Mrs. Z. W. German, who resides
at Ninth street, who was laid up
three months with rheumatism in
arms. shoulders. back and lower
limbs so bad that she never put
her foot on the floor in weeks, tried
every known remedy without even
relief. and two bottles OF Quaker
Extract and two Csc bottles of Oil

feels like girl--no aches or
pains-and says that Quaker Elk
tract and OIL OF Balm did more
for her than 800 worth of other
medicine.
Now, this is the way the Health
Teacher proves what he says.
Quaker Remedies cure, even where
all others have failed. Hundreds
of people have had their hearing

smell all brought back; people
with stiff limbs and joints have all
been made well. Call at Coursey

her to flatter John before visitors,
smile indulgently a. some Of her most
obvious faults, refer to her, ask her
opinion of men. of women, of books,
Of goods. make John think you think
cousin Is the greatest human being
alive. Some time when you know John
is going to be really tired ask cousin
home to dinner, be busy about the
house when she comes and send John
in to entertain her; don't help him
out, make him sit up and look pleas
ant though he's dying for a pipe and

you; make John take her home, way
home. not Just to the car; insist
upon II, and when John comes home
be so glad to see him and tell him you
hated TO send him away with cousin,
but she always expects men to wait
on her and she might think, etc. Give
John cousin for breakfast, dinner and
supper, smile and cajole and be nicer

And II is not to our discredit The
Lord implanted in every girls heart a
the love Of father, mother. brother, sis
ter or friend. It is q longing that grows
with her years, showing first in her smil-
ing overtures as q baby TO some boy and
never ending till It finds satisfaction in
the love OF husband and child.
She may grow old and gray in
spinsterhood; she may Judge mans love
by the unhappy experience Of some sis
ter and decry IT. she may despise the
dependence that comes with love and
deny It, but to the end OF her days,
ears refuse to hear, there remains at

that Is never stilled. And no woman is
