Doctors Give Germs in Money as Cause of Possible Am¬ putation.”— (Newspaper Clipping.) The well-known feminine financial institution known as the “first na¬ tional bank” has received a serious blow in the failure of one of these private repositories for savings be¬ longing to a prominent member of the self-banking sinter-hood residing in the state of Conncstieut. Physicians have diagnosed the case, a-, one of blood-poisoning and attri¬ bute it to germs from frequently handled bank bills. That the case will excite universal sympathy, goes without saying, but apart from that, the widespread pub¬ licity it has received is unfortunate in the disturbing effect it must have on ^enmlc banking circles. And most particularly at this when what was oijce known as tlje , weaker sev is on thevorge of • ing full political power, it is to'be gretted that, anything should happen • to shake populai confnh m. ,11 t!u ancient and honored systei* of male banking.

Think-for-Others had almost reached him when he was off again. This time he whisked into a dainty little bedroom and took a flying leap for the white Swiss curtains. From there he bounced on Think-for Others’ little white desk, Down came tumbling a pile of papers, and out flutterud the book that the Garden Lady had left It was the United State9 School Garden Army Spring Manual, and, winking at her in the most roguish way, was a round-faced potato! “*oh!

Heins, of this place, says: ‘1 have never had to use very much medicine, because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would take a close or more of Black-Draught, and it would straighten me out and make me feel as good as new. We have used in our family for years THEDFORD’S 6 m V . . RMIGHT f andjt certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw. It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my system in shape, and has never weakened me as so many physics do. 1 recommend it to my friends and am I glad to do so.” Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver medicine which you have doubtless heard much about. When you feel badly all over, stomaciVnot right, bad taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try Thedford’s Black-Draught. At all Druggists.
