AN IMMENSE FORTUNE
When Jay Gould died he left a fortune of twelve millions sterling. When one remembers the small beginning ho had, when, as .a poor boy, he invented a particular kiud of mouse-trap, his success reads like a page out of the " Arabian Nights." The legacy lett to the youthful Gould is so great that one fails to grasp the enormous power for good or evil which necessarily goes with it. Whether such a fortune exercises a demoralising influence apon its owner, and also in turn upon the thousands of men who look with envious eyes upon the millionaire, is not what we propose to answer just now. There can be no gainsaying the truth that two thousand families, each possessing six thousand pounds, would tend to a far greater proportion of domestic and natural happiness than by having so many millions locked up in a single pair of pockets. The broader the distribution the more extensive will be its currency. Jay Gould was a ram avk, exceedingly so ! To mist men fortune is a stranger, and adversity a constant atteunant, although " not " a bosom friend. \\ hat, however, is impossible in the realm of money is demonstrably and visibly possible in the world of health. " Every man may enjoy a life of comparative hoalthfuluess and a fortune of vitality and animal force." Such a legacy is of more value thau all the dollars in tho American States. Without health money is a drug. A poor man with a strong, vigorous body is immeasurably richer in true happiuoss than a millionaire with a wrecked and wornout frame. Warner's Safe Cure helps on magnificently to tho acquisition of the greatest of all fortunes; a body without disease and a life without pain. Its characteristic is that it attacks the seat of disease and fortifies against further onslaughts. Warner's Safe Cure always gives relief. All forms of nervous prostration and weakness give placo to robustness and a fine healthy physical action. It eliminates uric acid from tho blood and the possibility of poisoning the system, and destroys any enviroameut for the development of disease.
