What Jax'né‘s 'Was Reading.
“James, dear, will you bring me up
a. scuttle of coals from the cellar?"
said a busy wife.
“That’s just the way with you, said
James, with a frown, as he put down
ois book and rose from the armchair.
“Just the way with me?”
“Yes!” he snapped. “As soon as you
see me enjoying myself you have some-
thing or other for me to do. Didn’t
you see I was absorbed in my read—
ing?" .
“Well, dear; I will do it myself.”
“Yes, and tell 'everbody—your mother
especially—that you have to carry your
own coal up from the cellar. N0, I’ll
in it. Let me mark my place.”
So he marked the place in the book
it which he had ceased reading and
when he went down to the cellar,
mumbling all the way, she picked up
the volume. and found it was a love
story, and that the passage that he
ind been absorbed in was as follows:
“My darling. when you are my wife
I will shield and protect you from
rvrry care. The winds of heaven shall
i it visit your face too roughly; those
:"etty hands shall never be soiled by
:‘;?lllfll tasks; your wish shall be my
' ‘. w: your happiness—”
Just then he reappeared, and, drop-
‘n2 the scuttle upon the floor, said:
“There's your mail Give me my
cool-I.”

Brandreth’s " Pills
The difference between these pills and all other medicines is
told in the following statement of facts:
They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since 1770,.
or for nearly one hundred and thirty years.
They are purely Vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs obtainable.
They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and
no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure.
They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose
will always produce the same eflect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine. There are others who claim it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition, and then Only if the dose is a large one. In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
BRANDRETH'S PILLs are composed one-third of the best extract of same.-
parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con-
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market.
One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every
instance.
9th. They are a posxtive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the
long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache. pain in the stomach,
etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure will follow.
They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health
after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient.
No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS
—no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is kept for Two YEARS before
they are boxed to be sold. '
Except in sudden and mute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eirrht pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with
powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS. .
BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world, with and without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.

IIE FUTURE of a life insurance company can, and prep-
erly should, be judged by its success in Ihe'past. . '
No life insurance institution can be continuously suc.
cessful unless the management makes the earning quality, as
well as the safety of the investments, the first consideration
when selecting securities. '
““5 IETNA LIFE’S
Success in these particulars has been unparalleled. Not
only have the investments been of the best character, but
their intgresi earning qualities have been a great factor in
producing the well-known success cf the company.
As evidence of the goo:l judgment exercised in purchas-
ing securities, and of the great care shown in selecting lives
upon which to grant insurance, the following exhibit gives
the results obtained by the responsible Stock Management of
the IZETNA LIFE since 1850 in comparison with the results
reached by the Proxy-lllanagemeut of the Connecticut Mu-
tual since 1846.
