ing liSS In an entirely different
direction. Doctors diagnose the
case, question as to the symp-
toms and treat the symptom in
stead of investigating for the
cause, and having discovered it,
taking proper steps to remove
the wrong condition which
makes it possible. Patent medi-
ctnes, too, are placed on the
market and advertised to treat
the symptoms, to relieve this
and that outward manifestation
of an inward abnormality, while
the CAUSE goes merrily on, caus-
ing more and more symptoms
as time progresses, more work
for the doctors and more sales
for these so-called medicines.
Vitae-O Ore treats the CAUSE, mot
the symptoms. 1t gets into the
veins, courses through the vital
organs, doing its good work in
each, setting each to rights and
by SO doing removes the inward
disorder itself. It is a CURE and
not merely CHECK U q I1LuS

manifestation of that disorder.
This is one Of the reasOns for
the abeoluteness and perma-
nency of its cures, the principal
reason for the wide range of
symptoms it causes to disap-
pear. Many different eymp-
toms and local disturbances can
be attributed to one particular

A New Language Method.

If person has, rs the Celts say,
"only one side to his tongue and
wishes to add to his resources in the
matter Of language it might be well
for him to apply to an old man in
Scotland. whose methods OF instruction
are simple. They are described In
Scenes In Scotland" by Mr. Sinclair
4 lady visiting in the north of Scot
land wished TO get some Idea OF the
Gaelic and employed an old native to
give her course of language lessons.
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
text book. and, opening it ut the be-
ginning of Genesis, lie said.
"Now, ma'am. I'll read this to you
in the Gaelic. and you'll see yourself
how 1t will GO
With solemn intOnatiOn and an ap-
pealing. triumphant glance toward the
lady at the end Of every clause, he
loudly read the first four verses and
paused TO watch the effect Then he
said in a tone of deep conviction:
Now, ma'am, if you'll take your
own Bible and turn to that chapter ana
read it in English you'll see It's just
the selfsame thing"
The old man was much surprised that
the lady did not continue her lessons.

be a gambling hell and police official
admitted to the investigator that the

lice do not seem TO be at fault They
