THE MYSTERY SOLVED

The times are pregnant with startling
events old isnns, theoEes, and fallacies are
fast dfsappearfng beneath the gigantic
wheels of progress and human develop
ment. Change is written with the iron
finger of time, upon all matter, seen and
unseen, material and spiritual. The
mighty, omnipotent power that fashioned
the stUpendOus orbS that reYOlVe in the
immensely of space, created all things in
wisdom and purity. The maje stic ocean,
the deep blue sea, the beautiful earth, and
all things therein contained were planned
ana created by virtue of that universal
law of harmony, whose power holds sway
over all. Intelligence is manifested in ali
created things, both great and snaII-the
tiny insect, the beautiful butterfly, and
God-lilze man, are eacn endowed accord
ing to their kind, with that instinct or in
telligelce ordained by Him who dOeth
all things we'll"
Wisdom, justice, and love are the three
great standard-bearers whose sumptuous
hands mete out TO each individuality the
measure of Divine, universal law, design
ed by that mighty Mind who fashioned
alike noble man in his own image and all
lesser created things. The beauties and
wonders OF nature never cease to the pro-
gresSTVe human mind. Eternal progress
is written with the une ring finger OF
Deity upon all. The theme of human life
is laden with sweet incense to all VINO,
like angels of mercy and goodness, are
ever tusy, ever ready toadevlseA means for
the alienation of human Woe and the pro-
longation of life. The uncSasfng march OF
indivAduaI'and national progress Is alone
due Il, the bold and fearless thinkers and
actors upon Inc stage Of msa0dane HE.
The stern exigencies that confront and i'm
peril The gigantic minds Of all countries
cannot awe or sWerve them IN the path of
duty andpoWer. Disease app death now
hold carnival throughout the. land; suffer-
ing humanity calls loudly for the g Balm
| of CSflead," whose subtle, mystic power
| can heat and-save from WBeck and ruin
A saving aud skillfuf hand may be found
ready TO administer to1be suffering at all
times in Prof HAMILTON at his old med
icaI emporium, where thousands, from all
countries and chimes, have received the
healing balm for every i'll.
