THE ART OF SPELLING.

N the early history of Canada, when our schools were not only few in number

but widely scattered, they were, for the most part, in charge of a class of

pedagogues who, if their curriculum embraced what was popularly termed

the three R's, " Reading, Ritin and Rithmetic," were generally supposed

to be duly qualified as teachers. As a class they were also"capable of vigor-

ously wielding the birch, and though their methods, as viewed from this

progressive era, may seem crude and rather at variance with modern educational ideas,

there is no manner of doubt whatever but that much of the work which they accom-

plished was of quite a high order of merit. These were the days also of the old

fashioned " spelling bee", an institution which not only afforded a very pleasant break

in the monotony of school life but which served, likewise, to add to the three branches

already outlined, a fourth, orthographical construction, or the art of spelling.

Now to our mind good spelling, though not so essential perhaps to business

life as a knowledge of fractions and the ability to put them down in black and white,

has a great deal to do with success, as looked upon even from a commercial standpoint.

This fact is conceded A good suit of clothes, a clean collar, and a well shined pair

of shoes may not add a nickels worth to the moral or educational st^idard of the

man who wears them, but just the same, all things being equal, he is morally certain to

be several laps ahead, in a competitive sense, of his less tidy fellow worker. And the

simile holds good as between the carefully worded, correctly spelled, business letter and

the same proposition presented in words which show only too clearly that the writer has

hardly a rudimentary idea of orthography. " But, says one critic, we can't all exhibit

the same proficiency, and that being the case, how is the bugbear of Da(J spelling

to be avoided ?" To this plea, a perfectly reasonable one, we would say that the

only thorough and safe plan to follow is that of possessing and having always at hand,

a compact and reliable dictionary to which reference can be made at any time. Such

a work we think we have now placed within the reach of the public in the present

small but comprehensive booklet. It embraces upwards of 10,000 commonly used

words, carefully compiled from standard dictionaries of the English language, arranged

alphabetically, and classified in a way calculated to best fill the purpose for which it

was intended. To you it comes absolutely free. To us it means the expenditure of

quite a large sum of money and made solely with a view and hope that Dr. Morse's

Gents.—After being one of your patrons for 17 or

18 years, I think perhaps it is only fair that I shouldtell you the circumstances under which I becamesuch. For a long time I had been suffering fromliver trouble and indigestion, being under constant

treatment from doctors and getting little or no relief.

One day a little booklet describing Morse's IndianPills was thrown into my house, and I decided

A Grateful Patron.to try the remedy. I sent to my druggist, J. P. Dun-kin, who said he did not keep the Pills but could getthem for me. He did. so and within a short timeafter I had commenced taking them my trouble wasgone. I could eat anything I wanted to and I havenever been bothered since. I used no other medicinewhatever and therefore know that my cure was dueto the Pills, and to them alone.

March 14th, 1902.

The Comstock Co. :

Gentlemen,—Some years ago I was terribly

afflicted with neuralgia, so bad in fact that my phys-

ician, Dr. Empton, after saying that he had given

me everything possible, pronounced me incurable. I

was determined to make a further fight for my life,

however, and among other things tried Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pi.ls. I soon found they helped me,

and from that on confined myself solely to their use,

with the result that a complete and permanent cure

was effected. Morse's Pills I consider worth $50.00

a box, at least to me. ' Jane Meece.

Coleman, Ga., Aug. 22nd, 1901.

The W. H. Comstock Co.—I would like to offer;

my unsolicited testimony for Morse's Indian Root

Pills. For two years I suffered death almost from

neuralgia, tried and abandoned three doctors, and

finally cured myself with Dr. Morse's Indian Root

Pills. Mrs. S. E. Costey.

A Helpless Cripple Cured.Bowie, Miss., June 8, 1902.

The W. H. Comstock Co. :

Dear Sirs,—For the past eight years I have beena terrible sufferer from rheumatism, being crippledfor two years and unable to do any work. Havingtried everything I could hear of, I made up my mindI would be a helpless cripple for life. When Mr.Campbell, who lives a few miles from our town, call-

ed and asked me to give your medicine a trial, I re-

fused, saying there was nothing could help me, butbut when he informed me that he had been cured byMorse's Indian Root Pills. I sent for some and com-menced using them. At first the medicine only re-

lieved me, but by the time I had used six boxes of

pills I was as well as ever. It is now nearly two years

and I am convinced of the wonderful cure I have re-

ceived. Yours very ttuly,

N. E. Randall.

Walterville, Oregon, Sept. 24, 1902.

The W. H. Comstock Co. :

Dear Sirs,— I wish to say we have given Dr.

Morse's Indian Root Pills a fair trial in the case of

my mother, who had an unusually severe attack of

rheumatism in the shoulder. A complete cure waseffected with one box of the pills and as yet there has

been no recurrence of the disease.

His Faith Was Rewarded.Waltham, Mass., May 20, 1902.

Messrs. Comstock Co.

,

Dear Sirs,—If any one can recommend your Dr.

Morse's Indian Root Pills more highly than I can,

after using them in my family for 15 years, I would

like to hear his or her story. One case among hun-

dreds of others I take the liberty of citing. Three

years ago I was taken with a severe attack of illness.

I had constant headaches, my throat was clogged, I

had a furred tongue, bad looking eyes, and was

knocked out generally. A doctor pronounced it the

result of catarrh and very difficult to cure. I told mywife I had never heard of any case which Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pills could not get at and at once com-

menced to use them. In less than two months I was

as well as ever, and what is better still, have stayed

well. If anybody doubts the truth of this story let

them write to me personally. I shall be most happy

to tell them what Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills hav<

done for me and for many others. My address is

Dear Sir,— I feel that I cannot adequately expressmy gratitude to Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. Be-fore using them I was troubled with dyspepsia, livercomplaint and a generally run down system. I doc-tored with half a dozen specialists but got no reliefand fully thought I would have to give up my position.In this emergency a friend said "Try Indian Ro»tPills." I took the advice and now, after using twoboxes, am almost well again and gaining in flesh I

think the pills were a Godsend to me, and I will

always praise them. Yours truly,

Dear Sirs,—About eight years ago I discovered thebenefit of your Indian Root Pills. I went for a loadof lime, and being so weak that I could scarcely set

up, asked a blacksmith' on the way home if he hadanything to help me. He gave me some Indian RootPills, and four of them made a new man of me.

Testifies After Many Years.220 Coulter Block.

W. H. Comstock, Esq. :

Dear Sir,—Your circular was placed in my doora few days ago and I am reminded that 40 years ago,

when a boy on the farm in Lake County, 111., I hada brother who was sick over a year with consumptionand died. I had slept with him considerable dur-

ing the earlier stages of the disease and of course waswith him even to the last, and after he died myfriends said I was going the same way. I had adr-.adful cough, night sweats, and all the other symp-toms of the disease. After trying many remedies

common in those days, and still growing weaker, my

father returned from Waukegan one evening with a

box of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. I read every

word on that wrapper and seemed to believe it. Atany rate I began to take the pills and I think nowthat they saved my life. I do not remember whetherI took more than one box or not, but I got entirely

well and carried on the farm for about 25 years, ex-

cept for about three years spent in the army. I amnow 60 years old. My idea is that the regulating of

the bowels which the pills gave, afforded nature achance to carry off the impurities of the bio d. Atany rate they did the business. Gratefully yours,

Advice From a Patient.

Big Pine, N.C., Oct. 6th, 1902.

The W. Comstock Co. :

Gentlemen,—I have been using Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pills for several years and take pleasure

in saying that in most cases of colic, cholera morbus,

diarrhoea and flux, they give almost immediate

relief. I would earnestly advise all who suffer from

any of these diseases to give them a fair and honest

trial.

Your friend,

L. C. Sawyer.

Mount Forest, Ont., Aug. 8, 1902.

W. H. Comstock, Co.

Brockville,Ont. :

Dear Sirs,—Constant suffering from bilious colic

last season induced me to try Dr. Morse's Indian

Root Pills after a number of other remedies had failed

to help me even temporarily. Am glad to say that

to-day I am permanently cured.

Gratefully yours,

ment from some of our best physicians but in no in-

stance was afforded more than temporary relief. Some

time ago I was induced to try your Dr. Morse's Indian

been constantly improving ever since andhave every

prospect of being permanently cured. I think the Pills

a wonderful medicine. Respectfully,

Sirs,— I just wish to say that I have been using

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills in my family for seven

or eight years, a;;d we have gotten so we cannot do

without them. I have recommended them to a great

many people, and have yet to hear of the first one

that has not been benefitted by them. My wife says,

""If Morse's Indian Root Pi'ls don't relieve you, there

is no use trying anything else." We keep them in our

house all the time and never allow them to get out.

A Whole Family Cured.Warm Springs,

Randolph Co., Ark.,

Feb. 25, 190 1.

The Comstock Co.

Gentlemen,—Having used your medicine, Dr.Morse'^Indian Root Pills, am proud to say that

I was cured permanently of the chills and ague, after

having been bed ridden for [over two years. Myfather was afflicted in like manner in 1880, and a

cousin, who had chronic ague for over three years,

were both cured by the same medicine. When I

was first taken, I neglected to follow my father*

advice to get the pills and toyed with other medicines,

including chill cures, until my trouble became chronic.

Finally, father prevailed on me to try Morse's. Wehad to send 20 miles, to Black & Co., Pocohontas,

Ark., for them, but once using them the ague left melike magic and has stayed away. You may publish

this testimony if you wish.

Yours, etc.,

Jesse Bennett.

Gents — I could give many instances among myneighbors of cures effected by your remedies, but

think my own case as clear as any. Two years ago I

was sick all summer and after giving several physicians

a fair trial gave the pills a six months test. To-day

I feel better than at any time in the past ten years.

Yours truly,

Dear Sirs,—I have used your Pills for the past

ten years and I think I have the right to designate

them as a first-class medicine for all blood and liver

troubles. I have used them and seen them used for

many diseases with most satisfactory results. In fact

I pretty nearly swear by Dr. Morse's Indian Root

Pills. Yours, etc.,

The W, H. Comstock Co. :

Dear Sirs,—It will probably interest you to know

that I have been pretty thoroughly acquainted with

your Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills for no less a time

than 43 years, and have never yet tound anything to

equal them. As a result I have recommended their

use in a great many cases, and always with the most

satisfactory results.

Respectfully yours,

Gents,—I am 62 years of age, and while I am not

subject to any of the ills that afflict so many, I use

your Dr. Morse's Pills to keep myself in health. I

have used them for the past five years and feel as

young in body and spirits as I did at 30. I attribute

this to your pills, which I would not be without for

many times their price. Everybody here thinks them

the best medicine they ever used.

Salem, Ga., Oct, 12, 1901.

Dear Sirs,—This is to certify that for a period of

four years I have been ailing with liver complaint

and indigestion. Our storekeeper asked me to give

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills a trial, and if they did

not cure me I would not have to pay for them. I

used seven b xes and am now in perfect health. My

cure has been the means ofmany ofmy neighbors try-

ing them, and all say the pills give great satisfaction.

Yours truly,

Wished Herself Dead.Morrowville, Kan., March 31, 1902.

W. H. Comstock Co.

:

Dear Sirs,— I often think myselfungrateful in not

writing you before, but really I could not describe

the suffering I underwent before Dr. Morse's Indian

Root Pills cured me. Though only 48 years old I

many times wanted to die and thus escape torture.

I found difficulty at first in getting the pills, as they

were not to be obtained in Morrowville and I had to

send to Washington for them. They have since been

a Godsend to us all, and personally I find life still

worth the living. I have since been recommending

them to my many acquaintances and the most bene-

ficial results are reported in all cases. Even in the

case of my own children they have worked wonders.

If any of them take a cold I at once order the use of

the pills and the result has always justified the pre-

caution.

Dear Sirs,—It gives me pleasure to be able to

add my testimony as to the merits of Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pills. I suffered terribly from Piles and

Dyspepsia for two years, and during that period

there were times when I was laid up in my bed for

a week at a time. Doctors and ointments only gave

temporary relief. My chemist advised me to try your

pills ; I did so and eight boxes have cured me, To-

day I am able to look after my business and never

had better health in my life. I am,

The W. H. Comstock Co.:

Sirs,— I have been a patrou of your pills for over

30 years and still claim them to be the best in use,

either for grown up people or children. I recently

saved the lives of two children who were so ill from

catarrh of the bowels that they had been pronounced*

incurable by a doctor. In each case one pill put the

sufferers on their feet.

Yours respectfully,

A Victim of Grippe.

West Bangor, N.Y., March 5, 1900.

W. H. Comstock, Esq.,

Brockville, Ont :

Dear Sir,—Eight years ago this winter I was sick

with la grippe and had one of the best doctors in

Clinton County in attendance. He kept me alive,

•but I was in such poor shape that when offered $23

a month to work at gardening in Massachusetts was

not able to go. I then tried clerking in a country

store, but had to give that up in about a month and

went home worse than ever. This tim* the doctor

said, " Fred, I have done all that I can do," and so

I was left to waste away and die. Before leaving

the store, however, I had put a box of your pills in

my pocket- and now commenced using them. In

three weeks I was back in the store at work, but did

nof stop taking the pills until I felt as well as ever in

my life. In September I was able to work again on

the farm and have done so more or less since. I now

recommend the pills to all my friends.

Yours very truly,

Fred Snide.

:

Dear Sirs,—I don't know that I could supply thenecessary words to adequately describe the tormentsI sufler.ed for twenty years from a disease known asbleeding piles. Suffice it to say that life was little

better than a burden and I was utterly unable to doany business. Patent medicines had not at any timebeen in favor with me, but I did finally consent totry a home remedy, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills,

as the manufacturers were responsible business menof my own town and favorably known. I am veryglad to say that the first box gave me great relief,

and by using the remedy according to directions for

a short time a cure was effected which has been com-plete and permanent.

Sirs,—My wife having been troubled with a ner-

vous headache for a number of years, has used several

kinds of medicine but received little or no benefit.

Your Morse's Indian Root Pills were recommended

to me and I bought a box and asked her to try them.

She took them according to directions and was so

much better that we have never been without them

since, and she takes a dose every week or two.

Gentlemen, — Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills

outsell all others in this county. Customers come

for them as regularly as they go to the mill. Mywife cured herself of dropsy by taking Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pills, and she has taken no oiher medi-

cine in over two years. I cannot recommend them

:

Dear Sirs,—Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have

been one of our household remedies for twenty years;

in fact they are our main dependence in all stomach

and bowel difficulties, fevers and liver complaints.

If physicians would use them in their practice and

throw their calomel in the fire they would succeed

fcetter.

what the doctors said was consumption, and after

spending over one hundred dollars with them was no

better than when I commenced their treatment. Onedollar's worth of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills did

more real good than all the rest of the money I spent

on other medicines.

Gratefully yours.

:

Dear Sirs,—I am glad to be able to report that

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have proved most

efficacious in the trial I have been giving them in

a very severe case of inflammation. I feel that I

cannot praise them too highly, and I cannot thank

you enough for the great benefit I have derived from

them.

Rev. W. James.

Woolsey, W. Va., Sept. 9 I90I.

W. H. Comstock Co.

:

Gentlemen,—I take pleasure in recommending

your Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills to all suffering

women. I had been a sufferer for six months from

failling of the womb, headache, backache and great

constipation of the bowels. One box of Dr. Morse's

Indian Root Pills gave me so much relief that I tried

a second and am now entirely well.

Gratefully yours,

Beria Stewart.

Dr. McKenzie's Dead Shot Candyfor Worms.

$1000 DOLLARS REWARD.

One thousand dollars will be given to any person

who will show by analysis that this worm medicine

contains any calomel or other poisonous mineral. It

is purely vegetable and cannot harm the most tdelicate

child. It is the most effectual remedy known for the

eradication of worms. It is made in such form that

the children cry for it ; and, if for nothing else, it

should be commended for this, as"a child by crying

and other emotions at taking a disagreeable medicine

often counteracts the good effects of that medicine.

If you have a thoroughly educated physician, have

him test the medicine, and were certain that he will

say to you that it is the best known to the scientific

world. Don't ask of any of the quacks that infest the

rural districts, but go to one that came from some re-

putable college. Analysis is an easy method to a

skillful man of determining the ingredients of any

Mrs. Hill is an old English nuroe of various and

extended experience in the foundling hospitals of

Great Britain. The following is the result of her five

and^twenty years' experience : Firstly, that it is best

for the mother to be the child's only doctor ; to trust

herself and believe that the same reason which ass:

sts

her in comprehending the difficult crotchet patterns,

will also enable her to understand a few medical facts

and remember them. Secondly, never to give her

child white calomel or antimony'powder or any of the

many soothing syrups, which contain more or less

morphine or mercury, that pernicious mineral which

rots the very rats in the mines which yield it, and

which quickly paralyzes and kills the unfortunate

men who collect it

Thirdly, only to give her children simple physic,

and never under any pretense to let her chiid be

blood stained by lancet or leech, the fatal robbers of

the red life stream, of which there is never more than

enough, and whose proper quantity keeps the heart

in motion and the child in life.

whose bright, laughing eyes have been permanently

filmed and closed in lasting sleep from the effects of

the too strong doses of ignorance and professional

mistakes, or recount to you a few of the numberless

instances we have known of unintentional poisoning

by quieting syrups, with calomel and white antimony,

wherein the first dose taken has been perceptibly

the first downward step toward the poor little inno-

cent's grave. Or could we exhibit to you the various

little blanched bodies mentally drained (calf-like) of

their life's blood by lancet or leech, we undoubtedly

think each anxious mother would immediately resolve

never to forget the above rules.

And now, gentle reader, let us urge you carefully

to read through several times the following pages and

you will then know as much, nay more, about worms

affecting children and how to cure them, than many

of the professed doctors, and being likewise nurses,

will be much better able to save life.

SYMTOMS.

Worms, by the consequence of their movements,

the interruption they offer to the contents of the

bowels and probably other modes of interruption,

generally occasion pain or uneasiness in the abdomen,

sometimes spasmodic, sometimes described as knaw-

(word, an oral or writtensign of a thought.

ing or biting, and not unfrequently of a vague, indes-

cribable character, and yet very distressing. Smypa-

thetic with this is a sensation of itching at the anus

and at the nostrils, producing a disposition to scratch

the fundament and to pick the nose, which is highly

characteristic of this affection. The bowels are often

disordered,, being sometimes constipated or stopped,

and sometimes relaxed, with occasional bloody dis-

.

charges as in dysentery. The discharge is sometimes

in shreds or flakes, which are not unfrequently mis-

taken for fragments of partially digested worms. It

is not uncommon for portions of undigested food to

pass with the discharges. The appetite is exceedingly

variable; in some cases natural, in others deficient,

craving or depraved, one condition not unfrequently

alternating with another. The belly is often hard,

swollen and tympanatic, the breath heavy or fetid

and the tongue furred, with a disagreeable taste, and

a copious flow of saliva ; swelling of the upper lip,

bleeding of the nostrils and disposition to grind the

teeth during sleep are other characteristic symptoms.

The effects, however, often extend beyond the ali-

mentary canal, and various derangements of health

are experienced in consequence, either of the direct

irritation of the works, or of the disordered diges-

tion which they occasion. Among the most

common of these are nervous affections such as fret-

fulness, irritation of temper, wakefulness or disposi-

tion to excessive sleep, disturbed sleep, sudden start-

ing out of sleep as if from fright, dizziness, spasmodic

movements of the eyelids, dilated pupils, perverted

vision, temporary blindness and partial deafness.

General convulsions are not unfrequent in children,

and symptoms strongly resembling Hydrocephalus

have been ascribed to worms and have ceased on

their expulsion.

Cases of chorea, or St. Vitus' dance, melancholia

and hypochondria, and even insanity, have been re-

ferred with the most apparent re .son to this cause. In

addition to these affections may be mentioned obstin-

ate cough, spasm of the glottis, palpitation, languid

circulation, pale or yellowish skin, sunken eyes, a

livid circle about the eyelids and general emaciation.

This condition is often accompanied by fever and is

then called worm fever. Persons in apparently per-

fect health may be affected with worms, and it is no

unusual event to find worms in the bowels of persons

after death, which have given no signs of their pres-

ence during life. It is therefore incumbent on every

person who is not feeling well to pay attention to this

fact and take some remedy that will remove them if

present, and yet do no harm if otherwise. Such a

medicine is McKenzie's Dead Shot Worm Candy, a

sure death to worms, but taking no effect if they arc

absent.
