Hunter says

''Seeing your request for informa-
tion of cures by DIR. Greene's Nervura,
I wish to give my experience. My
daughter, Edna T. Hunter, had scarlet
fever six years ago last spring. She
had the care Of our family doctor and
was given every attention. After the
danger-point was passed I did as the
doctor directed-did not send her
back to school for two months. AS
time went on she began to show a
nervous trouble. In May sent her
to school again, but she grew so bad
I had to take her from school. took
her to my doctor and he said she had
st. Vitus' dance. At that time she
was in a terrible state-had to be
dressed and fed like a baby. When
she walked she would drag her right
foot; the right side seemed to be
afflicted the most. She could hardly
talk so as to be understood, and her
mind was affected. I thought che
would be insane. My doctor treated
her for two months, but she grew
worse instead of better. About this
time my attention was called to a
case of St. Wins dance that was cured
by DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. I sent for bottle and
gave it as directed, stopped giving
the doctor'sa medicine, and by tie
time she had taken half bottle l saw
she was improving. l kept right on
until she had taken three bottles, then
she was seemingly cured. Every one
that saw her thought it the most
wonderful cure they had ever heard
of. But the next year it came back
again. Two bottles cured her this
time. 1t came back twice, slightly,
afterward, and now for over year
she has shown no signs of a return Ct
it. Her health is very good.
"Both my daughter and myself give
our full permission for the publication
of this testimonial, for the good of

SAVE YOUR CHILD.
st. Vitus' Dance Getting
Fearfully Prevalent.
Comes from Weak Nerves and
Attacks Nervous Children.
Do Not Neglect Your ChiIdren's Weak
and Irritated Nerves:

There appears to be almost an
epidemic of 81. Vitus' dance among
children. The disease comes directly
from weak nerves and an irritated
condition of the nerve centres.
Its approach is shown by the nerves
becoming weak, the child is pale.
nervous, restless, irritable, does not
sleep well at night, but losses rest
lessly, talks in sleep, grits its teeth,
and has irregular appetite. There
will be twitching of the eyelids, the
hand, the arm, the leg, or portion of
the body, which spasmodic move
ments will gradually increase until
the child is more or less helpless.
1t Is a very serious disease and
should never be allowed to run, as the
most serious consequences ensue in
the utter wreck of the nervous sys-
tenn. It must be cured at once.
The cure OF little Edna T., daughter
of Mrs. Sarah M. Hunter, is wonder
full, and should be known to the
parents of every nervous child or
sufferer from st. Vitus' dance. Mrs.
Hunter says

A KEG OF POWDER.

Men can hardly be made to realize
that a little sputtering spark of disease
which might be stamped out in an
instant may mean death if it is allowed
to keep on. Dyspepsia, constipation
and liver complaint seem like trifiiDg
matters but they will eventually wreck
the constitution as surely as a spark will
blow up keg of powder.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is acknowledged as the most wonderful
medicine ever devised for those diseases
which are caused by imperfect action of
the liver and digestive organs.
If your health is not strong and vigor-
Gus it is a simple and sensible thing to
write to DR.. R. " Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, n. V, and
obtain from him ard his staff of eminent
specialists, without charge, professional
advice which will enable you to put
your constitution on a solid basis of
health and strength forthwith, before
these ailments have chance to reduce
you to physical wreck.

Her smile SO sweet IL
Her form petite,
Induce the man to wonder whether
The fabled days
or elves and fays
Havc passed or still are here among us.
The Illusion stays,
Though many ways
Some other maiden may have strung us.
But yet
'Tis the frosty morning beauty as to
which I now would speak
When each blessed, blooming maiden has
rose in either cheek.
Her eyes a-gleam,
Her breath a-steam
Her lips as red as finest coral;
Her face a dream
OF peach and cream,
Such rawlings can't be quite immoral.
Her form erect,
Air circumspect
And yet she's flesh and blood, they tell us!
You'd not suspect
The least defect;
Her clinging neck furs make you Jealous
All, yes,
'Tis the frosty morning beauty in whose
praise fain would speak,
When each blessed, blooming maiden
wears a rose in either cheek.

Newspaper Rulings.
INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
sTATEs SUPREME as TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

l. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofice, " removing and having
them u%ncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
n for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it, Under the law,
the mar who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sem notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.
