12-ycar-old son, n boy Of great
ut but with no overnbundancc Of
Hrength, went to pass vacation with
"a cousin who lived on the banks of a
broad river His father, in his parting
Instructions, placed one restriction upon
the boys amuscmcnts during his visit.
Il don't want you TO go out In your
cousins canoe" he said firmly. "They
are used to the water, but you are
not, and you haven't learned to sit still
anywhere, as yet. You'll be there only
week, and with all the other amuse-
ments the boys have, and the horses
and dogs, you can afford to let the canoe
alone for this time, and keep your
mother from worrying all the while
you're away"
The boy readily gave the desired
promise. On his return he was enthu-
siastic over the pleasures he had en-
joyed.
And l didn't mind canoeing n bit,
pa" he said, addressing his careful
parent with beaming smile. "The
boys taught me how to swim, and the
only time they used the canoe was the
last day TO go over TO the other sho.e.
But remembered my promise, and
wasn't going to break 1t the last day.

A. gentleman OF methodical hobit,
who had adopted tho practice OF re-
tanning a copy Of every prescription
issued by his family physician,
became Interested as time went on to
note that the same Ingredients were
pretty certain to be prescribed at
some point OF the treatment Of every
,,se. For poor appetite, or sore
Throat, for restlessness which dis
turbed the baby's sleep, and for
troubles which beset the aged grand
parents, tho favorite remedy was
always turning up, although slightly
modified from time to time and used
often in conjunction with others.
One day our frlond happened to OBJ
serve that the formula Of certain
advertised remedy was identical
with the latest prescription he had
received from his own physician,
and In some surprise he stated the
case 10 him. The family doctor,
after listening to what he had to say,
replied: "The case Is about this
way. Whenever there Is disturb
ance Of the functions Of the body,
no matter Of what nature, It Is pref
ty certain to be accompanied bys
derangement Of the digestive organs.
When they are all right the patient
gets we'll. That particular formula
that you have observed me to write
more aud more frequently is the
result Of an ago OF careful experi-
nent, and Is pretty generally agreed
upon now by oil educated physicians
who keep up with the times. The

living ever treated so many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert

she has gained the very knowledge

She is glad to have you write or call

full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so, and there are nine

you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never In the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
