"German SYRUP"

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such a test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup
In three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medicine
were distributed free of charge by drug
gists in this country to those afflicted
with Consumption, Asthma, Group, Sc
we're Coughs, Pneumonia and other dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs, giving
the American people undeniahle proof
that German Syrup will cure them. The
result has been that Druggists in every
town and village in the United States
are recommending it to their customers.
Go to your Druggists, ,Sumpter & Lacey,
and ask what they know about it. Sam

Romans were want, in beseiging
city, to hoist white flag and send
to the enemy a message announcing
that so long as that white flag re-
mained floating in the breeze those
who surrendered should be secured
from harm. But if they fingered
till after the flag was lowered and a
black ensign was lifted in its place,
every man, woman and child should
be put to death. God gives us an
opportunity to save our souls
through the gushing blood of
Christ. But let the black flag of
death be lowered, and there is no
alternative then but the damnation
which is eternal. Adam and Eve
were, In the Garden of Eden, inno-
cent as babies, and knowing no
shame or evil, but for the eating of
the apple. All the wars and pesti-
lence and earthquakes and tenn
pests and famine that have swept
the earth have follwed. Now, if
God inflicts all this punishment on
the world for one little sin, is eter-
nal damnation too long for the sins
of man for ten, twenty or thirty
years of life and sinninga The BIZ
BILE is called "glad tidings of great |
joy" About what? If we are to
escape no punishment why should |
we JOY over the escape? If all the
worldaregoing straight to glory what
is your bible or your creed good |
for? You can go to hell, my friends
if you want to, and its your own ac-
tion which sends you there. God |
has offered you salvation. 1 find |
you a wayfarer, sore and weary, |
and ! ask you to come to my house
to rest, to rest, to sit down and |
feast, and you refuse, saying: ~
will go on nrther." After walking
a mile you fall in the highway and
die. Did kill you? So God in

The Missing Link.

Some years ago a traveller came
back from Africa with a marvellous
story of a region inhabited by men
with tails. From quite another
quarter of the world report now
reaches us that the half ape, half
man, is no myth. The Rev. George
Brown, who has recently visited the
New Britain and New Ireland group
of islands to the east of New Gui
nea, writes that the natives of
Blanche Bay positively affirm the
existence of a race of men with
tails at a place called Kahhi.
When it was suggested that the sup
posed men might be gorrillas the
blacks Indignantly resented the i'm.
putation upon their intelligence,
and asked whether apes fought with
spears, planted yams and built
houses. A minute description was
given OF the curiously formed saw
ages, and from this it would appear
that nature has been somewhat in
considerate in her design of the APP
pendage. The tail, the natives say,
sis hard and infexible-so much SO
that they have to dig hole in the
ground before they can sit down, as
they die at ounce if the appendage
is broken" The people provided
with this dangerous ornament are,
however, represented as rather
proud of it. "Any child born with

THE WAR IN PROPHECY.
The Rev. Dr.. Baldwin's Views as
Embodied in "Armageddon."
Chicago Inter-ocean. ]

Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
The present situation of affairs in
Europe calls out many references
to the article, "The European War
in Prophecy" which appeared in
the Inter Ocean of October %, 1876,
and which was repnblished in May
last. The article was devoted to
statement of the views of the Rev.
S. D. Baldwin. given in his book,
"Armageddon; or, the United States
in Prophecy" published in 1851.
The following is the summary at
tached 20 the quotations from the
book, as published in the Inter
Ocean, in October, 1876:
According to the views Of Mr.
Baldwin, the accomplishment of
Daniels prophecy was to begin in
1876, continue through 1877 and
terminate before the close of April,
1873. Should his representations
turn out to be true, the near future
will develop startling and profound
ly interesting events, In that case
the efforts of the European powers
to patch up peace will be abortive
(this was written in 1876, before
the commencement of the war, and
while the representatives OF the
powers were in conference); the
cruel operstion of the revolted
Bulgaria and Servia by
Russian troops will take place; Eng
land will oppose the Cars progress
with sudden and tremendous on
set in magnificent array, but with
out avail; Russian armies will vic
toriously cross the Balkans into |
Turkey, making conquest of the
European portion Arst, then pour
triumphantly into Asia Minor, and |
reduce it to subsection, together
with Egypt and Palestine. If Dan
-ePs prophecy has been accurately
interpreted, Russia is to become the
autocratic colossus among nations
in the Old World within eighteen
months from the date October %,

Pay -FOUR Physicians.

Fayetteville Express: The ply
sicians of Shelbyville unite in pub
fishing a card to the public in
which they announce that i'll the fu-
ture they will refuse attention to
all able bodied men, white and col
ored. who could if they would, but
never make an effort to pay. They
do this upon the principle of the
maxim that the laborer is worthy
of his hire, and in justice to them
selves. Physicians, next to pub
fishers, are the worst treated, in
this respect, of any other class of
men, and we do not blame them for
adopting such a course to protect
themselves against the lazy, triflng
vagabonds, to be found in every
community who dead-head their
way through the world, living off
the earnings of the hard working
and Industrious members of the
community. Physicians, as a pro-
fession, exercise great charity, and
dispense more of it than they get
credit for. They are greatly i'm
posed upon by the lazy, able-bodied
men, who, if treated everywhere as
the Shelbyville doctors propose to
do, would soon learn that their
services are indispensable. and they
would make an effort to remunerate
them, at least in part, for their skill,
medicine and attention.
