DR.. S. b. Hartman, Columbus, o.:
81 can scarcely find words to express
my gratitude to you for all your kind
ness to me. We have used Pe-ru-na in
our family for the past year and find it
o wonderful medicine. It has robbed
the grave of one victim, for l was in a
critical condition when 1 wrote you be-
fore. Thanks to you, however, my health
is fully restored and am better than ]
have been for five years. I cannot say
too much in favor of your medicines. If
you can use any words of mine to assist
you in your work will only be too glad.
I,wish every young lady in our town
could read your book. There would be
a great deal less sickness and puny
women."-Miss Bertha e. Sargent.

''It is a pirate ship" quoth he.
Come, comrades. up, and put to sea!

Then he a signal whistle blew
And summoned Towser for his crew;
And though all sails the pirates spread
And fast before the wind they fed,
The bold pursuers rain of lead
Soon laid the crew of pirates dead.
And yet, with treasures well supplied,
Still is the boy dissatisfied.

OW the time had come to show
whether the magician, Al Ar
saf, he'd guessed the secret of
that dream in which he had
found that he was to cause the
death of the giants and that he
was to rule in the land forever,
holding it as his own. You
know that the magician, when
he caused the poppies TO grow,
thought that thereby he would
keep Abraminidin, the giant,
who was the rightful owner Of
the castle of Al Kabo, from
coming back to his home. But
his plan had failed in this, for
after the sword of light had
swept a path clear Of the pop
pies, so that Prince I-Don't-
Care and Bloodfillikin were
able to make their way safely
to the castle, Abraminidin and
his brother, the giant HARDEST,
had no trouble in passing over
the same path-and here they
were. AL Araaf was surprised
when he saw the giants, but he
