''When God
Made Man
He Was Pure"
After SHINING he became diseased,
the Almighty however placed on earth
cnre for every disease.

According to the teachings of the
Bible the leaves of the trees, and the
herbs, roots, barks and berries are fer
the healing of the nations. That is
what you get in HERB JUICE, the
pure juices of the herbs, scientifically
prepared into liquid form for the heal
ing of mankind. HERB JUICE is
wonderful curative product of nature,
it sweeps away many of the most
troublesome diseases to which flesh is
heir. Stomach disorders and many
ailments of the Kidneys, Liver, Blad-
der and Blood will not exist where
HERB JUICE is used. 1t dissolves
and removes toxic poisons, thus re-
lieving Rheumatism and various dis
orders. 1t is mistake to seek relief
from plasters and liniments and reme-
dies which only temporarily soothe
and do not remove the cause. The
good results obtained from Herb Juice
are due to the fact that it acts directly
on the liver and kidneys, cleansing the
entire system. G. e. Grafton Drug Co,

HAIR AND VITALITY.
The One Acts, In Measure, as an ln-
dex of the Other.

The One Acts, In Measure, as an In.
dex of the Other.
In the course Of its continuous
growth the hair records the tide Of vi
tality as it rises and falls in the body.
When a hair is held up to the light it
may be seen to be smaller at some
places than at others. There may be a
space of one-eighth of an inch perhaps
where the hair is so thin as to appear
ready to break off.
Such spots indicate an appreciable
loss of nourishment, sleepless night
or an attack of uto-intoxication In
the last named cases the general vitali-
ty is interfered with, and the roots Of
the hair, not being developed, are not
as strong as otherwise.
The hair grows until the weight is
SO great that 1t can no longer be sus-
tanned by the root, and it drops out.
That is why hairs are Of different
lengths. Coarse hair, having large
roots, will grow long. When the vital.
ity is low all over the body the roots
are imperfectly developed, and the hair
is likely to fall out, as in cases Of ty-
phoid fever.
Dandruff is a parasitic disease, and
the parasites get down around the root
Of the hair, which becomes diseased.
That is another reason why the hair
falls out. Boston Herald.

ORIGIN OF a0LWER TWIST"
Dickens Got His Principal Characters
From Cruikshank.

Dickens Got His Principal Characters
From cruikshank.
The true story of the origin of "Oli-
yer Twist is not generally known. It
is this:
After the amazing success Of the
sPickwicS Papers Dickens was think
ing of following it up by story Of
London life. with which he was more
familiar than with English country
life. Just about that time he happened
to visit the studio Of George Cruik-
shank and was shown some drawings
the latter had made illustrating the
career Of London thief There was
a sketch of Fagin's den, with the Art
full Dodger and Master Charley Bates,
pictures of Bill Skies and his dog and
Nancy Skies and. lastly, Fagin In the
condemned cell.
Dickens was much struck by the pow.
er of these character sketches, and the
result was that he changed the whole
plot of .Oliver Twist Instead of
taking him through spiritless adven-
lures in the country he introduced him
into the thieves den in London, show
ed up their life of sin, but brought his
hero through pure and undefiled.
Thus it will be seen that George
Cruikshank, not Charles Dickens, was
the originator Of the leading charac-
tiers that appear in solver Twist
