CARD.

Mr.. EDrToR:-Permit US through your
paper to render thanks to whom thanks
are due, for the very pleasant occasion
enjoyed at father Delaplain's on Tues
day afternoon of this week. The society
of Rose Hill convened in mass at about
1 p. m. Of course we convened also.
And such a supper of good things-well,
it had to be seen and tasted to be appre-
ciated and assure you you it was appre-
ciated. Even Bro. Muth, with all his
dif6dence, enjoyed it. Each seemed to
vie with the others to make it pleasant
and profitable, and if you had seen what
Bro. Willett brought to the parsonage,
you would agree with US, in saying it
was good time, and profitable.

used BOsCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let
its wonderful qualities be known to thei'
friends in curing Consumption, Severe
coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases Nc
person can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any case
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle
as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the GER

Is at that sorrowful stage of life when
the blood and system have become i'm
poverished by old age or disease. Par.
ker's Ginger Tonic is a powerful invig.
GRANT, and affords just the help that the
aged. the feeble. and the convalescent
require, because it insures perfect diges-
ton and enjoyment of the food, enriches
the blood, and arouses the dormant
energies OF the debilitated organs. While
it never intoxicates nor creates any
desire for stimulants, it diffuses warmth
and vigor throughout the system, re-
news the appetite, soothes the nerves,
banishes melancholy, and gives strength
and elasticity to the worn out frame.
Many other highly curative properties
not possessed by Ginger are added to this
pleasant remedy, making it entirely
different from Essence Of Ginger and
free from their constipating effect. Buy
a s1.0O bottle from your druggist, R. B.
Stevenson, or a sample bottle at Is cts,
and test its extraordinary merits.
