HEART, KIDNEY AND BOWEL
TROUBLE.

Gibson, Pa June 20, 1911.
Prof. Samuels
Dear Sir: Your treatment is wonder
full and | can never thank you enough
and l feel like a new person to what l
was when | commenced your treatment
for [ did not think | would live to see
another year when l sent to you, but
prayed to the Lord for help and relief
for my afflicted body and mind and He
heard my prayers and I will praise His
name forever for the good blessings He
sent me in sparing me to find your
wonderful medicine, and / hope I may
be the means of helping other suffering
ones to find relief through you.
When [ commenced your treatment ]
could hardly walk across the house; l
was so weak and nervous I could hard
ly bear to talk or read sew or cook or
do any kind of work at all; l could eat
but q few mOuthfuls of food at a time
and that would hurt me. My breast felt
tight and burned and hurt me all the
time; my heart troubled me SO badly
at night for two or three hours; my
bowels were swollen and hard all the
time; ! could not bend over to tie my
shoes without hurting them MY kid
neys and legs sWellcd badly and |
could press holes in the flesh and they
would stay for a while. / was so weak
L would nearly faint sometimes and
now l feel like a. new person. 1 can eat
heartily, sleep well, feel strong and
have no pains; heart and nerves feel
we'll; breast don't bother me at all;
my kidneys are better; mind is better
In short ] feel better than ] have for
several years up to this time
Very respectfully.

- UST why st. Valentine Is recog-
nised as the patron saint of Cupid
is difficult to determine. There is
nothing in the life of this saint to
~ indicate that he was ever inter
ested in affairs Of the heart or that he
sanctioned the sending Of love messages.
st. Valentine was Bishop Of Rome in the
third century, during the time Of the
Chudian prosecutions of the Christians.
He was cast into prison and while there
cured the keepers daughter Of blindness:
But despite this miracle the good saint
vas beaten with clubs aud stones and
th.n beheaded. His remains were pre-
carved In q church at Rome for long
time; a gate of the city was named for
him. There are many who Insist that In
the vernacular of the common people the
Norman word for lover was ''galantin,"
which was not unlike the sound Of the
word valentine, and the two words were
- . consequence confused. This 10 Q
far-fetched explanation, but 1t Is given by
many serious authorities A more plausi-
be theory attributes the coupling Of Pc
euliar customs with the saints day to the
desire of the early fathers to Christianise
ed pagan rites not easily abandoned BY
he people.
Each season brings innovations in the
valentine makers art Germany. al

During the year 1862 the Assembly
of Virginia enacted law Offering ~

made entirely of fur. The cominoner
qualities are formed of n mixture OF fui

proportion of uutria. musquash aud beay'
er's hair. though the latter has been for
many years extremely scarce; and gen
orally any parings or cuttings from FUR
riers are used. Fifty years ago the HITTER
beat his fur with n bow into triangular
