The Health Lift.

Read what DR.. Ludwig says of the HEALTH
Lift exercise: "To person engaged in seden-
tary pursuits, the constant use Of the Health
Lift will prove great blessing. Unlike all
other physical exercises, it does not exagger-
ate the strength Of one part of the body at the
expense of the other parts, but it brings every
muscle into prompt service at the same mo-
ment, causing healthy action and a renewed
and lively circulation of the blood. OF its
merits can speak from personal experience,
having practiced on the Health Lift about
eight months Commencing with lifting 1870
pounds, which was full lift for me at that
time, at the end Of the eight months could
lift $40 pounds with as much ease as I could
lift 100 pounds at the commencement. 1
cheerfully recommend the use of the Health
Lift. Mann's Reactionary Litter is the only
reliable machine for exercise.

Anxious to recover her prop erty she got the handkerchief which proved to be the one she had lost. She complained to Omcer Ahearn and he caused the immed- iste arrest of the two women, who proved to be Annie Collins and Mary Ann Maxwell, women of low repute and well known in police circles. In the pocketbook of the Maxwell woman was found the gold ring

He placed her in 8 chair and gallant DoormRn Moore hastened for some water. The young lady seemed troubled about the region of the heart and it was with great difficulty that she from her fainting fit. She was unable to walk without support and left the office leaning upon Officer Ahearn's arm. :4.
