TO PALE THIN PEOPLE

Pale, thin people are simply suffer-
ing from want of nourishnlent. They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. 1t mingIes
with the food and aids assimilation,
SO that when taken for a short time,
nature will soon assert her normal
powers, and the food that is eaten
will give strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh will find his de-
sires accomplished by Samose
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use Of Samose that Drug
gist Jas. O'Donnell Is willing to pay
for the treatment If 1t does not give
the desired results. He makes this Of
fer generally and wants all who are
thin, weak, and out of health to get
box Of Samose from him on those
terms.

Some friends of the count are per-

fell. But this year his friends know
nothing. The count told them he maybe
would not celebrate. 1t cost much. yes
much money. 1t burt his business. The
count could not afford. But It seems
that as the fatal day drew nigh, the
spirits refused to stay subdued,
to listen to the vulgar commercial
spirit, and the count Will have one
grand celebration. 1t will not be at
mis- place on Thirteenth street, because
the count has no room, but his guests
will be taken down the river at 5

brate, and they will return to the city
at midnight-maybe At least, they
will return when they have again ac-
