one more trial, and oh with what great
pleasure l can say that l can now see to

cpREAD THE TRUTH.

SomO medical men insist that II IL undignlled
to advertise remedy, however valuable 1t may
DO. Queer reasoning this. It's like saying that
an article which the world needs should be hid in
corncr-tllat benefits and blessings may be too
widely dilIascd- that tho means Of protecting and
restoring health should DO close monopoly, aud
not accessible TO all. Tho argument Is bad, It Is
worse than that; 1t is inhuman. Suppose Hos
letters Stomach Dlttcrs-an absolute specific for
dyspepsia, billlousncss and nervous debility
had mover been known beyond tho repertoire oil
the faculty, what would have beCn tho oonsc'
QueneoI Instead OF curing and inyigorahng
millions, tho good effects Of the preparation
would have been confined to q comparative few.
There Is tho highest authority for saying that
light should not DO hid under buShCl that
whatcvcrls excellent should be placed as city
on hill, whore oil mon can take cognlZanco oil
It. Its upon this principle that tho BttGrs have
been advertised and continue to DO advertised In
every newspaper Of any prominence in the west
Grn hemisphere, and that the spontaneous testl
monias In its favor have boon translated into oil
written languages Thousands enjoy perfect
health to-day who would DO languishing on beds
