Are Your Eyes Bad?
V
Dr. IF. Stein tlie famous Eye Specialist
Will cure you. Many people become all but totally blind and at
an early age, simply because they pay no attention to their eyes. They notice
a dimness and soroness after reading a while and when a miserable headache
comes to them they ascribe it to any cause but tbe right one and take a pill.
The real cause of their misery is that their eyes are weak and every time they
read or write means and added strain, and their eyes made weaker. Consultation with a specialist means th e ending of all misery, and the saving of your
eyesight. Dr. Stein is reliable, you do not see him once and then look for him
again in vain. He is going to make spe _al visits to your town. Come and see

One Hundred Years Old.
Franklin, Mich., Feb. 10.—In a
small, old fashioned house on a little
farm lives t_e subject of this sketch,
Mrs. Anna Allen, or as she is familiarly called, Aunt Ann. Today friends
from far and near came to pay their
respects to her, for it is her 100th birthday.
Anna Shepard was born Februai y 10,
1800, in Hillsdale, Columbia county, N.
Y Her parents were Connecticut Yankees; her father served in the Revolutionary war. Her mother died at tbe
age of 97 and a sister nearly reached
100 years. On January 27, 1827, Miss
Shepard was married to D. P. Allen, a
soldier ofthe war of 1812. ln 183-5 Mr.
and Mrs. Allen came to Michigan and
settled on the farm where she nnw resides.
Four children were born to them,
two of them, a "son and a daughter, live
with and care for their mother. In
1890 her husband died, Aunt Annts
mental faculties are unimpaired. To
her memory the family appeal on
doubtful questions. She re. embers
the cold summer oE 1816 and the customs and manners of the people of her
youth. Her hearingis perfect and her
eyesight'fair.—Detroit-Free Press.

J. eld,
A famous verdict rendered: many-
years ago hy a coroner's jury in a case
of mysterious death ran thus: "We,
the jury of twelve good men and true,
duly impanelled and responsible on
our consciences, do hereby return the
following verdict on the demise of the
deceased, namely: That said corpse
came to its death through the abrupt
ceasing of his heart to perform its
natural oSSce, for no reason whatever
discernible by man, but solely an act
of providence." If this was not altogether explicit, at least the public
knew there had been no foul play; but
what meaning eould possibly be attached to the verdict which a legal
magazine assures us was rendered,
much more recently, by a Missouri
court? "We, the jury impanelled,
sworn and charged to Inquire into tbe
insanguinity of Hezekiah Jones, do occur in the affirmative." This leaves
the matter still shrouded in mystery.
Was Hezekiah, dead, an ensanguined
corpse? Was he, liTing, accused of
homicide, or merely of insanity? Insanguinity is a resonant and mysterious multisyllable that must leave the
everyday juryman in a very uncertain
frame of mind.
Stood Death Off.
E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Henrietta,
Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He
says: "My brother was very -low with
malarial fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and
he was soon much better, but continued
their use until he was wholly cured.
I am sure Electric Bitters saved his
life." This remedy' expels malaria,
kills disease germs and purifies the
blood; aids digestion, regulates liver,
kidneys and bowels, cures constipation,
dyspepsia, nervous diseases, kidney
troubles, female complaints; gives perfect health. Only 50o at Lister &
