a happy bride, just beginning a
home life of her own with her
devoted husband, she was sum
moned to lay down life's burdens
and cares, to turn away from all
its joys and bright prospects, and
cross over the dark river and en
ter into the restjthat rmaineth for
the people of God. Without a
murmur she obeyed the summons
for she was ready.
A beautiful and aimable christ

express profound and heartfelt
sympathy for the sorrowing hus
bend and kindred, and earnestly
pray that God may be their refuge
in this hour of trial,and that his
grace may sustain them.
A brief funeral service was con

body was laid to rest in Oakwood

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.
For those who have and form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it, try this:
Flu'd Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounces; Compound Largon, one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparillia, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meaLand
at bedtime. Any good pharmccy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, whin
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment;" by others, the "Cyclone
Blood Purifier." It acts gently, and
certainly does wonders for some peo
ple who are sickly, weak and out of
sorts, and Is known to relieve serious
longstandin6 cases of and
chronic backache puiekly.
Mrs. Foraker denies that she
aspires to the presidency of the
D. A. R. She probably thinks
one presidential boom in the
family at a time, is enough.
This is worth saving.
The following simple homemade mix
ture is said to relieve any form of Rheu
matism or backache, also cleanse and
strengthen the Kidney and Bladder,
overcomes all urinary disorder, if taken
the stage ofßright's disease: Fluid
Extreck Dandelion, one-half onces'
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syroup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottel and
tukel in teespoonful doses after meals
and at bedtime.
A well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly of vege
table extracts and harmless to use, and
can be obtained at small cost from any
good prtscsiption pharmacy. Those
who thidk they have Kidney trouble or
suffer with lame back or weak bladder
or Rheumatism should give this pre
crip tion a trial, as no harm can pos
ibely follow its use, and it is said to
do wonders for seme people.
Home-made Catarrh Cure.
Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given to the fol
lowing prescription, it is suppored, be
cause of its promptness in driving from
rhe blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease,no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bed time.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to flltnr and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous menobfabe,
and an open sore of catarrh is the re.
Prepare some and try it, as it'is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe
cialist of natioeal reputation.
