Forced Into Exile.

lung-racking cough that had defied all

steps. “Then 1 began to use Dr. King’s
New Discovery,’’ he writes, “and after
taking six bottles I am as well as ever. ”

Dear girls, don’t be so often wishing
you were grown up that you will neglect
your girlhood. In the rush and hurry
of these fast times there is danger that
rou will reach and strain after “young
adyhood’’ too much. Be girls awhile
yet—tender, joyous, loving, obedient,
industrious. V^omanhood with its priv
ileges and power, its burdens and its
trials, will come soon enough. On this
point one has said: “Wait patiently,
my children, through the whole limit of
your girlhood. Go not after woman
hood; let it come to you. Keep out of
public view. Cultivate refinement and
modesty. The cares and responsibilities
of life will come soon enough. When
they come, you will meet them, I trust,
as true women should. But, oh, be not
so unwise as to throw away your girl
hood. Rob not yourself of this beauti
ful season which, wisely spent, will
brighten all your future life.’’
Kills Her Foe of 20 Years.
“The most merciless enemy 1 had for
20 years,” declares Mrs. James Duncan,
of Haynesville, Me., “was Dyspepsia.
1 suffered intensely after eating or
drinking and could scarcely sleep. Af
ter many remedies had failed and sev
eral doctors gave me up, 1 tried Electric
Bitters, which cured me completely
Now I can eat anything. Iam 70 years
old and am overjoyed to get my health
and strength back again.” For Indi
gestion, loss of Appetite, Kidney Trou
ble, Lame Back, and Female Complaints,
it is unequaled. Only 50c. at all drug
gists.
