DIR. WlLLARD,S HOME.

DIR. Wizards new advertisement of his
"Nervine Home" found in this week :
issue, as well as to the following APP
preciative notice of this institution which
we take from the Burlington Clipper of
Aug. %;
DIR. WILLARD's RETURN FROM CALIFOR-
MA.
DR.. \. j. Willard, the popular propri-
tor of the now Justly celebrated "Rest
Cure" of this city. whose pleasant
Home" on the college Hill has long
been one of Burlngton's finest attrac-
tions, has recently returned from an eX-
tended vacation spent in California and
his friends are pleased TO see him IN such
excellent health and spirits. When he
left Burlington last spring he was sadly
run down" by years of continuous care
of the sick, first at "l'he Mary Fletcher
and afterwards at his private Nervine
Sanitarium. He is now apparently we'll.
California climate has done wonders for
him evidently while he has been taking
for several months that entire rest with
which he has been wont professionally
to treat his patients. Those who have
had the pleasure of meeting with DR..
Willard since his return nome express
great surprise at the wonderful change
which has taken place in him. Always
genial, he is now almost "jolly" and
actually apologies to his friends for his
excessive eXuberance. But they readi-
w forgive him while they listen with
genuine interest to his graphic account
of his personal experiences in health
seeking and railroad striking. As to the
former, any of our readers intending to
visit southern California next winter
for their health would do well to see
DIR. Willard before starting, for he can
give them some valuable information as
to what to do and what not to do while
there, where to go and where not to go.
He says that many invalids and their
friends make a great mistake by starting
of not knowing what they are about to
undertake. only that they are going to
California"
DR.. Wizards efficient assistant, Mr..
Albert +. willard, took the opportunity
afforded by the doctors absence to make
some improvements, repairs and addl-
tiOns at The Nervine" which cannot
fail to render more attractive and COM
modious that previously almost perfect
ly appointed building. The recent ad-
diton to the grounds of the "Crooller
lot makes the extension westward
much more ample than formerly and
secures an always uninterrupted lake
and mountain view in that direction.
Moreover, DR.. Wizards re-estahlished
health and renewed physical vigOr would
seem to indicate that the norYOusly
afflicted can now feel more sure than
ever before that the Willard Nervine
Home will afford for them rest-glving
and health-giving refuge.

Do we Inherit the Earth Only,

The New York Daily Press opens
its columns to brief discussions con-
troverted religious subjects. A wri-
ter in Saturdays issue discusses the
above question in this wise:
There being no direct statement
that the righteous will go to heaven,
ought we not, therefore, accept Tie
following testimony: "Behold, the
righteous shall he recompensed in the
earth. Prov ri 81 "Blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth, Matt. ", 5. "For evildoer>
shall he cut off /; hut those that wait
upon the Lord, they shall inherit the

Home and Abroad.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether at
home or travelling for pleasure or bust
ness, to equip himself with remedies
which will keep up strength and prevent
illness. and cure such ills as are liable to
come upon all in everyday life. For in
stance, Hoods Sarsaparilla as a general
tonic, and to keep the blood pure and less
liable to absorb the germs of disease,
will be well nigh invaluable. Change of
drinking water often causes serious
trouble, especially if one has been used to
spring water in the country. From few
drops to teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla in tumbl of water will prevent
the water having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as cathartic,
cause no discomfort, no distur-
bance, no loss OF sslesp, but assist the
digestive organs, so that satisfactory re-
suits are effected in a perfectly natural
and regular manner.
