Some years ago there was a very

Observation-Disclosures NAV come
from very many causes, and is not
necessarily the indication of a strong
or weak intellect. Sir Isaac New
ton might forget whether he had
eaten his dinner or not, because his
mind was occupied with great
thoughts; while another n. an would
be so absorbed an his dinner that the
greatest thoughts uttered in his pres
ence would not receive the slightest
attention.
Some human beings waste half
their hives thinking about nothing.
The power of fixing the mind upon
one subject to the absolute exclusion
of everything else, is rare gift.
The ability to collect the scattered
faculties of the mind in a sudden
emergency, and bring them to bear
clearly aud directly upon the matter
in hand, is also a rare but most de-
sirable gift.
Whatever one does he ought to
give attention to it. If it is not
worth doing at all, let it go-or do
it well: Mental discipline means
simply the ability to concentrate the
thoughts. The wind soon obliter-
ares the impression made upon the
sand: but the inscription that is cut

Messrs, WEEKS & Potter wholesale Druggists,

"The Absent-MInded Man"

The phrase "absence of mind"
does not imply that a man has no
mind, but only that his faculties
nave gone off, as it were, on a visit,
or that "the wits have gone away
wool gathering"-as it is expressed
metaphorcally-to the neglect of
those duties that need attention At
home. 1t is very difficult to keep up
a pleasant conversation with a per-
son of this description. While you
are talking in the most interested
manner, his eyes soon become fixed

L HAVE FOUND
THE RIGHT MEDICINE.

BosTON, Mass.
Mr.. H. R. STEVENS.
Dear Sir,-My only object in giving you this
testimonial is to spread valuable information.
Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and
the whole surface Of my skin being covered with
pimples and eruptiOns, many of which caused me
great pain and annoyance, and knowing it to be a
blood disease, took many Of the advertised blood
preparations, among which was any quantity of
Sarsaparilla, without obtaining any benefit until
1 commenced taking the VEGETIEE; and before l
had completed the first bottle saw that had got
the right medicine. Consequently followed on
with it until had taken seven bottles, when l
was pronounced a well man; and my skin is
smooth, and entirely free from pimples and erup-
tions. have never enjoyed such good health he
fore, and attribute it all to the use of VEeETINE.
To beaeft those afflicted with Rheumatism | will
max mention also of the VEGETINE's wonderful
power of curing me OF this acute complaint, of
which have suffered SO intensely.
