SELF PRESERVATION the FIRST
LAW OF NATURE.

In these degenerate days when eunni
or a morbid craving for excitement
alternately depresses or enlivens the
animal pulse of unfortunate humanity,
n word, a blow, a pistol shot, too often
ends the chapter Of life aud darkens
with gloom and sorrowing regret q muir
derer's future. Truly "seif-preserva-
ton is the first law of nature" but this
in Its fullest and grandest sense should
include o preservation Of ones equanim-
ity of temper, o preservation of q happy
consciousness Of living and doing right
~, a preservation of that disposition
which shows a regard for the lives and
feelings of others, all of which makes
life endurable to our associates and en-
joyable to ourselves. Again, a knowl-
edge of that which promotes and that
which impairs the harmonious action Of
natural bodily functions Is essential to
the best preservation of all there is in
life worth living. To this end a judi
cious selection of remedial agents
should unerringly be made when the
wheels of perfect health begin to run
slow, when the stomach grows weak,
when the liver feels sore, when the kid
ncys give pain, when natural functions
cause distress. and gloomy f~orebodings
become constant companions. The
wisest selection of a medicine for coun-
teracting such evidences of ill health
and restoring robust strength to all parts
of the bod is DIR. GUYSOTTS YELL
Low DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA.
Remember this, and do not let your
druggists sell you in its place anything
Of a different name, for the writer, who
was himself an invalid for years,
knows this remedy to excel as a health
restorative all other preparations.
