"I have regalned more strength than
lost. Am better than ever. You can
print this" Charles f. .Rothchild, q Robi4-
son street, Z. Allegheny, Pa.
Charles E. Rothchild cured his lack OF energy
and Of confidence when he cured his kidney
weakness.
His loss OF vitality and OF confidence was the
direct result of his kidney trouble. The kid
neys have entire influence on the vital energies
of the body. TO try TO cure lack of vitality by
mere stimulants or dangerous drugs is ruinous
folly.
DR. Pettingills KidneyWOrt Tablets have
brought the Joy OF life TO thousands Of men and
women who acknowledge the cure and who are
praising the medicine to their friends.

should try the same method to enforce
another.

Resolved that forgetfulness il used
judiciously is one of the great virtues.
1t takes practice but it is fine when
you can do it, because it is easy to
forgive when you have forgotten. You
can't be depressed over what you have
forgotten. Have you lost money,
sleep or your temper forget it-forget
it-forget it.-Buster Brown.
