The text WUB telected for the sermon
several weeks before his death by Mr.
Howard, as also were the hvmns. In
terment w.'iS made at Wiklwood, in the
Howard lot. Like thousands of other
men, born under favorable and un
favorable circumstances he fell and
what might have been an honorable
position in society he pushed all, choos

us all throw the mantle of charity over
his imperfections nn>l look back to the
days when h > was a young man, big
hearted and ready to do his fellow
man a g< od turn and defend the weak.
We lived for ye ira i.s a neighbor and
remember very many kind acts that
will cover a multitude of sins. During
his long : llness, which was no doubt
his salvation, he repented of his pins
and died in tho Faith. His lifo would
make a book. Let us all tru.-.t his sou!
is at rest.

One Million Dollars
for a Good Stomach
This Offer Should be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical journals
have had much to say relative to a
famous millionaire's offer of a million
dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was two
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable. His misfor
tune should serve as a warning to
others. Every one who suffers from
dyspepsia for a few years will give
everything he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing—Pepsin. The
absence of this destroys the/unction of
the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the pep
sin in a form almost identical to that
naturally created by the system when
in normal health, so that it restores to
the gastric juices their digestive power,
and thus makes the stomach strong
and well.
We want every one troubled with in
digestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain a box of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablet?. They contain Bis
muth-Subuitrate and Pepnin preparf r|
by a process which develops their
greatest power to overcome digestive
disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepnia Tablets are very
pleasant to tabe. They soothe the ir
ritable, weak stomach, strengthen and
invigorate the digestive organs, relieve
nausea and indigestion, promote nutri
tion and bring about a foeling of com
fort.
If you give Rexaii Dyspepsia Tablets
a reasonable trial we will return your
mo ey if you are not eatisfied with the
'result. Three ahrca, 25 cetlts, 50 cents
•ind §I.OO. Remember you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in Rochester only at
cur store—The Rexall Store. The Em
porium Drug Co.

A Modern Financier.
A good story comes to us from one
of our neighboring counties,concerning
a certain farmer, who came to town
recently with a lot of butter to sell,
tie disposed of his goods to one of the
town merchants at thirty cents per
pound and when last seen was driving
towards home with a package of oleo
in his wagon. That man has no busi

chair in Wall Street and he's the man
to fill it.
