It is estimated that the great scheme will require sixteen years for its completion, and the cost will undoubtedly run upwards of $2,000-, 000.00. As monuments, the pyra mids will be insignificant In com parison. Mr. Borglum. however, opposed the idea of carving the Mountain into a monument, but proposes in stead to reconstruct the g r eat char than was shown here in land in the War between the North and the South. forward with expectancy, represent ed in all their fitness, would revive all that was best in those heroic days and i feel that the scheme speaks for itself, and in it we give to posterity, as we only can at this hour, a true representation of those Americans. None of the work here planned will be placed upon the mountain; all scruptural work here contemplated of any kind whatso ever relating to this monument, will be cut in the living granite found in place.

Here is positive proof:— Tilden, Ill. "For five years I suf fered from bronchial asthma. In the winter time, 1 was obliged to sit in Morris chair all night, as I could not li« down, owing to that dreadful choking sensation. I tried nearly every known remedy, hot nothing gave me any relief until one day I met the Station Agent at WillisviUe. Ill., and he said he had been a suf ferer for years, but had been cured by Vinol. 1 at once commenced to take it, and the result is my cough is gone, my appetite has improved, and I can lie down and sleep all nigh?, and my experience leads me to believe that Vinol is a certain remedy for bronchial asthma." John H. Condell, Tilden, Ill. The reason that cough syrups fail In such cases is because they are paliatlve only, while Vinol removes the cause, being a constitutional remedy in which are combined the healing elements of fresh cod livers, together with tonic iron and beef peptone. It strengthens and revi talizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. (R. Thomas, Jr., Druggist.
