has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore being liable TO accu-

| This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedatve and aperient in all
cases OF irritation acidity of the
complaints, infantile disorders, sickness.
An ounce or two Of this solution speedily re-
| moves heartburn, acrid eructations and sourness,
or irregular digestion.
The solution Is of itself an aperient, but its laxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it or directly after it, a little lemon Juice,
mixed vita sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartar, in this manner a very agreeable effer-
vescent draugh can be safely taken at any time
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to IL presence of SO much carbonlc acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
YER As a lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the
breath, and the Magncsia cleans the teeth from
tartar.
The solution is almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits spasms and headache to which dell
cate persons are subject from acids and crudties OF
the stomaC b and bowels.
The attention Of the public is particularly direct
cd to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia:

A USEFUL PRESIDENTIAL CANDI-
DATE.
BY REV. GEO. II. BALL, ID. ID.

James A. Garfield is just now specta-
Gle and an inspiration to every young
man in the nation. 1t is most fortunate
that the salient features of his life and
character are all helpful, elevating, en-
nobling. Elections are educational. No
one element in American life is more so.
Candidates for high Office become ideals,
types to be copied, examples which pro-
foundly impress our most talented and
ambitious youth. The climax ofworldly
success is an election to the Presidency of
this great nation. No honor among men
surpasses this. The characteristics of the
man who wins, are accepted as conditions
of success and hence to be cherished and
cultivated. The influence for good or
evil is immense. Close inspection Of Mr..
Garfield's career adds force to manly i'm
pulses and inspires to noble endeavor.
The value of this fact cannot be over
estimated.
My first acquaintance with him was in
lS49, when be was youth of seventeen.
In May, ls47, took the pastorate of the
Baptist church at Chester, Ohio, and be-
came assistant teacher in Geauga semin-

worthy Free Baptist minister, and Presi-

fall. In the winter of 1889 he taught

ship of Orange, where the Garfield fami-
ly resided. James had returned from his
toll on the canal, sick with chills and
fever, unable either to work or study with
much vigor. Mr.. Bates found several
young men in the district about Gar6eld's
age, who had "gone through arithmetic"
but really knew little of its principles,
and he induced them to form class and
meet an hour before school for drill.
This was extra and gratuitous work for
Bates, but be was eager to do good and
delighted in the effort. Young Garfield
was induced to join the class, and soon
became 90 enthusiastic that his arithme.
tic became bis .'mcat and drink" between
