some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS You
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
ician as excellent combination; and with his ad-
vice, after an examination of the article and con
suting again with the druggist, concluded to try

Penalties are often 90 long delayed

but at some time they are certain to fol-
low. When. the .whirlwind sweeps
through the forest, at it's first breath
that giant tree, with all its boughs; falls
crashing to the ground. But it had
been preparing to fall twenty years.
Twenty years before it had received q
cash. Twenty years before the water
began to settle In at some notch, and
from thence decay began to reach in with
silent fingers toward tho heart
of tho tree. Every year tho work
of death progressed, till at length it
stood, all rottenness, and the frat gale
felled it to the ground. Now there are
men who for twenty years have shamed
the day and wearied the night with
their debauoheries, but who yet seem
strong and vigorous, and exolaim {:
"You need not talk Of penalties Look
at me ! l am as hale and hearty to day
as ever" But, iu reality, they are full
of weakness aud decay. They have been
preparing to fall for twenty years, and
the first disease strikes them down in a
moment. ~
