RISING IN THE WoRLD.-You should
us are, from the very nature and necessities
of the world, born to gain our livelihood
by the sweat of the brow. What reason
have we then to presume that our children
are not to do the same? If they be, as now
and then one would be-, endowed with ex-
traordinary powers Of mind, those powers
may have an opportunity of developing
themselves; and if they never have the OPP
portunity, the harm is not very great to US
or 10 them. Nor does it hence follow that
the descendants are alaoays to be laborers.
The path upwards is steep and long to be
sure Industry, care, skill, excellence, in
the present, lay the foundation of rise, un-
der more favorable circumstances, for the
children. The children of these take an
other rise; and by and by the descendants
of the present laborer become gentlemen
This is the natural progress. 1t is by at
tempting to reach the top at single leap
that SO much misery is produced in the
world and the propensity to make such
attempt has been cherished and encouraged
by the strange projects that we have wit
messed of late years for making the laborers
virtuous and happy by giving them what is
called education. The education which
speak Of consists of bringing children up TO
labour with steadiness, with care, and with
skill; to show them how to do as many
useful things as possible, to teach them to
do them in the best manner; to set them all
example in industry, sobriety, cleanliness,
and neatness; to make all these habitual to
them, SO that they never shall be liable TO
fall into the contrary; to let them always
see a good living proceeding from labor,
and thus to remove from them the tempta-
ton TO get at the goods of others by violent
or fraudulent means, and to keep far from
their minds all the inducements to hypo-
crisy and deceit.-William Goblet.

CONFESSION,

Y THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that ]
Il . have been afflicted with a SECRET DISEASE ever
since 1928; had thirteen eminent physicians whose
names are recorded at the French Medical House;
some Of them abated the disease, bat it always
turned worse than before, until it carried away both
sides of my throat and pierced the top of the palate
also lost several bones ofmy nose and was almost
blind Of an eye, and my face was covered with an
immense quantity of scabs, between which the skin
was as red scarlet, and | was indeed in most de-
plorabe condition, much so that the learned pro-
fessor S. pronounced me incurabe., 1t was obvious

cate fiom the jaws Of death-for they all follow

THE GREAT DIGESTOR AND WIND
DESTROY

TINE most anti-hatulent Medicine ever known
4 in the world which cures and prevents the
formation of Dyspepsia, Consumption, Disease of
the Heart, Rheumatic pains, Cpstiveness, Liver
Complaint, Pains in the Side or in the Small OF
the Back, PaIpitation of the Heart Headache,
Sore Throat, Shortness Of Breath, Gout, Cold,
Cholic, and is a perfect emmenagogue. This Me-
dicine has been invented more than a score ofyears
ago by the French Doctor Of the FREScn MEDICAL
HOUSE, l6 south Frederick street, Baltimore when
he was living in Paris practising physician
and lecturer. He then made chemical extraction
of the Juice of blossom of certain flowers, which
acts wonderfully on the nervous system and re-
establishes lis own circulation. The DIR. has used
it ever since in the above named diseases, with
great success. Many persons think that the French
Doctor confines his practice solely to Secret Dis
eases, but such is not the case; any disease what
ever will be treated and cured on written guaranty
and forfeiture, ifdesred, with strict honesty-even
those given up by Regular Doctors. Persons at
a distance may consult the French Doctor by let
ter, and have the medicine sent to them. Advice

NO MERCURY OR COPAIyA.

T1HERE are two ways to treat Secret Disease,
L the first, so much boosted Of is merely the
temporary disappearance of the symptoms, by
means of mercury or copaiva, and requires but a
day or two but it is very injurious indeed; the Sc
cond way is to eradicate it out of the system, slow
ly, safely and surely, without Mercury or Copaiva.
AS the wise say
Sound in a day or two,
IT'S too good to be true.
Thirty odd years of experience in the scientific
practice of curing Secret Diseases in Paris and A
merica, have enabled the French Doctor of the
FRENcu MEDICAL HOUSE, l6 south Frederick st.
near Second street, to eradicate the most vrulent
disease no matter from what cause it may have
originated, in very short but reasonable time,
without Mercury or Copaiva. Victims of an i'm
proper treatment, and wearied with disappointment,
may confidently apply. Persons who nave injur-
ed their Health by certain practice called solitary
vice, which brings impotency, will be restored to
prime vigor. This is the only place in BALTE
MORE where sure cure can be had on written
guaranty and forfeiture, with strict honesty, and
terms moderate. The most respectable city refer
ence will be given. Advice gratis. Jan ly.
