he had no citizen who had known him
FIVE years to testify for him.

Advice Of Noted Authority, Also
Gives a Simple Prescription.

Gives q Simple Prescription.
Now is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and the patent medicine manu-
facturers reap the harvest, unless great
care is taken to dress warmly and keep
the feet dry. This is the advice of an
old eminent authority, who says that
Rheumatism and Kidney trouble
weather is here, and also tells what to
do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one.half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in bot
tie and take a teaspoonful after meals
and at bed time.
Just try this simple homemade mix
ture at the first sign of rheumatism,
or if your back aches or you feel that
the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be a splendid kidney
regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood, which
the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one
can easily prepare this at home and al
small cost
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in
gradients, or, if our readers prefer,
they will compound the mixture fol
them.

What Are You Going To Do With
Your Year2

The year 1909 Is to be your year
your personal property, more subject
to your will, to your purposes, to
your personal impress, than any other
year has been.
The size of your business at this
moment is fact which has taken
shape, and form. You are the prison
er, in a way, of that fact-whatever
II is, pleasant or painful.
But-what your business is to be
like at the end of 1909 is still an open
question, which you alone can decide.
The conditions surrounding you are
largely subject to your will--if your
will is strong, and unafraid. The
clay is ready to your hands-you can
shape it as YOU like. In building
your business to dreamed.of-propor-
tious, you have the potent force of
advertising to work with-to help
you rule during your year-to help
you to be, at it's end, the "boss" of a
bigger business than you could build
up in FIVE years without its help.
