SPRING WITHOUT BLOSSOMS.
Late in Life to Look for Joy--Yet
49, Never too Late to Mend.

Readers of Hawthorne's blouse of Seven
Cables will recall the pathos with which poor
Clifford Pyncheon. who had been unjustly i'm
prisoned since his early manhood, said, after
his release: my life is gone, and where is my
happiness? Oh give me my happiness. But
that could be done only in part. as CLEANS of
warm sunshine occasionally fall across the
gloom OF a New England autumn day.
In letter to Messrs Hiscox & Co., Mr.. T.. H.
Titus, of Pennington, N. J., says:l''I have suf-
fered untold misery from childhood from
chronic disease of the bowels and diarrhoea
accompanied by great pain. 1 sought relief
at the hands of physicians of every school and
used every patent and domestic remedy under
the sun. have at last found in PARKERS'S
TONIC a complete specific, preventive and
cure. AS your Invaluable medicine, which did
for me what nothing else could do, lis entitled to
the credit of my getting back my happy
days, cheerfully and gratefully acknowledge
the fact .-.
Mr.. E. S. Wells, who needs no Introduction
to the people of Jersey City, adds: ''The testi-
monial Of Mr.. Titus is genuine and voluntary, !;
only he does not adequately portray the suf-
fering he has endured for many years. He is
my brother-in-law, and know the case we'll.
He is now perfectly free from his old troubles,
and enjoys health and life, ascribing it all to
PARKER's TONIC. =

the organs; cures ailments of the liver, kid
neys, and all diseases Of the blood.
