A Mystery Explained.

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent the
summer among the White Mountains in search of
health, and who seems to have searched the whole
mountain side without being able to find pair of
blooming cheeks or an inch of healthful skin :
Mrs. White, who has remained ut home because
her husband could not afford to go, but whose
fresh complexion and bright eyes seem to have
caught their bloom and brightness from mountain
breeZes.
Mrs. B.-Dear me, Mrs White, how we'll you are
looking! If you will not think me impairment,
let me ask how you can keep so healthy in this
dreadful city, have been to the White Noun
tains, go there every summer, in fact, and can't
keep Off the doctors list Mt that.
Mrs. w. (smling.).I'll tell you the whole secret,
Mrs. Brown. You remember how poorly / was
last spring, some days even being confined to my
bed. Dr. told Mr.. White to send me to the
mountains, but knew he couldn't afford it, and
l tried DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its
effects were so marvellous that | also tried his
Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse my system.
In my opinion, one bottle of the Prescription and

stopped at DIR. .Pierce's Ipvalids' and Tourists

treating patients were alone worth going to see,--
Besides, our accommodations were better than we
had at Long Branch last year, and the drives and
scenery are superb Let me advise you to use DIR.
