Goodbye

Never again shall sit in the cleaning,
flushing and stillng the beat OF my neart,
For the quick tread that announces tiny coming,
Never again the swift bushes Will start.
When mid the darkness that surges around me,
Vaiuly look for the promise OF light,
How shall long the love that once crowned me,
Ere on my soul fell the blackness OF night.
Turn where WILL there are pleasure and gladness,
Musi..'s soft flow, and joys almost divine
Radiant ewes that seem mocking my sadness
Over the flow OF their amber-hued Wine
Beautiful forms whrled by in the dancas
Faces that flash on me out CT a dreami
Shine, ye bright jewels, and yet brighter glarces
Melt my cold heart with your glittering beamsi
Colby roam mid the glow and the glitter
Careless of splendors that weary me so,
Feelng, alas! that my heart has grown bitter
Under its burden OF sorrow ana woe
Stn must stlhe my means and my sighing
Deck my wan face in the ghost Of SMILE
S4ater ana sing while my hopes are all lying
Dead IN the depths of my bosom the while.
Little they think when my laugh rings the lightest,
vi the torn heart that is beating below;
Or, when the rose on my cheek burns the brightest
Little they dream tits despair feeds the glow.
Never again shall wander beside thee
IhrnpT, the loved scenes where bright memoro
dwell;
Blessinss ascend thee, whatever betide thee,
lis my bearps prayer as murmul-iareweu.

Notice to the Public!

In the year 1916, the writer embarked In the Drug
Business in the city OF Philadelphia and while thus
engaged, made several experiments in regard to the
most desirable mode Of preparing Fluid Extracts
My efforts being successl-thea articles being approv-
ed aud used by the Medical Faculty-I was DESTROYS
OF placing them before the public, but hesitated Tor
some time before concluding to resort to newspaper
advertis ng, knowing the prejudees that existed In
the minds Of many against using advertised Medi-
cines or Nostus, but through the advice Of friends
and those who had used them this objection was
overcome.
After Is years exertions, commencing in small
way the popularity OF my articles has extended to all
parts of the United States, and widely throughout
foreign counries-and this in the face of much oppo-
sition. Every means has been resorted to by I'M
pricipled dealers since their merit and have
been known-such as advertising larger bottles at less
price, Censurmg all other preparations, and even
copying my adyertisemcnts-butI am happy to state
of the many who have resorted to this,
have been successful. n
MY OBJECT
In this notice is to make facts known TO tie public
and respectable dealers, believing after SO many
years exertions. that the Druggists win discounte
nance such proceedings, and that the reputation Of
my articles may not be damaged by use of inferior or
spurious ones.
Knowing that many may read this article who are
unaequanted with me, append few remarks from
those ofmy native city, and whose names are known
in all parts of the world:
"Being personally acquainted with Mr.. II. 7. Helm
bold, it affords me pleasure in stating have been
most vorably impressed with his energy and integ-
rity, and gratifed at his success" ....

CAUTION TO TIE PUBLIC.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
their efficacy established by well tested experience in
the hands of q regularly educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fits him for all the duties he must
fulfill; yet the country is flooded with poor nostrums
and curealls purportng to be the best in the world
are not only useless, but always injurious The un.
fortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting his
physician, as it is lamentable yet incontrsvert-
able fact, that many syphilitic patients are made
miserable with ruined constitutions by maltreatment
tor it is point generally conceded by the test syph-
Ographers, that the study and management of these
who would be competent and successful in their IL, at

himself acquainted with their pathology, commonl,
