Their Counterpart Cannot Be Found
In All the World.
The edge of the world, if such thing
may Ce. lies hardly rifle shot away
from one of the centers of the world
itself-the city of New York.
The Palisades. those mighty walls
whereon the annals of the centuries
are graved-what an edge of the world
their lip presents to him who comes.
perhaps at night. to their rough hewn
elevation. In no other place other than
this near proximity to mai and one of
his greatest cities could a physical fea-
ture so profoundly vast and impressive
be so hidden from the world. Their
counterpart cannot be found in all the
world, and yet the Palisades are almost
unexpected and unknown to the globe
circling, sight hunting public that year
ly trayerses the continents or seas to
gaze at things less wonderful in some
distant field of natures marvellous
achievements, for little does any one
know of these titanic walls who has
merely seen them from the Hudson.
Were they somewhere off in a land
comparatively inaccessible, reached by
4 transcOntinental thread of steel, the
guidebOoks would be rich in their pic
tured grandeur and man would rove
far to explore them.-Philip Verrill

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to Sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter Is it not apparent
then that if this stOmach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
inatiOn of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blOtches,
pimples, eruptiOns, scrOfulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humOrs or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, cOnstipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, Indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
