Living Like n Savage.

Civilized people will be shocked at
the advice of an English physician to
a wealthy patient to live like savage
to be cured. Savages, it may be re-
called, do not belong to clubs, have no
stock exchanges, know nothing of trust
and trade combinations, run no polit-
zeal campaigns and so reserve some vi
tality and nerve force for purely living
urposes.-Baltimore American.

STA Cure instantly relieves that dis
tressed feeling after eating, giving you
new life and vigor. W. A. Rembert.
