THIS WOMAN HAS READ
BIBLE 26O TIMES

Ithca, N. Y, Sept. 19.-In excellent
health and spirits Mrs. Sarah Harry, IF
this city, recently celebrated her 95
birthday. One of the features of the
day to her was the fact that she had
completed reading the Bible through
for the 260th time.
For forty years she has been a
staunch member of the State Street
Methodist Episcopal church, and her
greatest pleasure has been to read the
Bible in this church.
Mrs. Harry is the sole survivor of a
family of eight and has outlived her
husband and two sons. No immediate
relatives are alive. Mrs. Harty's sight.
hearing and mentality are unimpared.

same method which thousands of men
and women are using today.
Packey's secret is really no secret
at all. Here it is, in his own words !:

HEALTHY


Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the infam-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left healthy woman to enjoy the
