"For Years,"
Says CADDIE E. STOCKWELL, of Chester-

extremely severe pain in the lower part of
the chest, The feeling was as 1f a ton
weight was laid
on a spot the slze
of my hand. Dur-
ing the attacks, the
perspiration would
stand in drops on
my face, and tt was
agony for me to
make sufficient
effort: oven to wills.
per. They came
suddenly, at any
hour of the day or
night, lasting from
thirty minutes to
ball a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for
several days after, I was quite pros-
trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks
were almost daily, then less frequent. lifter
about four years of this suffering, I was
taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began t0 recover, I bad the worst
attack of my old trouble I over experienced.
Atthe first of the fever, my mother gave
mo,Ayer's Pills, my doctor recOnlmendiug
them as being better than anything be
could prepare. I continued taking these
Pills, and so great was the benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have had
but one attack of my former trouble, which
yielded readily to the same remedy,"

"Footprints .

Looking at them closely it is not hard to be-
lieve that some of them might have been inacle by
ants, so very small their step anal so crooked then'
way ; excitable little creatures that with all their
flurry never seem to get anywhere in particular,
and whose whole interest seems to be that of turn-
ing aside from obstacles. Others again, in the
great length of their stride, remind one of the
mighty jump of the kangaroo. They are evidently
getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to
the observer that these must be the tracks of those
shrewd merchants who 'got there' by jumping from
one advertisement in Toru BBussmas i'osT to anoth-
er, and as we ponder their prodigious strides, these
