Confusion as to the choice of blood purifier is unnecessary. There is but one best Sarsaparilla, and that is Ayers. This important fact was rec ognized at the Worlds Fair, Chicago, 1893, being the only blood-purifier ad- mitted Ito be placed on exhibition.

Constipation is usually a habit of the body induced by prolonged inattention to the calls of nature It is a condi- tion so perilous to the general health, that it should be relieved as speedily, but judiciously, as possible. People who have allowed themselves to be- come costive and irregular usually try to remedy the evil by the use of violent purgaMves, and the result is that the bowels become weakened and the dis order all the more difficult of cure. The medicine best calculated to pro- duce natural movement and at the same time to strengthen the bowels, is

To remove the constipated habit, the only safe treatment is a course of Ayers Pills, followed by laxative diet. Most other cathartics do more harm than good, therefore leading physicians recommend Ayers Pills, es- pecially as family physic

! NOVEL EXCERPTS !

"The fiat of death Is inexorable. No
appeal lies for relief from the great law
which dooms us to dust. We flourish
and fade as the leaves of the forest,
and the flowers that bloom, wither and
fade in a day and have no Trailer hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations of men will appear
and disappear as the grass. and the null
titude that throngs the world today will
disappear as Footprints on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadows fall across their
own pathway. hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the antagonist of life, and th=
thought of the tomb Is the skeleton Of all
feasts. We do not want to go through
the dark valley, although its dark pass
age may lead to paradise; we do not
want to go down into damp graves even
with princes for bedfellows. In the
beautiful drama Ion. the hope of immor-
tality so eloquently uttered by the
death-devoted Greek, finds deep re-
sponse in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his life a sacrifice to fate,
his Clemanthe asks if they should meet
again; to which he responds: I have
asked that dreadful question of the hills
that look eternal-of the clear streams
that now forever-of stars among whose
nelds or azure my raised spirits have
walked in glory. All are dumb. But as
| gaze upon thy living face, feel that
there Is something in love that martles
through its beauty that cannot wholly
perish. We shall meet again, Cleman-

become very much worn. The bullion

told him that he world put in q new

was accepted. The wood for the new
floor: and the labor for laying it cost
