The ls96-9T catalogue of the Univer-

chief educational Institution of the

more than doubled in the last four
years. and that the institution now
stands according to the rating by the
German Year Book OF the educational
world as one Of the eleven leading
American universities, and as one of
the five leading state universities.
That such rank should have already
been attained, with the limited finan-
cial support that the state has been
able to give It, argues condition of
excellence and enthusiasm in its man

should use every possible effort to

II he wants to be free, well man again
If dyspepsia and biliousuess or constipa-
ton is the way he got into disease he has
got 10 overcome just those troubles before
he can get out.
The majority of diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver, which prevents the supply of proper
nourishment to the system. The best
remedy for these troubles is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, because it gives
the digestive and blood making organs
power to assirnilate food and transform II
into pure, nourishing blood, vitalized with
an abundance of red corpuscles.
1t acts directly upon the liver and gives
It capacity to filter all bilious impurities
out of the circulation. 1t builds up solid,
muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force.
In obstinate constipation the Discov-
eryn should be used in conjunction with
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the most nat
ural and thoroughly scientific laxative ever
devised The Pellets" 4" regulate and in
vigorate the stomach, liver and bowels.
One is gentle laxative two act as mild
cathartic.

pepsia sick headache and costiveness," writes
Mr. Aionso d. Jameson, Of Dunbarton Merrimack
Co. N. H, we tried many doctors and many

purchased six bottles of your Golden Medical

Pellets has entirely restored my wife's health,

The portraiture of the scene described

wanted to reach street in the north
western part Of the city and was at
loss what route to take. He gallantly
helped her out of the crush, put her on
the right car and told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket, only to find it unoccupied. A
little profanity was followed by
chuckle, for the watch taken was

And We creep and peep to watch the SUI

II he's hiding and cloudy sky, a-glowering,

Has no streaming golden beaming for oui

Must our spirits dance together
And our faces must be sunny all day long,
For a. fresh highland heather
We can make the inside weather
When the outside seems TO be 50 very wrong
But If with the outdoor sunshine all the happy

And the trees are budding in the glad warm
light
And the arbutus il peeping from its brown
leaves tender keeping,
And the face Of day is fresh and sweet an0
bright,
Why, then, why not all together
Make our faces match the weather

For fragrant rs the heather
Is the charming outside weather,
And the inside cannot be 50 very wrong.
