CLOSE application to my studies last
spring seemed To wear ON my nerves,
my strength was all gone, soon
found my usual mental aud physi-
cal force giving way and realized that my
brain did not act with its usual wonted
activity, while my appetite WAS on the d.
cline and my general health showed me
that needed a change, which ! WAS unable
to take nj that time. ! decided to take a
tonic and asked my druggist what he would
advise me To take. and he said that he
knew of a great many people right here
In town who had used Bloodlne. and
every one of them said 1t was the best
tonic they ever tried. and it seems to al
ways give satisfaction. For two weeks l
used 1t faithfully and was very much
pleased to find that 1t brought back my

FEASTlNG AND FASTING.
Prosperous Americans Draw the
Line at Keeping Fast Day.


Line at Keeping Fast Day.
The changing attitude of the Amer
lean is shown in his increasing will
ingness to have THANKSGIVING come
around every few weeks and his re-
luctance TO have a fast day Up in
New England even. where fast day
was as regular as feed day, it became
In the last few years an occasion for
military reviews and hremen's parades
and picnics and doings like that rather
than for prayer and modification Of
the flesh and the devil It's a long
time since the church bells have rung
the people together to sustain one an
other through day of short rations
Why. do you know, there are Amer
leans who can eat at Delmonico's ev-
cry day in the year except Sunday and
have turkey at every meal. Compare
our condition, then, with that of the
Frenchman who breakfasts on water
and wine and bread. has turnlp for
lunch and bouilabaise or some such
mess for dinner, or with tie Scotch
man existing on oatmeal whisky
onions and pipes or with the poor Eng
lishman. who finds nothing on his Ia
BILE but Montana beef. Canada mutton.
Massachusetts plum pudding. Califor-
MIA oranges, Connecticut tobacco and
Michigan celery or the sad German
who must sit down to Philadelphia
sauerkraut, Hoboken frankfurters,
Brooklyn beer and bretzels made Of
Minnesota -four.
And so, comparing our lot with lot
OF other peoples lots, we take pride to
ourselves and satisfaction and eat our
annual bird with light heart and a
gravid stomach and are at peace with
all the world, for we are feeding a
good deal of that world as well as our
selves and therefore ought TO have its
friendship and its money, If there is
any money left outside Of the United
States. -BroOklyn Eagle.

Gr. S. Raynor;
Gentlemen, tin August last my
daughter Elsie was taken with the typhoid
fever; she was In the care of two physi-
clans for about two months, expecting
her to die every day. After the fever
broke, both doctors said 1t had left her
with the consumption, and that it was
only a question of few days and that
they could do nothing more for her. She
then could not raise her hands over her
