Even after the disease is apparently
dead, the physical weakness, mental
apathy and depression Of spirits re-
main. Chronic disorders, which be-
fore were unable to gain a foothold,
now find an open door, inviting en-
trance to the system.
But there is remedy that cures
LaGrippe and removes its dangerous
after effects. There are hundreds of
men and women in almost every COM
munity, who were weak and des-
pondent, unable to work, and with
out courage, but who have recovered
health, heart and ambition through
the remarkable healing and strength
ening qualities of DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t goes straight to the cause of the
mischief resulting from the grip. 1t
builds up the shattered nerves,
soothes and quiets the irritated
brain, strengthens the stomach and

Have you had LaGrippe? II you
have not, doubtless some of your
friends have suffered from it and you
have witnessed some Of the terrible
tertures it can inflict. You have
seen it suddenly and without warn
ing, sieze the victim in its relentless
grasp and fairly wrench asunder the
f1bers Of the nervous system. That
terrible pain in the back of the head
and shooting up and down the spine,
the throbbing temples, the aching
back and legs, the soreness in mus
cles and bones as if bruised or beat
en-, the feeble pulse, the tottering
step-all these are familiar to you.
But have you noticed tie after eff
fects Of LaGrippe? Do you know
that it weakens the lungs, enfeebles
the heart, deranges the stomach and
bowels and seriously interferes with
all functional operations of the body?

RAILWAY PENSIONS.

Pennsylvania Railroad the First
Corporation to Adopt the system.
What to do with the old people,
those who have worn themselves out
in the race of life, is the problem in
every country on the globe. Some of
the uncivilized races, not having very
high conception of life at the best,
put their old men to death when they
become helpless and are no longer
able to take care of themselves. This
barbarous method shocks our moral
sensibilities, and yet is it not in reality
more humane than the treatment the
old sometimes receive at the hands of
those who claim to be enlightened and
even Christianized? There are today
in our almshouses and homes for the
aged men who are anXiously waiting
for their last hour to come, those too
who were once among the most wealthy
and useful, the most active and hon
ored members of their community.
Germany and some of the other
countries of Europe have adopted a
system of old age pensions. The sub
ject has been thoroughly agitated in
England the last year and would be
the leading question before the COM
ing parliament were it not that the
Boer war has arisen to eclipse every
thing else in Britain.
The Pennsylvania railroad some
years ago adopted a system of relief
that has done, and is still doing, an
admirable work, which the pension
system just adopted is intended to sup
plement, not supersede. The Penn
sylvania is the greatest railroad in the
world in the volume of business it
does, and it can justly lay claim to
being the most liberal in dealing with
it's employees. When man enters the
Pennsylvania service he may rest as
sured of permanent employment as
long as he faithfully performs his duty.
The details of the Pennsylvania s
pension system are less important than
the great humane principle upon which
it Is founded. At the beginning of
this year nearly 1000 old employees
were retired on pension. All employees
of the Pennsylvania system east Of
Pittsburg and Erie who have attained
the age of 70 years and all officers and
employees between the ages of 65 and
SO who have been 80 years in the SER
vice of the company were retired and
placed on the pension list. The amount
paid is / per cent for each year of
service on the average monthly salary
for ten years past. Therefore, the man
who has been in service 30 years and
whose pay averaged $50 per month re-
ceives 80 per cent of $50, or $15 per
month during life, unless the total
amount at any time exceeds 5000, 900,
in which case the list would be scaled
to make the amount come within the
limit. AS 100000 will pay 1,667 men
$15 a month for year, 1t is not likely
that any cutting down will ever be
found necessary.
This last advance movement on the
part of the Pennsylvania indicates
both wisdom and goodness on the part
of those who conceived it. 1t will be
a bond of good fellowship between en-
ployer and employe that will insure
better service on the part of the one
because he feels that it is appreciated
on the part OF the other.

digestive organs and puts new life
into the entire sytem.
"Thirty-six years of hard work to raise my
family and at the end to see them all taken
away from me quite unnerved me, so that
when LaGrippe got me in its clutches three
years ago, was treated very roughly. When
the first attack was over found myself on
the very verge of insanity. My nerves were
so unstrung that l could not control myself to
utter sound and the least noise caused ex-
cruciating agony. My stomach was so weak
that nothing could remain in it long enough
to do me any good and my heart futtered
continually. When / began taking DR..
Miles Nervine my mind became clear, my
nerves grew steady, my stomach was
strengthened and was saved from an exist
ance worse than DEATH"
