OF the fine arts and is the most intimate
ly connected with tho amenities of daily
life. The music of a household may be
saidto be the measure Of It's happiness.
Proverbially the contented person is the
one who sings at his work. On the other
hand there are quite as strong maxims
against harping on one strirg or singing
forever the same old tune. And these
considerations taken together explain
the desirabilitv of large collection of
good music, both vocal and instrumental,
presented in form at once attractive
and popular.

Mountain Renovation is a wonoerful ally on
which we may depend for the RESTORATION OF
health and for the prevention OF disease and
DEATH He knows, as many others have learned
by sad experience, that nine tenths OF all our
ills NAV be directly attributed to impure blood,
no matter how these impurities got into the
blood.
No matter whether the blood has become
poisoued through contact with others suffering
from blood diseases, or whether II is a case
where these posons were inherited al tlnie OF
birth-to all who realize that they have blood
disorders. we recommend that no time should
be lost, as these diseases often slumber for
wears, and suddenly crop out in a manner that
| is q menace to health and life.
Not only that, but when blood diseases snow
| themselves, the sufferer becomes an object oil
| pity to every ons with whom he comes IN con-
tact as the nature of the disease will be written
plainly on his features
| Perhaps another fact that has led DR.. Hatch
| to so strongly recommend this remedy is tha'
| it was originally prescription of we'll
known physician, who over forty years age
| prescribed it, since which time 1t has beer

| And now, today, that it is being placed upol
