Belovr wo give the eighth discourse of the series on the Holy Lend delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage In Rwok* lyn and New York City* Tho test Was*. Comsinueli as lliCrt kiioWeat haw Wo are to ohrnmp In the Wilderness.—Numbers, Night after night we have slept in tent in Palestine. There are large til* lages ol Bedouins without a house, and for throe thousand years the people of those places have lived in black tents, made out of dyed skins; and when the Winds hnd storms wore out and tore loose these coverings, others of the sadle kind took their places. Noah lived in a tent; Abraham in a tent Jacob pitched bis tent on a mountain. Isaac pi tchod his tent in the valley. Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom. In a tent the woman Jael nailed Slsera, the General, to the ground, first having given him sour milk called "leben’* as a soporific to make him soundly sleep, that being the effect 6f such nutrition, as modern travelers can testify. The Syrian army in a tent 4The ancient battlo-shout was: “To your tents, O Israel!” Paul was a tentmaker. Indeed, Isaiah, magnificently poetic, indicates that all the human race live under a blue tent when he says that God “stretcheth out tho heavons as a curtain** and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in,” and Uezekiah compares death to the striking of a lent, saying; “My ago is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent” In our tent in Palestine to-night I hear something I never heard before and hope never to hear again. It is the voice of a hyena amid the rocks near by* When you may have seon this monster putting his mouth between the iron bars of a menagerie he is a captive and hp gives a humiliated and suppressed cry. But yonder in the midnight on t, throne of rocks he has nothing to fear and he utters himself in a loud, resounding, terrific, almost supernatural sound, splitting up the darkness into a deeper midnight. It begins with a howl and ends with a sound something like a horse’s whining. In the hyena’s voice are defiance and

strengln ana Dioou-mtrsuness ana crunch of broken bones and death. I am glad to say that for the most part Palestine Is clear of beasts of prey. The leopards, which Jeremiah says can not change their spots, have all disappeared, and the lions that once were common all through this land and used by all the prophets for illustrations of cruelty and wrath, have retreated before the discharges of gunpowder of which they have an indescribable fear. Hut for the most part Palestine is what it originally was. With the oj»e exception of a wire thread reaching from Joppa to Jerusalem and from Jerusalem to Nazareth and from Nazareth to Tiberias and from Tiberias to Damascus, that one nerve of civilization the telegraphic wire (for we found ourselves only a few minutes off from Brooklyn and New York while standing by Lake Galilee),with that one exception, Palestine is iust as it always was. Nothing surprised me so much as the persistence of every thing. A sheep or horse falls dead and, though the sky may one minute before be clear of all wings, in five minutes after the skies are black vrith eagles cawing, screaming, plunging, fighting for room, contending for largest morsels of the extinct quadruped. Ah, now I understand the force fit Christ’s illustration when He said: “Wheresoever the carcass ih there will the eagles be gathered together.” The longevity of those eagles is wonderful. They live fifty or sixty, and sometimes a hundred years. Ah, that explains what David meant when he says: “Thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” I saw a shepherd with the folds of his coat far bent outward ancT 1 wondered what was contained in that amplitude of apparel, and I said to the dragoman: “What has the shephentgot under his coat?” And the dragoman said: “It is a very young lamb he is currying; it is too young and too weak and too cold to keep up with the flock.” At that moment I saw the lamb put its head out from the shepherd’s bosom, and I said: “There it is now, Isaiah’s description of the tenderness of God—He shall gatbepthe lambs with His arm and carry them in His bosom.” v Passing by a village home in the Holy Land about noon, I saw a great crowd in and around a. private house, and I said to the dragoman: “David, what is going on thore?” He said: “homebody has recently died there, and their neighbors go in for several days after to sit down and weep with the bereaved.” There it is, I said, the old scriptural custom: “And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother.” Early in the morning, lassing by a cemetery in the Holy Land, I saw among the graves about fifty women dressed in blt.ck, and they were crying: “Oh, my CLild!” “Oh, my husband!” "Ob, my father!” "Oh, my mother!” Our dragoman told us that every morning very early for. three mornings after a burial the women go to the sepulcher, and after that every week very early for a year. As I saw this group iust after daybreak, I said: There it is again, the same old custom referred to in Luke, the evangelist, where'be says: “Certain women which were early at the sepulcher, ”

Bat hero we round ourselves at Jacob’s well, the most famous well in history, most distinguished for two things, because it belonged to the old patriarch after whom it was named, and for the wonderful things which Christ said, seated on this well curb, to the Samaritan woman. We dismount from our horses in a drizzling rain, and our dragoman climbing up to the well over the Rlippery stones, stumbles and frightens us all by nearly falling into it 1 measured the well at the top and found it six feet from enge to edge. Some grass and weeds and thorny growths overhang it In one place the roof is broken through. Large stones embank the walls on all sides. Our dragoman, took pebbles and dropped them in, and from the time they left his hand to the instant they clicked on tho bottom you could hear it was deep, though not as deep as once, for every day travelers are applying the same ^test, and though in the time of Maundrell, the traveler, the well was one hundred and sixty-five feet deep, and now it is only seventy-five. So great is tbe curiosity of the world to know about that well that during the dry season a Captain Anderson descended into this well, at one place the sides so close he had to put his hands over his head in order to get through and then he fastfainted away, and lay at tbe bottom of the well as though dead, until hours after recovery, he came to tbe surface. It is not like^ other wells digged down to a fountain that fills it, but a reservoir to catch tbe falling rains, and to that Christ refers when speaking to the Samaritan woman about a spiritual supply, He said that He would, if asked, have given her “living water;’’ that is, Vtto' Iron » flowing tping in 4i»ttw*

—- tion from the water of that well which was rain water. But why did Jacob Seemingly no- need of that reservoir. Wbjr did Jacob go to the vast expense hi: Wing and digging a well perhaps two hundred feet deep as first completed, when, by going a little way off he could have water from other fountains at little or no expense? Ah, Jacob was wise. Be wanted his owit Well, Quarrels and wart uight arise with other tribes and the supply of water might be cut off, so the shovels and pick-axes and boring instruments were ordered and the well ef nearly ftftif thousand years age was stthk through tbh solid rohk. Wheh Jacob thus Wisely insisted Oh haying his oWU Weil he taught us not to he unnecessarily dependent on others. Independence of business character. Independence of moral character. Independence of religious character. Have your own well of grace, your own well of courage, your own well of Divine supply. If you are an invalid you have a right to be dependent on others, But if God has given you good health, common sense, and two eyes, and two earn, and two hands, and two feet, Be equipped you for Independence of all the Universe except Himself, if He had meant you to be dependent*on others you would have been built with a cord around your waist to tie fast to somebody else. No; you are built with common sense to fashion your own opinions, with eyes to find your own way, with ears to select your own music, with hands to fight your own battles. There is only one being in the universe whose advice you need and tha t is Gpd. Have your own well and the Lord will fill lb Dig it if need be through two hundred feet of solid rock. Dig it with your pen, or dig it when there is and and ahuiifountaius ahd

wun your yara-sticK, or aig it witn your sbovel, or dig it with your Bible. Young man, drop cigars and cigar* ettes and wine cups, and tbe Sunday ex* oursions and build your own house and have your own wardrobe and be your own capitalist “Why, I have only flve hundred dollars income a year!” says some one. Then spend four hundred of it in living and ten per cent of it or fifty dollars, in benevolence and the other fifty in beginning to dig your own well. Or, if you bave a thousand dollars a year, spend eight hundred of it in living, ten per sent, or one hundred dollars, in benevolence, and the remaining one hundred dollars in beginning to dig your own well. The largest bird that ever flew through the air was hatched out of one egg, and the greatest estate was brooded out of one dollar. I suppose when Jacob began to dig this well on whoso curb we are now seated this December noon, it was a dry season then as now and some one comes up and says: "Now, Jaeob, suppose you get the well fifty feet deep or two hundred feet deep and there should be no water to fill it, would you not feel silly?” People passing along the road and looking down from Mount Gerizim or Mount Ebal near by would laugh and say: "That is Jacob’s well, a great hole in the rock, illustrating the man’s folly.” Jocob replied: “Theie never has been a well in Palestine or any other country, that once thoroughly dug was not sooner or later filled from the clouds, and this will be no exception.” For months after Jacob had completed the well people wont by and out of respect for the deluded old man put their hand over their mouth to bide a snicker, and the well remained as dry as the bottom of a kettle that has been banging over the fire for three hours., But one day the sun was drawing water and the lyind got round to the east and it began to drizzle and then great drops splashed all over the well-curb and the heavens opened their reservoir and the rainy season poured its floods for six weeks and there came maidens to the well with empty pails and carried them away full and the camels thrust their mouths into the troughs and were satisfied, and the water in the well was three feet deep, and fifty feet deep and two hundred feet deep, and all the Bedouins of the neighborhood and all the passers-by realized that Jacob was wise in having his own well. My hearer, it is your part to dig your own well and it is God’s part to fill it You do your part and He will do His part Much is said about “good luok,” but people who are industrious and selfdenying almost always have good luck. You can afford to be laughed at because of your application and economy, for when you get your well dug, and filled, it will be your turn to laugh.

But look up from tbis famous woll, ami see two mountains and the plain between them on wbiob was gathered the largest religious audience that ever assembled on earth, about five hundred thousand people, Mount Gerizim, about eight hundred feet high on one side, and on the other, Mount Ebal, the former called the Mount of Blessing and the latter called the Mount of Cursing. At Joshua’s command six tribes stood on Mount Gerizim and read the blessings for keeping the law, and six tribes stood on Mount Ebal reading the curses for breaking the law, while five hundred thousand people on the plain cried amen, with an emphasis that must have made the earth tremble. "I do not believe that,” says some one, “for those mountain tops are two miles apart, ihid how could a voice be heard from top to top? ” My answer is that while the tops are two miles apart, the bases of the mountains are only half a mile apart, and the tribes stood on the sides of the mountains, and the air is so clear, and the acoustic qualities of this great natural amphitheater so perfect that voices can be distinctly heard from mountain to mountain, as has been/ demonstrated by travelers fifty times in the last fifty years. Can you imagine any thing more thrilling and sublime, and overwhelming than what transpired on those two mountain sides, and in the plain between, and the responsive service went on, and thousands of voices on Mount Gerizim cried: “Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the fields, blessed shall be thy basket and thy store!” and then from Mount Ebal, thousands of voices responded, crying: “Cursed be be that removeth his neighbor’s landmark! Cursed be ho that maketh the blind to wander out of the way,” and then there rolled up from all the spaces betweep the mountains that one wort] which th% devout of earth close their prayers, and the glorified of Heaven finish their doxologies: “Amen! Amen!”—that scene only to be surpasted by the times which are coming, when the churches and the aoademies of music, and the auditoriums of earth, no longer large enough to hold the worshipers of God, the parks, the mountain sides, the great natural amphitheaters of the valleys, shall be filled with the outpouring populations of tlie earth, and mountain shall reply to mountain, ’«s Mount Gerizim to Mount Ehalr and all the people between shall ascribe riches, and honor, and glory, And dominion, and victory to God the Lamb, and there shall arise an Amen like the booming of the heavens mingling with the thunder of the seas. On and on we ride until now we hive corn s to Shiloh, n dead city on a hill surrounded by rocks, Bboep, goats, olive gardens and vineyards.

Home to thy God. O prodigal ! But I turn from this Shiloh of Eli’s sudden decease under bad news from his boys, and find oloso by what is called the “Meadow of the Feast.” While this anoient city was in the height of its prosperity, on this ‘‘Meadow of the Feast*’ there was an annual ball where the maidens of the city amid Clapping Cymbals and a blare of trumpets danced in glee, upon which thousands of spectators gazed. But hd danCo since the World stood eVer broke Up ih such a strange way as the OrtC the Bible describes. One night while by the light of the lamps and torches these gaieties went on, two hundred llenjamites, who had been hidden behind the rocks and among the trees, dashed upon the scene. They came not to injure or destroy, bull, wishing to set up households of their own, the women of their own land having been slain in battle, and by preconcerted arrangement each one of the two hundred Bbnjamites seized, the one whom he chose for the queen of his home, and carried her away to large estate and beautiful residence, for these two hundred Benjamitos had inherited the wealth of a nation. - But we must this afternoon, our last day before reaching Nazareth, pitch our tent on the most famous battle-.field of all time—the Plain of Esdraelon. What must have been the feelings of the Prince of Peace as He crossed it on the why from Jerusalem to Nazareth! Not a flower blooms there but has in its veins the inherited blood of flowers that drank the' blood of fallen armies. Hardly a foot of the ground that has not at some time been -gullied with war-chariots or trampled with

me noois oi cavalry, it is a plain reaching from the Mediterranean to the Jordan. Upon it look down the mountains of Tabor and Gilboa and Carmel. Through it rages at certain seasons the River Kishon, which swept down the armies of Sisera, the battle occurring in November, when there is almost always a shower of meteors, so that “the stars in their courses” were said to have fmght against Sisera. Through this plain drove Jehu, and the iron chariots of the Canaanites, scythed at the hubs of the wheels, hewing down their awful swathes of death, thousands in a minute. The Syrian armies, the Turkish armies, the Egyptian armies again and again trampled it. There they career across it David and Joshua, and Godfrey, and Richard Coeur de Lion, and Baldwin, and Saladin—a plain not only famous for the past, but famous because the Bible says the great decisive battle of the world will be fought there—the battle of Armageddon. To me the plain was the more absorbing because of tho desperate battles here and in regions round in which the Holy Cross, the very two pieces of wood on which Jesus was supposed to have been crucified, was carried as a standard at the head of the Christian host; and that night, closing my eyes in my tent on the Plain of Esdraelon—for there are some things we can see better with eyes shut than open—the scenes of that ancient war came before me. The twelfth century was dosing, and Saladin at the head of eighty thousand mounted troops was crying “Ho for Jerusalem! Ho for all Palestine!” and before them every thing went down, but not without unparalleled resistance. In one place one hundred and thirty Christians were surrounded by many thousands of ifuriov.s Mohammedans. For one whole day the one hundred and thirty held out against these thousands. Tennyson's “Six Hundred,” when some one had blundered,” were eclipsed by these one hundred and thirty fighting for the Holy Cross. They took hold the lances which had pierced them,.with death wounds, and pulling them out of their own breasts and sides, burled them back again at the enemy. On went the fight, until all but one Christian had fallen, and he, mounted on the last horse, wielded his battlo axe right and left till his horse fell under the plunge of the juvelins. and the rider, making the sign of the cross toward the sky, gave up his life on the point of a score of spears. But soon after, the last bactle came. History portrays it, poetry chants it, painting colors it, and all ages admire that last struggle to keep in possession the wooden cross on which Jesus was said to have expired. It was a battle in which mingled the fury of devils and the grandeur of angels. Thousands of dead Christians on this side. Thousands of dead Mohammedans on the other side. The battle was hottest close around the wooden cross upheld by tho Bishop of Ptolemais, himself wounded and dying. And when the Bishop of Ptolemais dropped dead, the Bishop, of Lydda seized the cross and again lifted it carrying it onward into a wilder and fiercer fight, and sword against javelin, and battle-axe upon helmet, and piercing spear against Splintering shield. Horses and men tumbled into heterogenous death. Now the wooden cross on which tho armies of Christians bad kept their eye begins to waver, begins to descend. It falls! and the wailing of the Christian host at its disappearance drowns the huzzah of

the victorious Moslems. But that standard of the cross only seemed to fall. It rides the sky to-day in triumph. Five hundred million souls, the mightiest army of the ages, are following it, and where that goes they will go, across the earth and up the mighty steeps of the heavens. In the twelfth century it seemed to go down, but in the nineteenth century it is the mightiest symbol of glory and triumph, and means more than any other standard, whether inscribed with eagle, or lion, or bear, or star, or crescent. That which Saladin trampled on the plain of E-sdraelon I lift to-day for your marshaling. The cross! The cross! The foot of it planted in the earth it saves, tho top of it pointing to the heavens to which it will take you, and the outspread beam of it like outstretched arms of invitation to all nations. Kneel at its foot Lift your eye to its victim. Swear eternal allegiance to its power. And as that mighty symbol of pain und triumph is kept before us, we will realise bow insignificant are the little crosses we are called to bear, and Will tho more cheerfully carry them. Must Jen s t ear tho cross alone Ami nil tho world go free? , No; theru’g a cross for every one.

I"l WHOSE POCKET? A HnalHk Argument For Protoetlou Ek> jhnd ^FroMUoi and Robbery Both ‘•Keep Money in th« CoduttV-Labdr and National Wealth. A Tory common argument brought let'; ward by the protectionists in support ;1 their system, Is that when goods art bought from the home producer, or when wages are paid to the honM laborer, you keep the money at homo, and therefore the Nation suffers no lost. The money has not left the Country! they say, and We are jtist as Well off at We Were be fate. They db not see that tbott so-called “argument” proves far too much. They do hot see that there is any fotce in their robbery is not an evil; for a robbet does hot take his booty out df the coure try, he stays at home and enjoys his stealings. This is the legitimate conclusion to which the “argument” leads. Indeed one of the leading protection or gans of the Un ted States has just had the brutal frankness to carry the “argument” to precisely this extreme. This newspaper is the New York Press, founded to spread the protection heresy, and presided over by that archprotectionist, Kobert P. Porter, until be was appointed to make a muss of the censu^tin a jrecent issue of this organ therO aro two editorials which bear upon the" protective tariff. One editorial argues that, although the labor cost ol making an article in the United States be double what it is in England, still it pays the country at large better tc make the article here; for in that cast: the money paid is not lost to the country, “for it is just as much a part of the wealth of the country in one man’s hands as in another’s”

rue second article is reniaruaoie as showing how the editor does not hesitate to apply this argument even tc downright robbery. He writes an editorial on "Hoarded Currency in the Country," beginning with this sentence! "Robbers who enteral an Ohio farmer’s house in the deacLtff night made him give up his gold v^pch and $300 in gold at tho point of a pistol.” The editot comments upon this faot at some length, raises the question whether our farmers, who havo been thinking themselves so poor, may not hare $300,000,000 “ hidden away In old stockings, tin cups, china teapots and other odd receptacles,” and then comes to the conclusion that "a j few robber raids like that in Ohio will send their money back into bank vaul ts, where it can be utilized as a medium of exchange,"and the editor adds: “That ..would be a public gain, and new proof that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.” Most astounding! Robbery is a "public gain!” It is easy now to see how the protectionist mind takes so naturally to the idea that the tariff is not to be condemned on the mere ground that it gives ono man’s money to another man. A wealthy merchant who is a protectionist has recently made this statement: "I can easily see how the tariff helps one man at another’s expense; I can watch the tariff dollar as it leaves the consumer’s pocket, and can trace it all along down the line till it reaches the pocket of the manufacturer. But I see no moral wrong in that” What is to he said of such men as this merchant and the editor of the Press? If they think that robbery is not wrong, can you convince them that it is wrong? If they say a rose is not sweet can you prove to them that it is sweet? But there is one thing that can be done. Let the tariff once rob them, let it do so in suoh a way that they can calculate the robbery in hard cash, and they will very quickly change their views about tariff morals. A case ol this kind occurred recently in New York. An oculist of that city returned from Europe hr nging with him a $200 microscope, wh'ch he very much needed in his work, and which is not made at all by American manufacturers. The tariff fee which the United States Government took out of his pocket as a penalty for bringing in this useful instrument was $175. The oculist had been a protectionist all his life, had doubtless thought that transferring money from ono man’s pocket to the pockets of another man was not wrong; but when it transferred money from his pocket to the tune of $175 the scales fell from his eyes and he saw a great light He no longer believes in protection and has voted for a Democratic Congressman for the first time in his life. That is the only way such people’s eyes can be opened. But going back to the Ohio farmer who was robbed, what is the matter with the editor’s reasoning facilties, when hb calls that robbe-y a “publio gain?” His error lies in overlooking the nature of money as the representative of the labor performed by its holder. Suppose that farmer was a wool raiser and had received th s $300 as the pr.ee of 1,000 pounds of wool All the labor that went into tho production of this wool is absolutely lost when his $300 was taken by the robbers. It will not do to argue that the country has the wool all the same, and therefore the farmer’s labor was not lost, for the wool no longer represents the farmer’s labor but the labor of the manufacturer, who bought it Before the purchase the manufacturer held this $300 as the return for labor which he and his men had put into the manufacturer of 000 yards of cloth; but after the purchase he holds 1,000 pounds of wool as the reward of that labor. The wool must now no longer be considered in reference to the farmer who produced it for he has the value of it in money; but it must he considered solely in reference to the labor of the manufacturer and his men, for it now represents to them the product of their labor.

Hut bow does the matter stand as between the farmer and the robbers? The farmer received 1,000 pounds of wool which goes into the general wealth of the country; but the robbers have contributed nothing to the general wealth in order to come into possession of the £300; have been idlers, have been making the country poorer by eating its bread in idleness. To make tbe circuit of exchange complete let us suppose that the robbers buy two horses with this £300; then the account of the three parties would stand as folllows: The manufacturer’s account: Contrt buted to National wealth, 600 yards cloth. Received in payment, 1,000 pounds wool. The farmers’ account: Contributed 1,000 pounds wool. Received in pay ment, nothing. The robbers' account: Contributed nothing. Received in payment, two horses. Here the element of money is entirely removed and only commodities are taken into consideration. Let any man now examine this series of accounts and he will very easily see where the fallacy of tbe protectionist newspaper lies. He will find lhattbe farmer has been laboring in order that the robbers may ride, and tbe labor which the robbers ought to have performed for the community in order to get those horses honeBtly has not been performed. They have contributed nothing, and the farmer has nothing. Does it make no difference, then, that the >300 is still in the country, and that “this money finds its way back into bank vaults?” The Ohio farmer who spent bis labor for naught thinks it makes a great deal of difference.

A DOCTOR'S CONFESSION. tfa Doesn’t Take Much Medicine and Ad* vises the Reporter Not To. “Humbug! Of course it is. The so-called science of medicine is a humbug and has been from the time of Hippocrates to the present. Why the biggest crank in the Indian tribes is the medicine man.” “Very frank was the admission, especially so when it came from one of the biggest young physicians of the city, one whose practice is among the thousands, though he lias been graduated but a few years,” says the Buffalo Courier. “Very cosy was his office too, with its cheerful grate fire, its Queen Anne f lrniture, and its many lounges and easy-chaii-s. He stirred the fire lastly, lighted a fresh cigar, and went on. ” “Take the prescriptions laid down in the books and What do you find? Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuffs that would make a healthy man an ihValid. Why in the world science should go to poisons for its remedies I cannot tell, nor can I find any one who can.” “How dees a doctor know the effect of his medicine!” he asked. “Ho calls, prescribes, and goes away. The only way to judge would be to stand over the bed and watch the patient. This cannot be done. So, really, I don’t know how he is to tell What good or hurt ho does. Sometime ago, you remember, the Boston Globe sent out a reporter with a stated set of symptoms. He went to eleven prominent physicians and brought buck eleven di fferent prescriptions. This just shows how much science there is in medicine.” There are local diseases of various characters for which nature provides positive remedies. They may not he included in the regular physician's list, perhaps, because of their simplicity, hut the evidence of their curative power is beyond dispute. Kidney disease is cured by Warner’s Safe Cure, a strictly herbal remedy. Thousands of persons, every year, write as doe3 H. J. Gardiner, of Pontiac, R. I, August 7,1890: “A few years ago I suffered moro than probably ever will be known outside of myself, with kidney and liver complaint It is the old story—I visited doctor after doctor, but to no avail. I was at Newport, and Dr. Blackman recommended Warner’s Safe Cure. 1 commencedthe use of it, and found relief immediately: Altogether 1 took three bottles, and I truthfully state that it cured me.” -. “I want a hard-boiled egg, waiter. Boil It, say, four minutes. And hurry up, too,’ added the traveler; “my train goes in two minutes.”—Harper’s Bazar. Dearness Can’t Be Cared by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness -is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tnbe gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten ore caused by catarrh, which is nothing hut an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

He then recommended it to F. J. Tieronbraun, 1915 Papin street, and to police officer Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of whom were cured by it of chills and fever of several years’ standing. Recently his wife, after a fever of several days’ duration, took a single dose and was perfectly cured. In view of these remarkable cures, and remembering how much money is spent for quinine, so little to bo depended upon, and often so injurious, we can only wish that Shallenberger's Antidote would come into general use.

—The mind of the One de Laval is like a dark lanthorn, only capable of lighting his own path.—Talleyrand. A Tenacious Clutch Is that of dyspepsia. Few remedies do more than palliate this obstinate complaint Try Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, however, and yon will find that it is conquerable, along with its symptoms, heartburn, flatulence, nervousness, and loss of flesh and vigor. Biliousness and constipation frequently accompany it These, besides malarial, rheumati&nnd kidney complaints, are alsosubduable with the Bitters._ —Truth and virtue can do less good in the world than their false, well-acted semblance can do evil.—Talleyrand. Talking of patent medicines —you know the old prejudice. And the doctors—some of them are between you and us. They would like you to think that what’s cured thousands won’t cure you. You’d believe in patent medicines if they didn’t profess to cure everything—and so, between the experiments of doctors, and the ^experiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there’s money in the “ stuff,” you lose faith in everything. And, you can’t always tell the prescription that cures by what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there’s no better way to sell a remedy, than ta tell the truth about it, ana take the risk of its doing just what it professes to do. That’s what the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Yn does with Dr. Pierce’s Golcjen Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Pellets, and , Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. If they don’t do what their makers say they’ll da*—yoi( get your money back*
