THIS THE AGE OF WONDERS
Much Has Been Done, Yet Fountain
of Youth, Long Sought for, Is
Undiscovered.
We are fortunate in that we live
in an age when the incurable is be
ing made curable and the fatal made
harmless, the Philadelphia Press ob
serves. Diseases that by our fore
fathers would have been held infal
lible tickets for the long journey are
now invested with no such terrors.
We prevent yellow fever and mala
ria by exterminating two 'kinds of
mosquitoes. We vaccinate for small
poi, long a terror to the nations, and
see the death rate fall steadily. Ap
pendicitis we operate for with calm
assurance of recovery. Tumors are
excised, and radium cures cancer.
The wonders of surgery follow one
another fast. Nowadays a surgeon
will carve you a patient at any point
of anatomy, take out a vital organ,
look at it, clean it, and put it back,
ticking away as merrily as ever. The
last wonder is of course that per
formed before the biologists here
when every drop of blood was taken
from a living body and purified,
while the veins were filled with a
salt solution, and then returned,
clarified. This was “tried on the
dog;” doubtless it will soon be on
humans. But the world still waits
for something even indefatigable
science has not solved. Todav, as of
old, the fountain of youth is eagerly
sought. Not a year has been added
to the span of human life. With the
aid of surgery and medicine we may
live out the allotted time, yet no way
has been devised of adding anything
to that mortal span.

Our Evidence
There is a principle in law, that a man is innocent until he is
Droven Guilty. . , ,
There is a principle in business that a sales claim is false or ex
aggeiated until it is proven conservative and true.
In either event, it is difficult to prove the case.
The guilt or innocence of a man is proven by the testimony of
creditable witnesses.
The same is true of OUR Business,
The merits of our business is proven by Creditable Witnesses.
Our complete stock of Drugs, Toilet Articles, Prints, Rubber
Goods, and Sundries are sufficient evidence.

1 can’t decide which is the sor
riest lioy the one guilty of smoking
cigarettes, drinking liquor, totting
a little 32 Iver Johnson or using
profane language. 1 believe if you
are guilty of one you might as well
do all. Perhaps those habits was
the cause of the hobble and split
skirts. In a certain town a young
man insulten a young lady, she
had him arrested and at the trial
the young fellow was asked why
he had the talk, and his reply was,
after being told she was a nice
gii-1, that he didn’t know, as she
had on a hobble. Don’t you sei
vvliat the ideas are.
