This reproach would touch her. For
gratitude was one of her strongest
traits, he knew, and it was not al,

to this injudicious gratitude, was a
modest rating of her own value which
doubled its effect.
She answered now with a sweet
smile: "You have, indeed, earned the

Circumstances seemed conspiring to
favor the suit of Gonzaga. Held a
close prisoner at her mothers bedside,
Lavender vas eve able to go to the
village. She saw nobody who could
give her information that might lead to
doubt Gonzaga's version of the story of
that night. Gerald's lips he had sealed,
and Winslow was Ill, unable-too
proud, perhaps-to exert any coun-
teracting influence. Fate, Gonzaga
thought. was on his side, his was the
fortune that favors the bold, as well
as the brave-fortune would help him
to win the woman he loved with more
than the lovers devotion, with rather
the gamblers greed of gain, the hunt
er's thirst for the quarry.
And now was the tima to press his
advantage. These were dark days in
Lavender's life. Days when the soil

STOP TAKING
MEDICINE !

Let your stomach alone to do what
Nature intended-digest food, not poi
sonous drugs. and awaken the Great
Solar Plexus, whose millions of little
nerves govern and control the action of
every organ Of the body, and you will
get well and vigorous and keep so.
You cannot expect perfect health with
disordered and diseased stomach, nor
can you have a good stomach until you
stop all nasty, poisonous. health-de-
stroying pills. mixtures and drugs. And
what is the use Of drugging anyway?
The acids of the stomach destroy the
properties of the best drugs. and. on the
other hand, strong drugs infiame the
delicate tissue of the stomach so it can
not digest and assimilate food.
If you have any STOMACH, LIVER,
KIDNEY, BOWEL, BLOOD, NER-
VOUS, MALARIAL. ACID POISON,
GERM OR WASTING DISEASE, you
should adopt the grand principle of
DERNIC OSMOSIS and get we'll. This
MARVELLOUS HEALING and VITAL
IZING FORCE will be both revelation
and a blessing to you. If you are not in
perfect health. NO MATTER WHAT
YOUR DISEASE, your own safety de-
mands that you try the Osmo Treatment
at once.
DON'T SEND ANY MONEY.
Simply say, "Send me FREE OF COST

PENALTY of further stomach drugging
