Somewhat removed from the city of Prov.

care for the old and the infirm who are
unable to care for themselves.
Mother Aurclia presides over this we'll.
known institution, and with her associates
ministers TO the wants of over two hundred
old people, women and men. An important
feature Of the Home is a well-appointcd
pharmacy in charge OF one of the sisters
Their chief remedy is good old Pain iler,
which most of the old folks used when they
were children and which now cures the pains
and aches incidental TO their declining years.
As is to be expected, the aged inmates Of
the Home are in constant need of medical
attention, although, 30 carefully are they
tended. few are rarely sick enough to be in
the hospital wing ct any one time. But all
of them are subject TO the many disabilities
of old age, and so Pain Killer has come
TO be remedy of almost daily use.
Mother Aurelia saws that Pain-killer has
quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions
for use among the old people. When the
limbs twitch with rheumatism the fair
sister in charge ofthe pharmacy gives them
q massage with pure Pain-killer. When
the old men and old women suffer from
their many stomach troubles, little Pain.
Killer with water and sugar offers certain
and quick relief When the venerable
heads are racked with pain. Pain-Killcr is
again put TO service promptly. The old
people love il and rely upon it. They ties.
tify that its use externally is quickl efiica-
cious.. and internally, is unaccompanied BY
any after i'll eiiects-which, at their age,

PersOnally-COntluctcd Tours to

RailrOad.

Undoubtedly one OF the most origi-
nal and highly satisfactory creations
of the Pennsylvania Railroad is the
inauguration OF personally-conducted
tours under the supervision and di-
reciion of Tourist Agent and Chaper-
on. and the marked sncces, and popu-
larity of the tours to Florida are due
to several causes; the complete ap-
pointment Of the special trains, the
liberality of the rate and the return

that have attracted the travelling pub

to jacksonville. allowing two weeks

rate, including transportation, meals
