Sea Bathing for p,sbetic Patient.

Another very delicate question arises
that of deciding whether. yes or no,
we can recommend sea bathing to dia-
bette patients. As general thing sea
baths are useful, but only as an auxili-
airy means, in diabetic patients who,
though little exhausted, are still capa-
BILE of reacting vigorously, and fol
whom we have specially in view q

Canaulan Farmers, having BEEN tTou.

steps toward Kidding themselves Of

more efrectual service would be done if
the dogs were capable of greater speed.

the desired fleetness Mr. Dan Gordon, o,

then, he asks, should Congress ex-

tends, be fair to the farmers of the
other sections Of the country, at a
poriod when land is constantly de-
preciating in value and when crops
at the West are almost rotting on

for the government to spend large

Three-fourths of our people are
troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has
depressing influence on the mind or
body, preventing them from thinking
or acting clearly in any matter of i'm
portance. Indigestion, coming up of
food after eating, dyspepsia, sick head
ache, acidity of the stomach or any
arrangement of the stomach or liver
upon which the whole action of our
system depends) are speedily and ef-
fectually overcome by the use of

stubborn cases have yielded to it's in

How to Care for Finger Nails.
A wretched homely hand can be
made attractive by finger nails that
show the attention of the manicure,
whether the m~anicuring is done by
a professional or attended to by
ones self. The finger nail should
be filed into shape-never cut, az
the knife or scissors make the nail
brittle. Then soak the nails in
warm water for a few minutes.
Give them a good scrubbing with
soap and stiff hand brush. Then
with a little powder and polisher
a gloss can be gwen them. This
attention daily, with a visit to a
manicure once a week, will keep
the nails in perfect condition and
whisper at all times of an innate
refinement.

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle Of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without: That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store. pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results -you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tie -wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription produces health
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store.
