SIMPLY WONDERFUL
The Success of the Quaker
Herb Remedies.

1t cannot he doubted any longer.
Facts are facts. Cures are cures
The Quaker Herb Remedies have
done more in FIT, Wayne, where the
Quaker Health Teacher is introducing
them the same as he did while here,
than was really expected of them.
People in all parts of the surround
ing country, who are well known to
have been sufferers. are now well.
They used the Quaker Herb Remedies
and have been cured The proof of
the pudding Is in the eating thereof.
II you suffer with rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Stomach or Blood Troubles,
try Quaker Herb Extract at once. It
has cured hundreds of others and It
viii cure you.
II you or your childen suffer with
n tapeworm or pin worms. fit worms,
stomach worms, etc, Quaker Herb
Extract will remedy the trouble.
Read what Mrs. George Bait. s1s
Poplar street, says regarding the
Quaker Herb Remedies: II suffered
with catarrh OF the throat and lungs
The disease is usually fatal and It
seemed as If there would be no ex-
cepuon in my case. / had lost faith

in all medicines and decided to take
no more. All the medicines 1 still
happened to have on hands, l actually
threw away. / read and heard 80
much about Quaker Herb Extract
that 1 was finally induced to call on
the Health Teacher and show my APP
probation in person to him, and to
praise the Quaker Remedies which
have done SO much for me. My hus-
band has been confined with rheuma-
tism. He also took Quaker Herb
Extract and oil Of Balm and as re-
suit he was able few days ago to
again so to work"
This proves that Quaker Herb Ex-
tract and OIL Of Balm can and are
doing. Do not hesitate II you suf-
fer but go to the drug store and pur-
chase some of these remedies and
start taking them at once and in a
very short time you too will be prais-
ing them for what they have done for
you.

copy of letter. that is being sent

phen D. Lee, North. and South, re-
garding the erection of a monument
in honor of the dead Confederate
chief:
"My Dear Comrad--I have the honor
to invite your interest and assistance
in the effort to secure a fine standing
bronze statue of the late Gen. Ste
phen D. Lee for the National Military
Park. It will be placed on Confederate
avenue, on the line of his brigade
during the defense, and will cost
about $4,000. One-half of this
amount has been pledged by his son,
Mr.. Blewett Lee of Chicago and the
other half must be raised by contribu
tions from Gen. Lees friends, North
and South The proposal strongly APP
peals to those whe have personal
knowledge of the Generals nobility
of character and lovable disposition.
Please let me hear from you In re-
gard to it. Very sincerely yours.

PEARLS or THOUGHT.
Don't be afraid of fear.

53
Do things rather than people.
Trust no mans memory nor your
own.
Generally Ile woman in the case is
the case herself.
Don't be afraid that your efforts
will not be appreciated.
Umbrellas are like men; usually
the poorest get left.
"A chronic kicker. kicks best when
he kicks the bucket.
Don't be afraid to do your best.
The best is none too good.
Don't be afraid to play the game
honestly. Honesty always wins out.
Don't be afraid to go out of the
way to do a good turn for friend.
When man doesn't get mad over
his politics its because he happens
to know what he's talking about.
Either people who could live with
in their incomes don't have 1t, or
those who have it can't live within it.
A man deserves no credit for work
ing when he is hungry. Take the
corn away from hog and he will
root.
Don't be afraid to be polite at all
times and under all circumstances.
1t is no disgrace to be called gen.
tleman.
