beautiful picture Of itself; the vii

houses, requiring great skill in their
perfect reproduction, are true 10 life,
and must be well built, for they
have to show the true perspective
from all sides; for no two views OF
scenic theatre are alike any more
than they are in nature.
Somtmes the entire production is
modelled. then again only a portion.
Then comes the mountain stream of
real water, the beautiful waterfall,

hand Of the skilled mechanic must
mold the element, to do his bidding

Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow I?

There is a growing sentiment in this
country In favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition Of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part OF the public and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation of his medi-
cines, DR.. R. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it

tion" for weak, over worked, broken

This bold and ont-spoken movement on
she part OF DIR. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed Of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools OF practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
OF the several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines. A copy OF this
