Never Admit Defeat
Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down and have
not a cent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be n man, to hold your head
up and look the world In the face; step
bravely to the front whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for you.
No one will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you pos
sess the qualities requisite for suc
cess. Never allow yourself to be a
traitor to your own cause by under
mining your self-confidence.
There never was a time before when
persistent, original force was so much
in demand as new. The namby-pam
by, nerveless man has little show In
the hustling world of to-day. In the
twentieth century a man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights and has the power to
demand and take them if denied him.
No one can respect the man who slinks
in the rear and apologizes for being in
the world. Negative virtues are of no
use In winning one’s way. It Is the
positive man, the man with original
energy and push that forges to the
front.—Success.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The Best Prescription Is Grove's
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle*
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.
Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi
cine if you knew what it contained. Grove’s
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Grove’s is the
Original and that all other so-called “Taste
less” chill tonics are imitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Grove’s is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove’s—its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove’s is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 500
