A young woman said she was born
' to be a farmer's wife because she engaged
in milking when an infant,
and took to cradling early. Later]
she often cut. up and shocked her I
patents and tilled her crib. At an j
k ^ early age she learned to sew, anuj
she had cultivated her acquaintance!
with a youug agriculturist, and as i
I ? soon as she placed her- affoctious j=he!
iutended to "make hay while the
?Ustm was shining." This was too
Hf much for an impressible of the
FT ^ soil, so lie gathered her up in his '
, arms and garnered her.?Ex.

Pains
"My mother is a great suf- ,
ferer from rheumatism, and Dr. j
Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is the only i
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Rovccfield, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They
J also overcome that nervous irri,
tation which prevents sleep be!
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invaluable.
When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use tnem
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them ? Get a package
from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
