THINGS TO FORGET. ’ ®®Y. T> .OeWltt Tataaage Enumer9omo of Them. Jf Go« Mn Promise to Forget Some of Onr MjMiee.lt, U We Repent, Snrelf »Ve Map Do Some For. Betting Also. C| -' ' The following discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle from the text: Their sins and their tenuities will I remember no more —Hebrews vtii., 12. The national Rower of the Egytians is the heliotrope, of the Assyrians is the water lily, of the Hindoos is the chrysanthemum. We have no national florver, but there is hardly any flower more suggestive to many of ns than the “forget-me-not” We all like to be remembered, and one of bur misfortunes is that there are so many things we can not remember. Mnemonics, or the art of assisting memory, is an important art It was first suggested by Simon

kies of Cos five hundred years B. C. Persons who had but little power to recall events, \or put facts and names anil dates in proper processions have through this art, had their memory reenforced to an almost incredible extent. A good memory is an invaluable possession. By all means, cultivate it. 1 had an aged friend, who, detained all bight at a miserable depot in waiting for a sail train fast in the snow-banks, entertained a group Of some ten or fifteen clergymen, likewise detained on their way home from a meeting of Presbytery, by, first, with a pieee of chalk, drawing out on the black and sooty walls of the depot, the characters of Walter Scott’s “Marinion,” and then reciting from memory the whole of that poem of some eighty pages in fine print. My, old friend through great age lost his memory, and when I asked him if this story of the railroad depot was true, he said! “I do not remember now, but it was Just like me.” “'Let me see,” said he to me, “have I ever seen you before?” “Yes,” I said, “ybu were my guest last night and I was with you an hour ago.” What an awful contrast in that man between the greatest memory 1 ever knew and no memory. But right along wit^i this art of recollection, which 1* can not too highly eulogize, is one quite as important, and yet I never heard it applauded. I mean the art of forgetting. There is a splendid faculty in that direction that we all need to cultivate. We might through that proeess he ten times happier and more useful than we now are. We have been told that forgetfulness is a weakness and ought to be avoided by all possible means. So far from a weakness, my text ascribes It to Hod. It is the very top of Omnipotence that God is able to obliterate a part of His own memory. If we repent of sin and rightly seek the Divine forgiveness, the record of the misbehavior is not ; only crossed o if the books, hut Hod actually lets it pass out of memory. “Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” So remember no more is to forget, and you can not make anything else out of it. Hod’s power of forgetting is so great that if two men appeal to Him, and the one man, after a life all right, gets the sins of his heart pardoned, and the other man, after a life of abomination, gets pardoned, Hod remembers no more aeainst one than air.iinst the

Mttor. The entire past of both the ivith his imperfections, ami

te, w k with his debaucheries, rated in the one case Forgotten, forever s-fisd tfaesr-ie4

iquities will I remember no more.” This sublime attribute of forgetfulness on the part of God you and I need, in our finite way, to imitate. You will do well to cast out'of your recollection all wrongs done you. During the course of one's life he is sure to be misrepresented, to ’-e lied about, to be injured. There are those who keep these things fresh by frequent rehearsal. If things have appeared in print they keep them in their scrap-book, for they cut these precious paragraphs out of newspapers or books and at leisure times look them over, or they have them tied up in bundles or thrust in pigeon-holes, and they frequently regale themselves and their friends by an inspection of these flings, these sarcasms, these falsehoods, these cruelties. I have known gentlemen who carried 3 them in their pocket-books, so that they could easily get at these irritations, and they put their right hand in the inside of the coat pocket over their heart and say: “Look here! Let me show you something.” Scientists catch wasps and hornets and poisonous insects and transfix them in curiosity bureaus for study, and that is well. But these of whom 1 speak .catch the wasps and the hornets and poisonous insects and play with them and put them on themselves and on their friends and see how far the noxious things can jump and show how deep they can sting. Have no such scrap book. Keep nothing in your possession that is disagreeable. Tear up the falsehoods and the slanders and the hypercriticisms. Imitate the Lord in my text and forget, actually forget, sublimely forget. There is no happiness for you in any other plan or procedure. You see all around you in the churches and out of the church dispositions acerb, malign, cynical, pessimistic. "Do you know how these men * and women got that disposition? It was by the embalmment of things pantherine and viperous. They have spent much of their time in tailing the roll of all the rats that have nibbled at their reputation. Their soul is a cage of vultures. Everything in them is sour or imbittered. The milk of human kindness has been curdled. They do not believe in anybody or anything. If they see two people whispering they think it is about themselves. If they see two people laughing they think it is about themselves. Where there is one sweet pippin in their orchard Th* ^ offit Mi;.v I tim< there are fifty crab apples. They have never been able to forget. They do not want to forget. They never will forget. Their wretchedness is supreme, for no one can be happy if he carries perpetually in mind the mean things thit have been done him. On the other hand, you can find here and there a man or woman (for there are not many of them) whose disposition is genial and summery. Why? Have they always been treated well? Oh, no. Hard things have been said against them. They have been charged with olficiousness; and their generosities have been set down to a defer display, and they have many a time been the subject of tittle-tattle,

Land they have had enough small assaults like gnats and enough great attacks like lions to hare made them perpetually miserable, if they would hare consented to be miserable. But they have had enough Divine philosophy to cast off the annoyances, and they have kept themselves in the sunlight of God's favor, and have realized that these oppositions and hinderances are a part of a mighty discipline, by which they are to be prepared for usefulness and Heaven. The secret of it all is they ■ the help of the Eternal God i to Arget. practical thought: When at let them

a nd misdemeanors there In no need of oar reopening of them again. Suppoae I owe yon a large sum of money and yon are persuaded I am Incapacitated to pay, and yon give me acqntt&r fl'om that obligation, Von shy: "1 cancel that debt. Ad is right now. Start again.* And the next day t conic ifi had Say: “You know abdnt that big debt I owed you. 1 ha«e come in to get yon to let me off. I feel so bad about it I oan not rest. Do let me off. ” You reply with a little impatience: “I did let you off. Don't bother yourself and bother me with any more of that discnssibn.” The following day I come in and say; “My dear sir, about that debt. I can never^ get over the fact that I owed yon that money. It is something that weighs on my mind like a mill* st<p»e, Do forgive me that debt.” This time you clear lose your patience and say: “You are a nuisance. What do you mean by this reiteration of that affair? I am almost sorry f forgave you that debt. Do you doubt my Veracity, or do you not understand the plain language in which 1 told you that debt was canceled?” Well, my friends, there are many Christians guilty of worse folly than that. While it is right that they repent of new sins and of recent sins, what is the use of bothering yourself and insulting God by asking Hup to forgive sins that long ago were forgiven? God has forgotten them. Why do you not forget them? No; you darg the load on with you, and three hun*

dred and snxty-hve times a year, If you pray every day, you ask God to recall occurrences which He has not only forgiven, but forgotten. Quit this folly. I do not ask you less to realize the turpitude of sin, but 1 ask to a higher faith in the promise of God and the full deliverance of Kis mercy. He does not give a receipt for part payment, or so much received on account, but receipt in full, God having for Christ’s sake decreed, “your sins and your iniquities will 1 remember' no more.” As far as possible let the disagreeables of life drop. We have enough things in the present and there will be enough in the future to disturb us without running a special train into the Gone-By to fetch us as special freight things left behind. Some ten years ago, when there was a great railroad strike, I remember seeing all along the route from Omaha to Chicago and from Chicago -to New York hundreds and thousands of freight cars switched on the side tracks, those cars loaded with all kinds of perishable material, decaying and wasting. After the strike was over, did the railroad companies bring all that perished material down to the markets? No, they threw it off, where it was destoyed and loaded up with something else. Let the long train of your thoughts throw off the worse than useless freight of a corrupt and destroyed past, and load up with gratitude and faith and holy determination. We do not please God by the cultivation of the miserable. He would rather see us happy than to see ns depressed. You would rather see your children laugh than to see them cry, and your Heavenly Father has no fondness for hysterics. Not only forget your pardoned transgressions, but allow others to forget them. The chief stock on hand of many people is to recount in prayer meetings and pulpits what big .scoundrels they once were. They not only will not forget their forgiven deficits, but they seem to be determined that the church and the world shall not forget them. If you want to dec law,'‘that"

you have been the chief -ef-sinners and extol the grace .tfefit could'sare such a wretch as Jfou were, do so, but do not (fe-Uttb particulars. Ikf not tell how many times you trot drunk, or to what

bad places you went, car how many free rides you had in the prison van before you were converted. Lump it, brother: give it to us in bulk. If you have any scars got in honorable warfare show them, but if you have scars got in ignoble warfare do not display them. I know you will quote the Bible reference to the horrible pit from whiclLyou weredigged. Yes, be thankful for that rescue, but do not make displays of the mud of that horrible pit or splash it over other people. Sometimes I have felt in Christian meetings discomfitted and unfit for Christian service because I had done none of those things which seemed to be in the estimation of many necessary for Christian usefulness, for I never swore a word, or ever got drunk, or went to compromising places, or was guilty of assault and battery, or ever uttered a slanderous word or ever did anyone a hurt, although I knew my heart was sinful enough; and I said to myself: “There is no use of my trying to do any good for I never went through those depraved experiences,” but afterward I saw consolation in the thought that no one gained any ordination by the laying on of the hands of dissoluteness and infamy. And though an ordinary moral life, ending in a Christian life, may not be as dramatic a story to tell about, let us be grateful to God rather than worry about it, if we have never plunged into outward abominations. It may be appropriate in a meeting of reformed drunkards or reformed debauchees to quote for those not reformed how desperate ''hnd nasty you once were, but do not drive a scavenger’s cart into assemblages of people the most of whom have always been decent aitd respectable. But 1 have been sometimes in great evangelistic meetings where people went into particulars about the sins that they once committed so much so that I felt like putting my hand on my pocket-book or calling for the police lest these reformed men might fall from grace and go at their old business of theft or drunkenness or cut-throatery. If your sins have been forgiven and your life purified, forget the waywardness of the past and allow others to forget it. But what I most want in the light of this text to impress upon my hearers and readers is that we have a sin-for-getting God.' Suppose that on the Last Day—called the Last Day because the sun will never again rise upon our erath, the earth itself being flung into fiery demolition—supposing that on that Last Day a group of infernal spirits should somehow get near enough the gate of Heaven and challenge our entrance, and say: “How oanst Thou, the just Lord, let those souls into the realm of supernatural gladness. Why, they said a great many things they never ought to have said, and they did a great many things they ought never to have come. Sinners are they; sinners all,” And suppose God should deign to answer. He might say: “Yes, but did not My son die for their ransom? Did He not pay the prioe? Not one drop of blood was retained in His arteries, not one nerve of His that was not wrung in the torture. He took in His own body and soul all the suffering that those sinners deserve. They pleaded that sacrifice. They took the full pardon that I promised to all who, through My Son, earnestly applied for it and it passed out' of my mind that they were offenders. I forgot all about it Yes, I forgot all about it ‘Their sins and their iniquities de I remember no sin-forgetting God! That rond, and far above a siniod. How often we W it

forgiveness i _ rebess is often & flimsy affair, ft does not go deep down. It does not reaeh far up. It does not fix things np; the contestants may shake hands, pr, j mssing each other on the highway, they nitty speak the “good-morning” or the “good night,” hut the old cordiality never returns. The relations always remain strained. Then- is something in the demeanor ever after that seems to say: “I would not do you harm, indeed, I wish you well, but that unfortunate affair can never pass out of my mind.” There may be no hard words pass between them, but until death breaks In the same coolness* remains. But God lets our pardoned offenses go Into oblivion. He neVef throws them up to us again, He feels Us kindly toward us as though we had been spotless and positively Angelic hit along'. ... Many years ago A family consisting' of the husband and wife and little girl bf two years lived far out in a cabin on a western prairie. The husband took a few cattle to market. Before he started his little child asked him to buy for her a doll, and he promised. He could, after the sale of the cattle, purchase household necessities, and certainly would not forget the doll he had prom ised. In the village to which he went he sold the cattle and obtained the groceries for his houshold and the doll for his little darling. He started home along the dismal road at nightfall. As he went along on horseback » thunderstorm broke, and in the most lonely part of the road and in the heaviest part of the storm he heard a child cry. Bobbers had been known to do some bad work along that road, and ill was known that this herdsman had money with him, the priee of the cattle sold. The herdsman first thought it was a strategem to have him halt and be despoiled of his treasure, but the child's cry became more keen and rending, and so he dismounted and felt around in the darkness and all in vain, until he thought of a hollow that he remembered near the road where the child might he, and for that he started, and. sunenough, found a little one fagged out and drenched of the storm and almost dead. He wrapped it up as well as he

could and mounted his horse and resumed his journey home. Coming in sight of his cabin he saw it all lighted up, and supposed his wife had kindled all these lights so as to guide her husband through the darkness. But, no. The house was full of excitement and the neighbors were gathered and stow! around the wife of the house who wa s insensible as from some great calamity. On inquiry the returned husband found that the little child of that cabin was gone. She had wandered out to meet her father and get the present he had promised, and the child was lost. Then the father unrolled from the blanket the child he had found in the fields, and. lo! it was his own child, and the lost one of the prairie home, and the cabin quaked with the shout over the lost one found. How suggestive of the fact that once we were lost in the open fields, or among the mountain crags, Hod's wandering children, and He found ns, dying in the tempest, and wrapped ns in the mantle of His love and fetched us home, gladness and congratulation bidding r.s welcome. The fact is the world does not know God, or they would all flock to Him. Through their own blindness, or the fault of some rough preaching that has got abroad in the centuries, many men smMr<Senrhareanideathgt'hkid-» !t tyrant and oppressor, an autoerat, a Nana Sahib, an omnipotent Herod Antipas. It is a libel against the Almighty; it is a slander against the heavens; it is a defamation of the infinities. I counted in my Bible three hundred and four times the word “mercy,” single or compounded with

other words. I counted m my liible four hundred and seventythree times the word “love,” single or compounded with other words. Then I got tired of counting. Perhaps you might count more, being better at figures. But the Hebrew and the Greek and the English languages have been taxed till they can not pay any more tribute to Hie love and mercy and kindness and grace and charity and tenderness and friendship and benevolence and sympathy and bounteousness and fatherliness and motherliness and patience and pardon of cur God. There are names so magnetic that their pronunciation thrills all who hear it. Such is the name of the Italian soldier and liberator, Garibaldi. Marching with his troojis, he met a shepherd who was in great distress because he had lost a lamb. Garibaldi said to his troops: “Let us help this poor shepherd find his lamtk” And so with lanterns and torches they explored the mountains, but did not find the lamb, and after an unsuccessful search late at night they went to their encampment. The next morning Garibaldi was found asleep far on into the day, and they wakened him for some purpose and found that he had not given up the search when the soldiers did, but had kept on still further into the night and found it, and be pulled down the blankets from his couch and there lay the lamb, which Garibaldi ordered immediately taken to its owner. So the commander of all the hosts of Heaven turned aside from His glorious and victorious march through the centuries of Heaven, and said: I will go and recover that lost world, and that race of whom Adam was the progenitor, and let all who will accompany me.” And through the night they came, but I do not see that the angelic escort came any further than the clouds, but their most illustrious leader came all the way down, and by the time His errand is done our little world, our wandering and. lost world, our world fleecy with the light, will be found in the bosom of the Great Shepherd, and, then, all Heaven will take up the cantata and sing: “The lost sheep found.” Six different kinds of sounds were heard on that night which was interjected into the daylight of Christ’s assassination; the neighing of the war hoi-ses, for some of the soldiers were in the saddle, was one sound; the bang of the hammers was a second sound; the jeer of malignant:; was a third sound; the weeping of friends and coadjutors was a fourth sound; the plash of blood on th«f rocks was a fifth sound; the groan of the expiring Lord was a sixth sound. And they all commingled into one sadness. Over a place in Russia where wolves were pursuing a load of travelers, and to save them a servant sprang from the sled into the mouths of the wild beasts, and was devoured, and thereby the other lives were saved, and inscribed the words: “Greater love hath nc> mvn than this,, that a man lay down his life for his friend.” Many a surgeon in our own time has in tracheotomy with his own lips drawn from the windpipe of a diphtheritic patient that which cuired the patient and slow the surgeon, and all have honored the self-sacrifice. But al l other scenes of sacrifice pale before this most illustrious martyr of all time and all eternity. After that agonizing? spectacle in behalf of our fallen race nothing about the Mn-fcrgetting God is too stupendous for my faith, and I aeand will you not all and their

Bow to K<*p Cream la bid Conditio), la a Hot ClImatK The underground methoJof cooling a dairy has been tried withdn much success for some years, and more especially when it was first introduced about a dozen years ago. The plan was to dig a deep.ditch like a drain, and lay large tiles or a stone channel in it connected at the further end with the Open ait by a pipe to supply the draft lint the device was opposed to scientific principles and chiefly to that one on which ii is impossible to cause a cold current of air to rise in a warm atmosphere, or to make a warm current flow downwards into a cold, underground passage by any natural influence. To do this is to oppose that universal law by which lighter air rises and colder and denser air falls—the law of gravitation in fact. But it is possible to get a cool current of air in this way by some mechanical device which will either draw the air through the underground channel, or force it through it. Many devices have been tried for thns ventilating houses, as by burning something in a suitable pipe above the channel and thus producing a current, a part of which is diverted into the apartment to be cooled. But none of them has become practically useful. The most effective way of overcoming the diflicnlty described, so far as 1 have learned, is to use a two-storied cellar, so to speak, or what may he called a Sub-Cellar, the lower part of which is Ut least 13 or 15 feet below the surface, hnd is closed against the upper and Warmer air, by a perfectly elose floor having a tightly fitting trap door in it and a stairway down to the bottom. The cellar is lined with brick or stone and kept whitewashed with lime to increase the light which comes through a glass window in the floor. I have seen several sueh cellars in the south, one of which struck me as being excellent for the purpose of a dairy for which it was used. The eut shows how it was

Sl'B-CtUJlR TOR CREAM IN HOT CttMATE. constructed. It was so cool as to make me shiver, and glad to get out of It on a warm July day. The upper part was used for a churn* ing and store room, and had a broad Tool over it and thick stone walls. A stairway led down into it, and another into the lower one. Two tiers of shelves were made on three sides of this lower part, and these held the milk and butter. The owner told me the temperature did not vary more than two or three degrees the whole year. The only objection to it was that at times it was damp, but on my suggestion to use fresh burned lime .to absorb the water—which it does very greedily — this fault was

wholly removed, with the consequent mustiness that troubled hun in the hottest part of the summer. This cellar had been in use for several years, and had been fonnd quite satisfactory. No doubt it might meet the case in question, if the soil is quite free from water

to the required depth, this js obviously a sine quo non, unless tbe drainage could be secured at a moderate expense. Some coolness may be secured by using salt water or other solutions of crystalline and saline substances. A lowering of the temperature of six or eight degrees may be made by dissolving a pound of salt in ten gallons of water, and more by adding sulphate of soda to the salt. Ittft in practice all these modes of refrigeration have been found inconvenient or undesirable in other ways. 1 have experimented with them in dairy work and found them more costly and troublesome than ice. The common iee machines may he made useful if the dairy is large enough to stand the expense, as they have heen found indispensable in breweries on account of their cheapness. So far, however, all attempts to get up a cheap small machine for cooling dairies have failed.—Henry Stuart, in Rural New Yorker. _ TO DESTROY INSECTS.

The idea is a very simple one. A broad box like a soap

or other grocer’s box is partitioned near one end, leaving space enough to set a lamp, which must be a low-stand-ing or hand lamp. A small pane of window glass is set in the partition and the entire large compartment made water tight by the use of putty and paint. When perfectly dry it is nearly iiUed with water and a film of kerosene oil ponred on this. At dark the lamp is lighted in its little chamber and the light shines brightly through the window glass, water and oil, luring swarms of night iusects to their certain doom. The lamp out of doors must have a rainproof cover over it. Air, so it can burn cleanly, must not be cut off. Fig. 1 is the compartment for the lamp in the picture. Fig. 8 for the water and oil — K.

... RETAIN YOUR SENSES! You if Iron Were Confined in «ui Asylum1? Some Interesting Farts from a Prominent Scientific Man Who Has Had a Moat Valuable Experience. We sometimes see tu the papers a thrilling account or where a perfectly sane pelson has been*confined in an asylum. Think Of it, rentier 1 How long Would you retain four senses if yott Were confined With fl number Of lunatics, night and day, and y£t think of the physicians in charge of these patients who are compelled, day by day and year by year, to live among them. What wonderful opportunities they have for studying characteristics and vagaries; what a wonderful chance for learning the miseries of lifo and how best to overcome them. Wears brought to these reflections by a conversation lately had with Dr. J. C. Spray, of 163 State Street, Chicago. For nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in charge of the Jefferson, now Dunning, Institute, at Dunning, til. This tremendous institution contained about twelve hundred patients in the Insane Department, and fifteen hundred in the infirmary. Among this large number of persons there were a vast humbet* of physical ailments. Dr. Spray, Speaking about it, soldi “I traced the great cause for most of the taental and indeed physical disorders Very carefully, and while some authorities make hu estimate that seventy-five per cent,, of the people in the United Slates are afflicted With some form of kidney disease, I do not think that the rate is so high, taking all hges into consideration. Before middle life it is less than sevouty-five per cent, but after middle life it is, 1 should think, fully (Chicago Journal.)

that percentage.” “This is something terrible, Doctor. Few people can certainly be aware that so large a percentage exists!” The Doctor thought a moment and then said: “It is a fact not generally recognised that where a person has diseased kidneys and tho organs fail to perform their functions of removing the waste and the impurities from tho system. It soon produces melancholia. As a result our asylums are filled to overflowing, while if the people would strike at tho root of the matter and see that their kidneys were in good order, there would be fewer patients in the asylums. I have noticed that a large portion of all paresis cases had kidney difficulties.” “What have you found, Doctor, to bo the standard and most reliable remedy iu such cases?” Dr Spray spoke with great confidence. He said: “Haviug so many oases to treat, I tried various remedies, and after a long and exhaustive trial, finally decided that Warner’s Safe Cure was the best, most effective and most reliable remedy. 1 found it specially reliable in cases of incipient Bright's disease. It is certain to stop it, and ©veil in the advanced conditions it allays the disease, and to my surprise at first, cured many cases. Before structural changes set in, it Is certain to cure, if properly administered." “Has your experience While at the asylum, bootor, been confirmed IU J-oUr general practice since leaving it?’* “Yes. I havo occasion to Use the Safe Cure almost daily. Whenever I find traces of albumen in the urine of a patient, I prescribe the Safe Cure, and In nearly everv

Instance where I notice indications of nervoustroubles, I analyze t lie urine, and almost invariably Had-that it is caused by some affection of the kidneys. I now hnve a patient to Whom I am giving the Safe Cure, and find thafTt is having the desired effect. Some time ago a gentleman came to me, who had been examined for life insurance, and traces of albumen were found. 1 ad vised the use of the Safe Cure, and lie passed the examination without difficulty after having used it” “1 understand, then, Doctor, that yon attribute a large percentage of the ills of life to some disease of the kidneys, and that you have found the remedy of which yon speak the most effective in suoh cases.” “Yes. I have no hesitation in saying that TV aimer's Safe Cure has my unqualified endorsement. I use it constantly, and would not do so unless I thought it possessed curative qualities. ” The high standing, wide experience and great success of Dr. Spray make his words exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity cannot bo questioned, and their truthfulness is absolute. Impressed with this fact, and realizing the importance of the same, I liavo transcribed his words in full and give them herewith. —Mr. Nahum Barnett, an architect of Melbourne, has under consideration a movement to arrange for a visit of a, party of Australian artisans to the Chicago exposition.

w .... X Copyrioct <e*> Ift flying in the face of Nature to take the ordinary pill. Just consider1 hoW it acts. There’s too much bulk and bustle, hnd not enough real good. And think how it leaves you, when it’s all over! Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets act naturally. They help Nature to do her own work. They cleanse and renovate* mildly but thoroughly, the whole system. Hegnlate it, too. The help that they give, lasts. They’re purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, the smallest, easiest, and best to take. Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and all derangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are promptly relieved and permanently cured. One tiny, sugar-coated Pellet for a gentle laxative—three for a cathartic. They’re the cheapest pHl yon can buy, for they’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You pay only for tho good you get. This is true only of Dr. Pierce’s medicines. “German Syrup”

JudgrJ- B. Ulhii, ofthe Stipctiot Court, Walker county, Georgia, thinks enough of German Syfop tc Send ns voluntarily a strong letter endorsing it. When men of rank and education thus use and recommend an article, what they say is worth the attention of the public. It is above suspicion. “I have used your German Syrup,” he says, “foi my Coughs and Colds on the Throat and hungs. I can recommend it for them as a first-class medicine.'’— Take no substitute. ©

THE LAXATIVE GBMBROP. Those of our readers who are trou bled with dyspepsia, long continued constipation or any difficulty with their digestive organs ought to try the new LAXATIVE GUMDROPS. They are better than any sugar coated pills because they do not have to be swallowed whole and there is no pain or griping afterwards. They are mild, pleasant in their effects, and easy to take because they do not differ in appearance or in flavor from the ordinary gumdrop. In fact no one can tell that they are taking medicine from the taste. Then there is no danger connected with them. They can be given to children"without any fear. From two to three constitute a dose but more can be taken without ill results. They act quietly and mildly. The effect is as marked the second day as it is the first, and on this account they differ from the ordinary cathartic. They come in boxes at 10 and 25 cents. Get them of any dealer.
