Dear SIR Allow me to state the following facts
For ten years my daughter had been troubled with
Catarrh 1t was continually growing worse, and we
had at last given up all hopes of her ever being cured
for to all appearances she was in the last stages of
consumption; her appetite was gone, and her whole
system was completely run down. Seeing your adj
vertisement in che of our papers, as last resort
purchased box, little thinking it would be of any
benefit to her, had tried numerous articles, both
here and in the united States. 1 am now happy to
state that one box of Rseder's German Snuff has
made complete cure. Her appetite is good and
she is fast recovering her wonted health and happi-
ness. Very gratefully yours,
GEORGE H. ESTEY.
Suffering reader, don't get discour-
aged il you have spent hundreds of dol
lars on worthless trash without any
real benefit, but remember that in this
simple German remedy you have a cure
that is always safe and sure, and in the
use of this there is

AN EARNEST LIFE.- Earnestness does
not always move with a clatter. There are
other things in this world which are quite
as pleasant aud edifying as the rub-a dub
dub of snare drum. In fact this kind OF
melody is not generally the highest style of
music. Have you never known man bus
tlng and oiiiciouS, and clamOrous and loud
but who did not weigh heavy after ala
thing very well understood by every one
except Just the man who might have prof
itrd by that piece of information? And
have you never known man, quiet and
unostentatious and faithful, and who was A
perpetual blessing, golden man, deep
souled and true. whose memory fingered
long after he was gone, like light upon the
hills after gorgeous sunset
The shallow stream rattles alono its
course; but when it is met and drowned
by the majestic tides rolling in from the
seas, there is silence on the hills. In the
great tide there is the power of more than
hundred mvuletS, yet its coming is al
most as quiet as the celestial forces that
bring it. Tho tide flows down, and shal,
low grows the stream, and again the empty
goes on. And this is what we
wish to say, that things most potent, al
though demonStrative, as indeed they must
be from their effects, are not necessarily
noisy. \ strong and earnest life need not
make what people are in the habit of call
ing 8 fuss" 1t is better to be known bv
the lead that strikes, than by the bang of
the gun that sends it.
