When the boar FRI ST on the house-top gilt

Old summer days come back, with June's gala
roses glowing,
In dreams,
In dreams you wander with me beside the rest

Where the willows kiss the surface TIL the
troubled water gleaIns;
And / watch the SUNSHINE on 1t where the
weeping willows culver
In dreams.
In dreams your soft voice haunts me; and your
love speech low and tender,
AS bend my head'to listen, like an angels
whisper seems.
There is dew upon the grass there; and catch
the mornings splendor
In dreams.
In dreams no fate divides us; you are mine to
love forever.
How the wild birds sing around us, and the
golden sunlight streamsl
Love is mirrored in your eyes as the willows
in the river,
In dream5.
In dreams, in dreams we part not. The day

May take you; but each morning with the
dreamer's vision CLEANS;
You are mine when night recalls you with your
young heart free from sorrow
In dreams.

writes as follows:
Il have been suffering during several years from
severe Illness, and general breaking down of my
physical system. and have tiled the treatment and
prescriptions of many doctors far and near, and
travelled to the Hot Springs and other springs ia
nous for their remedial qualities, drinking the
waters and bathing Systematically in their healing
depths but all to avail. steadily failed in
| health; and although informed by my physicians
| that my ailments and weaknesses were the result
of kidney disease Of a dangerous character, they
| could give me nothing to cure me. Dnring the
past two years my suferings at times were dread
| full and had the most Undesirable pains in the
regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms of which
were so severe TO render itimpossible for me TO
sleep. While in this deplorabe and discouraged
condition was persuaded to try Hunts Remedy,
and after using less than half bottle my great
sufIerings and paroxysms of pain were entirely re
| lieved, and could sleep longer and better than
| had in two years before, and although am now on
my third bottle only my improvement is very re-
markable and regret that did not know of the
wonderful curative powers Of Hunts Remedy be-
| fore, as it wond have saved me years of suffering
l heartily recommend it to all afflicted with any
kidney disease or disease of the urinary organs. -
