Oh! FOR STRENGTH!
Weak Nerves, Tired, Exhausted
Bodies.
The Complaint Of Thousands upon
Thousands.
Health and Strength are
Within Your Grasp.
Or. Greene'S NerVura Makes You
Strong and We'll.
1t is the Great Restorative of Brain
and Nerves.

Oh, those nerves Of ours how they
do bother us, Weak. tired. and nrr'
yOuS Is the complaint everywhere.
We overwork. dissipatr. weaken our
bodies, ruin our health. and finally
break down. SloCplUSsncSS ana lnul'
geston are early symptoms. for the
nerves are too exhausted and irritable
TO permit rest, and the stomach too
weak to digest food,
1t is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired. and the
arm nervelcss. the limbs trembling,
the muscles weak, and the whole body
without strength energy or ambition,
1t is loss of nerve and vital power
which is slowly but surely sapping the
very life ITSELF and unless help is
sought from the right source. the end
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softcning of the brain, nervous pros
lration, heart failure, paralysis or pre-
mature death.
Beware of such symptoms, A well
known druggist. Charles w. Egglcs.
ton, 800 Park Avenue, Worcester
Mass suffered from nervous prostra.
tion and all its terrible symptoms. He
writes the following letter telling what
he knows is the best way to get well,
Some time ago | was taken with
nervous prostration, | suffered terribly
with my nerves and could get no sleep
AT all | became fcarlully exhausted,
MY stomach was in tcrribl" condition
from dyspepsia and | could cat hardly
anything
Il used several medicines but with.
out benefit. Being in the drug bust
ness myself. and having had many
customers speak in the highest terms
ot nr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, | determined to try it.
After taking only one-half bottle be.
gan to feel much better.
Il slept soundiy at night, and NV
appetite was SPLENDID. After taking
three bottles. ate three square meals
a day. and had not the slightest dis.
treSs. My nerves were perfectly strong
and felt like new man, being com.
pletely cured of all nv troubles.
"Out of the respect | bear the manu-.
facturersOf DR.. GrecncS Ncryura blood
and nerve remedy. and my desire to
have the sick ana suffering made well
and strong, unhcSitatingly say that
this medicine iG the best and most
wonderful remedy known today.
1T does just what is said Of ii, il
cures disease. Don't hesitate to use il.
sufferers, for You will never regret il
You will be- made well and strong"
As this letter is from d"oler in
medicine, his word is authority or
such matters. Everybody knows that
DR.. Greenc's Ncrvura blood and nerve
remedy is the great leading medicine
of the age. Take it and Won will be
made strong, healthy and vigorous
Doctors recommend IT because it is
the prescription of Il physician. and
because they know it cures.
DR.. Greene, the mOSi successful Spo-
cialist in curing nervous and chronic |
diseases, discovered it. He can be
consulted free. personally or by letter |

hc told but that it is aplrecinbly felt

and that 1t Is making constant inrOad-
upon it Is also admitted bv all, No re-

verse factor To II,
The growth and the expansion of IN,
rug industry has been wonderful In tn,
last five years, and it NAV be said that
within Il twclvemonth 1t has taken I
start forward gaining Il momentum
which promises much for the future,
II is not difficult TO ascribe the cauS'
for this movement, or AT least for n
considerable portion Of it, but ii may
be di'icult TO say whether or not tn y
movement carries with It that parma
ncncy and stability which goes with
most industries, Vet one cannot ignore
the fact that there is associated with
this buciness the idea of alaptabilty
and of suitability which seem to argue
in favor of its pcrmanoncy.
The rug as ii Is known today is dif
Icrent from the rug Of two decades o..
even decade ago. 1t has differen,
place in the question of household
economy, and it is this very question
of economy which has made the place
fer ii. Crowded ciAGs mean small
apartments, shifting population, ana
eXpcdicnts. The rug is a utility car
pet, one that will fill emergencies,
that is well adapted as an cXpelien.,
This unqu2stionably has done much to
encourage the sale. The ingenuity of
the manufacturer in devisng the ways
and means to meet the wants of the
people along tAcse lines has done much
toward increasing the market
Judging from what has been done
the last few years it might be said that
the rug business today is in an initial
movement. one that is likely to reacl
great proportions with recurring years
and that there are even those who be
lieve it will to large extent supelselr
and displacr the regular carpets; that
it is an advance in household economy.
In any event, the rug of today promise
well for the future and the struggliu@
ingram manufacturers, as well as thoS,
who are fighting formidable compet!

featuring, may look to this one branch
of the industry as Offering them an es

COOK BOOKS ARE USELESS.
Recipes Are Not Reliable When Cook
Ing IL Done ut Great
Attitudes.

As attempts are being made to
found domestic science and to in
troduce exactitude into the opera
tions Of the kitchen a note in the
Monthly Weather Review recording
the actual experience Of a housekeep-
er at Albuquerque, N. NJ, is of inter-
est. 1t appears that cooking recipes
and practices which are trustworthy
not far from sea level are worthless
at Albuquerque, the altitude of which
is 4,933 feet Water boils there at 2a2
degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit; hence articles of
food the cooking of which depends
upon heat applied through the medi-
UNI of water require longer time for
cooking than is given in the cookery
books.
On account Of the extreme dryness
of the atmosphere, farinaceous food,
such as beans, corn, etc, lose so much
of their moisture that they have to
be left for long time in water be-
fore cooking in order to be softened,
but the worst difficulty is with cake
making. Ordinary recipes as to num-
Der of eggs and amount of baking
powder break down altogether and
housekeepers have to modify them if
they wish their operations to be sue
! cessful. AS the barometric pressure
! determines to what extent the Olsen
gagged carbon dioxide shall expand
and aerate the dough this may ex-
plain the different action of baking
! soda and egg batter. In any case
the observation is interesting and
chemists may find it worthy of their
attention.

New Cure for Rheumatism.

Hester, Mo-, Dec. 16.-An unusual
case which has recently come to light
here is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic rheumatism SO Sc
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and abso-
lutely incurable At times the pain was
almost, unbearable and she could not
rest day or night.
Some few months ago she was Undue
I'd to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, a rem
edy recently introduced in this neigh
borhood. The immediate results were
magical and she continued till she had
taken eight boxes, and now she de-
clares she has not an ache or pain left.
She believes that she is completely and
permanently cured, and as she has not
used the pills for some months and Is
to-day In the best of health, the doctors
who were at first skeptIcal are amazed.

the NdTu1H 1ImeS.1
Among the thousands of voluntary In
dorsements of the great value Of St.
Jacobs Oil for sprains, stiffness and sore
ness, is that of Mrs. 6. Thomas, Alex
andra road, Cell, Ysbrod, near Ponty-
prldd, South Wales, who says:
~ is with great pleasure that | add my
willing testimony to the Invaluable excel
lence Of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil,
as experienced in my own case | sprain-
ed both my ankles in walking down soma
steps so severely that l was unable to

suffered was most severe, and nothing
that L used helped me until | applied st.

came better daily, and in a short time l
was able to go about, and soon after
was quite cured. l am now determined
to advise all persons suffering from pains
to use this wonderful remedy, which did
SO much for me'
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten US as
TO what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and dur
ing Which time she was suffering so
much, but we venture to suggest that had
she called in any well-known medical
man he would have at once prescribed st.
Jacobs Oil, for it has conquered pain up
wards of fifty years. and doctors know
there is nothing so good. The proprietors
of St. Jacobs Oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier pain
killing remedy of the world. The COM
mittees who made the awards were in
each instance composed largely Of the
most eminent medical men obtainable.
Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the
high opinion in which st. Jacobs Oil is
held by almost every progressive medical

A Fascinating Pastime.

All Great Britain has given itself over
to Ping Pong, or table tennis. 1t is not
confined to one class Of people alone,
but rules unobstructed in palace and
howell Whosoever has the wherewithal
to procure a set of Ping Pong does so
forthwith, and thereafter peace flies
from the hearth. Ping Pong night after
night on the dining room table rules
supreme from John O'Groats to Lands
end. Some enterprising American
should bring the game to this side Of
the water; any harmless evening amuse-
ment that will keep the young folk
amused at home should be warmly vel
coined.
