Dfc Shoop's
Rheumatic Cure
Costs Nothing If Jt Falls.
Any honest person who Bailors from Rheuma
tism la wclcomo to this offer. For years I
icArohed everywhere to And a Bpcclflc lor Rhcu
matlsm. For nearly 20 years I worked to this
end. At last, in Germany, my search was re
warded. I found a costly chemical that did not
disappoint me as other Rheumatic prescriptions!
nau aisappomtcd pnysicians cvcrywncrc,
J do not mean that Dr. Bhoop's Rheumatic
Cure can turn bonv joints Into flesh again. That
Is impossible. But It wlU drlvo from the blood
tho poison that causes pain and swelling, and
then that is tho end of Rheumatism. I Know
thft so well that I will lurnish for a full month
my Rheumatic Cure on trial. 1 cannot cure all
cases within a month. It would be unreasona
ble to expect that. But most cases will ylchl
within 80 days. This trial treatment will con
vince you. that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure Is-a
power against Rheumatism a potent force
against dlseuso that is Irresistible.
My offer is made to convlnco vou of my faith.
My faith la but the outcomo oi experience ol
actual knowledge. I know what it can do. And
I know this so Well that 1 will lurnish my rem
edy on trial. Simply write me a postal for my
book on Rhpumatism. I will then arrango witli
a druggiat in your vicinity so tbatyou'ean se
cure six bottlcB of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Curo
to make the test. You may take It a full month
on trial. If It succeeds tho cost to you Is 85.D0.
If it' falls the loss is mine and mino alone. It
will bo left entirely to you. I mean that ex
actly. If you 6ay the trial Is not satisfactory I
don't pxpect a pouny from you.
I havo no Bamples. Any merosamplo that can
affect chronic Rheumatlbm must bo drugged to
tho vcrgo of danger. I uso no such drugs lor It
Is dangerous to tuko them. You must vet tho
disease out of the blood. My remedy does that
even In tho most difficult, obslinato cast's. It
has cured tho oldest cases that I ever met, and
in all of ray experience, In all of my 2,000 tests, I
never found another remedy thut would curo
ono chronic case In ten.
Wrlto mo and I will send you tho book. Try
my remedy for a month, for ft can't harm you
anyway. . If it fails tho loss Is mine.

Mild cases not chronic aro often cured by ono

Tf.medy for constipation in children
and adults, is bran tea, made bv put
ting a handful of good, fresh bran in)
about a pint or boiimg water ana
steeping it a- few minutes. For an
adult, a cupful of the bran water is
not too much, and more will not hurt;
take it regularly, for a, week or more.
An excellent remedy for whooping
cough is said to be a tea made by
steeping sunflower seeds and sweeten
ing to taste. I believe it is harmless,
and no danger of drinking too. much.
Another remedy is powdered black

Balb Planting.
This is the month i which the flor
ist sends out his gay-colored catalogue
and when it reaches you, tho sooner
you make out a list of what you want
and send it in, the better service you
will get, and the finer bulbs. Late
September or early October is the time
for potting the Roman hyacinth for
Christmas and New Year blooming,
and latelr plantings may be made for
a succession of bloom until Easter
flowers are in demand. Except the
Chinese Sacred- Lily, no bulb forces
so readily as' the Roman hyacinth;
the bulbs are inexpensive, grow read
ily, bloom freely, last longer on the
plant, are of many shades of color,
and are dellciously fragrant.
Narcissus are fine for forcing, and
come into bloom very quickly; they
should be treated tbe Bamq as the
hyacinth. Paper White, Von Sion and
Double Roman are three of the most
satisfactory for forcing. Paper White
Narcissus will grow in a dish, with
only water, and pebbles or shells to
hold it in place. The Chinese Sacred
Lily is of the narcissus family, and is

It makes a lovely window plant, filling

house culture is tho Johnsonii. If

A correspondent asks: "What i
Mental Sclonco? Is Mental Scicnco and
Christian Science the same?"
Mental science and Christian science
are not synonymous terms. As I un
derstand it, mental science teaches
that tho soul, or mind, has absolute
control over tho hody; that it can
make the body it lives in obey its or
ders. Your thought, or auto-sugyjs-tlon
(suggestions to your self) as it is
called, takes possession of your sub
jective mind, as wo will say, which
never tires or sleeps, but carries out
tho orders of the higher power. The
auto-suggestion must be positive, and
you must rely on it entirely. Many
people do this who never heard of
mental science. Ono goes to bed at
night with the thought in his mind
that ho must awake at a certain hour
hour in the morning; it may, for some
special purposo, be an unusual hour;
trusting entirely to his ability to do
this, he goes to sleep, as usual, and,
punctually to the desired moment, b
awakens. The subjective mind, which
receives tho order from the Ego, and
which never sfeeps, awakens him.
When one is sick and determines in
his own mind, as wo say, that he will
gpt wfh any way, and leaves that de
termination undisturbed, trusting to
the power within him to bring about
this effect, he has great odds in his
favor, and sometimes the influence is
marvellous in ita results. We know
that tho one who does not fear disease,
generally escapes infection. Any phy
sician will tell you that tho hopeful.
optimistic, resolute patient Is the one
that gets well, fipaaiental healing, you
may not doubt, that you arc sick; that
your pain Is quito real, but your higher
power says to your tubjective mind:
"It is nothing; you will get well of
it soon." and ifyour faith in your own
assertion is strong enough to shut out
all doubt, you certalnh' h' '""
thing in your favor. You must not
forget that It was Christ who taught
this faith cure. Repeated instances are
given us in the" Bible, both In tho
Old and In the New Testaments, where
faith has triuraprcd over disease and
danger. Perhaps you will say, not fnifh
in one's self, but the higher Mind,
which rules, ordered the body to do
certain things, which should result as
we believed.
There Is doubtless a great donl -this
matter: a great prlnnlnle of fmth
back of It which the .world is getting
Romo little hold of. Mind certainly
has a wonderful influence over matter,
ar. all will agree; and Romr of w
great thinkers claim thnt when tho
mind knows lurv to use Its power. It
can absolutely control thf bodv. ThP
main thing is to have faith in one's
own self: to believe earnestly, to work
hopefully, and to cultivate a strops
faith In the ultimate mastery of Good
over Evil. The "I can, and I will," I- J

IS YOUR STOMACH ON A STRIKE?
Tbe re U Nothing to Prevent Vou Emp!eylf
a Substitute to Do It Work
There is such a thing as forbear
ance ceasing to he a virtuo even in the
case of one's stomach. There Is no
question but that some stomachs will
stand a great deal moro wear and
tear and abuse than others, but they
all havo their limu and when that
limit is reached, tho stomach must bo
reckoned with as sure as fate. Tho
best way and really tho only effectivo
way to treat your stomach when it,
rebels is to employ a substitute to do
Its work. This will give tho weakened
and worn-out organ an oppc rtunity to
rest and regain its strength and
health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relievo
the stomach of Its work by taking up
the work and doing It just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves another.
They actually digest the food In just
the same manner and just the same
time as tho digestive fluids of a sound
stomach do. In fact, when dissolved
in tho stomach, they are digestive
fluids for they contain exactly the
same constituents and elements as the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids
ot the stomach. No matter what tho
condition of the stomach is, their work
is just tho same. They worn in their
own natural way without regard to
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason of Its failure to
perform its work.
A Wisconsin man says: "I suffered,,
tho pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years.
I tried every known remedy with in
different results until I was told of
the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. I bought a box, be-
gan taking them and forgot I had a
stomach. Three boxes cured rae com
pletely. I havo had no trouble what
ever for a year and have an appetite
like a harvest hand and can eat any
thing that Is set before me without
fear of bad results." ,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 50c a box, TImi
druggist never fails to havo then tat
stock because the demand for the if
so great and so pronounced thai he
cannot afford to be without the Peo
