After every j meal he suffered terribly from severe pains, palpitation and shortness of breath, ami had awful headaches. He was terribly nervous, too. He ia working now every day and is in as good health as lie ever was.” Under nourishment is the cause of most cases of under weight.

FIFTY YEARS AGO A young man who practiced medicine in Pennsylvania became famous and Mas called in Consultation in many towns and cities because of his success in the treatment of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who finally made up his mind to place some of his medicines before the public, and moving to Buffalo, N. Y.. put up what be called his "Favorite Prescription,” and placed it with the druggists in every state.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Repentance: What It Is and What It 1 Joes I. The Degeneracy of the Times (w, 1.2). The Jews had sunk to a very low level <>f civil, moral and religious life. Luke carefully enumerates the civil and religious rulers in order to show the profligacy of the times, and therefore the eed of a messenger to call the people buck to God and virtue. Ilerod, the son of the Great, was a murderer. Annas mid Caiapiius were < ornipt ecclesiastical rulers. 11. Tl.e Fature of John's Ministry (vv. 3-ID. In the wilderness he underwent a discipline which fitted him for Ids task, out of the wilderness lie flashed forth preaching the baptism of repentence lor tile remission of sins (v. 3). This ministry is declared to be a fultiinieiit of Isaiah's prophecy. Ihe message was d serllHSl its one calling upon the nation to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. Tills preparation was presented under the figure of a monarch of the Fast about to make a Journey A servant whs sent before to prepare tiie highway. Valleys needed to is- tilled, mountains and hills needed to be lowered, < rooKeil places needed so be made straight and rough place- neeiied to be made smooth, TtMhiy before the nations will receive t'hrist the valleys ms-d to he iilicti with righteous deeds. Hie exceeding high mountains of sin and iniquiti m-ed to be brought low, the crooked deiili.igs of t 'ip business world must be struiglitened out, and the rottgh ways of nations and individuals must lie tiled out. Men must rejwnt of their sins before they ran receive Christ. Despite the great wickedness of tiie nation. John de elareii that ill flesh sh ill .mv the salvation of God This is the note of Impe needed today. 'llie only hope for tiie world is fiods salvation through Jesu« Christ. Let men accept Christ and all war and contention will end. Men will then love em h other insteml of hate each other. 111. The Content o* John's Message (vv. 7 IS). 1.1 ieminchition of Sin (vv. 7. S). He called them "a generation of vi pers.” This >hows that he charged them witli deceltfulness and wickedness. Knowing the subtle hypocrisy of Ihes.' Jews, lie demanded evidenci* of (heir sincerity life genuineness of their repentance was to be demonstrated by their works. 2. Announcement of Judgment (v. 9). Ho declared that the axe was laid at the root of file tree and that the tree not bringing forth fruit was to be hew n down and cast Into the tire. John made it very plain that for their -■ins they should be called into judgment. Paul's preaching of a Judg tuent to come made Felix tremble (Aits 24:25). 3. Instructions to the Inquirers (vv. 10-14). (1) The people (vv. 10, 11). Each man was to turn from his liesetting siii arid show love amt kindness to his fellow men. Clothing am) f od were to lie given those who had need. They were to turn from a life of selfishness am) greed and do unto others a- they would be done by. (2) Publicans (vv. 12. 13). These taxgatherers who were guilty of greed and oppression were nut asked to give up their occupation, but to exact only that which was appointed by law. (3) The soldicfs (v. 14). These were likely ihe policemen of that day—-at least men on military duty He told them to extort money from no man. to accuse none falsely, and to be content with their wages. To ail these classes he made it clear that they should henceforth perform their duty from a motive of love instead of selfishness and greed. I. Testimony to Jesus (vv. 15-18). The people were musing in their hearts as to whether John was indeed the Messiah. When John perceived this he with tine humility declared that ids mission was so lowly in comparison with t'hrist s that be would be unworthy so perform the menial act of a slave in loosing the latchet of His shoes. John baptized with water, but Christ, lie declared, would baptize with tiie Holy Ghost ami with fire. IV. John’s Imprisonment (vv. 19. 20). Because of his reproof of Herod for his wicked lewdness and other sins John went to the dungeon.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions.

An examining physician for one of the ; prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astoniahing statement that one reason why I •o many applicants for insurance are re- t jected is because kidney trouble is so j common to the American people, and the ' large majority of those whose applications •re declined do not-even suspect that they ■ have the disease.

Many women struggle along for years suffering from some form of female trouble that make their lives miserable and their homes far from happy. Lydia E.

Just give your thought to the following letters and remember that the women who wrote these letters knew how they felt before taking the Vegetable Compound and again afterwards, it helped them—let it help you. Had Nervous Spells Horatio, Ark. —“I had nervous ■pells and awful bad feelings. My right side and my back hurt me all the time And I had been going down in health for six or seven years. For three years I had not been able to do my work without help. I weighed only 95 pounds when my husband's mother persuaded me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Now I heartily recommend it to all • suffering women, as I have gained weight and health. I can do all my work, anything I want to do." —Mrs. Jim Rearick, Horatio, Arkansas.

People in Boontow were used to Uncle Silas’ way of talking ami enjoyed It; but at last there came, as a member of the summer colony, a man who had a desire to set everything and everybody straight, according to his j Ideas. “What's the sense of your referring j to that animal of yours as a ‘colt’?" demanded this person one day. “How old is be?" “Well, he Is going on eleven years," i said Uncle Silas, mildly. “Eleven years!” sneeped the man. , “Well, we should call that pretty an- , cient for a colt —in New York.” “I think likely you would.” said Uni cle Silas, without rancor, but with considerable firmness in his tone; “hut perhaps '(would be well to consider, sir. that this colt o’ mine resides in Boontown, where eleven years Is pretty young for a horse." —Philadelphia Ledger, Sweeping Is Right. “The long skirt seems to be coming into favor again.” Yes, and soon it will be sweeping the entire country.” The recipe for perpetual ignorance is to be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.

My cousin had always been a most timid girl, finding it dltticut to say । i.iuch even before home folks, let alone strangers. She was a member of a church society. One of the rules was that each j member must take some part In the meetings. She had tried and tried, but could never get her courage up at the last minute. Finally, the leader, to help her oat, gave her some Scripture verses to read. They read as follows: “And bring h.ther the fatted calf and kill it."
