THE GREATEST OF ALL GIFTS.

There is no gift to be compared with
health. None realize this like the sufferer
from some chronic or long-standing dis
ease. To such the gift of renewed health
is priceless. And yet it is within the
reach of oil such sufferers. The great
specialist in the cure of all forms of nerv-
Gus and chronic diseases, DIR. Greene, "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, famous the
world over for his wonderful cures, has
decided to give consultation and advice
hereafter free. Remember, sufferer, that
you can write him a description of your
case and he will return carefully con-
sidered letter, fully explaining your dis
ease, giving advice ETC., without charge
of any kind. Write today and health will
be yours.

fastened upon any subject that interested
him.
Nearly every man has it in his power to
live to green old age like the great states
man of England It is simply a matter of
little daily thought and regard for health.
If, when a man feels that he is little out
of sorts, he will resort to the right remedy,
he will never have to submit to the more
serious ills of life. Most men, when they
have headache, feel drowsy during the
day and are restless during the night, and
find their appetite falling off, pay little or
no heed to these warnings. The inevitable
result is some dangerous and possibly fatal
nalady. The doctor may call it consump-
ton, malaria or biliousness, or perhaps
some blood or skin disease It makes Kat
little difference. These troubles all have
their inception in the same cause - I'M

nation. Besides various pieces OF sacred
music there were admirably rendered the
terzetto of the Conte Dry by tenor
soprano and contralto, the Prayer or
Moses " it'll chorus and the famous duo OF
the Semiramide.

feet method and for the power of their
voices were Misses Emerson, Mackey and

Medical books are not always interest
ing reading, especially to people enjoying
rood health, but as a matter of fact
scarcely one person in ten is perfectly
healthy, and even with such, sooner OF

1t is also a well established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate with
a breaking down of the digestion, a weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system, making It easy for disea ST. to
gain foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kidney
disease, liver trouble or weak heart and
nervous system as siong as the digestion is
good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
