was surprised to hear the cackling of
hen inside, and on investigation n

the hay. and in one corner of the car
was nest containing six eggs. The
car was sealed up in Michigan twenty
days before its arrival, and the hen
lived in 1t all that time without any

over to one OF his men. who will now

"NERVE WASTE"

One of the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve Waste,' by DR.. Sawyer of San
Francisco, now in it's fifth thousand.
This work Of an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable contrast
to the vast sum Of false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits of wisdom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: "A perusal OF the book and
the application of it's principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
OF lives that are now suffering through
nervous Impairment"
The book is s1.00, by mail. postpaid.
