AN OLD CURE.

Boston society has taken up the music ,cure with an enthusiasm that bids fair to outrival the enthu- siasm that once characterized the progress of the faith cure and cures by Christian scientists. The mu- sic cure is especially recommended for all kinds of nervous diseases and instances are cited where az gravated cases ,of neuralgia have been cured in a short while by the playing of music in minor key on a piano. Those who believe so strongly in the music cure recom- mend the violin as most effective, though any instrument is employ ed with beneficial results. There is little doubt that certain kinds of nervous diseases may be dissipated in this way. The most distinguish ed alienists have for years admit ted the benefits that result to their patients from a regular course of music, and the patients of asylums are treated in this way.-Ark.

Why the Twiee-a-Week Repub- Has Achieved Wide
 Reputation.

Established for nearly centu- ry and read regularly by more than 800, GOO persons in the West and Southwest, the Twice-a-W eek Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable distinc- ton, "Favorite Home Paper"
 It is great because it has always aimed to inform, instruct and en- tertain It's rerders on all matters of public and home interest. In 1901 it will be especially interest ing and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe tor it:
 This is campaign year, and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re ports of the great National and State Conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the elections, etc.
 Ton will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30th to Dec. l. 1901.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the Farm Visitor, a regular supplement ot the paper, especially for the farm CT and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every field of activity ,and through the unsur passed news and special service of The Twice.a-Week Republic you will not be disappointed.
 The short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and the home, fashion hints and helpful house. hold suggestions the Twiee-a- Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies Of the great West.

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic condi- tions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient and the rich patient, too, can do much at home by prop CT attention to food digestion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free approximation in the morn ing is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good nights rest and the absence of that weak ening cough and facilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the ex- haustion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the eonsumptive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberaIly and regularly. Should you be able to go to warmer cline, you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefited and re- gain strength are those who use German Syrup.
