Story bf a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: “ My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters,' she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own work. ’3
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
lessness, me ancholy, headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a. godsend
to 'weak, sickly, “run down people."
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

For the Right One.
\Vhon the Bayonne 'came to Phila-
delphia r-rw'c'n-tly, it had a pet, an or-
dinary black and white pussy, whose
ilil‘tllpifll‘e was far beyond the Italian
Alps. The cat was a present to Cup-
'tia.in Von Hugo, and had accompanied
him on Several voyages.
While the big oil tanker was load-
ing its cargo at Point Breeze, to the
horror of the captain and the conster-
nation of the steward, who was chart,-
ed with its keeping, the animal disap-
peared the day after presenting to the
ship four beautiful kittens. Well 01'-
ganized parties searched the tanker
from stem to stern, and thoroughly ex—
plored the streets mulwvharve-s around
the oil \‘i’fll'ii. but all to no avail. Pus
sy was gone and with much regret
Captain Von Hugo was obliged to
make soil without his old companion.
Two days. after the Bayonne left.
the prodigal returned. Running down
on the wharf. it cast anxious glances
at the big bark Steinbeck, which now
occupied the pier formerly held by tho.
Bayonne. Visiting in succession every
ship in the vicinity. the instinct of
the cut forbade it boarding any- of
them, and. finally. giving: up in de-
sp'afi'r. it cast its lot in the watch box
of W’ntchmnn Manly, seemingly rec-
onciled to the fact that it must await
the appearance of the absent oil ship.
\thn the oil ship was still far down

sy took her position at the end of the
wharf. showing by a thousand antics
that the oncoming: craft was the one

th3 anything stands a test of over sixty years among a discriminating
people like the Americans, and steadily increases in rule, it is pretty good
evidence that there is merit somewhere. Such is the record of Brandreth’s
Pills.
In 1836, one year after they were introduced into the United States,
135,000 boxes were sold; and in 1897. 1,123,097 boxes were sold in this
country alone, nod? to speak of the large and increasing sales throughout the
world, where they have been on. sale since I770—-—nearly one hundred and .'
thirty years. Does'nt this speak volumes for the virtues of Brandrcth's Pills? '
That they actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have uscd them the longest.
Brandrcth's Pills are purely vegetable, and are made of the highest class
goods obtainable. For two you r3 every pill lies in the storehouse before it is
put on sale. TE: :5 3‘11 ms the medicine to mellow and soften, and explains
why the cathartic action of lirandrcth’s Pills is so certain and so easy. The
system ncvcr becomes inurcd to them, they can be taken indefinitely, and if
stopped at any time, the lunczions will proceed to act in a natural manner.
They are the safest medicine to take yourself and the safest to give your
children. Sold throughout the world, both plain and sugar coated.
