Poisoning the System.

1t is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed of impurities
Constipation keeps these poisons
in the system, causing headache,
du1ness and me1ancholia at first,
then unsightly eruptions and finally
serious illness unless a remedy is
applied. De Wits Little Early
Risers prevent this trouble by
stimulating the liver and promote
easy, healthy action of the bowels.
These little pills do not act violently
but by strengthening the bowels
enable them to perform their own
work. Never grippe or distress. R.
S. Freeman & Son.

Mother Always Keeps 1t Handy

My mother suffered a long time
from distressing pains and general
i'll health due primarily to indiges-
tion," says L. w. Spalding, Verona,
Mo. 1.-TWO years ago l got her to
try Kodol. She grew better at once
and now, at the age of seventy-six,
eats anything she wants, remarking
that she fears no bad effects as she
has her bottle of Kodol handy"
Don't waste time doctoring syrnp-
toms. Go after the cause. If your
stomach is sound your health will
be good. Kodol rests the stomach
and strengthens the body by digest
ing your food. 1t is natures own
tonic. r. S. Freeman & Son.

The size of nails is designated by
the word penny" preceded by a
numeral, 60-penny down to three
penny-fne. The origin of this
phraseology is not plain. The most
reasonable explanation is this:
Nails were originally sold by the
thousand. But to count them would
require too much time; SO each size
had a given designation by weight,
supposed to be equivalent to athous'
and if counted. Thus there are g.
ounce, 12-ounce, 16-ounce, 2-pound
4-pound and SO on up to 60-pound,
each representing a different size
and the number of pounds of that
size to make a thousand. The
phrase, "ten-pound nails" got cor
rupted into the shorter 'ten-pu'n
nails" from which it easily reached
the transition, "ten-penny." Stee
wire nails have almost entirely
superseded the old-fashioned cut
nails, cut from fiat piece of soft
iron by a trip-hammer knife. The
sizes of steel wire nails have ref
erence to the length of the nails.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube gets imam
ed you have rumbllng sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
