Saved Girl's life
"I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without

"CRITICISING A CRITIC.
Points For the Purist Who Found
Flaws In Gray's "Elegy."
To look for and find in masterpieces
little flaws, real or -Imagined, Is an oc
cupation that must have its mysterious
Joys, otherwise, as it brings no profit,
the task would not command all the
time and labor that are devoted to it,
nor would every such discovery be so
exultingly proclaimed. This condition
Is based, or, rather, its repetition, by
the letter in which a correspondent
confessed that, having heard verbal
perfection ascribed to Gray's "Elegy,"
he was moved carefully to examine th
verses on the chance of proving this
praise undeserved. And he did, he
thinks, having found no less than two
errors in the lines:
Their name, ttieir years, spelt by the un
lettered muse
The place of fame and elegy supply,
And many a holy text around she strews
To teach the rustic moralist to die.
"Name" should be "names,'' this au
thority declares, for the reason that
the stones bore not one but severa'i
names, and "many a holy text," being
singular, demands "teaches" instead of
"teach!"
Now, just why Gray put the word
"name" in the singular and not in the
plural might be made the subject of in
genious inquiry, with any one of half a
dozen sufficient explanations as recom
pense and all inconclusive, but to see
force in the diversity of village patro
nymics that requires more than inge
nuity; it demands perversity. As foi
"many a holy text," that does indeed,
the grammarians say, insist that a
verb in immediate sequence be singu
lar. Even the grammarians admit,
however, with innumerable writers oi
both verse and prose, that If the vert
be in a later clause the plural idea in
volved in "many" can properly be al
lowed to govern. Would our corre
spondent insist that when the estima
ble W. Scott, quoted by Goold Browa
in debating this very question, wrote
In Hawick twinkled many a light.
Behind him soon they set In night
the "they" should have been turned to
"it?" The change would at least be
amusing. That much can be said.
Critics of this sort never will learn
that rules for linguistic usage are not
applied to but are deduced from writ
ers like Gray and Scott, that what
such men do is right because they do
it and that no further justification is
needed. New York Times.

COUGH TWO YEARS OLD
IVields to VinoJL Read Why,
Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold. Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycross, GaU.
Bays: "I had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awaka nights for two
years and I felt tired all the time.
Yinol cured my cough and I feel
stronger in every way."
The reason Yinol is so efficacious
in such cases is because it contains
in a delicious concentrated form all
the medicinal curative elements of
cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build
ing iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, run-down system.
You can get your money back any

Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, in addition
to other ingredients, contain Pepsin and
Bismuth, two great digestive aids used by
the entire medical profession. They
soothe the inflamed stomach, check the
heartburn and distress, stimulate a
healthy secretion of the gastric juice,
aid in rapid and comfortable digestion
of the food and help to quickly convert
it into rich red blood, and thereby into
flesh, bone and muscle. They relieve
stomach distress promptly, and, used
regularly for a short time, tend to re
store the stomach to a comfortable,
easy-acting, healthy state. They aid
greatly to promote regular bowel action.
Don't neglect indigestion, for it fre
quently leads to all sorts of ills and com
plications. The pain and discomfort is
not the most unfortunate part. The fact
that when the stomach is not acting
right, the material needed to repair the
wastes that are constantly taking place
in the body is not being given to the blood
either in the proper conditica or fast
enough is far more serious. Nothing
will cause more trouble than an unhealthy
stomach. The blues, debility, lack of
strength and energy, constipation, bil
iousness, headaches and scores of other
serious ailments result from the failure
of the stomach to properly do its work.
Our willingness to have you use Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets entirely at our risk
proves our faith in them. We always
sell them this way, and it is because
we kr-OTr that they Lave greatly ben
efited scores of sufferers to whom
we have sold them. There's no red
tape about our guarantee. It means
just what it says. We'll ask you no
questions. You needn't sign anything.

that when they help you you will con
sider it money well spent even if they
had cost you ten times as much. If they
