Great Builders.

An eminent Divine once preached a
sermon from this text: ION building
and builders" He talked of the Worlds
Great architects: artists, authors, paint
ers, sculptors, etc. He said that every
one, no matter how low his station in
life, who left the world better than he
found it, was builder, that he who
digged ditch well built for the world S
betterment. He might truthfully added
that he who discovers great remedy
like Rydale's Tonic, works for the
worlds betterment. Rydale's Tonic is
human system builder 1t purifies
and builds the blood, restores weak
nervous systems and increases the
strength and weight. All who have
used Rydale's Tonic, pronounce it q
great system tonic and builder. DR..

it to Mr.. Adams as a good motto to in

Have You Been There?

If you see a little group OF men on
the street corner or somewhere and
one of them is gesticulating wildly
holding his hands, with fingers
spread, up to his head, lodging here
and there, and then raising his hands
as though he was taking aim with a
gun, don't conclude that he is crazy
or deaf and dumb. He has only just
returned from a deer hunting trip.
Ii he holds up his hands and ripples
them along the waves on the water,
sticking up one hand and webbing
it rapidly up and down, and then
stares off into vacant space and
pounds the air vigorously with his
fists, you may know his deer got
away. If he takes aim and then
drops one hand suddenly, walks a
step and draws his thumb across his
throat, you may know that he got
his game, or else he is telling a lie
usually the latter.-Barron Comfy
