The ImpOrtant Question,

OF all loathsome diseases catarrh stands
pre- eminent 1t renders its victim as disgust
ing to himself rs to others. And the most
humiliating of all is the consciousness that his
presence is offensive to those around him. If
any disease deserves the name of universal it
is this. Dietetc errors and the follies which
fashion imposes upon us tend to foster and dis
seminate it. To the pitiful cry of its victims,
is there any cure for cdtdrTh there il but one
answer consistent with Christian reason. God
has never sent one evil into the world for which
he has not sent the remedy. For the greatest
of ali spiritual and moral evils, the Great Ply
sician has prescribed potent and never-fail-
ing remedy. He has given explicit rules for
the treatment and preservation of the spiritual
and moral man, but He is silent in all matters
relating to the physical man. 1t would be an un-
warrantable detraction from His benelicent
character to suppose that He has afflicted the
greater portion of humanity with an incurable
disease. The day of plaques is past. The
God of Christianity is God of love, of mercy
His message is "good will to all men," The
earth and all contained therein was intended by
the great Designer to supply mans wants y; and
surely he has no greater wants than reme-
dies for his infirmities Science is rapidly
proving that the earth is fitted to supply man s
uttermost need. New medicinal plants are con-
stantly being discovered and new properties de-
yeloped from those already known. For ca
tarrh, the most potent remedy yet discovered
is Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy. Its efficacy has
been tested in many thousand cases with uni
form success. Cases that had been repeatedly
pronounced incurable, readily yielded to it. In
confirmed, or obstinate cases, DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery should be taken in
connection with the use of the Catarrh Remedy.
Full particulars in Pierce's memorandum books.
They are given away by druggists.

Pleasant Thoughts.

BY steps we may ascend to God.
Eternity, thou pleasing, dreadful
Thought.
The man that makes a character
makes foes.
That is most wretched fortune which
is without an enemy.
Extended empire, like expanded gold,
exchanges solid strength for feeble
splendor.
The devil never yet tempted man
whom he found judiciously employed.
The reason why lovers are never weary
Of one another is this--they are always
talking of themselves.
Pride is not the heritage of man; hu-
nlility should dwell with frailty, and
atone for ignorance, error and imperfec-
ton.
Deep is the sea, and deep is hell, but
pride runneth deeper; it is coiled as a
poisonous worm about the foundation of
the soul.
When there is no recreation or bust
ness for thee abroad thou mayest then
have company of honest old fellows,
in leathern jackets, in thy study, which
may find thee excellent advertisement at
)m~.
Philosophers have done wisely when
they told US to cultivate our reason rath-
CT than our feelings, for reason recon-
Giles us to the daily things of existence;
our feelings teach us to yearn after the
far, the difficult. the unseen.

Lemons for Consumption.

An exchange gives the following recipe
for consumption Put dozen of wi ole
lemons in cold water and boil until soft
mot too sot) roll and squeeze until the
juice is all extracted, sweeten the juice
enough to be palatable, then drink. Use
rs many as dozen day. Should they
cause pain or looseness of the bowels,
lessen the quantity and use five or six q
day, until little better, then begin and
Use a dozen again. BY the time you have
used five or six dozen, you will begin to
gain strength and have an appetite. Of
course, as you get better, you need not
use as many. Follow these directions,
and we know you will never regret it if
there is any help for you. Only keep it
up faithfully. We-know of two cases
where both of the patients we're given up
by the physicians, and were in the last
stages of consumption, yet both were
cured by simply using lemons according
to the directions we have stated. One
lady in particular was bedridden and
very low; had tried everything that money
could procure. but all in vain, when, to
please friend, she was finally persuad-
ed to use the lemons. She began to use
them in February, and in April she
weighed 140 pounds. She is q we'll
woman to-day, and likely to live as long
as any of us.
