In West Virginia Mountains Among some intensely amusing college scrapes told by k: A Gradu ate,” in the September Ladies’: Home Journal, is the story of a j certain professor, not much liked i by his pupils, who was to be mar- | ried.

On the day appoint ed the professor took the train at 10 A. M., due to arrive at Cleve land at 12:80 P. M.

Thinks he is Professor in a college. Delusion. Escort to home of friends at No.—Euclid Avenue.” This message reached its desti nation long before train No. 6 reached Cleveland, so that when Professor Finalli alighted it was to walk straight into ■ the custody of three detectives.

But how rarely this is so. Most people rise still unrefreshed, and dreading the strain of the day’s labors. The cause of this is deficient vi tality and behind this lies a defi cient supply of pure, rich blood, and an inadequate nourishment of the body. There is nothing that will give a man strength and energy, as will Dr. Pierce’s Gold en Medical Discovery. It does this by increasing the quantity and quality of, the blood supply. This nourishes the nerves, feeds the brain, builds up enfeebled or gans, afcd gives that sense of strength and power which makes the struggle of life a joy. The “good feeling” which follows the use of “Golden Medical Discov ery” is not due to stimulation as it contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. It does not brace up the body, but builds it up into a . condition of sound health.
