At first no disease is apparently more
harmless than dropsy, little putting of
the eyelids or hands or a slight swelling
of the feet, ankles or abdomen. Yet no
death is more fearful. The unfortunate
patient slowly browns in the water Of
his own blood.
DR.. Miles has made a specially of
diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys,
nerves and dropsy for as years. To in
troduce his Grand Dropsy Treatment he
will give away $1,000 worth. Hundreds
of testimonials of the most remark able
cures will be sent on request. One
gentleman was cured after having been
given up by ten Grand Rapids physi-
clans; a lady after six able Chicago
doctors pronounced her case hopeless.
Mr.. X. Trimmer OF Green Spring Pa
writes: Your special treatment cured Mrs. T..

Where in the whole world is another thing
meaningless in itself, that has sgniied much
served SO greatly in the dramas Of national life as

One tradition says the Saracens first carried an
orthodox standard into battle, and thus gave the
idea as they gave SO many others, TO the Crusad-
ers But obviously. the flag Is lar older than this
and il is interesting to note its development from
the first iuanimate object borne aloft on a staff
so as to be generally visible, down TO the COM
pIicated bIazonry OF royal banner in our own
ages. The Egyptians thus carried before their
