The Daily News of Munich tells story
illustrative of the qxeer freaks Of the late
mad king of Bavaria. He had an excel
lent valet de chambre, whose services he
praised greatly, but who one day com
mitted some petty fault that threw the
quick tempered monarch into such q
tempest of fury that he beat him with his
fists and said: "Get out! do not want
ever to see your face again. The man
went as rapidly as he ccald. Then the
king had succession of Wallets, each one
of whom seemed worse, more stupid, and
incompetent than his predecessor, until
the king was frantic all the time. The
Baron Schneider, chief of the palace,
urged him to take his old valet back
again, but he refused on the ground that
his dignity would not permit him to do
So when he had said he wished never to
see the mans face again. Then the baron
had happy idea. VERY well, your
majesty he said, you need not see his
face again We win make blackamooE
Of him. To that the king assented
cheerfuily, and thereafter until his
death, he was faithfully served by an ap-
parent negro, who was, however, in real
fty native of Munich, his old white
valet.-New York Sun.

I'll Saved My Life"

Is a common expression, often heard
from those who have realized, by per-
sonal use, the curative powers of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. "%Icannot say enough
in praise of Ayers Cherry Pectoral, be-
heving as I do that, but for its use, l
should long since have died from lung
troubles. -E. Bragdon, Palestine, Tex.
About six months ago I had a severe
Hemorrhage of the Lungs, brought on
by distressing Cough, which deprived
me of sleep and rest. l had used vari-
GUS cough balsams and expectorants,
without obtaining relief. A friend ad-
vised me to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
L did so, and am happy to say that it
helped me at once. BY continued use
this medicine cured my cough, and,
am satisfied, saved my life. Mrs. Il.

1 have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
for over a year, and sincerely believe l
should have been in my grave, had it
not been for this medicine. 1t has cured
me of dangerous affection of the lungs,
for which had almost despaired of ever
finding a remedy.-D. A. MeMullen,
Windsor, Province Of Ontario.
Ayers Cherry Pectoral saved my life.
Two Fears ago 1 took very severe Cold
which settled on my lungs. 1 Ieonsulted
physicians, and took the remedies they

completely restored my health. - Lizzie
