QP£9$OLIDATED SCHOOLS In Ohio the system of consolidated odtontry schools has been introduced in wveral counties and is being successful­ ly carried out The experiment re­ veals one feature of especial importance. In One consolidated district last year the average attendance of pupils was 144, . whereas from the same territory, before the districts were consolidated, the at- tendance was 125. In another instance a dlstrict which furnished only eight pupils to the separate school sent eighteen to the consolidated school Eighteen schools maintained separately under the old system furnished a daily "ayvfeage attendance at 217, but after the school? had been consolidated the aver- Age attendance was 300. * It would seem from this showing that throughout the state of Ohio, when the : schools were operated under the old sys- tMp, there must have been thousande of <^iimn<Aattending school who should haw» been. Undoubtedly it is not dif- ferent in Illinois.

There is no doubt about it It nourishes, strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks.

STORY Constipation, Torpid liver and the Blood. Belvidere, III., Feb. 5, 1901. I inherited Eczema, as my mother suffered for years with an incurable form, and I bad been afflicted with it from childhood to a mild extent. It had annoyed me for several years dur­ ing Hie summer- months. In April, 1000, the affliction was very prononnced. By rhe middle of May I was nearly incapac­ itated for business. In June I suffered to such an extent that I could get no rest under any conditions, and the tor­ ture was undermining my nervous sys­ tem and reducing physical forces to an alarming extent, and I cannot describe my sufferings. I had employed the best medical skill obtainable, but with no re­ lief until 1 began taking Dr. Tallerday'a Fruit Juice. W ithin three days my snf- t'ering began to subside and within three weeks I was much better than I had been during the summer months for years. The continued use of this medi­ cine completely cured me, removing ev­ ery sjmptom of the disease. Have rec­ ommended it to others for different blood diseases and all have been bene­ fited by its use. I make this statement purely upon the merits of *this remedy, and will be glad to answer any inquiries any sufferer wishes to ask me, if they will enclose stamp for reply. <" E. J. MUNN.
