CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS

Eight years ago when we first
moved to NATION, was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion and constipa-
tion,' writes Mrs. Robert Allison,
Nation, Ill. ct had frequent head
aches and dizzy spells, and there was a
feeling like heavy weight pressing on
my stomach and chest all the time. I
felt miserable. Every morsel of food
distressed me. I could not rest at
night and felt tired and worn out all
the time. One bottle of Chamberlain g
Tablets cured me and I have sine felt
like a different person.

MOSQUITO a Pestiferous Insect.

Moral philosophers, OF course, mean.
Ang. those who have more morality than
philosophy, have undertaken to explain
the purposes of mosquitoes, observes a
writer in the Providence Journal. On
the suggestions theory that nothing ID
nature is without a beneGcent purpose
we used TO be told leaTnedly that the
mosquito consumed malaria germs and
other things in the air, and so proved
himself kind friend to man. In view
of the good thus conferred, the incl
dental stinging done by the insect was
TO be considered lightly.
People who used to talk this way
have been doing less Of it in recent
years, having learned, perhaps, Tint il
was nonsense. It has been demon
etrated that the mosquitoes fayorite
habit is TO load up his system with poi
son OF some sort or another and then
seek out some human victim to lnocu-
late. From all appearances this is the
only joy that life affords to a mosquito,
and it IS all that is accomplished bg
him during his brief lifetime except
to provide an ample number Of de-
scendants to carry on the work.

as a mean and undetermined attack on
