A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

When father writes that yours lis the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms
"Dr. Ayers Sarsapari1la is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged
to remain in dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."
The thousands Of testimonials to the
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over a gain, in one form or another
the expression: "The doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
give her DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her"
1t is a common experience to try DR..
Ayers Sarsaparil1a as last resort. 1t is

a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by physician.
1t is common experience to see COM
plete cure" follow the use of few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood. re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complex ion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. 1t
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. It makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the brok en-
down constitution-not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

Periods of Road BUILDING

In an interesting article on "Anci.nt
and Modern Highways" by c. L. Whit
tie. in the New England Magazine, the
writer divides the history of road build
ing. as affected by various uses, into
three periods: First, during the reign
of the Egyptian and Assyrian kings:
second, beginning with the rise of
Carthage. and continuing through the
rise and fall of the Roman empire.
three. beginning in France, with the
roads conceived by Napoleon and exc
cuted by Tresaguet;" then by McAdam
and Telford in England, afterwards on
the continent, and now in the United
States.

Solid Roads the Cheanest.

Good reads as "a creation of man ana
a type of civilized society" is a theme
much dwelt upon, and has not even vet
received all the consideration it de
serves. But it is we'll to remember hat
time is required to build permanent
highways, and that such conditions as
are found in some foreign countries can
only be realized here after generations
have worked along some clear line OF
improvement for many years. Solid
substantial roads are the cheapest in
the end, but they cost great deal Of
money. 1t is injudicious and wasteful
to attempt the best and then do it in a
shoddv manner. Better. far, do less and
do it thoroughly. A. W. Bulletin.
