THE TRUSTING HEART.

Every spray or flower
Lives a growing life alone;
Builds an inner bower
A small world of it's own!
The smallest star in Heaven supreme
Shines and fills n space.
And the clear, ether stream.
Folds it in warm embrace.
Like the spray and the flower.
And the stars that shine fol- us,
Beams the heart of truth each hour,
Lovely, sweet and marvellous.

0h,MyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold.
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility. &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BIrTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and MAX
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, Of Logans-
port, Indiana. writes: i" My wife
has for many years been trou-
bled from rain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters.
and I can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she p.onounees it the
only remedy Of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT

suffering as you are. and it
will cure you.
