Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup Same into existence in 1852, and from that time to the present it has grown in the confidence and estimation of its yearly increasing number of users. Through all these years it has steadily grown in popular favor. Its wonderful building up power is shown in the experience of Mrs. C. . Chadwick, Seale, Ala. "I was all run down in health," she says.

One day three little girls of our town were talking among themselves about the war, and wishing that they might do something to help win it. Presently one of them, who hadn t had much to say, but all the while thinking, raised her head and said; "Oh, I have an idea, let's organize ourselves into a little band to be known as 'Uncle Sam s Little Red Cross Workers,' and we'll do every u: or. tn hrtn the Red Cross, for it is surely helping to win the war." The band was organized, with the fol lowing officers: .... Since that day, these three girls haye . been doing everything they could to help the Red Cross. They have had Rummage " aales and have sold ice crram etc, and about two weeks ago they sent the Secre- r - riiantn. a rliM-lc fnr Sol -70. They say they want to help uncie - Sam in every possible way, and are going to continue this work, and hope soon to ' raise $38.24, which will make a round $100.00, as they don't want to stop short of this amount .
