U. for peace and arbitration, for the chil­ dren in the Sunday schools, fjoyal Temp­ erance Legions and kindergartens? its efforts to influence college students and to train and organize young women for a philanthropic life; its evangelistic work for non-chnrcngoers, railroad em­ ployes, soldiers, lumbermen, miners (especially for the drinking men of all classes), has proved its comprehensive­ ness and the tirelessness of its energy. Its efforts to reach the pauper and the prisoner, to establish reformatories and homes for the wretched victims of ine­ briety and thefr suffering children, and its temperance flower mission, must ap­ peal to every heart.

A $2,50 NEW TREATMENT FREE * Dropsy is a terrible disease. The suf­ fering in the last stages is frightful. Yet at first no disease is apparently more harmless, a little swelling of the eiyelids, feet or abdomen, but finally the unfortunate sufferer slowly drowns in the water of his own blood. Dr. Miles has made dropsy of the heart, liver and kidneys and complica­ tions a specialty for 25 years. To in­ troduce his mai-velous new Treatments he will send $2.50 worth free as a trial. Three treatments in one. The Grand Dropsy Treatment re­ lieves short breath, smothering and distress the first day, removes most of the swelling in three to six days and all of it within tw^ weeks in most cases. A permanent cure resnlts in from one to two months. Mr. R. Trimmer, Green Springs, Pa., writes: "The Dropsy Treatment restored Mrs. T. after jnany physicians pronounced her case hope­ less.*' Daniel W. Gardner. Huntington,Ind., says: "Two. months of Grand Dropsy Teatment saved my wife from the grave." John Fuller, Ithaca, Mich., writes: "Your Treatment worked a miracle! . It saved my life." A. P. Colburn, Blessing,-la., writes: "Grand Dropsy Treatment restored Mrs. Colburn after lier leg burst from dropsy." Hundreds of incurable cases enred at home after failure of from &>to 20 phy­ sicians.
