For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that scek- , eth findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opeued.���St. Matthew, vii.," 7, ������ These words proclaim an unchangeable, universal, eternal law of the ,Wngdom ol God. They are not a threefold repetition of a' single thought. They are rather an announcement of tha three' successive .stages in the u[h ���ward progress of the one law of desiring and obtaining. Thcscsteps arc not interchangeable. Seeking, is not asking. Knocking is neither asking nor seeking. Asking is desire; seeking is ' desire in action; knocking is active de- ���ire concentrated upon a. definite pur- < pose and plan. r/ '- The words of the text are, we bc- * ( Move, not the language of a "charac- - -" ter*^ in fiction, but an utterance of Christ Jesus. Two of their most im- , -�� pressive qualities are their unquestioning confidence and their , unlimited scope. There is no suggestion in them of doubt of the reality of the law; no ���bint of'a limit to the law in time or in ���pace or in the nature of things. Ask, ���seek, knock, at any time, anywhere and for anything, and you shall leceive, you shall find, it shall be opened to you. Painful or pleasant, good, or ���what ii thought to be evil, what you wish for, what you look for, what you work for,.you shall have. ���The lesson of the reality and the universality of the law of desiring and obtaining is hard to be learned. Like Vrther hard lessons of human life, this -^ is to be learned only by experience. Man gets opinion and belief'from observation. Experience alone brings knowledge. When one has seen the fulfilment of a law of God's kingdom in his own life, he knows that the law is a real. This is the foundation of his faith in the law and in the God expressed in the law. His faith, too, is ���the real faith, which results from real .understanding, which grows out of teal knowledge acquired by man in his < v town individual experience. No argument can shake such faith. No denial ean destroy it Once attained it is teimortaL *' w��uld- seem that, this kind of knowledge was the foundation of the faith of Jesus 'Christ in the reality and tire universality of the divine law of desiring and receiving. He believed that the law was real and unlimited because He saw and felt its operation in the concerns of His own holy life. He knew that what He asked was being given to Him; that He was finding What He sought; that the doors at -!wl��ch He knocked were opened to 'Him. He lived to do good to others. (He desired, He attempted, He planned to -do good to them, and the sick were wade well, the lame walked, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the .dumb talked, Jepera were healed, the dead were raised and broken hearts were mended. 'How could He doubt the reality of the . law when the law was fulfilled in Him- . Self? How could He question the universality of the law when He found that whatsoever good He determined . to do, and whensoever and wheresoever He determined to do it, the good vas done? This was actually receiving what He asked, finding what He sought, the opening of the doors through which He purposed to pass ! Prom the point of view of human experience there was nothing peculiar in the earthly existence of v Jesus Christ. Tested at all points as all humanity is tested," Jesus found what all humanity finds���the knowledge that results from experience, the understanding that accompanies knowledge, the power, the faith, the love that fcome from understanding. He came into this world a baby groping after power with almost aimless hands. At the end of His experience on earth He went out from ]His cross the God- man, endued with all power in earth ^jid iij heaven, Because we believe that the faith of Jesus in the reality and the universality of the law of desiring and obtaining was an outgrowth from His experience and that His experience was in no essential particular peculiar to Himself we believe the tlaw to be as real for all as it w.is for Him, as real for ourselves as it is for all others. More than this, we ourselves grow into actual faith in the roality oi the law because we find it fulfilled in our own experience, whether in the good which we have desired to do or in the mistakes which we have undoubtedly made. Whatever we may be doing, therefore, wherever we may be doing it, we will have faith that God gives to those who ask and seek and knock, and that if wc desire them and seek them, and knock for them we shall receive in due time, that is, in God's good time, all good things���all the knowledge, all the understanding, all the wisdom, all the power, all the faith and all the love of 'which Iiu- 'inanity is capable! ��� Tha report that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, tho proprietor of The New York World, lias given ��200,000 to Columbia University for the formation of a school of journalism, and has promised another -��200,- 000, in three years' time should the scheme provo successful, natuially directs attention to an experiment on a more modest scale which has for nearly a year been carried on at the City of London bchool, sayb The London' Daily Chronicle. It was tlie outcome of a convor- sition between Mr "William Hill, a distinguished journalist, who has since directed the class, and a gentleman of ���wealth keenly inteiested in the futuio of journalism, who agreed to And the funds for the enterprise. This .included a "George Stpovens Scholarship"* of ��-100, to be" awarded each year to the most pio- mislng student, who -will thus be enabled to make a tour of the world. The Invitation 'to the boys of the school to Join ,the classes i exulted In the eniol- ment of ten, and one of these by rhe ei>d of next month -will,-as the result of the examination latel> held, be in a position to start on his travels .All working jcur- rnalists are agreed that it is as hopeless to try to teach journalism in theory and by lectures as to learn swimming on dry land. Nobody appieclates this moie than Mr. Hill, and his training has been a judicious blend of theoiy" nnd practice, which, only in this particular let it be ���said, suggests Mr. Squeoi--" It will he remembeied that Mi.

In like manner (he students in tho journalistic class at the City of London School, having had reporting and sub-edltlng and interviewing spelled to them, go and do them, and have thus, even <n i l-uef time, learnt more of the calling than ���years of mere clash teaching couid have given them.

The second staire was to instruct the students in the essentials of leporting, and m addition to exercises in the classroom they have writtc-n descriptive accounts of meetings, of Uo State piocessions and the Cattle Show The accounts of the King s progress through London and the -rorii Mayoi 's I11 ocession were published Jjitne first and second numbeis-of tho Steevens Gazette,"- and these issues, running to foui and five columns, were Posted before 0 o'clock on tlie evenings Jm. days on whlchrthe events occuired. in�� boys wet-e also put through a stiff course of instruction in sub-edi ting���part of the work being performed amid the distractions of a newspaper office; tests ?. sele<-*tion of news .and the discovery of news topics have been appLed, and the indefatigable Mr. Hill actually induced three well-known1 puolic men to submit to Interviews,���ten - students at twenty1 minutes each���and to pass judgment on the results. Several specialists, 'such as Mr. H."H. S. Pearse, Dr. Horowitz, Dr. Ernst, Mr. Alfred Robbins, Dr. Robertson Niooll, and Mr. 'Frederick Greenwood, have lectured to the students on war, foreign and London correspondence, reviewing and "the higher aspects of journalism." Finally the scholars have produced, with the veriest modicum-of supervision on the part of the director, a full-sized newspaper, No. 6 of i The Steevens Gazette, which, if it were not priced at half a crown, might en- Joy a large circulation. Perhaps the best test of the training the students have enjoyed Is that already tlnee of them are engaged in actual journalistic work, Ihe'experlment Is to run for a period of three years, and already Mr. Hill is so satisfied with its success that he confidently looks forward to a great extension of the scheme on a broader basis. It is understood that eight weeks ago tho donor- of the scholarship arianged to carry over the scheme, at the close of the experimental period, as a department of the University of Technical Instruction devised by Mr. Haldane and championed some three months ago by Lord Kosebery. It will therefore be noticed that not only did London lead New York In the matter of programme, but that London will In three years' time be somewhat in the position of the United States in the matter of'general instruction 1�� journalism. A Suppressed Novel. Some tea or twelve years ago there appeared in London a book, entitled "Dr. Phillips/' the name of the author being given as "Frank Danb7,", It was a book of an exceedingly realistic dharacter, written witih extreme frankness and with intimate knowledge of a certain kind of Jewish life���fcliat is to say, the life which is led by orthodox Jews of tlie well-to- do middle class. The principal character of the book is a^Jewish physician of great talent who is married to a dull, tat, affectionate woman who is no "coitf panion for him, and who bears him no children. Dr. Phillips lives ostensibly tho life of a popular family doctor, but all the time he is carrying on,an intrigue with a beautiful Englishwoman, whom he met when she was c governess, andjvjxom he has installed in a house of her own. This dual existence leads tc complications which .become more and more difficult, especially when a young Englishman of good family and of great nttraotiveness meets Me English girl and, knowing nothing of her sitory, falls in love with her and proposes marriage. A friend of his in like manner falls in love with a young Jewess in the samej set, and rouses the horror of her intensely orthodox parents., The book throughout is'hard and cynical, but it gives some wondei fully vivid pictures of Jewish life It became known that the author of it was a woman, and it, was suspected that in Dr, Phillips she had drawn" the portrait of a well-known London physician. This person, was' so incensed that ho caused the book to be suppressed by legal means. * Not -*]onjr after." the novel era probably remember, Queen Alexandra, in a book ol "tastes," is .said U have put down millinery oa her favorite amusement. ' "For Outward Application Only." ��� "Well, Mr. Muryhy, how are you to day���better?" naked the doctor. "No,' sorr, Oi'm worse�����a full av pains as a windy," replied- Mr. Murphy. "Worse! Did you rub that stuff I sent you well in'- to the skint" "Rub It into me skin T Af coorse not, sorr. Oi saw it was labelled Fur outward application only/ to Oi just rubbed it on _me-elothes.'V Mong after," the novel was reprinted in this country in a cheap edition. It was 1 seen on all the newsstands, and'then of a sudden it'disap peered. You could-scarcely buy a copy pnywhere. Just whnt caused this dis appearance we cannot say with certainty^ but, some-years ago in these page*, we hazarded the conjecture that'its sup pression was due to the influence exer cisod by wealthy membcis of.the Jewish community, to whom some parts of il were exceedingly offensive. A numbcr.ol Jewish publications declared this supposition to be untrue, and so we let it' go at that. But if you ever happen to com* .across a copy of/'Dr. Phillips" in some second-hand book-shop, we advise you t< ;buy it, for it is a woik of exceptiona' interest and power, is the "Bookman's' 'advice. , "Frank Dauby" was a literary disciple of George Moore, and for a time she wains personal friend. For some reason* oi other, however, the,two quarrelled,'and ��� Mr. Moore had the exceedingly bad tastt [to attack her in'the pages of the Londoi ("Saturday Review." < To this attack sh< made a spirited reply; but she seems t< have been rather disheartened by thi criticism, and for', several years she wrote nothing further. Later, however she published a second novel, called ?A Babe in Bohemia," which passed throtigl several ^ editions in.JBngland, but -which so far as we know, has never, been re published in this" country. ��� She has nov produced a novel called "Pigs-in-Clover,' which the "Bookman" pronounces byfai the most powerful'and searching pie:* of fiction that has been published during the present year.

Theodore Waters, In Everybody's Magazine, says that no one, not even Mme. Curie, has yet seen radium In a pure state. It has been possible to" obtain it so far only in combination with othet material. It is judged by the effect of Its properties, which are truly remarkable. It is va product ol pitchblende, which is found deep in the earth. Most of that which lias been used for experiment came from a mine in Bohemia.

C^ CHAPTDR XXX , j , Recognizing that he had a hard ba<-\ tie before him, Claude devoted himself heart and soul to the contest he had in hand. The thought of regaining his property, and taking revenge on the knavish lawyer, was some relief to his wounded feelings. There was bafm iq action, at least, and day and night he gave his time and thoughts to'con-sulta-' tion with his lawyer and to details Ot f the proposed suit' He did not_ rely, alone on such-legal talent as the little village afforded. He retained the services of an exp.iienced and prominent lawyer from a neighboring town.^who undertook'to unravel the thread"-of villainy, which he was convinced from Claude's statements had been - perpe- ���trated by Anthony Saybiook. ( ( I The name of this lawyer was Hals- ��� tead. He was a short, keen, cool man whose sharp gray eyes and broad brow^ j Indicated unusual mental acuteness,* lAfter a careful study of the situation,,, Mr. Halsted decided on his plan of cam. paign. He Hetermined that " it ,was necesoary to undermine , the enemy's defences by counter-plots, and,"-* If possible, to cieate a defection in hie - camp that would load to a revelation ������' of the methods by which the foigery, ���- rof "the deeds had been accomplished." 'Choosing his agents -s\ ith keen Judg- > '��� ment, he sounded every person who~had In any way been employed"by lawyer Saybrook, and was not long in getting '' a hint that the widow* Giewy wouid.' , become a valuable w ltneus if she waa" won over to the \ service. And this ��� ���alas for feminine constancy'���was i. not a difficult r -.tter. Lawyer Hals- * tead, it ' appened, was_a bachelor, of ' considerable wealth. -Though verging 1' close on to si*-ty, he was still well pre- , seived, and of a gallant and vivacious '<; disposition not unlikely to Impiess the *- fancy of a susceptible and lonely widow , ��� like Mrs Grewy. Interviews were arranged. In which, ���, dlttle^by little,*��� the confldcrce of Mrs.^ ,- ' Grewy was gained, and "step by step" ���> t was learned fiom hrr every detairof ", 'the plot forr the possession of Rolff House, which her sham eais and pvps 'had enabled her to obtain, In spite of i . tne secrecy with which the lawyer and his son supposed they, had conduoted: their conferences. , ���Sr , The first intimation that lawyer Say-*--* �� brook had of the mine that had bees arranged to be sprung under the v^ryi citidal of his defences, was afforded by the retirement of the wldo^J 1 Grewy from his house and service. r* She <0 ���* refused to give any explanations, and 'Was firm against* all promises and-' , cajolements. The lawyer, In his des- ���6 "���a ife'l peration, went (even so "fan as to laj "!^5'j his hand and fortune at her feet; but��V, L It was too late.

Bel- 3 ea, postmaster here, well known and widely respected, is happy in the discovery of a permanent cure for the A Kidney pains that have troubled1 him for years. ^"1 have been bothered with Kidney Trouble for years," Postmaster Bel- yea says. "I have tried many medicines and plasters^ without getting j any lasting benefit till'hearing Dodd's1, Kidney Pills so highly spoken- of I determined to try them. They seem to have made a complete cure in my case as I feel as well as ever I was.

Thousands wilhtell you this out of their own experience. .s r "No/ no, no,'' he said at last, "I tell you young fellowj that I've made up my mind on this matter. You're none of tho kind for my Rosa. She must marry a sensible, plain fellow, with no rattlebrain notions about him. Tou don't care for her, and she's made up her mind to some one else. It will only snake trouble for you to go to sparking her again. I was a fool to allow It in (the first place. Now, don't say anything more. I've had enough of It. Tou can never have her���let that end It. No Is as good as a clubbing with me. If you can't take the first and stay awa�� from here, you may get the second to help your understanding." i I Thus Insultingly rebuffed, Claude turned away, and returned to his temporary home at old Carl Crum's utterly Did Not Want Painting. In my early days I onco tried to engage as model a big negro, who made a living out of chewing glass In sundry barrooms for the entertainment of those gathered there, writes Tom Biowne, a well-known English comio artist, In Booklovers' Magazine. "I want to paint you," I said, when he had taken round -the hat after his performance. "What oullah, boss?" he asked, suspiciously. "Why, natural color, of course," I replied. "I want to paint your face, you know." "Yah, I'se not taking any, boss," he said, firmly. "The cullah I'se got is good enough for this chile " I once nearly got hammered for making a colored sketch from life of a very respectable golf-caddy In an attitude of ease, subsequently adding a street corner as a background and sending It to an exhibition under the title of "A Loafer." The man came round to see me in a violent rage, said he was a bloomln', respectable, 'igh-clarss golf-caddy, and no loafer, and if I didn't alter the title or that dashed picture, he'd either put his solicitor on to mc or Jolly well bash me.

But the thought of ITelen Tresha.ni &ad,kept me,going, and h��d made mo brave when my own natural inclination Would havo led me to mere oowardice. While I was working in London she was (toiling away at her governess work in Bt. Petersburg, saving till that she could towards tho 'home which wo had set our minds upon making in England! At that time she used to write me hhe most eheery of letters���always bidding me hope and trust���the kiwi, sympathetic, helping ��ort of letters that good women do write to the men they love. Sometimes she Used to blame herself for living in such luxury as she did (she was goycrness to Ihe family of a Russian prince who lived in a/palace), while I was slaving n.way in dreary London chambers. But then she ���would naively add, her salary was so good that slip could save a, great deaT , of-money out of it, and every pound J ing an absolutely original i emails, that saved brought nearer the happy time. ,* lAfter I road one of her letters, I used to ���work feverishly, for I wanted her to l come back to me, and I had made "up my 'mind that* I would never'ask her to do that until I felt sure ot success. , ��� At last���what a long time it had boon, and yet how quickly we forgot it when it, was once overl���the time of waiting came to an end and our happiness began.

There was no more need to execute pot-boilers���nay, bheie was no longer necessity to work moie like a ! ������'���lave than a man.

It was at that toerkxl of my career that I painted,, my picture of the balcony scene in "Romeo and Juliet."

"And'yet���why, he took out a reg'lar handful of 'em, and just picked that out as if 'twas a penny 1" '"I suppose tho man thought he was only rewarding you in accordance with your deserts," I said.

It was an improbable thing, but drowning men catch at straws, and I was by that timo most seriously concerned at my wife's aJbsence. I told the gnl to keep dinner waiting, and snatching up my hat ran out to our fiiend's house. One word there sent me away again; Helen had not been there. But as I tuined away'a voice called me back: one of the daugh-^ ters of the house had seen her at half-- past three1 in Piccadilly. She was jusfc foing into Hatchard's book-shop/ and ad stayed a moment at the door to ���peak to her friend and to confirm out engagement for the "evening. > <��� ..

But there was design tn that, for I wanted Juliet's face to tiominate and light the wholo picture, ���von as its original had lighted my own life. So, though it -was entitled "Romeo land Juliet," it was really Juliet and no eore. I had never a doubt of its ,suc-, ss.

It had been so popular that the a/uthorities had placed l policeman before it, and on this particular afternoon he stood there looking Intensely bored, for there was absolutely nothing to oocupy him. Only one person fftood 'beforo the picture���a man, evidently a. foreigner, clad in garments that iWere presontable and no more.

It was about a month later that Helen ca'me to me one ^afternoon dressed for walking, and asked if I would go out with her for a while.

I (heard tno door close and the putter of her feet upon the stairs outside, and ,then I turned to my picture and worked steadily again. ,-.,' An hour passed and still I worked and Helen had not returned. At the end of another >'half���'hour I laid aside palette and 'brushes and made myself ready for our walk. Still she came not. I sat down and smoked, but at the end of two hours I went downstairs, and standing at the door "of our house looked along the road," hoping to catch'sight'��� of her advancing figure." - Once I thought that I saw her in the distance, and I went to ���meet her, only to ..find myself mistaken. I went back to the house and waited a while at ,the door. ��� Ten minutes passed and there was no sign of. her--coming. I went upstairs to -our rooms;and sat down^ .to'smoke in 'ray. studio. It was then" nearly three hours since she* had left me, and the afternoon-was rapidly fading into twilight. Still I did not .feel uneasy; it struok -me that she, had. met some friend or other, and made a call. She knew that I -was husily intent on my picture and should not object to being left alone with it. So I sat there smoking and reading, expectant of her voice on the stairs at, any moment.

I think I'had worked longer and harder that day than usual-^-anyhow, something induced me to sleep. The book which I was reading dropped from my hand and' I slumbered. While I slept I dreamed that Helen was in danger. 'I heard her voice crying to me for help. I had a momentary glirapso of her face, mil of pain and' fear. I woke with a start and looked oihout me. The studio was in darkness, there was no gleam of light save the faint rays of a gas lamp in the street'outsldc. Something seemed to suggest coming sorrow and trouble i tho air felt charged with it. I struck a match and lighted the gas, and at that moment the door opened to admit the parlor-maid, carrying my reading-lamp.

After a time I discarded them and turned enquiry agent on nr own nccount. It seemed to me that the clue to the mystery of.Helen's disappeai- ance lay in the strange man who had shown so keen an interest in my "Juliet." I secured the portrait of him which* the police picked up and began to loo) for him diligently. I hunted the foreign quarters of-London, I spent hours, days aye, weeks in the cafes and restaurant- ficquented by foreigners^ always seeking a face, the face of the man whose counterfeit presentment I carried In m\ breast-pocket, She'is in the fortress of St.'Peter and Paul," he answered.

Widener, the Philadelphia financier, is so immersed in business that :ic does not often find., time _ to '���wander over the grounds��� of his magnificent country place, Lynwood Hall, which is decidedly the, show place" of Pennsylvania. One day, however, Mr. Widener tad an hour of idleness, and strolled -through his hugo stables. In e. oorner toe came upon a little -.boy (the head coaohman's son) at play with a fox terser.

A gen- jtle shudder ran through the frames of fche audience. This was turned to consternation when, ten minutes later, an plderly marquess entered the apartment, nnd eagerly claimed acquaintance with (the cardinal. "But I see your eminence does not remember me," he said: "you will do so when I remind you that I was {the first person who confessed to you after you entered the service of the ���church!" A recent book, "The Log of a Cow- hoy," contains this chaiacteristlc far- RVestern story, told by one of the "cow- punchers" about the camp-fire: "I was at A dance once In Live Oak County, and there was a rough stuttering fellow there fry tho name of Lem Todhuntor.

The best general remedy for the core worm or codlin moth, accoidins to information furnished by the Vermont experiment station, ia Paris gieen. Some apple growers use London purple, others use white arsenic, hut they amount to the same thing. ,They all poison the core worms.

Whatever" is done with horses to the best advantage must be done coolly, deliberately, confidingly,' and with kindness for the best results. Whenever the horse becomes confused and excited he seemingly "loses his head," which is very liable to" lead to dangerous results, but just as long as he and his driver are on peaceable terms and understand cadi othci per- fecth there is comparatively little Sanger, even with the highest order of nervous development. As long as the horse understands that he is not to be hurt and that dn actions will come in an intelligent manner, he can be relied on, but just as soon as he loses confidence in hiS'duvcr he seems to take the responsibility of the situation upon himself, and then destruction too generally follows. The theory practised by the majority of the would-be horsemen is to force the animal to do their bidding, whether the horse understands what it is or not. But neither men nor horses can ..execute any order well without understanding just how to perform the duty, and this is acquired by cool, deliberate} careful and kind explanation without fear or punishment. Well-behaved horses arc the result of kind, careful handling, but dangerous horses arc made so by fright and fight by those who have undertaken their training Many of ..our Very best and safest horses, under similar treatment, can be made1 dangerous animals in an incredibly short tjme in the hands of an abusive, inhuman, cruel horscbi caking crank.���* Horse World. moting a beefy tendency-in the heifer. With dairy cattle the mam purpose is to promote as much as possible a predisposition to milk-giving. For this purpose we breed for milk, feed for milk, and in the care and handling we give the animal wc endeavor to promote the milk-giving functicfi all we can, consistent with health, and constitution. It has been noAced by close: , observers that if heifers, or cows even��� become too ileshy,-they are apt to fail in breeding, or if they do conceive and have a calf, there occurs, somehow,, a "set back" to their full and free milking function. "Fat and fertility are at the antipodes ol each other,'/says the author of "The Transmission of Life " When heifers are kept till they are- two years of age before getting bred,, they arc quite apt to contract a fleshy habit or tendency But, if the process of gestation is going on uith them at. the same time, it counteracts the flesh- L making tendency, and establishes the milking temperament 'Aithin them It is true that the had resulrs of late breeding in checking the milking ten- 'dency are not ncarlj as apparent in thoroughbred dairy cattle as .they arle mi dual-purpose or beef cittle The reason for this is-that the ''dairy tempera- - nient" is more thoroughly established 'in them, by long htieclity in that direction, and so holds them more- steadily to the central ^ purpose for which they are bred But there is at constant tendency to "reversion" in the very--best of' families i ' So if we keep alive and strong the dairy temperament, we should start the heifer in that road as soon as she is IS months of age What we are after in this matter, of bi ceding dairy cattle is to constantly establish and enlarge*., the dairy individuality of our animals. We like to feel that all our "'method* -" of breeding, feeding and handling arez doing their best to make of each heifer, if possible, a little better cow than ,her' mother. That is the load of dairy progress. Branching off from it and lead- r r ing away from the great central pur* ������ pose are other paths, suth as "dual ���' purpose," thej"color craze,' and an uneconomic demand for "size," etc- f_ < A writer in���Ttte Jersey Bulletin ot" , July 29, speaking en this question, says: ' , "We like them (the, heifers),, to drop ^^ their calves at two years of age.JWould" ��� prefer them to freshen at twenty -v months than to go o^ei two years. Heifers bred' ever so early with us give from 28 to 2 lbs per day, and improve-- " generally until the third calf. To,be ' sure, they will not get their full growthv^ until they are four, or five years old, and possibly may never be quite so large as if they droppedi first calf at -, v three years, but most of us know that sire does not stand for everything in a Jersey cow." , Sufficient size, say, 900 to 1,000 ;-* ' pounds",'"can be attained more surely bj . seeing to it that the" heifer is kept growing and thrifty from the time she r -' is born. * - > J) ��*q 'hi -'.II Doctors Prescribe KOU TONIG WINE Manufactured from Kola, Celery andt Pepsm, for weak and nervous people,,^ it is very invigorating, by its use lt:. enables the system to ward oH fevers,..' bilious headaches and is the greatest appetite restorer known, it is also a*. positive cure for indigestion and djs- pepsia Sold all over the Dominion- Beware of imitations Remember it - is only manufactured by The Hygiene Kola Co , 84 Church St , Sole Proprietors.
