Out of employment, he wandered
about the city like the unclean spirit,
seeking rest and finding none. His
heart was full of curses, and to drown
his modification, he drank deep and
desperately till his days and nights
were one continual debauch.
In the meantime, Mr.. Moody and
Sankey began their meetings in Liver
pool. The fame of the evangelists was
in every mouth, and the young actor,
hearing them discussed and ridiculed
among his low associates, conceived the
idea of writing burlesque about them
for the stage.
He sObered himself sufficiently to be-
gin. But he felt that he could moi
make his work complete without more
"points" and "hitsn to give it zest. Sc

among the penitent inquirers, and was
soon led to accept the Lord Jesus a,

London, preparing himself to be a mis-
sionary.
Often a remembered hymn will keel

nothing else can. That simple Sunday

Wise above praise in a multitude of
precepts, yet in nothing was the Great
Proverb- Maker wiser than when he
said: Look not upon it. How true to
the life is his whole statement of the
matter! "Wine is mocker, and strong
drink is raging; and whatsoever is de-
ceived thereby is not WISE" Deception
is the significant thought. Deception is
thereby" The wisdom is in looking
not on it, in avoiding all contact with
it.

ing if one will insist on dabbling in
drink. When the fires of appetite are
once fairly kindled, good purposes are
only as tow to feed the flames. AssO-
Citations the most pleasant are no safe

practice of drinking be only begun and
followed up for little. How many
sweet and elevated homes have been

by some drunken member thereof.

brilliant are no certain guaranty of sue
cessful resistance to temptation. How

A Life Changed by a Hymn

On the stage at one of the Liverpool
theatres, comic singer came out be-
fore the footlights to sing. just as he
was about to commence his waggish
melody, the tune of a sweet Sunday
school hymn, learned years before, came
suddenly to mind, and so confused him
that he completely forgot his part. He
stood moment trying in vain to recall
it, and then retired, covered with
shame.
The manager, enraged at his failure,
and still more enraged at his apparent
ly foolish explanation, paid him the
remnant of his wages and ordered him
at once to quit his service.

the temple dizzy spells, weak and painful eyes,
swollen and liberated tonsils, hard and constant
cough, severe pain across the chest, and every N
dication of consumption. My head ached all the
time. The matter accumulated so rapidly IN my
head and throat that could not keep them free:
Frequently at night would spring out OF bed IL

The constant Inflammation and liberation IN my
throat caused by the poisonous matter dropping
down from my head had SO irritated and 1nfiamed
my lungs that coughed necessarily deep hard
cough. Meanwhile my system began to show the
effects of this disease, so that lost flesh, grew
pale, and showed every symptom OF an early death
by consumption. When matters had reached this
stage or about six months ago, began the use OF
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. After
using the first bottle began to improve rapidly.
The first dose seemed to clear my head as had not
known it to be for years. 1t seemed gradually to
days. By using it as gargle soon reduced the
Inflammation and swelling of my tonslls, so that
they soon ceased to trouble me. The soreness
across my chest disappeared the buzzing noises in
my head ceased my senses of hearing and of seeing
were completely restored and every symptom OF

have been thus explicit because, a druggist
have seen great deal of suffering from Catarrh,
and hope to convince many that this is great
| remedy.
1 am familiar with the treatment of Catarrh as
practised by the best physicians, and have con-
suited the most eminent about my case. have
used every kind of remedy and apparatus that have
appeared during period of six years past, and
have while following their use, taken great care OF
my general health, but obtained no relief or en-
couragement from any of them
| Since curing myself with SANFoRD's RADICAL
| CURE, have recommended it in over one hundred
cases without single of failure, and have in
numerous instances received wholesale orders from
parties to whom have sold one bottle. This is the
only patent medicine I have ever recommended,
never having believed in them before, although
constantly engaged in their sale.

Effect of Advertising on Trade.

1t has become a necessity with most people who
trade to get their moneys worth. Every cent
counts, and "a penny saved is penny earned
Business men find this out when it comes to deal
ing with them and thus they find it necessary to
offer every inducement to secure a fair share of
trade People at large, too have come to look in
the papers to find where they get what they
want and get it cheapest. 1t is owing to this
more than anything else that the men who adver-
tise find it pays, and that their business is much
heavier than that of non-advertising competitors,
who may carry as much and as good stock but
who take no pains to inform the people of it
The cheapest place to advertise is in local pa
per which goes into the families which the adver-
tiser wishes to reach, Four-ffths of the money
put into simply advertising sheets, which are
thrown into shops one hour, to be used waste
paper the next, is money thrown away.
