The Invlsabie Army Os Microbes (micro-organisms) is a mighty host, which indeed, no man can n imber. Invisable to the naked eye, the poisonous part of this army is the cause o four-fifths of all the diseases of the human family—they destroy more lives than war, famine, fire, murder and shipwreck com |>ined, and they actually abreviate the term of huqi.iq life by threefoqrth§. The way toreceieve the humap body of these microbes is to take Swift's Specific. When thjs medicine gets well into the system the poisinous germ must leave—he cannot exist there, hence he seeks an exit through the pores Os the skin. After he departs, a continued use ; ot the Specific will force out the poison, and the patient is well. Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed free. Swift Spacific Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Quite a crowd gathered around [ ; the delapidated buggy, and Mr. Bowser, ! ! aho vbs unable tow-'lk by reason of his ! juries, was cotvejed to the office of Drs i ■ Boyer & Beavers in a neighboa’s wagon. • It was at first supposed that he had sus- ; tained internal injuries, but we are in- ; I'ormed that his condition is not critical.

W. C. T. V. Notes. F - - * AThe regu’ .r meeting will he held on , S '2130 pm. at the hall. j A grfeat C.ffert i.ce of opiukin exi ts in 4the minds 01 dlffi-rei t persons as to the ! definition 01 the tvrm tempaience. One snys, “ever., ere t; re of God is and listo be used in moderation. Alcohol is a I cr .ature o‘ Go.?; t .eref -ie, alcohol is good | and it is right to use it as a drink.” But . G d did not mi’e ale ho’; no - d e« II s 1 woid sanction its us«; ru r >s He m a j : way he.d re.-ponsibiv- tor it- ue. A coho is a product of d<composition and ucCay I It is not round in tr.-sh traits, beirLs. . grams or vegetables. Il is only alter tic j products ot these articles are eubj> cted to i a process of f. rn.entabon *nd distillation | - tat alcohol is found in them. It is easily [ J-.-monst rated to be a p a-on »h ch cannot ■ b.-habitually takeqjdto the human system - without harm. It is demonstrated to be I entirely useless to any one in a s'ate ol • h.alth and as good medical and scientific 1 authority as there h, has also demonstra--11. d that it is equally useless, not to say I hurtful in illness. It will be asserted by { tuuse who call alcohol “a good creature of God, that Christ made wine at > Cana of Galilee.'* So, doubtless he did, j bat was it alcoholic wine? Excellent aui tr ority has, upon thorough investigation, proved that two kinds of wine are menj ; o;.ed in the Bible; the one evidently inlx xicating 1 nd ;he other not, else Christ's act in making wine and drinking it Would have been in direct conflict with the word «hich says, “Look not upon the win w hen it is red, when it giveth its color in t e cup for at the las it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder,’* and also with that woe pronounced by God’s prophet upon him ho putteth the bot tie to his neighbor's lips and maketh him drunken.” How dare any one so shame luily traduce the character of the sinks. Oae, by accusing Him ot making gieat quantities of intoxicating wine to disirib ute to those who, doubtless, had already drank an immoderate quantity oi perhaps an intoxicating uriak. No! the only reasonable solution of the proble a is that Christ not only chose that tin e to demon .trate his power over the laws of nature but that he also used the op; ortunity to render, at tl e same time, valuable service to those with whom he was then associa ted, as he did in all the miracles which he performed with possibly or two exceptions. He doubtless saw the company growing maudlin under the influence of the wine they had drank; just as wedding parties do now under the influence of the wine and beer which are unwisely provided for their refreshments, and when his mother, why, we know not. called his attention to the fact that there was no more wine, he'must have looked the scorn apd indignation he fejt, and when he said “womgn, what have I to do with thee?” it seems to the writer as if the words meant what is that to thee or me? These poeple already show unmistakable signs of having taken too much wine, why ther. should you expect me to supply them with more? But, as though by an atter-thought He says, “Fill up these firkins with water” and then requested them to draw out the pure unintoxicating non-alcoholi beverage, which was pronounced a% much the best of the feast. Thp§e who advocate any use of alcphpljc liquors as a beverage arp standing upon dangerous ground. Drjnks, containing even the smallest per pent ot alpohol creates an appetite which in nine cases out of Hen will prove the master of the individual and will finally effect his rum. Any use whatever of a pojson by a person in health, is intemperance, and an immoderate use of a good thing is also intemperance. Yet no immoderate use ot p.oper foods and drinks can possibly work such die disaster to the individual as a moderate use of a poisonous liquid like alcohol will do, while to his friends and the community he is liable to become a menace.
