All remedies failed to relieve her until she tried Electric Bitters. After taking it two months, she wrote: "I am now wholly cured and can eat anything. It is truly a grand tonie for the whole system as I gained in weight and feel much stronger since using it." It aids digestion, cures dyspepsia, improves appetite, gives new life. Only 50c.

I recently chose a favorable day and went odor-hunting, says the naturalist, Dr. Charles C. Abbott, in the October "New Lippincott." It was no childishf whim nor aimless undertaking. What in the minds of many is the freak of a fool may have weightier purpose than the crowd wots of. I have always known sweet birch and sassafras, spice- wood and pennyroyal, but these are but four of a full four hundred. Delightful as are the odors of oak and hickory, they must yield to the walnut, and all give place, perhaps, to the white crowns of balm or dingy clusters of aromatic yar­ row. The long, narrow knolls that div­ ide the wide marsh meadows, and that only the greater floods shut out from view, appeal at present to neither eye nor ear, but stoop low and sniff the damp Air that rests upon the dead grass, and these same knolls will prove something Very different from what you supposed. So doing, you discover the Spice Islands. All your life you thought them in the far-off Indian Ocean; but here they are, too, in the valley of the Delaware, as they are, aho, in the valleys of 'all our rivers. The Saturday Evening Post for Sep­ tember 29 is a special double number. The plan of the Saturday Evening Post is to give each week a magazine of the .best current literature that will be equal in literary quality and illustra­ tion to the monthlies. The cover of this double number is by Gibbs, and is in color. The opening feature is the first installment of Gilbert Parket's new serial, The Lane That Had No Turning. Those who have read this story pro­ nounce it the strongest work that Mr. Parker has yet done. United States Senator, Albert J. Beveridge, of Indi­ ana, has a brilliant paper on Facing the" ? World at Fifty, in which he marshals an imposing array of successes after the half century mark has been passed. Major James B. Pond contributes two pages of reminiscences of Mark Twain, giving for the first time letters and anecdotes referring to his last lecture tour across the American continent. The short fiction of the number includes complete stories by Ian Maclaran, Lilian Quiller-Couch, Gertrude F. Lynch and Madeline Bridges. Honorable Champ Clark has a lively article on Stnmping in Old Missouri. There are install­ ments of Mooswa of the Boundaries, W. A. Fraser's animal story, and of the The Eagle's Heart, Hamlin Garland's novel of the far West Oh the page de­ voted to Men and Women are stories of people prominent in the public e_, e. The editorial page treats of polities, the census, and other current themes The "Publick Occurrences" tells how, through coal and gold, the United States has captured the supremacy of the world. Besides these attractions there are articles giving the latest scien­ tific discoveries, Secretary Wilson's views of Farming as a Business, Old- Time Minstrel Men, With new stories and anecdotes; the latest gossip about books and literary people, and snort art- and sketches. Chamberlain's Couch Remedy a Great Favorite. The soothing and healing properties of this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and permanent cures have made it a great fayorite with people every­ where. It is especially prized by mothers of small children for colds, croup and whooping cough, as it al­ ways affords quick relief, and as it con­ tains no opium or other harmful drug, it may be given as confidently to a baby as to aa adutt.
