Cures Others

VIII cure You, is a true statement of the
action of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood but, while this assertion is true Of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations. which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as Gust as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need a blood-purifier
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed a reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by otherprcparatlons. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence of the people.

~ divest the operation OF some OF the
mystery which has heretofore en-
vcloped L. According 10 this gentle

tended along the barrel, 50 that IL

No matter whether the gun j. oil a

the end Of the muxzie Of the weapon,
II the finger should happen 20 be
longer than the pistol barrel. other
wise unenjoyable happenings might
ensue. That this method Is theorttic-
ally correct may be proved by an easy
experiment. Point your finger At an
object, At the same time keeping your
hand on level with your breast and
the direction of the finger not in line
with the eye and tho object aimed at.
Then lower yonr head until you can
sight along your finger and you will
hni that the digit points exactly at
the object. From unconscious Irac-
tice in conversation persons acquire
the trick OF pointing accurately with
the index finger. and il is that in
stinctive habit which Is taken advan-
tage of.
The beauty OF this method lies in the
fact that no time need DC lost In get
ting the pistol from the hip pocket up
20 the level Of the eye. The maxim
He gives twice who gives quickly is
applicable to getting gun into ae ton.
The shooting OF birds on the wing Is
done more by the instinct Of long
practice than by the direct use of the
eye. But n baseball pitcher never en-
ploys thcodolitc 10 locate the plate.
and a quarterback frequently passes
the ball To n runner when both are
running at full speed in different di-
rections, without the use of speed
counter. These gentry do not even

by the employment of the index finger
method the general standard or ac-
curacy in pistol shooting might be con-
