Years come and go ;
Waves form and break, ,
Ebb follows flow ;
Stars sleep and wake
Even so,
One by one
From out the dark
Souls emerge;
Thro the dusk they steer
Unto life's verge, .
Then disappear
Into the dark,
One by one!
Hark! hark!
The birthday beri
And the slow, sad dirge
Join swell to swell :
rur me oegun,
For the race that's run,
One by one! '

It Saved My Life"
is a common expression, often heard
from those who havo realized, by per
sonal use, the curative powers 'of AyerV
Cherry Pectoral. I cannot say enough
In praise of Ayer's Cherry Tectoral, be- ,
lieving as I do that, but for its use, I
should long since hare died from lung
troubles. E. Bragdon, Palestine, Tex.
About six months ago I had a severe
Hemorrliage of the Lungs, brought on
by a distressing Cough, which deprived
ftic of sleep and rest. I had used vari
ous cough balsams and expectorants,
without, obtaining relief. A friend ad
vised me to try
. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, ajvl am happy to say that it
helped mo at once. l!y continued use
r this medicine cured my cm:gh, and, I
am satisfied, saved mv life. Mrs. K.
Cobnru, 18 Second st., Lowell, Mass.
I havo used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
for over a year, and sincerely believe, I
should have been in my grave, had it
not been for this medicine. It has cured
me of a dangerous affection of the luns,
for which I had almost despaired of eor
finding n remedy. D. A. iicMulkn,

Perfeot Hair
Indicates a natural and healthy condi
tion of the scalp, and of the glands
through which nourishment is obtained.
' When, in consequence of age and dis
ease, the hair becomes weak, thin, and
gray, Ayer's Hair Vigor will strengthen
It, restore its original color, promote Its
rapid, and vigorous growth, and impart
to it the lustre and freshness of youth.
I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a
long time, and am convinced of its
value. When I was 17 years of age my
hair began to turn gray. I commenced
using the Vigor, and was surprised at
the good effects it produced. It not
only restored the color to my hair, but
so stimulated its growth that I nave
now more hair than ever before.
J. W. Edwards, Coldwater, Miss.
Ayer's Hair Vigor,
Bold by all Druggists and Perfumers.
If you jlrk sumsnta from dehility
and loss of appetite; if your stomach la
out of order, or your mind cenfused;
take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine
will restore physical force and elasticity
to the' system, more surely and speedily
than any tonic yet discovered.
For six months I suffered from lirer
and stomach troubles. My food did not
nourish me, and I became vreat and
very much emaciated. I took six bottlr
of Aver's Sarsaparilla, and vraa cured.

Scrofula
Is one of the most fetal scourges which
aflict manUnd. It U often inherited, but
may be the result of improper vaccination,
mercurial poisoning, uncleanllness, and
various other causes. Chronic Sorts,
Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerouj Humors,
and, in some cases, Emaciation, and Con
sumption, result from a scrofulous condi
tion of the blood. This discs can b
cured by the use of Ayer's SirtspxriH.
I Inherited a scrofulous condition of the

Some months sgo I was troubled with
Scrofulous Sores on my leg. The limb
was badly swollen and Inflamed, and the
sores discharged large quantities of offen

three bottles of this medicine the sores
have been entirely healed, and my health

good this medicine has done me. Mrs
