The Ago of Birds,
Mr. J. H. Gurney, in an article In
the Ibis, discusses a number of facts,
collected from various books and pa
pers, regarding the age to which birds
live. Mr. Dresser, in his “Birds of
Burope,” gives an instance of a raven
having lived sixty-nine years. Mr
Meade-Waldo has in captivity a pair of
eagle owls, one of which jz sixty-eight
and the other fifty-three years old.
gince 1864 these birds have bred regu-
larly, and have now reared ninety-
three young ones, A Batelur eagle and
a condor in the Zoological gardens at
Amsterdam are still alive at the re-
spective ages of fifty-five and fifty-two.
An imperial eagle of the age of fifty-
six, a golden eagle of forty-six and a
sea eagle of forty-two, and many other
birds of the age of forty downward
are also recorded.

AGE
Means misery on the eve of life. Nine out
of ten old people are constipated because the
muscles of their intestines have become
weak, worn out and flabby. Constipation
is the curse of old age, causes bile and
acid poisons to remain in the blood, making
the skin yellow and wrinkled, the eyes
bleary and causing the “bones to ache.”
Keep the bowels strong, healthy and regular
and old age loses all its terrors and weak-
nesses. No reason why grandpa and
grandma shouldn't have bright eyes, and
ciear ruddy skin and feel lively and active,
if they will only keep their bowels open and
vigorous with CASCARETS CANDY
CATHARTIC, the greatest bowel tonic
ever heard of. Try them today—a 10c
box—and find that the tortures of consti-
pated old age are
