Craving for Drink DESTROYED

The best aid to temperance is some
thing that will strengthen the drunk
ard s wrecked nervous system and cure
his unnatural craving for drink. We
believe that any man who really de-
sires to be cured of the liquor habit
can cure himself by using Orrine. This
remarkable discovery has made so many
cures among our customers that we are
glad to sell it under an absolute guar.
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure.
1t is in two forms: Mo- / that can be
given secretly, and No. 2 FOR those who
wish to be cured. It is not only the
most reliable treatment known, but it
Is also the most economical, as it costs
only 81 box and there is no deten-
tion from the usual duties, while if
cure is not effected, there is no expense
whatever. Mail Orders filed. The

Lucknow, Nov. 3.-India is usually

people, They simply have the misfor-

with them neither habits. nor pleasure,
but simply methods Of business.

away, will turn out and aid the police

But If a police inquiry begins two or
three. days after the, robbers have done

usually do nothing to help in tracing
them, and will even deny that they
have lost anything.
For many years past the government
Of India has worked to induce these
criminal tribes to settle down to
peaceable and Industrious life. They
have been collected ON reservations,
with every regard for their tribal Gus
toms and prejudices. They have been
given land and cattle and seed for SOW
ing. If cultivation was not. to their
taste, they have been offered a choice
Of other industries. And year by year
the responsible officer reports, with
feeble effort at congratuation, that a
few more men Of. this tribe or that are
evincing q disposition for a settled life.
But progress is very. slow; vagabond-
age is bred in the bone and marrow
Of the tribes, and marauding is their
chosen occupation. From time to time
men will suddenly disappear, perpetrate
several daring dakaitis in another dis
trict and escape over the border into
one Of the Independent native states
which cluster round three sides Of the

Baku is an oven. There is not a
blade Of grass nora drop, Of fresh
water. The sun has burnt all color
out of the land. The dun, heaving
hills drink in heat and breathe it forth
again. ~
The air is heavy and thick and

wells, ten square miles Of drilled rock
tapping the reservoirs Of oil one, two,

earth.

mammoth nightmare candle shutters,
jostle together; there is constant whirr

mile down twenty-inch tubes and re-
belched into huge tanks. It will be

to Batoum, on the Black sea, or hauled
for long weeks in oil boats up the
Volga, smearing the river with petrol
cum, making the very fish taste Of

in Baku is a distillation Of the brack-
ish Caspian.
You can see the heat waves in the
white streets: In the shade the air is
hot and greasy. The tawny Asiatics
keep to their homemade coats of
sheepskin. Their long wool1y sheep

-FOUR YEARS

One Of the strangest cases that
have confronted the medical profess
sion for some time is that Of Mr..
Henry Fred, Of Oaklandon, Indiana. ],
Some years ago, according to his
statement, Mr.. Fred began to have
trouble with his stomach. AS time
went on his condition grew worse
and soon became SO that he, could
not keep down his food.
Doctors were consulted and vari-
Gus remedies were tried in vain.
When speaking of his strange case,
Mr.. Fred stated:
- tttFive different hysicians treated
me without the slightest benefit nor
did the many medicines I took at
ford me any relief. do not believe

the time / suffered from this dread

A short time ago I heard of the
wonderful results that were being
effeced with the new medicine sold
by Cooper, the well-known philan-
throplst, and bought one bottle as a
trial. have only taken about two
thirds Of it, and have received more !;
benefit and relief in this short. time
than I did from five of the best doc
tors I could find and countless 9TH
er remedies i have tried during the
past four years.
Now I can eat what want
with a relish and my digestion is
perfect."
Cooper's New Discovery has done
more for cases of stomach and kid
ney trouble, blood. diseases, catarrh,
and deafness than any other medi-
cine ever introduced in this country, B

them.
