does indeed work like a charm. Six years ago
mother had q fall which came very near sulting

injuries, especially in her spine and left arm

ping a change of climate might be beneficial, the
spring of the second year after her fall she went to
tea y. y, to visit some relatives. While there
she obtained and used some of your Magic Oil; it
relieved her almost nnmediatel'. so much 50 tn
she came home very much improved in health and
strength, and by the free use OF the Magic OH she
is now enjoying better health than she has known
for ten years, and has recovered entirely from her
injuries. Mother has so much confidence in your
Magic Oil that she Will not be without it,
Respectfully yours, JOSEPH E. DIXsoN.

Vain aud IEurtful Imrginings

The Journal of Health says: To
regain or recover health persons
should be relieved from all, anxiety
concerning diseases. Thssmipd has
power over the body, For person

produce that disease. This we see
effected when the mind is intensely
concentrated upon the disease Of an
other. 1t is found in the hospitals
that surgeons and physicians who
make speciality of certain diseases
are liable to die of it themselves, and
the mental power is so great some
times people die of diseases which
they only have in Imagination, We
have seen person scasick in antici-
patton of voyage before reaching
the vessel. We have known a per-
son to die of cancer in the stomach
when he had no cancer or any mortal
disease. A blindiolded man, slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and
died from the believing that he was
bleeding to death. Therefore, well
persons, to remain well, should have
their attention drawn as much as pos
sible from themselves. 1t is by their
faith then men did, If he wills not
to die he can of often live in spite of
diseases, and if he has little or no at
tachment to life he will slip away as
easily as u child win fall asleep
Men live by their bodies. Their
bodies have nolifc of themselves, they
are only resources of lifc-tencments
of their souls. The will has much to
do in continuing the physical occu-
patton or giving it up.

Do the people realize The beinous.
ness. of the crimes charged against
Orville L. BabcOck? This man, the
Military Secretary and bosom friend
of the President of the United States.
1t is charged against him that from
the White House itself he engineer
ed a gigantic system of public pl1n-
der, and devised methods to enable
the corrupt officials, associated with
him in the conspiracy, to use their
place of trust for purposes of robbery.
Never in the history of the country
has a person so near to the President,
and so actively sustained by him in
all his undertakings, been tainted
with so infamous a charge.

How 10 Get Rich.

A merchant had Just as well ex-
pcct to get rich by closing his doors
and keeping his goods concealed from
public view, as to hope to succeed in
business without advertising, while
his contemporaries are continually
exhibiting their stocks to the public
gaze and inviting calls from purchas-
ers. 1t is just as natural for the sub
scribers of newspapers TO buy from
those who advertise in it as it is for
children to follow soldiers when on
parade. The simple fact of seeing
certain goods published, morning af,
ter morning, has an irresistible at
traction that will fastcn itself upon
the mind, and never fails to guide
each reader to the very store at which
his or her wants can be at once sup
piled. Every merchant of common
sense knows it to be so;andyet many
of them fail to resort to the very
method to make sales which is used
to induce them to make purchases
