Daisy Proposals.

Proposals of marriage have, no doubt,
been occasionally made in the language
of lowers. The practice has never been
common, because, in the first place, the
language in question is in a somewhat

among the learned, and, secondly, be-
cause the recipients of the offer might
very reasonably object to It's unoommit-

An inventive genius has now copied ma

any little sore or scratch, which does
not readily heal, be given prompt atten-

Mr.. Robert Smed1ey, of Ocaia, Fla,

local remedies, but they had no effect,
and I then consulted a physician. When

"I received the best medical atten-

The alarming increase la the number
of deaths which occur as the result of q

such methods of treatment is fast de-

case where the deetoFs' treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-
eide at once that an operation must be
performed, and the keen blade Of the
surgeon Is recklessly resorted to,
The many caustic plasters which are
applied to remove cancers are more pain

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a com
muDity of simple, honest, God-fearinp
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years.
and it is always the same, simple. honest,
curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long-lived
people that they are. The Shakers never
have Indigestion. This is partly owing
to their simple mode of life, partly to the
wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial supplies what's wanting. Shake r
Digestive Cordial invigorates the stom-
ach and all its glands so that after awhile
they don't need help. As evidence of the

save his passengers. stuck to his place,
and when he was found dead in the To-
connective, which was found upside down,
he was found still smiling, his hand on

just as much of a hero in the same

Of vicarious sufferings - illustrations

our struggles and died our death.
