A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE,
ANINTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
wOmanhood. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter, Blanche, now 10 years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. yin fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but 70 pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs 1O6 pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. NituS dance are entirely gone she
attends school regularly, and studies with com
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid and no
money could procure for our daughter the health
Dr. Miles Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy
] had no faith in patent medicines and would
not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent rs
a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate. Mrs. r. r.

u,trerent Ways of Putting 1t.

This is scientific way: 'If a man
falls asleep in the sitting posture with
his mouth open, his jaw drops; the
tongue not being in contact with the
hard palate, the succotorial space is
obliterated; the soft palate no longer
adheres to the roof of the tongue,
and if respiration be carried on
through the mouth the muscular cur
tain begins to vibrate" And this is
the popular form, IF man doesn't
keep his mouth shut when asleep, he
will snore. London Tit-Bits.
