MISREPRESENTATION THE FIRST LAW
OF NATURE.

In these degenerate days when ennui
or a morbid craving for excitement
alternately depresses or enlivens the
animal pulse OF unfortunate humanity
a word, blow, pistol shot too often
ends the chapter of life and darkens
with gloom and sOrrowing regret a muir
derer's future. Truly self-preservs-
ton is the first law OF nature" but this
i'm its fullest and grandest sense should
include preservation of ones equaniIn-
ity of temper, preservation of happy
Consciousness of living and doing right
IL, 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 ell
joyable TO ourselves. Again, knowl-
edge OF that which promotes and that
which impairS the harmonious action OF
natural bodily functions Is essential 10
the best preservation of ali there Is in
life worth living. To this end 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
neys give pain, when natural functions
cause distress, and gloomy forebOdingS

wisest selection OF a medicine for coun-
teracting such evidences OF i'll health and
restoring robust strength to all parts OF
the body is DR.. GUIS0TTS YELLOW

Der this and do not let your druggists
sell you in its place anything of differ
ent name, for the writer, who was him
self an invalid for years, knows this
