The World's Finger

is the title of the most absorbing detective narrative ever written.

One would not surmise from the title that such was the fact; but the closing chapter of the book gives the clue to its meaning: "I swore to my father on his death-bed that The World's Finger should never point to a Davanant as amongst the list of known convicts, and that oath I will keep."

T. W. Hanshew is the author, and a writer of more exciting and sensational detective stories cannot be found at the present day.

One reader writes: "I thought I would read a chapter or two of The World's Finger, to see what it was all about. I soon found out, and it was two o'clock in the morning before I lay it down, having read it to the end at one sitting. It certainly is a corker."

Sure to Regulate the Bowels.

Relief and Health to your Infants.

We have put up and sold this article for over sixty years, and can say in confidence and truth of it what we have never been able to say of any other medicine: never has it failed in a single instance to effect a cure when timely used. Never did we know an instance of dissatisfaction by any one who used it. On the contrary, all are delighted with its operations, and speak in terms of highest commendation of its magical effects and medical virtues. We speak in this matter "what we do know" after years of experience, and pledge our reputation for the fulfillment of what we here declare. In almost every instance, where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaustion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the syrup is administered.

This valuable preparation has been used with never-failing success in thousands of cases. It not only relieves the child from pain, but

Invigorates the Stomach and Bowels.

Diarrhœa in Children,

whether arising from teething or any other cause.

We would say to every mother who has a child suffering from any of the foregoing complaints, do not let your prejudices, nor the prejudices of others, stand between your suffering child and the relief that will be sure—yes, absolutely sure—to follow the use of this medicine if timely used. Full directions for using will accompany each bottle. Twenty-five Cents a Bottle.
