IT 18 A MISTAKE
Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but it is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example of the big success of a
worthy article is the enormous, sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec-
ord is the result of great merit suc-
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub-
lic, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing well advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has a national
sale like Cascarets. Do n t allow n
substitute to be palmed off on you.
The Modest Model.
The late Julia Ward Howe, though
a woman of very good appearance,
was extremely modeat.
••she once posed for m«,” said a
Boston painter the other day. "But
she hesitated a long time before con-
senting. To urge her on I said:
" ‘Don't be afraid. I'll do you Jus-
lice, madam.’
•' ’Ah, she answered, ‘It isn't Justice
I ask for at your hands; it's mercy.’”

Many a visitor to a city has been
badly stung by the simple tastes of
the natives in the matter of something
exciting. A stranger, coming up one
of the main thoroughfares arl seeing
a crowd of a couple of hundred peo-
ple, naturally looks for some sort of a
catastrophe, and after working his
way to the center of the crowd to see
them gaslng at some new-fangled mo-
tor cycle, or watching a laborer as-
cending from a manhole, is naturally
chagrined.

"It has been our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either of
laymen or physicians who have writ-
ten to us in a complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand of attorneys that we turn
these letters over to them.
“I am asking a few men whom I
deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some of their letters over
their signatures in order to refute the
falsehoods.
"We have hundreds of letters from
physicians, but 1 esteem the one that
you wrote to me In 190$ among the
very best, particularly in view of the
fact that it recognizes the work I have
been trying to do partly through the
little book. The Road to Wellvtlle.'

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES
A Girl’s Way.
“But,” he complained when she had
refused him, “you have given me ev-
ery reason to believe you cared for
me.”
“I do care for you, George.”
"Then why won't you be mine?”
"I want to let your stuck-up mother
and sisters understand that I don’t
consider you good enough for me.”
"I have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
mauy skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in-
stance, I always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. I told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
“A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rhettnj in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children’s faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck .and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. It made his arm as limber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
"Last May I had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. I cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. It soothed
it and in less than ten nights it was
ail healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil-
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. I have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above
if anybody doubts what I say." (Sign-

Doctors Want a National Leprosaria

Many of these patients, it is said,
make occasional visits to the shopping
district, to banks, or to hospitals, rid-
ing openly in trains, street cars and
ferry boats.
Six physicians f- u different parts
of the United State ad the American
colonial possessions discussed leprosy
at the meeting, and all agreed that in
New York city there is no likeiihooJ
of infection. They declare In favor of
a national leprosaria, with stations in
Florida and San Francisco, urging in
favor of such an Institution that it
was impracticable for the states to
take action on account of the small
number of cases in each state and it
was unfair from a national standpoint
to allow one state to drive its lepers
across the border into other states.
There are now on record, it was as-
serted, 278 cases in the United States.
176 of them being men and 102
women. Five seaboard states contain
almost all .of the recorded cases. New
York, South Carolina, Florida, Cali-
fornia and Massachusetts leading in
the order named.

experiments in segregating the bacilli
of the disease and his final success in

My Dear Sir;
“I write to express n\y personal ap
predation of one of your business
methods, that of accompanying each
package of your Grape-Nuts produc
tion with that little booklet “The
Road to Wellville,” A more appro-
priate. clear beaded and effective pre-
sentation of health-giving auto-sugges
tions could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself,
but the food contained in this little
article is still better stuff. I commend
the practice because I know that the
greed and strenuousness, the conse-
quent graft and other types of thlev
ery and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative ae
tion.
“The only hope for the betterment
of the race rests in individual soul
culture.
"In taking a step in this direction,
your process has been so original and
unique that it must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the whole
country get3 flavored with genuine
practical Christianity.
"I shall do all that lies in my pow-
er to aid in the appreciation of Grar-e-
Nuts. not so much for the sake of the
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.
"Visiting Battle Creek the other day
with a friend. Dr. Kelly of Evanston.
Illinois, while I was consulting with
Mr. Gregory, my friend visited your
factories and came away greatly
amazed, not only at the luxurious fur-
nishings of the offices generally and
the general equipment of tbe place,
but with the sweet spirit of courtesy
and kindness that seemed to fill the
sir with a spiritual ozone that was
good to breathe.
"The principle' expressed in the
tittle booklet. the Road to Well-
ville.’ 1 well know are practical and
they work in business of all kinds. In-
cluding sanitariums, as will be fairly
tested before time is done
“I know you will not regard this let-
ter of appreclstion as an intruding
one. It is simply the salutation of
good fellowship to you from a man
who. although he has never seen yon.
feels drawn to you by the kinship of
thought.
“The only thing that makes a man
live forever in the hearts of his coun-
trymen and his race is the good that
he does. Your position In this respect
is an enviable one and I wish to ex-
tend my congratulations."
