''WHY WILL YE DIE, On YE OF LIT
TIE FAITH ?"-The following well-written
article is from the Davenport Democrat of
December 10, 1872, and is a powerful re
mlnder to the afflicted:
The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is
pale Gonsumptlon, stealing into the maid
en- bosom, flushing her cheek, blanching
hef SEln, and feeding like a living worm Of
death upon her vitals A lover may

ton. A mother may listen to her mid
night breathing, 1t Is but a muffied drum
beating her death -knel. A father NAV

| his efforts are in vain, her bridal bed is the
burial case her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer Of her lungs is at work.
and physicians have no remedy, the phar-
mae0peia no drug which can keep her from
her destiny. Sad as this view is, there is,
happily, bright side Providence has
garnered up in the storeh0uses OF vegeta-
ton, sovereign balm in the juices OF
plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to heal
the eating ulcer, to renovate the failing
lung, to bring health, strength and vigoI
to the wasted frame The keen eye Of
science has searched for it, the chemist :
skill has seized upon it, the retort and
alembic have extracted it, and the remedy
| is produced which will stay the progress O
the stealthy death fiend. The result o
this careful study of nature is Allen,
