A Human Life Saved.

DOwaglac, Mich, March IL 1906.
j. A. RHODES, EsQ.-Dear Sir: AS / took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay, take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place, and their testimony is a fair speci-
men of all have received:
w. S. Conklin told mel had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continu-
ally run down while using it until my lungs
and liver were congested to that degree that
blood discharged from my mouth and bowels,
SO that all thought it impossible for me to live
through another chill The doctors too did all
they could for me, but thought l must die
Nothing did me any good until l got Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved
me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
a permanent cure in short time.
ii. M. Conklin says: 81 had been taking
medicine of as good doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity of quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, got bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which effec-
ted permanent cure by using two-thirds of a
BOTTLE
S. M. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as II.
Ms. Isold the medicine to both the same
Gay, ana the cure was as speedy lTOm the same
small quantity, and might so specify.
Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as
it is, it is of no better tenor than the vast num-
Der of like certificates have already published
and the still greater amount that is still pour
ing in to me. One thing more. Last year
had occasion to caution the public in these
words 81 notice one firm who have taken
one of my general circulars, substituted the
name of their nostrum for my medicine, and
then with brazen impudence send their pamph-
let with the exclamation, Let the proprietor
of any medicine say as much if he dares, &C."
Now take pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same DIR. Christie's Aguc
Balsam that is mentioned in the above certii-
cate There are several other industrious peo-
pie who are applying to their poisonous trash
all that publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the certif-
Gates of cures, and the certificate of the celc-
brated chemist, DIR. James r. Chiffon of New
York, in favor of its perfectly harmless charac-
ter, which is attached to every bottle. These
will always serve to distinguish my medicines
from limitations. JAMES A. RHODES,

THE GOOD WIFE.

The companionship Of a good wife
is guardian angel to keep and pre-
serve man from the sins and tempta-
lions which surround him. That be-
ing who moves about to bless-the
companion of our bosoms-is the one
to whom we can make known Que joys
and sorrows. How great is the in
fluence of goodness T! Woman, can
you not exercise such an influence
over your erring husband F? If he
loves the company Of the idle, and
partakes of the inebriating glass, can
not you draw him by love and kind
ness away from sure destruction !! Let
the atmosphere around you be that OF
goodness and truth, and you will sure
~ be ministering angel to save the
hayward ere he goeth down to destruc'
ton.

HISTORY.

Man is in history-its most wonder
full, and often it's most perplexing phe-
nomenon. Angels are in history
opening it's mysterious seals, sounding
it's awful trumpets, and pouring forth
it's dreadful Walls. Satan is in history
ever active to suggest what is evil,
arrest what is good, or overthrow
what is holy, pure, permanent, divine.
Yes, God is in all history, whether he
be seen or not in its minutest wind
ing, in its gentlest ripple, and in its
roaring cataracts, in it's longest chap
ter and in it's shortest paragraph, at
your festivals and funerals, beside the
infants cradle and above the monarch's
throne.

Poetry and Love.
BY Q. II. cRIswELL.

Sweet Poetry! thou blessed thing!.
Thou holy, soul-inspiring power!
Thou teachest summer birds to sing
. In leafy tree and fragrant bower:
Thou teachest man to feel and know
That, else he'd never know nor feel;
Thou teachest woman's heart to glow
With thoughts too precious to reveal.
Sweet Poetry! we owe thee more:
Thou givest us the power to tell,
In hymns of praise, how we adore
The blessed ONE in whom we dwell.
There is silent rapturous spell
That sleeps within the secret heart:
Poet, thou knowest its power full well;
Minstrel it WEEDS thee to thine art.
There is sweet and trembling thrill,
A something which we can't express,
That courses through the heart until
~ IT'S trimming o er with happiness.
Who hath not felt Loves burning power!
Loves magic thrill who doth not know!
-. All me! life's clouds must darkly lower
When in youths heart Love doth M
glow.

BY 8. N. MONTGOMERY.

Oh who would die, when the world is bright
With beauty and loneliness;
When friends are left unchanged and true,
Our young life still to bless;
When the heart beats high with hope and love,
And the cup of joy runs DER:
Oh, who would leave this beauteous earth,
To return, ay, nevermore!
Let me livei could not bear to rest
In the cold and silent tomb, lreigns,
Where the earth worm creeps, and darkness
Nor sunshine pierce the gloom;
Where the winter rain will fiercely fall
And hoarse winds, rushing by,
My dirge will chant in wild, sad lays,
Through the long grass, dark and high.
