NeuraSthenia
Also Known as ''Nerve Tire"
and Nervous Exhaustion"

Also AHOWn as nerve L Ire
and Nervous Exhaustion"
has, during the present genera
ton, come to be known as the
National Disease" of America.
So prevalent has it become that it
is almost an exception to find a
person without it. 1t is usually
found associated with nervous
dyspepsia, which is often the
most prominent symptom. In this
age of hurry, worry, hustle and
the strenuous life in business
many people overwork their ner-
vous systems and put too much
strain upon them, which eventu-
ally causes a partial or total
breakdown. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey through its tonic and
rebuilding constituents will cure
these troublesome nervous COM
plants by supplying the system
with those vital elements which it
needs to bring about a complete
restoration to health.
The processes of tearing down
and building up are constantly
being carried on in the body, and
if nothing interferes with these
important processes health re-
suits; but when something occurs
to check them disease is sure to
follow. Duffy's Malt Whiskey
overcomes the disease by stimu-
lating the heart and nerves, which
quickens the circulation of blood,
enabling the system to properly
essimilate the food from the ali
mentary tract; also to adequately
eliminate from the system
through the lungs, pores, kidneys
and intestines, those waste prod
ucts, such as uric acid, toxins.
etc, which result from the dis
integration of the old tissues of
the body, and the decomposition
of alimentum in the alimentary
canal.
If you wish to keep young,
strong and vigorous and have on
your cheeks the glow of perfect
health, take Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey regularly, according to
directions. 1t tones and strength
ems the heart action and purihes
the entire system. 1t is recog-
nized as family medicine every
where.
If weak and run down take a
teaspoonful four times day in
half glass of milk or water.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
sold everywhere by druggists,
grocers and dealers, or shipped OIL
order for $1.00 a bottle.

send to every reader of The Los
Angeles Herald advice, and an in
teresting illustrated medical book

Object of Paul's Appeal.

Paul was in Philippi, city of Macedo-
mia, News had come to him of the suffer
ing of the Christians i'll Jerusalem. This
suffering was caused by famine and by
the unsettled condition of things in Jul
dea. Life and property were insecure,
and the common people were i'll extreme
poverty. Paul had promised to assist
lnem, and to this END he had made an
appeal to all the churches. It's 1ntl oduc-
ton here seems to be abrupt, but this is
because he had previously spoken OF II,
ana had given detailed directions con
corning it U Cor, 16l. That chapter de-
serves to be studied careIuily oy every
christian. 1t SHOWS the thought of Pa.i.

specific and sacred trust. 1t is clear
from these directions that Paul meant
that the giving should be a matter OF
conscience. 1t is a duty as sacred and
as binding as prayer. 1t is the religion
of the closet carried out into The daily
life. And the closet is the pace where
we are to decide, not whether we will
give, but how much we shall give. The
closet, where we stand face to face with
God, and the fact of our stewardship,
this is the only place where the Christian
can decide what shall he the amount of
his Offering to God.

Their noble offerings surprised the apos-
tie. 1t is evident that he expected but
little from them. In his judgment they
went beyond their power. And when,
as We Iearn from verse f. the apostle pro-
tested against so large Offering, they
prayed him with much entreaty that he
would receive the gift This was certainly
a new feature in Christian fellowship. 1t
shows how strong is the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love. And the Sc

This is not happily translated. 1t might
better read: They gave, not merely as
we hoped, but more, they first gave them

Some More Heroes


Of their heroic action been considered
rather commonplace individuals will this
one bright deed put them on a pedestal
for all time in the eyes Of their friends
and neighbors? If possibly some of them
up to this time have had a rather check
cred career will one brave act redeem
their past?
l have asked more questions than L
have time or space or wit to answer.
But l must ask one more for which I
have ready reply. Did they do it for
the Carnegie award or to be seen of men
No, indeed. Not one Of them was thus
actuated. This is my belief, though l
have no absolute specific proof. But their
herofsm would be robbed Of all it's glory
had 1t been in the case of any measured,
calculated service
Who can think for an instant that those
brave miners at Cherry, ILL.,, who, re-
gardleSs of themselves, went down into
that foul pit in the hope Of saving their
suffocating companions had any other
motive than the desire to save useful
lives on whose daily earnings other lives
depended?
The charm and fragrance that 1nhere
in a heroic act lie in the utter uncon-
seriousness and disinterestedness of the
one who does It. The street car con-
ductor who told me the other cold night
that the reason why he wore no over
coat was that he wanted his sister to
have an education and the "old folks
to have few extra comforts now winter
is at hand WAS not posing or asking for
my sympathy or aims or those of any one
else. He is selfrespecting lndepend-
ent American citizen. and l wormed the
facts out of him by diligent questioning
He VINO measures up to the duty of the
moment and who does 1t for others is the
hero. Carnegie award or no Carnegie
award. Our chance at that hero fund is
very slight Drowning people do not come
our way very often The fires are usually
out before We arrive on the scene. But
the chance to be a real hero comes within
our reach daily.
