A pretty room seen lately had stationary
bookshelves for its student owner running
in single rows about its walls. One row
began at each end of the chimney piece, on
a line with the mantel board and ran across
to the windows at one side and on the
other to a closet door. Each row turned
the corner without break. The shelves
were narrow slabs of wood, matching the
rest of the woodwork in the room. On the
lower shelf the books were placed, the up
per shelf holding bits Of china and bric-a-
brac. Across the wide space between the
windows the row swelled to the dimen-
sions of two Shelves dropping back again
to one shelf to finish its course. The effect
was very attractive, and as the room was
the workroom Of its owner, the limited
shelves held all that was needed in the
way of reference books.

over my head on a level with my hips, and could
sustain myself on my feet only by resting my

years have been sorey afflicted with kidney,
rheumatic and bladder difficulties, the latter of
which, of 5 years standing, has been helped by
DIR. Sweet amazingly; and, with al, have been
obliged to 60 about my work, where other men
would have given upin despair. had imagined
chat there'was no cure for me, and had about
given up all hope. After three weeks treat.

employ q cane, with marked improvement in
walking, and now after weeks treatment, /
have THROWN ASIDE MY STAFF AND WALK
ERECT. The kidneys have recovered in great
measure their function, while the bladder is
greatly improved. To sec me walking erect
again, after being SO long cripple, has created
more talk in Middleboro than raising the dead
to life. I am being congratulated on every
hand. You all know me. No one can conceive
how great is my gratitude and relief.
