One Way to Dry Wet Shoes,

When, without overshoes, you have been caught ill a heavy rainstorm, per haps you have known already what to do with your best kid boots, which have been thoroughly wet through, and which, if left to dry in the ordinary way, will be stiff, brittle and unlovely. If not, you will be glad to learn what I heard recently from one whose experience is of value, writes a correspondent of Har- per's Bazar.
 First wipe off gently with soft cloth all surface water and mud; then, while still wet, rub well with kerosene oil, using for the purpose the furred side of canton flannel. Set them aside till par tially dry, when a second treatment with oil is advisable They may then be de- posted in conveniently warm place, where they will dry gradually and thor oughly. Before applying French kid dressing, give them a final rubbing with the flannel, still slightly dampened with kerosene, and your boots will be soft and flexible as new kid and be very lit tie affected by their bath in the rain.
 In following these directions it need hardly be added that, kerosene being in fammable, one wants to keep away from the fire while treating the shoes with it.

I changed doctors and found no relief My friends advised me to try Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and after using four bottles I experienced great change. l am now entirely cured and am anxious to recom- mend this valuable medicine 10 everyone suffering from similar complaints. I hope it will do as much good to others as it has to me-"
 What more beautiful interpretation of our beloved poets remark. than to be suddenly restored. after long suffering from pain, to life of happiness and use fitness.
 Have not all cause to thank Dr Greene who gave to the world this fountain of hope and health
 Why indeed should we suffer with such a remedy at our command?
 If you are sick with any form of nervous or blood disease, indigestion, dyspepsia, kidney or liver complaint, take this givel of health, Dr Grcene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Take it when the first symptoms appear. If the disease is advanced delay no longer. It is purely vegetable and harmless. It is not a patent medicine but one which the doctor has employed in his practice for years.
