New Tangled Nostrum VS.. Old-Time
Remedies.

This is an age Of advancement In medi-
cal science. Experimenters in this field
have emphasized many marvellous re-
suits that are to-day minisiering to the
welfare of humanity. II Is true, how
ever, that some oldtime remedies are
still in common use because the OK
perience Of past years has showed their
value. 1t Is wise always to adopt new
measures for the curing OF disease, but
IL is also wise to adhere to the old and
tried when possible experiment might
prove more dangerous to the patient
than 10 really necessary.
There are families to-day who make
use OF DR.. True's Elixir, = standard
remedy for the common ills OF life. They
do this because experience has proved
that in cases OF constipation, biliousness,
feverishness, headache, loss OF appetite
and other kindred ills, there Is nothing
90 eficscious As this simple remedy.
X was discovered more than three
score years ago by family physician OF
large practice, and from that time to
this its sale and use have enormously
extended. Too much cannot be said In
praise Of this simple vegetable com.
bound. It 10 entirely free from harmful
drugs and can be taken with entire safe
" by the youngest child. Indeed. per-
haps its principal usefulness lies In iti
easy adaptability to childish sicknesses,
| 1t 10 especially good to destroy stomach
and pin worms, those deadly foes oil
childhood, which so often cause serious
sickness without the watcbful parent
discovering the cause. II mothers knew
how often children suffered from worms
thew would keep this pleasant remedy
constantly on hand.
Many family physicians make Dr.
Trus's Elixir q standard remedy In theiI
practice. 1t may be obtained of dealers
almost every where.

and electing a foreman, together they
asked for divine guidance. They strict
" observed the Injunction OF the court
not to talk among themselves, nor allow
any one to speak to them concerning the

The case was given TO them at eight
O'Clock Saturday evening and at eleven
