Dr. Chase's four great remedies are Dr. Chase's Kiducy-Liver Pills, Dr. Chase's Ointment, Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure, and Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pontine, his latest and greatest discovery for all throat and lung affections. " I was sick for three years," says James gimpsou, of Newcomb dills. " I triad various alleged pntcut cures and several boxes of a certain pili which has been greatly cracked up. I got no re- ief.

" I used many cough medicines, but none cured lne until at a cost of 25 cents I tried Dr. Chaso's Syrup of Linseed and Tnrnclitine."

I crept into thewoods and through them, keeping a line which would take me right out of the angle of the cordon within which I was caught. In the woods I passed the other two cordons without difficulty, for I was on the lookout and they were not. Presently I came against a belly hedge, broke through it and found myself in a laby- riDth of gardens, through which I wan- dered for hours, feeling like a character in the "Arabian Nights." Never again shall I see such a sight as those acres of undercliff. I frequently passed gardeners, but they disturbed me no further than by their profound bows. Finally, in a Grcek temple arranged as an orchid house I came upon two young ladies cutting flowers. My peonies appeared to draw their attention, and after a little whispering one asked in Russian: "Pray, sir, would you tell us where you found those peonies? My sister and have look- ed for them in the park, nt in vain.

I crept into thewoods and through them, keeping a line which would take me right out of the angle of the cordon within which I was caught. In the woods I passed the other two cordons without difficulty, for I was on the lookout and they were not. Presently I came against a belly hedge, broke through it and found myself in a laby- riDth of gardens, through which I wan- dered for hours, feeling like a character in the "Arabian Nights." Never again shall I see such a sight as those acres of undercliff. I frequently passed gardeners, but they disturbed me no further than by their profound bows. Finally, in a Grcek temple arranged as an orchid house I came upon two young ladies cutting flowers. My peonies appeared to draw their attention, and after a little whispering one asked in Russian: "Pray, sir, would you tell us where you found those peonies?
