TO PARENTS LOUISVILLE, Oct.
ls6S.-Messrs. James Ruddie & C0.-Gentle-
men: We have for some time been using
your DIR. SEABROOK'S INFANT SOOTH-
ING SYRUP, and have givenit fair trial.
For curing collie, removing pain, quieting
restlessness, and relieving sick stomach, we
have found it more efficacious than all
other remedies we have ever used. 1t is
very pleasant to the taste, while most rem
edies for collie, &C., are very nauseous.-
Another great merit that will commend
itself to all parents is the entire absence OF
the supplying effects on the child, so COM
mon in the use of Devices Mixture and
otherpreparationsw we have used for similar
diseases We most cordially recommend
1t to all parents.

Extravagance.


We have said that one of the sin's
ofthe people, if not the greatest, is
that of sExTRAyAaANoE. Ii is the
primal cause of all manner of dissi-
patton and licentiousness. You
never find an economical man being
led into. that ruin the body;
inoculating it with diseases that
cling TO you throughout life, and un-
dermining the mind by, it may be 4
gradual. but no les, sure process.
Ask your family physician the re-
suit of dissipation upon the system,
not alone for the time being, but
during your whole life, and sec if he
does not bear us out. (We can i'm
aeine of no stronger documents
against this great sin of our people
than series Of articles by an edu-
Gated physician, giving in detail the
effect of debauchery and dissipation
upon mans system, through all the
years of his life, including insanity
and idiocy. A plain statement of
this kind, with practical illustrations,
could not but set young men to
thinking and do a great deal OF
geod.l But to return. Extrava-
gance, of any and all kinds, is the
greatest of all sins because it leads
to everything that tends to demor-
alize our young men and weaken
our social fabric. 1t leads our young
girls into falsehood, frivolty, fashion
and complete famine of mental and
moral ability and rectitude. 1t
leads our young men into excesses
of every description, and into the
whirlpool of ruin; physical ruin;
mind weakened and dethroned, and
the soul blackened with corruption.
aWhose business is it if | am eX-
travagant, says one and all; ''is it
not my money l spend? Do | not
come by ii honestly, and it is no
body's business how | spend it. "
How blind ye are. You have to
render strict account of every cent
of it. 1t IS not your money. 1t be-
longs to the great BANKER OF THE
UNIVERSE, who has only loaned it to
you. 1t belongs to the LORD and He
gives it into your hands in hopes
that you will use, AT LEAST TIE IN
TEREST OF IT, to assist in elevating
mankind on to a higher plane OF
christion civilization. You are ex-
pected to be economical, 1--WE don't
mean by that stingy or penurious)
for your own good-for your child
rens good and for the good of the
great brotherhood of man. The SOON
or we realize the great offensc and
sinfulness of our ExTRAvAGANcE as
individuals and as a nation of ac-
countable beings, the better for US
al. Young mani think of these
things. Ask yourself the question,
ewhat good am | laying up for my
self, physically, mentally and NOR
ally, by this prodigality and extrav-
agance? Is it benefiting me in either
respect one iota? Am | as strong,
as virtuous and healthy in mind or
body as was few years back? Is
my moral nature more sensitive to
those finer impressions to truthful
ness, uprightness and fidelity; have
| the same regard for the Sabbath
and its holy associations" Give
yourself a thorough self examina-
ton and then say: " | am a FOOL to
pursue q course which | know is in
juring me physically, mentally and
morally" Yes, you are fool, for
the brute creation will not be guilty
of that. Young men! think Of it, for
the great sin of the people is Ex-
TRAvAGANcE-hoot at it as you may.
