exactons These crimes are mute protests.
they are secret. silent, and dishonorable at
tempts to escape from a bondage that has
proven unbearabIe, but which, having been
imposed they had not the moral courage to
rebel against openly. The light esteem in
which the honor Of women is held. the
crimes that prove of almost hourly occur.
renee, are only the symptoms of that corrup.
ton which exists in society, and will at last
rend it TO the very centre. This course Of
social action and government can have bu;
one end, and that is mental, moral. and
social chaos.
There is a higher law for society than self
ishness and convenience, and that is the
protection Of character and reputation.

Dujardin's Life Essence gives brain force

1t is astonishing the number of intelli-
gent people who regard a cold or cough as
a trivial matter, something unnecessary TO
pay attention to. How many times have
you heard the expression, 20, nothing the
matter, only a slight cold" Yes, my
friend, and nne-tenths of the many thou
sand consumptives who walk the earth to-
day doomed to premature death, said the
same thing. We pay attention to cold,
and promptly, too. Our remedy is Am
mems Cough Syrup: some other prepare
tions are good, but we have found it by far
the best.
