You re
Gambling !
It's too risky, this
gambling with your
cough. You take the
chance of its wear
ing off. Don’t I
The first thing
you know it will be
down deep in your
lungs and the game’s
lost. Take some of
Ayer’s Cherry Pec
toral and stop the
gambling and the
cough.
“I was given up to die with
quick consumption. I ran down
from 138 to 98 pounds. I raised
blood, and never expected to get
off my bed alive. I then read of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and began
its use. I commenced to improve
at once. I am now back to my
old weight ar.d in the best of
health.”— Chas. E. Hartman,
Gibbstown, N. Y., March 3, 1899.
You can now get Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral in a 25 cent
size, just right for an ordinary
cold. The 50 cent size is bet
ter for bronchitis, croup, whoop
ing-cough, asthma, and the grip.
The dollar size i3 best to keep
on hand, and is most economical
for longstanding cases.

Prairie Do~s In New York.
The antelopes in the New York Zo
ological Garden are not alone, says Di
rector Hornaday in the Century* Out
in the middle of their range we see
several yellow mounds of earth,
among which a dozen lively little ani
mals are scurrying about visiting or
attending to their agricultural pur
suits. Until the posting of a certain
label, many visitors believed that these
prairie-dogs had escaped from the
fenced “village” on the other side of
the walk. They represent one of a
number of experiments in wild-onimnl
colonization which for some months
have been proceeding in various por
tions of the Zoological Park. Last
year about twenty prairie-dogs were
planted in the range, on a dry hillside
where the soil was of good depth, and
were inclosed by a flimsy temporary
fence—which they laughed at glee
fully and ignored. But the fence
served Its purpose. The “dogs” began
to burrow, as was Intended, and in a
few days it was removed. These fat
little fellows, living absolutely free lu
the range, rearing their young, and
feeding on the fare that nature pro
vides, not only bring to us a bit of
the wild West, but they are also the
healthiest and llnest specimens of
thetr kind in any vivarium we know,
not even excepting the Inhabitants of
the model village fifty feet north of
the free colony. The walls of that
lnclosure go down to bed-rock, and
the eighty-foot circle Is virgin soil
which cannot cave in and smother its
inhabitants, ns frequently happens In
hand-made villages. On May 24 fif
teen young prairie-dogs, as large as
rats, were visible In the fenced village
simultaneously, and eleven In the
colony, feeding, playing, or basking in
the sun.

Deafness Caonct Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannof reach the
diseased portion of ihe ear. There is only on
way to cure deafio and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian 'l übe. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or impor
ted hearing, and when It is entirely closod
Deafness is the result, and unless tho inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
cr-usod by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One .Hundred Dollars for any

WOES OF WORKERS.
The American man or woman is industrious. Our leisure class is small,
our working world very large. Many of our leading citizens ol great wealth
are hard workers. Our laboring classes
are found in herds and hatkics in the
“hives of industry.” What is all this work
for? In most cases it is for daily bread, 1
in many fonjnaiutenance of others. Great 'fet i **'. Tij j
numbers also work to acquire wealth.
Some for great commercial prominence. M
Some to preserve intact a splendid inheri- If
tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition
are the inspiration of all classes of iudus
try, and the object of every one falls to the
ground when ill-health attacks him. pjg.' '*** '' j *yffiaS
Maintaining health is the most vital
thing in the world for workers of every A sW''
class, and the usefulness of Dr. Greene’s ftffiilgwv \l< l Vf A§ps|f
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a V
strengt-hener of the constitutional and SK\ / t 'TZs
vital powers, is beyond all question. This I /' f
great remedy enters into partnership -''s&/& %l
with Nature and helps human beings do §?/ '-*& I
their work without giving up to prema- £3
ture decay. The strain of work is on the ~L\ |H
minds of some, on the bodies of others, j sraatm -y- ' H
but the nourishing of either, or both, is H- ■ i
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts ([ ) 1 _j-—, j^
directly on the fountains of health and r-ry^-Spr- ■ '■ZiSS&L —j
its strengthening power is wonderful.
Dr. Greene’s TOl||tlS|ff
NERVURA 1
for the Blood and Nerves. u V
What does the worker do when some chronic a WA.-is
trouble manifests itself ? lie takes some stimulant or % \
something which is designed for temporary effect, and
simply weakens his already overworked system. llow
different from this is tha work of Nervura! How
beautiful its support to the natural powers! With- j|
out shock of any kind its purely vegetable elements
seek out the weak spots and build them up. lrnme- ■
diately the circulation of the blood improves and the sluggish
elements arc expelled. The nerves are quieted, the quality of
the blood is enriched and the new and strengthening tide communicates itself
to every muscle of the body.
Mr. JOHN D. SMITH, Electrician for the Thomson-Hcuston
Electric Cos., of Lynn, Mass., says:
“ When a man has been sick anil is cured, it is his duty to tell others about it., that they,
too may get well. Three yeai-s ago I had been working almost night and day, could no*
catregularly, and got only a few hours’ sleep at night. No man can stand that long, and I
soon began to I could not sleep when I tried, and my food would not stay on
my stomach I was in a terrible condition, and wus much alarmed.
“I went to doctors, but they did mo no good. Learning of the wonderful good done by
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try it. It cured mo com
pletely of all my complaints. I eat heartily and sleep well, thanks to this splendid medicine.
1 believe it to be the best remedy in existence.”
Dr. Greene, Nervura’s discoverer, will give all health sookero his
counsel free of charge. His office is at 86 West 14th Street, New York
City, and his advice may be secured by personal call or by letter
through the mail; no charge in made in either case. The worn-out in
