Discontent or satisfaction with an object often depends entirely on the way in which it is regarded. A difference in the point of view changes the whole a-pret. This truth is' well illustrated l?v a pleasing little incident of Kobert Dale Owen's i childhood, told by himself in j '"Threading My Way:'' Near the i.-ola;e?l country scai j where I spent my boyhood there was i a footbridge hut little more than ai mile away.

Edwin Markham at a dinner said of mixed metaphors: **When I ua? teaching in lx>s Angeles I used to read every week a little countr; paper whose editor's metaphors were an unfailing joy to me.

A weak stomach means weak stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the heart and kidneys. It's a pity that sick ones continue to drug the stomach or stimulate the heart and kidneys. The weak nerves, not the organs themselves, need this help. This explains why Dr Stoop's Restorative has, and is promptly helping so many sick ones. It goes direct to the cause of these diseases.
