Ile turned very white about the

heard the word "thunder!" At all
overate, his eyes flashed angrily upon
the provoking woman, who again in-
quired at what we were laughing.
When I told her`, she too laughed,
saying. "Ah. yes, I remember it well,

who was putting on his overshoot.
"I am going round with her my-

from the room ere she could say any-
thing further.

had hoped. My aunt was greatly

skill, that she felt confidence in his

pressed herself ss preferring him even
to Dr. Mott, "who," she said, "was

As he was leaving the house, niy

lotte is well. I only paid you for
this call to please Rom."

look, which I expected to see on the
doctor's face. there was an expres-
sion of deep gratitude. as he ttirned

ESCAPE FROM PREMATURE
DEATH.
One of the most ancient families of
the W4tli►lt nobtlItY has for Mr nrttto
"Duan Spiro Spero" ("While 1
breathe I bops ") ; and surely thls
might well be taken as the battle cry
of every sufferer from Lung disease
to this fair (Nandi *Lenge..
That many lives have been allowed
to sink into the grave by default,
especially in tows of Lung trouble,
is apparent from the constant tes-
timony of those who after having
received such a verdict, by the
use of P$YCHINE have been restored
to complete health and vigor, and who
have proved that the doctor's judg•
meet was erroneous, by living to a
good and robust old age.
Bach a case L that of Mr. John
Radford, of Rsskvlew, Co. DuIIertn, 1
Ont., who sot a years ago had reached
each a low Cate oY health that his
medical attendant assured blm that
his Lungs were so seriously affected
that it was absolutely useless for him
to take any more medicine: and in
tact that nothing more could 1.' s` 0
for him. it was at this 1 vine it i1
Mr. Radford started to use Pi' '('I1'''II•:.
Ga a very short time his hi lth AVM
to Improve. the Lung trouble disap-
peared. and he was soon able to go out
to work on the farm sgaln. -
On August 24th of tbts year Mr.
Radford writes; " If It had not been
for your PBYCHiNE. I would have
been in my grave years ago. I have
had no need of any more medicine
since, as I have enjoyed perfect health.
1 am now 811 years of age, and feel
quite smart. I recommend PBYCHINE
to all sufferers from Lung dismiss as
a SURE CURB."
Such evidence as the above cannot
• be gainsaid. It is gspulne, oonvtnc-
ing, and conclusive; but why not get
a sample bottle and prove its merits
for yourseU?
