Norman Is Adventurous.

Miss Gordon Cumming was born
with an adventurous strain in her
blood, for her very name recalls thrill
ling stories of fights with wild ami
mails In little-known lands, and she
has proved herself worthy of her par
entage. 1t Is difficult to say what
dark corners of the earth this daring
woman has not invaded. She has
rambled thousands of miles In China
was the first white woman to pene
trate the mysteries of Tibet; she
has seen the sun rise from the gran
lite crags of California, has climbed
the Himalayas, looked on the fire
fountains of Hawaii. played at Rob
inson Crusoe on scores of Pacific is
lands, has made herself at home In
the heart of Fiji and New Zealand
and Is as familiar with India and
Ceylon In their least-known districts
as with Bond street. The story OF
her adventures reads like a thrning
romance-from her brushes with
death among the Pamirs to her ex.
periences with Samoan rebels.

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds OF Other Gases Of

Loss Of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and dull, sluggish feeling-these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is on q strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
81 suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. ! was under the
care of our family physician most of the
time, but did not seem to get better.

often remark what a changed woman I
am and I owe it all to DIR. Williams
Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases such as anamia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, ON receipt

While old Tom had been talking,

up and running over to the corner

Luckily for Tom, the gate of the

AS Tom drew up in the middle OF
the road. gasping for breath, Frank
held out the stick, broken across the
middle.
"Begar! Ould Toomey's bamboo is
done for" said he. But what's this
here?" peering into the slit. "The
stick, broke and all as it is, is held
together by something inside the

Frank thrust his fingers and drew
out a roll of papers.
II wonder what 1t can mane?"
"Mane!" cried old Tom, who had
taken up the roll and opened it

when received, are cleaned, mixed
with the milt Of the male fish, and

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

There has been marked falling of
of sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines which
were formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than dozen
at time.
Hyomei Is notable exception to
this decrease in sales. 1t Is, in fact,
largely responsible for the lessened
sales of catarrh medicines, as it has
cured so many people of catarrhal
troubles that naturally there is less
call for remedies tor that desease.
There is no disagreeable stomach

through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hvomei outfit. The

guarantee that the money will be re
funded unless the treatment cures, so
that you run no risk at all in buying
this reliable remedy.
