They contain the grand curative element, Elec-

sweet, as we 90 along.

Contenlment is not an outer
growth. It's roots spring from the
very depths of the soul, and are
nourished as well by rain AS by sun
shine, by sorrow as 10y Joy. When
once one has resolved within himself
to take life as it is and make the
best of it, then he may, even in
tribulation, take comfort, though the
majority of people do not prefer to
take it in that form.
The delights of life, like pleasant
weather through the year, are scat
tered all along the way, and unless
we enjoy them as they come the oP.
portunity once past never returns.
1t is all very well to provide for a
rainy day, but that man is very
foolish who allows himself to be
soaked by drenching rains that ne
may save his umbrella for some tu-
ture storm.
Pleasure taking is not nearly so
much provided for among earnest,
intense, energetic American people
as it should be. We live altogether
too much in the future, to- little in
the present. We live poor that we
may die rich. We get already TO
ue happy, and when we are quite
ready, infrmity or disease or death
steps in and the chance to take COM
fort in this life is gone. If we could
be content to sieze upon the little
pleasures that lie just outside, and
often within our daily pathway,
they would make large sum total
at the end of the three score and
ten. Far too many of us scorn
pleasures that are cheap and near
and within our grasp, and complain
because we cannot have such as are
costly and remote and inaccessible.
But if we only would magnify the lit
tie things that make life pleasant as
we do those that make it unpleasant,
the cup of our Joy would continually
overflow. We complain of cloud
and storm, but do we rejoice in the
sunshine and fair weather? We
grieve at the coldness of a friend,
but do we value fully the fidelity OF
those who remain true? We count
the hours when sickness prostra ates
US, but how many days of health
pass utterly unnoted and without
thanksgiving? We mourn passion
ateIy for the dead, while we neglect
the living whom tomorrow we
may weep as dead. 1t is well tol
us to heed the saying of the wise
man: ''There is nothing better than
that man should rejoice in his owl
works; for that is his portion; fol
who shall bring him to see what
shall be after him?''

Taking Comfort.

The dream of mortals is of time
coming when cares shall CO ase to in
fest, anxieties to oppress, every
wish to be gratifed, and they shall
"take solid comfort" ;"
Many waste all their lives in the
vain persuits of this dream, which,
like the Wiil-o'-the-wisp, leads them
a sad chase, over the bog, and fen
and morass, eluding them to the
last. A few thoughtful souls arrive
seasonably at the wise conclusion,
that not in this world will the time
ever come when, without any dregs
of bitterness, the chalice pressed to
our lips will be full of comfort only.
We must take the bitter with the

CONSUMPTION can BE CURED.
Schenck's PulmOnIc Syrup.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills,

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmona-
~ Consumption.
frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death of the patient; they lock
up the liver, stop the circulation Of the blood,
hemorrhage follows, and in fact they clog the ac-
ton of the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaints and Dyspepsia are the causes
of oftwo-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of dull pain in the side, CON
stipatfon, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade feelings ofdroWsiness and restlessness, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from dis
ordered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons SO affected, If they take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver
clogged remaining torpid and inactive, and al
most before thy are aware the lungs are mass
of sores, and uicerated, the result of which is
death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calcu-
lated TO check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissoYes the food,
mixes with the gastric juices OF the stomach. aids
digestion, and creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costiVe, skin sa low, or
the symtoms otherwise of bilious tendency,
Schencks Mandrake Pills are required.

A French medical journal speak
of the value of milk in all gastric
arrangements so frequently induced
by high temperature. In very hot
weather small draughts of milk are
found to relieve the thirst and to
render unnecessary the drinking of
many fluids, which, though they may
allay the thirst, are liable to produce
some disorder at the same time. An
instance was cited of severe case
being relieved by repeated draughts
of warm milk, when laudanum had
been given without success.
