Pills


Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
fitful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach is spurred by ''bitters," and alco-
holc stimulants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

Labor was very cheap then. and
when anybody applied Col. Young's 3
Office for employment he was set to
work blasting rocks at Sunset and
Locust Grove. Gradually the two
farms assumed the regularity of sur

But the beauty of the Sunset
Farm u the scenery. The farm
house is upon the very Top of the
hill, and an observatory has been
built upon the roof Simon Cameron
thinks it 6ne of the prettiest spots
on earth, and he has frequently
spent hours in the observatory en-
joying the beautiful sights. At the
base runs the sparkling river, wide
and shallow and filled with Jagged
rocks, with q background or high
hill ou the other side. Far off to
the right are Blue Hills, and beneath

carpet Of bright green. Six coun-
ties are visible from the high perch.

law that the laborers were justified IN ac-
