4 Cheerful Giver.

We give away very cheer7ully sample
bottles Of a constipation cure that actually
cures. 1t is Vernal Saw Palmetto Berry
Wine. 1t Is not merely relief. 1t per-
manently cures any kind of case of con-
stipation, no matter of how long stand
ing. 1t is not purgative nor an irritant
cathartic. These simply lash and hurt
the bowels and bring but temporary relief.
The condition left behind is worse than
the first. Vernal Saw Palmetto Berry
Wine does just the opposite. 1t is tonic
laxative of the highest order. 1t tones,
strengthens and gives new life and vigor
to the bowels. Only one small dose a day
removes al! the causes of the trouble and
leaves the bowels well and able to move
themselves without the aid of medicines.
1t cures dyspepsia, kidney and liver trou-
bles, indigestion, headaches, catarrh of the
stomach and all other diseases and con-
ditions growing out of clogged condition
of the system. Try it free. Not patent
medicine or liquor. A list of ingredients
on every package. A free sample bottle
for the asking. Send for the sample
to-day. Address, Vernal Remedy Co., LAG

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, of West
Virginia, began his railroad career as a
conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. One day John w. Garrett, Presi
dent of the road, and party of friends
were on Davis's train, making an inspec.
ton of what is known as the ;.SecOnd
Division;" that is, from Martinsburg to
Cumberland. Garrett asked The conductor
some questions about the villages and the
country through which the train passed.
The answers surprised the great railroad
man. Davis not only told all about the
villages, but also made suggestions as to
how the traffic of the road conld be in
creased by reaching into the timber and

Education and Success.

An uneducated child has one chance in
1000 of attaining distinction as factor
in the progress of the age.
A cOmmon-school education increases
his chance nearly four times.
A high-school education increases thu

A college education increases the chance
Of the high-school boy nine times, giving

A conspicuous example of success in the

Maitland, Mo-, who was working as a
section hand in Pennsylvania in 1860,
went to northwest of Missouri in 1870,
and began working by the month as a
farm hand, and later started farming and
dealing in cattle. He now owns several
thousand acres Of land worth $10O per
acre, which is farmed under his own su-
pervision, the entire crop being devoted
to the feeding Of cattle. Here again a
large element in his success is his superior
ability in buying and selling cattle. He is

Dr. Marshal Beatty, the Nose, Throat and Lung
Specialist, of Cincinnati, recently completed
series of trial treatments of his Antiseptic Medi
Gated Air Cure on one hundred patients; some
were consumptives in the lowest emaciated
stages, others of catarrhal, asthnatic and bron-
chial nature. The record Of each patientkept by
the Doctor as the home treatment progressed,
was very interesting. The most remarkable and
gratifying features in connection with the treat
ment was the rapid healing of the cavities and
tubercles Of the lungs and the raw, liberated
surface of the mucous membrane of the entire
breathing organs. This Is phenomenal. and
ample proof that this great discovery has solved
the problem of permanent cure for the thou
sands of sufferers from all catarrhal, bronchial
and lung troubles. In his account OF 1t, the
Doctor says "No germ of Catarrh. Asthma,
Bronchitis or Consumption can live under the
action of this powerful antiseptic. When taken
internally and breathed and inhaled into the
air passages, bronchial tubes and cells Of the
lungs, the germs are at once destroyed and e1-
PEELED from the system, and the disease Is
arrested and cured bv removing the cause"
