Chauncey Depew says that the most
astonishing ana instructive sight that he
met in Europe wa the Passion Play at
Ober-Ammergau-such awonierful effect
dii that spectacle make upon this great
orator. 1t shows that we are most i'm
pressed BY the unusual AMI the unex-
pectei. Still something depends upon the
condition Of our health, for, when the mind
is not free. when it is hampered by painor
stupefied with malaria we are not able TO
enjoy ANYTHING. Travellers will find that
it is best to carry with them 4 mild Taxa
tive in order to guard against the changes
in food, climate. different drinking water
and the many things that cause disturb
ances Of the digestive organs. The best
thing for this purpose are the Laxative
Gum Drops. These gum drops contain
the finest Laxative in the world, put up in
the best gum drop material, in which form
they will stand any changes OF climate
without deteriorating. They contain no
taste Of medicine and the ordinary user
will not be conscious Of taking medicine
at all save by the result which IS sure and
pcertain. They come in two sizes, the small
size at ten cents, the large size at twenty
five cents. Get them Of any dealer.

this opinion. He bases his belief on the

OF coaches from Dundee, Perth, Ahroath
