A Mystery of Indo-China.
The great mystery about Indo-Cblna
and one which must ivei bl Insoluble
ls the story i?f the lo st race and the
vanished civilization of that strange
country. The nighty walls of Angkor
Wat, rising In the midst of sparsely
settled Jungles, remain as tho meimv
rlal of a great empire which hag ut?
terly disappeared and is altogether lost
to history. No one will ever know
who planned this gigantic temp ? c
whot tyrant hounded on his myriads
of people to build up those Immense
blocks of stone and crrvor them with
the most elaborate of sculptures. Ang?
kor-Wat was one of the moat aston?
ishing monuments In the world, and
Uils forgotten temple was built so as
to endure as long os the earth Itself
were lt not for the Irresistibly de?
structive effect of plant life on the
strongest walls that man can raise.
Only a highly civilized and very
wealthy people could have erected

He Qot the Trout.
A story dealing with a large trout
that was rising regularly and frequent
ly ls told in "How to Fish: A Treatise
on Trout and Trout Fishers." This Ls
the story:
"He was going up and down, gp and
down, up and down; not as the Insects
offered themselves, but os lt suited his
composure that he should take a midge
from thc abundance. One youth was
casting at tho trout; another was look
lng on. Paid the angler. Ttl hove that
fish whether he takes lt or not.'
Tlowr his friend asked Til throw
the fly into his mouth.' The trout
went on rising; the angler went on
easting. I perceived the angler's no?
tion. It was that If he kept casting
accurately and tho trout continued t<>
rino In the regular man nor mentioned,
the fly would ere long fan at 'he very
moment when o midge was being
taken. This reckoning was Justified.
The large trout was boobed ai.d land?

I have given your Concentrated Water a fair trial, and say with pleas?
ure I have been greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or
less with Indigestion, followed by Constipation and other attendant ill?".
Within the past two months I have found such relief from your remedy
that I have improved in strength and weight; have eaten what I have not
dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been
able to do before for years.
Rev. OSCAR LITTLETON, ,
Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va.
Bines ISM I hare boen afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six
months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water
with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For throe or four years
pggt I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to
church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension, having lost almost
entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy to state that after
using about a half down bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not
having aged any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly
recommend your a-medy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Capt. RUFUS AMIS, Virgillna, Va,
I was an intone sufferer for porno months with Indigestion, and could
get no relief from the ordinary remedies. During the month of January I
began the use of your Concentrated Water, and one bottle has entirely re?
lieved me. I can now digest any diet and am entirely free from jjuU'ering.
I take great pleasure in giving toil testimonial.

I hare used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs,
but none of them begin to come np to your Concentrated Water tn all that
. - to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetiser and restorative,
lt is at once a fine tonic and flesh-builder. Have advised several recently
to try it, and always with tine and quick results, tn rgnuary I had a lM>u!e
sent from one of your dealers toa lady, with the understanding that if it
did not gt once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself.
Stu- not only willingly paid the bill, but used a part of one-half dozen more
lM)ttles, aim is now completely cored of a long and annoying Stomach
Trouble. Thia soenid to be the case with all who try it.
