WORK FOR MOTHER
They Caused Mrs. David Harris To
Be All Run Down Till Wentworth
Came To The Rescue.

A royal friend of overworked wo-
men is this famous family tonic One
of the very strongest proofs of its
wonderful merits is the following
statement made to the Wentworth
druggist at New Castle, Pa, a short
time ago:
New Castle Pharmacy-My wife
has suffered from severe nervous trou-
Bile for four years. Could not sleep
and get any rest. Was all run down
from looking after my twin boys, four
years old, and another pair of twins
nine months old. She doctored a great
deal but got no relief. Through a
friend she was advised to take Nerv-
Worth. | purchased bottle and she
at once began to improve. And now,
after taking the second bottle she has
lost all nervousness and is rapidly
gaining in weight and strength. We
surely recommend Nerv- Worth as it
has been a blessing to US.

many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney e.

ANNOUNCE EMIT,

We wish to announce to the public
that PROF. LYNN STEPHENS has
associated himself with us in the capa-
CITY of General Sales Manager. AS
is well known Mr.. Stepens has had a
lifelong experience in the music busi-
ness, and is an authority on judging
piano quality. This connection has
been brought about after long consid-
Grafton between Mr.. Stephens and Mr.
Cramer. 1t has been the desire OF
both to handle the Old Reliable Line
which they sold for many years at
Birely's Palace of Music. This cor
nection brings together two of the
widest experienced piano men in this
section. Remember, we are in a posi-
ton to save you money. We buy IN
immense quantities for cash, and our
expenses are cut down by our Variety
Stores. We do not depend entirely on
the piano business. Buy from an old
reliable piano man-who sells an old
reliable line-With an old reliable
house-then you know you are right.
Let US send one to your home on free
trial
