EARRINGS.
A curious instance of the survival and mvival of a fashion which origiested in the romotest times is the earring. Wore by the Kings of Egypt, and extremely popular among the ladies of ancient Rome, it sub- sequently lost favour until the my days of the Stuart period, after which it again dropped out, and has now ence more regained popularity. The very earliest mention of this form of decoration is to be found in the Book of Genesis Jacob, it will be remembered, on reaching Bethel baried certain strange idols, among them some earrings belonging to his family. Doubtless these dreaments were regarded perely in a propitiatory

Remedy
Time was when disease was thought to be due to the direct influence of evil spirits, and exorcism and magic were invoked to cast it out.
Science has taught us wisdom. The evil spirits exist still. We call them "Disease Germs," and they also must be cast out. Once lodged in the stomach or intestines, fever with its hallucinations, or biliousness with its aches and pains, is the result.

is the approved remedy for driving out disease germs, Its action is quick and thorough. clears the intestines, rouses the torpid liver to new life, stimulates the mucous membrane to a healthy, action, and cleanses and invigorates the whole digestive tract,
It may be safely taken at any time by young
