I recommend it to all Dyspeptics as a very good remedy.” Ed. Bergeron, General Dealer, Lauzon, Levis, Quebec, writes: “I have used August Flower with the best possible results for Dyspepsia.” C. A. Barrington, Engineer and General Smith, Sydney, Australia, writes: ‘ ‘August Flower has effected a complete cure in my case. It acted like a miracle.” Geo.

It is quite important, when speaking of the longest day in the year, to say what part of the world you are talking about. The latitude of a place changes the length of the day to a remarkable extent. At Stockholm,. Sweden, it is eighteen and a half hours in length. At Spitzbergen the longest day is three and one-half months. At London, England, and Bremen, Prussia, the longest day has sixteen and one-half hours. At Hamburg, in Germany, and Dantzig, in Prussia, the longest day has seventeen hours. At Wardoe. Norway, the longest day lasts from May 21 to July 23, without interruption. At St. Petersburg, Russia, and Tobolsk, Siberia, the longest day is nineteen hours and the shortest five hours. At Tome a, Finland, June 21 brings a day nearly twenty-two hours long, and Christmas qpe less than three hours in length. At New York the longest day is about fifteen hours, and at Montreal, Canada, it is sixteen hours.—Chicago Journal.

The Lazietft Man on Record. Even the preachers are not averse to a joke that lies in the line of the professional funny man. One of them tojd the following in an East-Side church lately when he was invited to speak: A traveler discovered a man lying on the ground one; warm day within a foot or two of the' shade of a tree. “Why don’t you lie in the shade?” he inquired. “I did,” replied the man, “but it has moved away from me and I can't afford to follow it.” “Well, if you are not the best specimen of a lazy man I have ever seen yet! Make me another remark on a par with that and I’ll give you a quarter.” The man said: “Put the quarter into my pocket.” He got it—Buffalo Express. —A citizen of Portland, Me., applied to another citizen for relief, claiming to be in destitute circumstances. He was arrested next day on a charge of false pretenses, as it was discovered that he had a quart of whisky and nine cents when he1 applied for relief. The law wilLnow have to define what “destitute” means. —Oldean Gencst, having been arrested in Lewiston. Me., for refusing 'to pay for a meal, which he had eaten in a restaurant, has been discharged by the Court on the ground that there is no .law in the State; concerning such cases. An act of the Assembly relating to inn holders and boarding-house kee pers is construed not to apply to restaurants. —A new use has been thought out for the phonograph, whiph will save the expense of a burglar alarm.

HOUT WORKS. on Practical Religion by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. Tree IMIiIon Swopilws Neither Time. Place Nor Circumstance* — It U Brer Present to, Guide Our Thoughts and Actions. The followinglliscourse on practioal religion was delivered by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage in Brooklyn and New York (Sty, from the text: Faith without works Is dead.—James II., 10. The Roman Catholic church has been charged with putting too much stress upon good works and not enough upon faith. 1 charge Protestantism with putting not enough stress upon good works as connected with salvation. Good works will never save a man, but if a man have not good works he has no real faith and no genuine religion. There are those who depend upon the fact that they are all right inside, while their conduct is wrong outside. Their religion, for the most part, is made up of talk—vigorous talk, fluent talk, boastful talk, perpetual talk. They will entertain yon by the hour in telling you how good they are. They come up to such a higher life that they have no patience with ordinary Christians in the plain discharge of their duty. As near as I can tell this ocean craft is mostly sail and very little tonnage. Foretopraast stay-sail, foretopmast studding sail, maintopsail, mizzen-topsail—every thing from flying jib to mizzen spanker, but making no useful voyage. Now, the world has got tired of this, and it wants a religion that will work into all the circumstances of life. Wc do not want a new religion, but the old religion applied in all possible directions. Yonder is a river with steep and rocky banks, and it roars like a young Niagara as it rolls on over its rough bed. It does nothing but talk about itself all the way fcorr its .source in the mountain' flTthe place where it empties into the sea. The banks are so steep the cattle can not come down to drink. It does not run one fertilizing rill into the adjoining field. It has not one grist

mill or iaetory on eitner side. it sums in we( weather with chilling1 fogs. No one cares when that river is born among the rocks, and no one cares when it dies into the sea. But yonder is another river, and it mosses its banks with the warm tides, and it rocks with floral lullaby the water lilies asleep on its bosom. It invites herds of cattle and flocks of sheep and coveys of birds to come there to drink. It has three girst mills on one side and six cotton factories ®n the other. It is the wealth of two hundred miles of luxuriant farms. The birds of Heaven chanted when it was born in the mountains, and the ocean shipping will press in from the sea to hail it as it comes do A’n to the Atlantic coast. The one river is the man who lives for himself. The other river is a man who lives for others. Do you know how the site of the ancient City of Jerusalem was chosen? There were two brothers who had adjoining farms. The one brother had a large family, the other had no family. The brother with a large family said: “There is my brother with no family: he must be lonely, and I will try to cheer him up, and I will take some of the sheaves from my field in the nighttime and set them over on his farm, and say nothing about it.” The other brother said: “My brother has a large family, and it is very difficult for him to support them, and 1 will help him along, and I will take some of the sheavesfrom my farm in the night-time and set them over on his farm, and say nothing ibout it.” So the work of transference went on night after night, and night ifter night; but every morning things, seemed to be just as they were, for, though sheaves had been subtracted from each farm, sheaves had also been added, and the brothers were perplexed and could not understand. But one night the brothers happened to meet while making this generous transference, and the spot where they met was so sacred that it was chosen as the site for the city of Jerusalem. If that tradition should prove unfounded it will nevertheless stand as a beautiful allegory .setting forth the idea that whenever a kindly and generous and loving act is performed, that is the spot fit for some temple of commemoration. I have often spoken to you about faith, but now I speak to you about works, for “faith without works is dead.” I think you will agree with me in the statement that the great want of this world is more practical religion. We want practical religion to go into all merchandise. It will supervise the labeling of goods. It will not allow a man to say that a thing was made in one factory when it was made in another. It will not allow the merchant to say that watch was manufactured in • Geneva, Switzerland, when it was manufactured in Massachusetts. It will not allow the merchant to say that wine came from Madeira when it came from California. Practical religion will walk along by the store shelves and tear off all the tags that make misrepresentation. It will not allow the merchant to say that is pure coffee, when dandelion root and chicory and other ingredients go into it. It will not allow him to say that is pure sugar, when there are in it sand and ground glass.

wnen practical religion gets its lull swing in the world it will go down the streets, and it will come to that shoe store. and rip off the gctitious soles of many a fine-looking pair of shoes, and show that it is paste-board sandwiched between the sound leather. And this practical religion will go right into a grocery store, and it will pull out the plug: of all the adulterated sirups, and it will dump into the ash-barrel in front of the store the cassia bark that is sold for cinnamon and the brickdust that is sojd for cayenne pepper; and it will shake out the Prussian blues from the tea leaves, and it-will sift from the flour plaster of paris and bonedust and soapstone, and it will by chemical analysis separate the one quart of Ridgewood water from the few honest drops of oow's milk, and it will throw out the live animalcules from the brown sugar. There has been so much adulteration of articles of food that it is an amazement to me that there is a healthy man or woman in America. Heaven only knows what they put into the spices and into the sugars and into the butter and into the apothecary drug. But chemical analysis and the microscope have made wonderful revelations. The Board of Health of Massachusetts analyzed a great amount of what was called pure coffee. In England, there is a law that forbids the putting of alum in bread. The public authorities examined fifty-one packages of bread, and found them all guilty. The honest physician, writing a prescription, does not know but that it may bring death instead of health to his patient, because then; may be one of the drugs weakened by a oheaper .article, and another drug may be in full force, and so the prescription may have Just the opposite effect intended. Oil of wormwood warranted pure, from Boston, was fouud to have forty-one per cent, of resin and alcohol and chloroform. Sciunmony is one of the most valuable medical drugs. It is very rare, very precious. It is the sap or the gum of a a bush in Syria. The root of an incision is made then'll tftplwed

at this incision to catch the sap or the gum as it exudes. It is very precious, this scammony. But the peasant mixes it with cheaper material; then it is taken to Aleppo, and the merchant there mixes it with a cheaper material; then it comes on to the wholesale druggist in London or New York, and he grixes it with a cheaper material; then it comes to the retail druggist, and he mixes it with a . cheaper material, and by the time the poor sick man gets it into his bottle, it is ashes and chalk and sand, and some of what has been called pure scammony after analysis has been found to be no scammony at all. N ow, practical religion will yet rectify all this. It will go to those hypocritical professors of religion who got a “corner” in corn and wheat in Chicago and New York, sending prices up and up until they are beyond the reach of the poor, keeping these breadstuffs in their own hands, or controling them until the prices going up and up, they were, after awhile, ready to sell, and they sold out, making themselves millionaires in one or two years—trying to fix the matter up with the Lord by building a church or a university or a hospital—deluding themselves with the idea that the Lord would be so pleased with the gift He Would forget the swindle. Now, as such a man may not have any liturgy in which to say his prayers, I will compose for him one which he practically is making; “O, Lord, we, by getting a ‘corner’ in breadstuffs, swindled the people of the United States out of ten million dollars, and made suffering all up and down the land, and we would like to compromise this matter with Thee. Thou knowest it was a scaly job, but then it was smart. Now, here we compromise it. Take one per cent, of the profits, and with that one per cent, you can build an asylum for these poor, miserable ragamuffins of the street, and I will take a. yacht and go to Europe, forever and ever. Amen!”

An: my menoc 11 a man natn gotten his estate wrongfully and he build a line of hospitals and universities from here to Alaska, he can not atone for it. After awhile this man, who has been getting a “corner” in wheat, dies, and then Satan gets a “comer” on him. He goes into a great, long Black Friday. There is a “break” in the market. According to Wail street parlance he wiped others out, and now he is himself wiped out. No collaterals on whieh to make a spiritual loan. Eternal defalcation! But this practical religion will not only rectify all merchandise; it will also rectify all mechanism, and all toil. A time will come when a man will work as faithfully by the job as he does by the day. You say when a thing is slightingly done; “Oh, that was done by the job.” You can tell by the swiftness or slowness with which a hackman drives whether he is hired by the hour or by the excursion. If he is hired by the excursion he whips up the horses so as to get around and get another customer. All«styles of work have to be inspected. Ships inspected, horses inspected, machinery inspected. Boss to watch the journeymen. Capitalist coming down unexpectedly to watch the boss. Conductor of a city car sounding the bell punch to prove his honesty as a passenger hands to him a clipped nickel. All things must be watched and inspected. Imperfection in the wood covered with putty. Garments warranted to last until you put them on the third time. Shoddy in all kinds of clothing. Chromos. Pinchbeck. Diamonds for a dollar and a half. Bookbindery that holds on until you redd the third chapter. Spavined horses, by skillful dose of jockeys, for several days made to look spry. Wagon tires poorly put on. Horses poorly shod. Plastering that cracks without any provocation and falls off. Plumbing that needs to be plumbed. Imperfect car wheel that halts the whole train with; a hot box. So little practical religion in the mechanism of the world. I tell you, my friends, the law of man will never rectify these things. It will be the allpervading influence of the practical religion of'Jesus Christ that will make the change for the better. Yes, this practical religion will also go into agriculture, which is proverbially honest, but needs to be rectified, and it will keep the farmer from sending to the New York market veal that is too young to kill, and when the farmer farms on shares it will keep the man who does the work from making his half three-fourths, and it will keep the farmer from building his post and rail fence on his neighbor's premises, and it will make’’him shelter his cattle in the winter storm, and it will keep the old elder from working op Sunday afternoon in the new ground where nobody sees him. And this practical religion will hover over the house, and over the barn, and over the field, and over the orchard. Yes, this practical religion of which I speak will come into the learned professions. The lawyer will feel the responsibility in defending innocence and arraigning evil, and expounding the law, and it will keep him from charging for briefs he never wrote, and for pleas he never made, and for percentages he never earned, and from robbing

widow and orphan because they are defenseless. Yes, this practical religion will come into the physician's life, and he will feel his responsibility as the conservator of the public health, a profession honored by the fact that Christ Himself was a physician. And it will make him honest, and when he does not understand a case he will say so, not trying to cover up lack of diagnosis with ponderous technicalities, or send the patient to a reckless drug-store because the apothecary happens to pay a percentage on the prescriptions sent. And this practical religion will come to the school teacher, making her feel her responsibility in preparing our youth for usefulness and for happiness and for honor, and will keep her from giving a sly box to a dull head, chastising him for what he can not help, and sending discouragement all through the after years of a lifetime. This practical religion will also come to the newspaper men, and it will help them in the gathering of the news, and it will help them in setting forth the best interests of society, and it will keep them from putting the sins of the world in larger type than its virtues, and its mistakes than its achievements. Yes, this religion—this practical re-ligion-will come and put its hand on what is called good society, elevated society, successful society, so that people will have their expenditures within their income, and they will exchange the hypocritical “not at home” for the honest explanation, “too tired,” or “too busy to see you,” and will keep innocent reception from becoming intoxicated conviviality. Yea, there is great opportunity for missionary work in what are called the successful classes of society. It is no rare thing now to see a fashionable woman intoxicated in the street, or the rail-car, or the restaurant. The number of fine ladies who drink too much is increasing. Perhaps you may find her at the reception in most exalted company, but she has made too many visits to the wine-room, and now her eye is glassy, and after awhile her cheek is unnaturally flushed, and then ,she falls into fits of excruciating laughter about nothing, and then she offers sickening flatteries, telling some Jiomelj man

how well he looks, and then she is helped into the carriage, and by the time the carriage gets to her home it takes the husband and the coachman to get her upstairs. The report is, she was taken sdddenly ill at a German. Ah! no. She took too much champagne and mixed liquors and got drunk. That was all. , Yea, this practical religion will have to come in and fix up the marriage relation in America. There are members of churches who have too many wives and too many husbands. Society needs to be expurgated and washed, and fumigated end Christianized. We have missionary societies to reform Mulberry street, New York, and Bedford street, Philadelphia, and Shoreditch, London, and the Brooklyn docks, but there is need of an organization to reform much that is going ,on in Beacon street, and Madison square and Rittenhouse square, and West End, and Brooklyn Heights, and Brooklyn Hill. We want this practical religion not only to take hold of what are called the lower classes, but to take hold of what are called the higher classes. The trouble is that people have an idea they can do all their religion on Sunday with hymn book and prayer book, and liturgy, and some of them sit in church rolling up their eyes as though they were ready for translation, when their Sabbath i s bounded on all sides by an inconsistent life, and while you are expecting to come out from under their arms the wings of an angel, there come out from their forehead the horns of a beast. Now you say: “That is a very beautiful theory, but is it possible to take one's religion into all the avocations and business of life?’’ Yes, and I will give you some specimens. Medical doctors who took their religion into every-day life: Dr. John Abercrombe, of Aberdeen, the greatest Scottish physician of his day, his book on “Disease of the ■iLwlii and Spinal Cord,” no more wonderful than his book on “Philosophy of the Moral Feelings,” and often kneeling at the bedside of his patients to commend them to God in prayer; Dr.

as an author, dying- under the benediction of the sick of Edinburgh, myself remembering him as he sat in his study in Edinburgh, talking to me about Christ and his hope of Heaven. And a score of Christian family physicians in Brooklyn just as good as they were. Lawyers who carried their religion into their profession: The late Lord Cairns, the Queen's adviser for many years, the highest legal authority in Great Britain—Lord Cairns, every summer in his vacation, preaching as an evangelist among the poor of his country; John McLean, Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States and president of the American Sundayschool Union, feeling more satisfaction in the latter office than in the former; and scores of Christian lawyers as eminent in the Chugph of God as they are eminent at the bar. Merchants who took their religion in to every-day life: Arthur Tappan derided in his day because he established that system by which we come t<*£nd out the commercial standing of Inkiness men, starting that entire system derided for it then, himself, as I knew him well, in moral character Al. Monday mornings inviting to a room in the top of his store house the clerks of hi^ establishment, asking them about their worldly interests and their spiritual interests. then giving out a hymn, leading in prayer, giving them a few words of good advice, asking them what church they attended on the Sabbath, what the test was, whether they had any especial troubles of their own. Arthur Tappan. I never heard his eulogy pronounced. I pronounce Mt now. And other merchants just as good. William E. Dodge, in the iron bitsiness; Moses II. Grinnell, in the shipping business; Peter Cooper, in the glue business. -Scores of men just as good as they were. Farmers who take their religion into their occupation. Why, this minute their horses and wagons stand around all the meeting houses in America. They began this day by a prayer to God, and when they got home at noon, after they had put their horses up, will offer a prayer to God at the table, seeking a blessing, and this summer there will be in their fields not one dishonest head of rye, not one dishonest ear of corn, not one dishonest apple. Worshiping God to-day away up among the Berkshire Hills, or away 'down amid the lagoons of Florida, or away out amid the mines of Colorado, or along the banks of the Passaic and the Raritan, where I knew them better because I went to school with them. Mechanics who took their religion into their occupations: James Brindley, the famous millwright; Nathaniel Bowditch, the famous ship chandler; Elihu Burritt, the famous blacksmith, and hundreds and thousands of strong arms which have made the hammer and the saw and the adze and the drill and the axe sound in the grand march of our national industries.

uive juui iiciii t iu uuu ana tntru an your life with good works. Consecrate to llim your store, your shop, your banking house, your factory and your home. They say no one will hear it. God will hear it. That is enough. You hardly know of any one else than Wellington as connected with the victory at Waterloo; but he did not do the hard fighting. The hard fighting was done by the Somerset cavalry and the Hyland cavalry, , and the Ryland regiments, and Kempf’s infantry, and the Scots Grays, and the Life Guards. Who cares, if only the day is won. In the latter part of the last century a girl in England became a kitchenmaid in a farm-house. She had many styles Of work, and much hard work. Time rolled on, and she married the son of a weaver in Halifax. They were industrious; they saved money enough after awhile to build them a home. On the morning of the day when they were to enter that home the jVjng wife arose at four o’clock, entered the front door-yard, knelt down, consecrated the place to God, and them made this solemn vow: “Oh Lord, if Thou wilt bless me in this plaee, the poor shall have a share of it.” Time rolled on and a fortune rolled in. Children grew up around thein, and they all became affluent, one a member of Parliament, in a public place decided that his success came from that prayer of his mother in the door-yard. All of them were affluent. - Four thousand hands in tl eir factories. They built dwelling houses for laborers at cheap rents, and w hen they were invalid and could not pay they had the houses for nothing. One of these sons came to this country, admired our parks, went back, bought land, opened a great public park and made it a present to the city of Halifax, J England. They endowed an orphanage, they endowed ' two almshouses. AU England has heard of the generosity and the good works of the Crossleys. Moral: Consecrate to God your small means and your humble surroundings, and yon will have larger means and grander s urro undings. “G odliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” “Have faith in God by all means, but remember that faith without works is dead.” —Some men buy umbrellas; some men achieve them, and «om« get wet and Sifting*.

EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER. The Commotion Censed by the Statement , of s Physician. An unusual article ^rom the Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle, was recently published in this paper and was a subject of much comment. That the article caused' even more commotion in Rochester, the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester*but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since which was duly published, detailing his -remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would tie impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his residence, when the following interview occurred: “That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?" “Every one of them and many additional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think 1 was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt clull pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious. “The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of kidney disease more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to, help the lungs. We should hot waste our'time trying to relieve the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments." “This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it, Doctor?"

irreciseiy. iuuusauusi ui aio torturing people to-day, which in reality are Bright’s disease in seme of its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. 1 can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I see now were caused by Bright’s disease.” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy. X am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also.” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on N. St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly: “It is true that Bright’s disease had iucreased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’70 to ^S0 its growth was over 350 per cent. Irnok at the prominent men it has oarried off, and is taking off every year, for while many are dying apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase has been checked and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy.” “Do you think many people are afilicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?” “A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright’s disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,’ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed —his color and command both left him and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys;’ and in less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” “You know of Dr. Hcnionis case?” “Yes, I have both read aud heard Of it.” “It is very wonderful is it not?” “No more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe then that Bright’s disease can be cured.” “I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends.” “You speak of your own experience, what was it?” “A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘there goes a man who will bo dead within a year.’ 1 believe his words would have proved true if I’ had not fortunately used the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. EL H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor?” was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one of the analysts of the State Board of Health.

••yes, sir." “What did this analysis show you!” *‘A serious disease of the kidneys.” ‘‘Did you think Mr. Warner could recover!” “No, sir, I did not think it possible.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him!” “I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure and harmless ” The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore In the community is beyond . question, and the statements they make cannot for a moment be doubted. Dr. HAion’s experience shows that Bright’s disease of the kidneys is one or ’lie in"”’ ceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time.

Om English. Bryant's advice to a young contributor; than which the . London Athenaeum says “sounder on the same subject was never penned,” is worth starting on a new round of usefulness. “I observe,” wrote he, “that you have used, several French expressions in your letter. I think if you will study the English language tbht you will find it capable of expressing all the ideas yoa may have. I have always found it so, and in all that I have written I do not recall an instance where I was tempted to use a foreign word, but that, on searching, I have found a better one in my own language. Be simple, unaffected; be honest in your speaking and writing. Never use a long word where a short one will do as well. Call a spade by its name and not a well-known instrument of manual labor; let a home be a home and not a residence; a place, not a locality, and so on of the rest When a short word will do, you will always lose by a long one.—Detroit Free Press. Catarrh Cant Bo Cared with local applications, as they can not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it vou have to take internal remedies. Half’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure i3 no quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of*the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Props., Toledo, O.

A prudent housewife will not put off halving until to-morrow the bread that should be done to-dayv—Texas Siftings, Commendable, All claims not consistent with the high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the Cal Fig Syrup Company. It acts gently ^m. the Kidneys, liver and bowels, cleansing the system effectually, but it is not a cure-all and makes no preteusions that every bottle will not substantiate.

Borne on the Wings of the Wind The miasmata, or aerial germs of chills and fever and other miasmatic disease, are disseminated beyond the place of tlreir origin. Protected by Hostetter's. Stomach Bitters, you may breathe them unharmed. Otherwise, apprehend trouble. Not only malarial infection, but rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, debility and kidney complaints are successfully controlled by the great preventive and remedy. “A min’s work is from sun to sun,” and woman’s work descends from daughter to (laughter.—Indianapolis Journal. „ Wii.uston. Florida, Oct. ISth, 1889. Messrs A. T. Shallexbehokk & Co., Rochester, Pa. Geuts:—Since my first order for .your Antidote, in 1880,1 have kept the medicine constantly in stock. It is unquestionably the best medicine for chills I ever saw. I know of one case of eight mouths’ standing which was cured permanently by one dose, after all other remedies had failed. I have never known it to fail to cure in a single instance. Yours truly, • " J. B. Epperson. “I have the drop on you,” said the rain to the man who had forgotten his umbrella. —Washington Post. There is one remedy that has saved many a debilitated, blood poisoned mortal to a life of happy usefulness and robust health. It will save you if you will give it atrial.

It’s too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time it means nothing. Words—only words. This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, is made under the hope that you won’t want your money back, and that you won’t claim the reward. Of course. So, whoever is honest in making it, and works—not on his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer whom you know, must have something he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn’t stand a year without it. What is lacking is confidence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the “ average practice.” 1 Dr. Pierce’s medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn’t apparent. Dpesn’t it strike you that a medicine which the makers have so much confidence in, is the medicine for you? GRATUITOUS ADVICE. This species of advice is not always accept* able, but in many instances much benefit ‘ would be derived were it acted upon. No section of the country is exempt from disease. To know the best means of combatting this common enemy, with the least injury to our pockets and tastes, is certainly a great ad* vantage. We must expect Torpid Liver, Con* rested Spleen, Vitiated Bile and Inactive Bowels, and all prudent persons will supply themselves with Tuft’s Pills, which stimulate the Liver, relieve the engorged Spleen, determine a healthy flow of Bile, thus regulating the bowels and causing all unhealthy secretions to pass ofl‘in a natural manuer. “An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure.” Be advised and uae _ Tutt’s Liver Pills, Price, 26c.
