R.. RoDGERs COMPOUND SYRUP OF
IIVERWORT AND TAR.

A. safe and certain cure for Con-
sumption Of the Lungs, Splitting OF
Blood, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Pain
in the side, Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, and all Pulmonary Affections.
In the whole catalogue of remedies for Pulmo-
nary Affections, there is not one so universally
known, and whose virtues have been SO thorough
" tested as Tar. Every one knows that Tar wa
ter and Tar fumigations are among the most COM
mon remedies for colds, coughs and affections of
the lungs, which SO very often end in consump-
ton.
DR.. Buchan, of England, has employed it sue
c~essfully for many years. DR.. Crichton, an emil
nent physician OF Petersburg, highly recommends
a treatment in which tar IS principally employed.
This medical preparation is the result Of years
of patient and labored experiment in an extensive
medical practice.
Tar was a principal ingredient and mainly de-
pended upon in the remedies used by the celebra-
ted Doct. Cooper, who treated a great number of
c%onsumptive cases with entire success during a
long and extensive practice.
II il admitted that as a cure for consumption,
Tar is without an equal in the list OF known SUBJ
stances, we will briefly call attention to the fact.
The utmost skill and care have been exercised
in preparing this medicine. to make il as concen-
trated as possible, retaining only the medical prop
critics of the several ingredients, and the proper
tions have been adjusted with strict reference to
their chemical properties.
For additional evidence of the great efficacy of
this medicine, see the certificates. Multiiudes of
similar ones might be added.
From,the wife Of Rev. G.. W.. Maley, City Mis-
sionary and Pastor in charge of Maley Chapel.
have been afflicted with my lungs for several
years; have tried various prescriptions with but
little success. Last winter l was advised by a fe-
male acquaintance to try DR.. Rogers Compound
Syrup Of I.iverwort aud Tar. used several bot
ties and obtained great relief, and would recon-
mend it to such as are suffering with diseased
lungs, as an excellent medicine.
SARAH MALEY.
Cincinnati, Aug. IL, 1916.
A remarkable cure of Mrs. Hiram Plummer, OF
consumption, who resides ON Main, between
Eight and Ninth streets, Cincinnati.
This is to certify that | used DR.. Andrew Ro-
gers Compound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar in
nv family, and have found 1t to be a most excel
lent remedy for consumption. My wife having
been afflicted with that disease, and under the
care of two of our best physicians for upwards oil
twu years, at the end OF which time one OF them
declined further attendance, declaring he could
be {. no further service. She then commenced
using the above Syrup, and continued until she
had consumed two bottles, which proved to be
sufficient to restore her to her usual health. l be-
lieve it to be a public benefit, and furnish this GER
tifcate to assist in making its virtues known.

IL Table PILLS have achieved triumph
upon triumph, in the cure of obstinate cases Of dis
ease, even after they had been entirely given up,
and after all other remedies had failed, yet their
power of prevention may be Justly esteemed their
GROWING GLORY!
"%Storms.'' it is said, 'purify the air. f" but storms
do mischief also, and are SO far an evil. Were II
within human power to maintain the -,4y

casion for storms, for the air would always be pure.
SO of the human body. If kept free from NOR

But if those humors are allo wed to accumulste,s
crisis, or, in other words, a storm, will arise,
which is always more or less dangerous.
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
are equally we'll calculated to preuest the storm,
or to allay it when it comes. But f!fE4

taken every other night on an empty stomach, fef

tIVu Ill OulOs
We address you with the conviction
that the office of Teacher, is second, in
Importance, to none in community
Its duties and its influences may be i'm.
perfectly appreciated, its highest excel
ience may not often be witnessed, still
its nature and its relations remain the
same. The most sacrad interests OF
individuals are confded to those who
gill il; the best elements of society are
entrusted to their care. Does any pat
riot or phiIanthropist desire to know to
what mora independence the next gen.
Grafton of men may arise, or what in
'teIigence shall guide the highest inter-
est Of the state, when he shall hive pas
tsed from the scene Of duty and action?
Does any father desire to know what
influences may surround his children
when he shall be sleeping in the dust?
Let such study the characterand prin-
ciples Of the present Teachers of the
land. These are the true representa-
tive men Of the next generation.
The qualities of mind and heart, now
so little regarded in them, are TO be
transfused into those under their care.
and soon are to be reproduced in the
men and women who may succeed
them. Their characters are TO be
wrought into the children of the state.
Their influences are to penetrate the
inmost being of every child, their teach
ings to determine. in a great measure,
his destiny.
As teachers, therefore, we feel that
u profession is worthy of our highest
regards; that it is entitled to our best
sympathies and energies. We would
not undervaIue other professions and
pursuits. We honor all who labor in
any useful calling, and do their duty
well. Bat, from all others, we turn to
the noble profession of teaching with a
pure satisfaction and a deep and abb.
ding reverence. Here, inspiriting an
ticipa,ions stimulate US to exertion.-
Here the brightest hopes are glowing
in our bosom. Here, the fair pages of
science and philosophy open, most in
vitingly before US. At variance with
no sect, or cast, Or creed, we may here,
cherish and inculcate the sublimest
truths Of morality and religion.
Aloof from the theatre Of partizan
warfare. we may nourish those virtues
and principles,by which honored names
have made our country illustrious.
We look, then, with earnest solicit
tude upon the present condition Of our
profession and upon all means tending
10 its elevation. There are questions
which teachers must consider and de-
cide..o To be eminently useful, they
must understand their true positions;
tbeymustbe conscious Of the far-reach-
ing influence of their labors,and be able
to convince others that they are iden-
titled with the substantial interests Of
man kind. ssHil .a
Further, they must, by their disinter-
estedness, faithfulness, and devotion,
take the question out Of The hands Of all
men, what rank their profession shall
hold in society. How shall these OBJ
iects bsaccomplished? Atthe present
time we look 10 teachers associations
for important aid. These may do much
for selfimprovemen,,and for profession
nj success. New resolutions are FORM
ed, new energies are awakened, and
new confidence felt in the importance
