The Wedding Finger.

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol Of their wedding vow
know why they wear it on the third
finger Of the left hand? That PARTICULAR
digit was chosen because it was believed
by the Egyptians to be connected by a
slender nerve with the heart itself. And
these ancient worshipers of Isis held
this finger sacred to Apollo and the sun,
and therefore gold was the metal chosen
for the ring.-Detroit Free Press.

himself in Aurora, ILL.,. near Chicago, and is
there manufacturing and putting upon the
market proprietary medicine. This he is

they have no doubt shortened life which
