Kitten Grey.
Kitten Grey did not know how large
the world really was until her little mis*
tress took her to the country far the
summer.
Kitten had always lived in a city
where there was only n small yard and
no trees for the birds to sing in. so when
she saw the country and the fields and
trees and all the birds and chickerts she
felt sure they were all made for her. Kit
ten Urey began at once to enjoy herself.
She liked best to run in the barnyard,
and If some one was not near to stop
her she would be very bad and catch a
poor little chick before it could get un
der cover of its mother’s wing.
Sometimes the old mother hen would
chase Kitten Grey, but that frightened
her only for the time, and even the old
red rooster with his spurs failed to keep
bitten tires from the barn yard
If something had not been done to cure
her of her bad manners Kitten Ger.v
would have been sent back to the hot
city to spend the rest of the summer
on the pavements with only the janitor
where she lived to look out for her com
fort Hut something did happen und I
will tell you about ft.
Kitten Grey's little mistress cried when
she was told Kitten might have to be
sent home. So the farmer where they
were spending the summer thought of a
way to cure Kitten and make her keep
away»from the chicks.
One day when Kitten thought no one
was looking nhe ran into the barnyard,
the ehldks acMtnpered away to their
mother, and Kitten thought she had lost
a good dinner, hut all at once she spied
on# little yellow chick standing under
a bush, and naughty Kitten ran and
caught it in her paw.
She picked up the |>o*>r little thing In
her mouth atid ran behind a barrel,
where she thought no one would see her.
In a minute she came running out, and
ground and around the barnyard she flew
gs if some terrible thing was after her.
The hens and chickens clucked and
ran away, watching Kitten Grey, think
ing she hafl gone quite mad.
Out of the bitrnyard ran Kitten and
into the woods, over and oVer she rolled
In cooling moss, and by and by she sat
up and began to wash her face.
Her eyes were wild look*hr. and she
Jumped at every sound; even the birds
which flew ver> near to Ktttea .lid not
tempt her in fact, she tried R. get as
for fram them as she could, for Kitten
Gerv never wanted to see another chick
or bird She had been cured
The little yellow chick in the burnt ard
wa* made of cotton and'the Tanner had
managed to jntf some sticky glue on it,
with a little red popper sprinkled on. so
that when Kitten Grey giabUd the chick
SQUIRREL FOOD
in her mouth she could not let go until
the pepper had done Us work.
Poor Kitten Grey thought her nose was
on fire, and then that all the needles in
the world were in her mouth. She did
'nt know where to go or what to do, and
when at last she found herself in the
woods she wondered how In the world
she happened to be there.
-Ozf p/ctre# **> r/rs roo*

All at once she thought of the yellow
chick, and Kitten Grey knew she never
again wanted a chick for a meal.
The birds and the chicks were safe, as
far as Kitten was concerned, for the rest
of the summer, anc Wttten never went
into the barnyard Again.

Georgia Folks Give Their Testimony
There are so many people in every
city, town and hamlet in the United
States who have been benefited by Dr.
Pierce’s medicines that it is nothing
new to see their testimony in print.
Mrs. E. A. Watson of 120 Current
St.. Atlanta. Ga„ says: “T have taken
Mrs- E. A. Watson.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical Discovery, and hav
ing received so much good from them
would say that he has not exaggerated
In the least in what he claims for
them. I first took the 'Favorite Pre
scription' for a weakened and very
much run-down constitution, also an
excited, nervous state. Was so ex
citable that I eould not sleep well and
when I would doze off would easily
awiaken. But five bottles of the 'Fa
vorite Prescription’ gave me most de
cided relief. It is an excellent tonic
and relieves tired and excited nerves.
Later, I took the 'Golden Medical Dis
covery' for a cough which was so se
vere that I had to go to bed from the
exhaustion occasioned by coughing
spells. With the cough and cold I
had a severe sore throat, inflamed to

such a degree that I could hardly
swallow. The ’Discovery’ Is the great
remedy for coughs and colds and the
’Favorite Prescription’ is the one rem
edy for women.”
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery and Favorite Prescription can be
obtained in liquid or tablet form, and
are herbal extracts without alcohol or
narcotics. Their ingredients are print
ed on the wrappers.
If not obtainable at dealers send
SI.OO to Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel.
Buffalo, N. Y., and he will send large
package of tablets.
Mrs. L. Carlyle, residing at 204 Park
Ave. W., Savannah, Ga., says: “Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery I
praise highly as it was the means of
my return to health when I was great
ly run-down and lacked vigor, strength,
blood and nerve tone. I was simply
a nervous wreck—lacking in vitality
and had grown quite thin* I could
not gain in flesh as I was suffering
from indigestion and gastritis. My
liver was very Inactive and ip conse
quence my food, would ferment and
create a great amount of gas. My
nervous system was deranged also anil
I did not sleep well at night. The
’Discovery’ certainly met Dr. Pierce’s
claims. After I had taken four bottles
it corrected my constipation in addi
tion to restoring my health "
Mr. O. T. Hair of Augusta, Ga., says:
“I have taken Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery with very satisfactory
results for a cough and cold. The
cough was of a very aggravating na
ture, disturbed me day and night, and
had more or less influence on the
heart. I coughed hard, incessantly,
and raised a great quantity of thick
and stringy sputum. My friends con
cluded that I had consumption, as my
cough was so harsh and so persistent.
The ‘Discovery’ surely gave me de
cided relief. It is an old ‘stand-by* of
mine and my faith in it has never
wavered-”
