AN IMMENSE FORTUNE.
When Jay Gould died lie. left a fortune of twelve millions sterling, When ono' remembers the small beginning ho lmd, wlion, as a poor boy, lie invented a particular kind of mouse-trap, his success reads liko a page out of the "Arabian Nights," The legacy left to the youthful Gould is so great that one fails to grasp tlio enormous power for good or evil which necessarily goes with it. Whether snch a fovtuno exercises a donioralisinginflueiico upon its owner, and also in turn upon the thousands ot men who look with envious eyes upon the millionaire, is not what wo propose to answer just now, There can bo no gainsaying the truth that two thousand families, each possessing six thousand pounds, would tend to a far greater proportion of domestic and national 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 rani am, exceedingly so ! To most men fortune is a stranger, and adversity a constant attendant, although " not" ja bosom friend. "What, however, is i impossible in the realm of money is 1 demonstrably and visibly possible in tlio world of health, " Every man may enjoy a life of comparative healthfulness and a fortune of vitality and animal force." Such a legacy is of more value than all the dollars in the American States. Without health money is a drug. A poor man with a strong, vigorous body is immeasurably richer in true happiness than a millionaire with a wrecked and worn-out frame. Warner's Safe Cure helps on magnificently to the acqnislion 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 place to robustness and a fine healthy !pliysicinl action. It eliminates inic acid from the blood and the possibility of poisoning the system, and [destroys any environment for the development of disease.
