SAVED MY LIFE"

81 spAr up blood and had hemorrhages
and terrible cough that racked my
whole frame. My sleep was broken by
spells OF coughing and my chest was
sore and ached. My throat felt raw
and had stringy mucus constantly fall
ing into it. Ny appetite was very
poor and the sight OF food sometimes
made me sick atethe stomach. 1 lost
flesh and strength every day and had
become very weak and miserable and
was sure l had consumption. When
called at the Curtis Medical Institute
for examination l could hardly believe
the statement that my case was ca
tarrh and that l could be cured but
such has been the truth. l am now
entirely cured Of the cough and splitting
OF blood, have an excellent appetite,
sleep soundly, feel strong and hearty
lungs seem entirely healed. In fact,
can't begin to tell half the good that has
been done me. l heartily recommend
the Curtis treatment to any who suffer
as did. | certainly think it saved nv
life, as l had no idea a few months
ago that would BE- living now. MRS

PREPARE THE CHILD FOE SCHOOL.

PREPARE THE CHILD FOR SCHOOL.
The public schools open Monday and
the authorities have provided for in
creased and comfortable accom- M cd alton
for the pupils. Parents owe it to their
children that they do not delay in pre-
pairing them to enter upon a course of
education.
Entirely too many mothers put of
until "to- morrow" the arrangements
necessary. Then they wonder WHY
their child, whom they consider brighter
and more intellectual than their neigh
boris, should receive only certificate Of
commendation instead OF medal.
Let those mothers remember thell
own childhood. How difficult is it for 8
child to enter class week or two late
and attempt to catch up"
