MANY CITIES ARE
Startled BY CURES
New Root Juice r1edicine Creates
Wide Interest by Its Strange
Power Over Disease.

The startling rapidity with which
the fame Of the new Root Juice med
icine has Travelled seems little short
of marvellous for although its strange
power over disease has been known
but a short time, reports from peo-
pie in many cities, praising it to the
skies and describes the most phe-
nomenal cures, are coming from ey
eryWhere.
Dozens of people here in town who
were among the first to obtain the
medicine at the drug stores, are now
telling Of benefits that have been de-
rived from it's use.
On every hand one may hear
stories that seem almost incredible
and yet the persistency with which
such reports are made seem to dispel
any doubt concerning the remarkab bic
merit of discovery.
From all reports, the Root Juice ex-
erts g. powerful curative influence
upon the digestive and secretcry or.
gans and some Of those who have
tried it say they can scarcely get
enough to eat and that the stomach
seems able to digest anything, 1t
stops indigestion, belching, the form
alton OF gas on the stomach and
pains after meals, in a surprising
manner and its continued use for a
short time strengthens and tones the
stomach so that indigestion is soon
forgotten Rheumatic sufferers, too,
declare that the effect of the medicine
on sore, swollen, aching limbs and
Joints is wonderful and that the pain
simply seems to vanish.
The following extracts from a few
OF the many recent reports will con-
vey good idea of the great results
that are being obtained by its use in
many cities over the country. F.
Abel, Seymour, Ind, II have used the
medicine with fine results and know
of many others it has helped" Albert
Timllck, Cantrall, ILL.,, have suffer
ed with stomach trouble two years.
Was almost dead one night when I
sent for Root Juice. After three or
four doses I felt much better. It has
since worked wonders for me-" j. E.
Ogden, St. Louis, Mo-, 1T is the best
medicine I ever used and I have tried
many kinds" Joe Battle, Moultrie,
Ga, II have tried Root Juice and re-
ceived more benef than from any
medicine I ever used" Other similar
reports have come from Darlington,
N. OAK, Anderson, Ind, Kane, Pa,
Chicago, ILL.,, Harrisonburg, Va,
Springfield, H., Bellefontaine, Ohio:
and many other cities in all parts OF
the United States.
1nasmuch as large bottle holding
nearly pint can be obtained at any
drug store or direct from the Root
Juice Laboratories at Fort Wayne,
Ind, for only one dollar, it would
seem advisable for any suffering per
son to give it a thorough test.

Destruction Of superfuous Books.

Destruction Of superf7uous Books.
Edmund Gosse has explained his on
slaught on the books which be thinks
should be discarded BY great libraries.
he does not advocate any ruthless holo-
caust. Everybody, he says, who is ac-
customed to Libraries knows in his
heart Of hearts that In process Of time
there accumulate in them masses Of
what is more than useless, what is
positively harmful literature, as for
instance:
BADLY printed editions Of the popu
lar English poets, without notes or ap-
paratus Of any kind; handbooks Of
law which are entirely out of date and
mere traps for the feet Of the litigant;
works on medicine and surgery that
are too modern to be curious and yet
too ancient to be safe; bad old die
tionaries and faulty encyclopedias;
superseded summaries Of history with
out fact that is not recorded else
where; theology printed "at the request
Of parishioners;;" exploded and blunder-
ing science these burden the shelves
In tens Of thousands 1t is particularly
libraries collected between 1780 and
1850, roughly speaking, that abound
in specimens that should be cleared
