True friendship is ofsuch great import.
ance and such seldom occurrence, that
that man may count himself rich, who
possesses true friend. Friendship Is
spontaneous in the heart--it is unbiased
by selfshness, unbought by wealth and
unmoved by fear it seeks no vain show +;
it uses no flattery, stoops to no artifce
and seeks no reward all its sacrifices ars
pure all its honors are merited I; all its
Offices are kind towards its object, it is
ever respectful in conduct, upright in feel
ing and pure at heart never deceitful !;
but always open, frank and afectionate
it courts no favor by servi!ity and merits
no frowns by contnmely: whatever it does
is dictated by benevolence it is always
ready to approve what is good and cen
sure what is evil it overlooks no fault
for fear of offending and stoops TO no fat
terry for the sake Of pleasing !; in a word
it is pure, and were it universal and re-
ciprocal among men, il would be the full
6llment of the righteous law Of heaven,
which commands man to love his neigh
Dor as himself" This is a adelineation oil
friendship. He who in his conduct to-
wards another, is governed by these out
lines of friendship, is a true friend a
friend, constant and true in all situations
his affection brilliant and transparent, is
not Frightened by the sun Of prosperity
nor obscurcd by the clouds of adversely i
but always glowing in noon-day splendor
It emits its rays to every recess Of the
heart, warns and invigorates every facul
ty, expands benevolence and gives force
to truth.
Friendship is too pure, too holy, too
much aside from tho narrow selfshness
of mans nature, to be common virtue.
1t will not mingle with passions, which too
generally rule the actions Of men It is
generally stiaed by jealousy, in rivalship
iok honors, or competition for cmolument,
it seeks a congenial element and
requires an equal sacrifice-heart for
heart is its rcquisition. Though it springs
up spontaneous in the heart, it ripcns no,
in moment but it must be fostered and
ma,ured by rcciprocation Of kindness it
may be withcred by coldness and blasted
by contumcly but when ripened and ma
iurcd in the heart it is as lasting as life ::
no circumstances can alter it-no earthly
power can eradicate it. Friends may be
separated--earth s. sen may divide them
fortune may frown upon them they
may wander in inhospitable climes; adver
slty may hug them in her cold embrace
till life becomes burthcn, till surround
| ing objects loose their wonted charms, till
the heart is apparently cslluous ; but give
once the namo OF an absent friend, breathe
once the t;dings Of constant love, and you
awake new feeling, you strike new
chord the heart that before pined and
sickeud under misfortune assumes new
energy, is again awakened to feeling,
aud again glows with vigorous and resPon

have observed great benefit derived from IFS use, and
particularly in the case Of L. C. TregomaIne, who was
for many years afflicted with very inveterate ulcers
that were deemed incurablc by all OF the eminent sur

its effects restored her good health in two mo"ths
In October, 1928 she was discharged from the iiosp
