what poker was, and five lawyers, with
cards. “Is it a game of chance?” in-

fellow is,” answered one of the law-
yers mildly,

You see, it wasn’t only the
Ayer medicines that we recom-
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
“Dear Dr. Aver:
“My little boy has improved so much
since I received your advice that I want to
write and tell you how thankful I am.
“When I first wrote on March
30, he only weighed so pounds, but now
e weighs 82 pounds; and all this gain
since the 8th of April, when I first began
to follow your directions,
“Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.

Perhaps it was the cod-
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor-
respondents need a doctor
rather than a prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them so. If
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them every
day.

what assurance can you give me that this
world is not going to be burned up!
Absolutely nome. Geologists tell us that
it 18 already on fire; that the heart of the
world is one great living coal; that it is
just like a ship on fire at ses, the flames
not bursting out because the hatches are
kept down. And yet you propose to palm
off on me, in return for my soul, a world
for which, in the first place, you give no
title, and, in the second place, for which
you can give no insurance. “Oh.” you
say, ‘the water of the oceans will wash
over all the land and put out the fire.”
Oh, no. There are inflammable elements
in the water, hydrogen and oxygen. Cally
off the hydrogen, and then the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans would blaze like
beeps of shavings. You want me to take
this world, for which you can give no pos
sible insurance, ’
Astronomers have swept their telese
through the sky and have found out that
there have been fifteen worlds, in the last
two centuries, that have disappeared. At
first they looked just like other worlds.
Then they got deeply red-they were on
fire. Then they got ashen, showing they
were burned down. Then they disap
peared, ghowing that even the es were
scattered. And, if the geologist be right
in his prophecy, then our world is to go in
sdme way. And yet you want me to
exchange my soul for it. Ah, no; it is a
