ treatment Of these distressing
E5 EI jdiseases, and with such unva-
szz~ rying success that it has gained
~ the reputation of being infal
lible. The shakes, or chills, once broken by
it, do not return until the disease is contracted
again. This has made it an accepted remedy,
and trusted specific, for the Fever and Ague
of tho West, and the Chills and Fevers of the
South.
Ayers Ague Cure eradicates the noxious
poison from the system, and leaves the patient
as well as before the attack. 1t thoroughly
expcls the disease, 50 that no Liver Complaint,
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery or Debil-
ity follow tho cure. Indeed, where Disorders
of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from
Miasmatic Poison, it removes the cause of
chem and they disappear. Not only is it an
etiectual cure, but, if taken occasionally by
patients exposed to malaria, it will expel the
poison and protect them from attack. Travel
ers and temporary residents in Fever and
Ague localities are thus enabled to defy the
disease. The General Debility which is so apt
to ensue from continued exposure to malaria
and miasm, has no speedier remedy.
For Liver Complaint it isan excellent
remedy. q

almost as soldly for II as the Democrats did.
