Gained Forty Pounds in Thirty Days
For several months our younger

but got no benefit from them. We

thirty days be had gained forty
pounds in flesh. He is now- fully
recovered. We have a good trade

Do Good H Pays.
A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds some of the latter are
worthies. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and loud a helping
baud. You cannot possibiy lose by
it." Most meu appreciate a kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are persons
in this community who might truth
fully say : "My g'Kid friend, cheer
up. A few dosoa of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy wdl rid you of your
