farm; ihe boys and girls are in
the open air. and are close to
nature.

men came from. Eighty-five per
cent, came from the farm, where
they received their strength and
ability.

is the farmer.

Contains Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians,
aa the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Ca

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon
