There is q close analogy between

There is q close analogy between
the world of nature and the world OF
spirit. They bear tho impress OF the
same hand; and hence the principles
of nature and its laws are the types
and shadows of the Invisible. Just
as two books, though on different
subjects, proceeding from the same
pen, manifest indications of the
thought of one mind, 80 the worlds,
visible and invisible, are two books
written by the same finger, and gov
erned by the same idea; or rather,
they are but one book, separated into
two only by the narrow range Of our
ken.

Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
sDR. 9. B. HARTMAN b Co., Columbus,
Ohio: commenced on the eth bottle Of
your PERUNA fhis morning, and should
lust as soon think Of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctorinG for about fouE
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when ] got one Of your books, The Ills
of Life" was in bed at the time. j
read and re-read your book and felt Like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything mora.
was too far gone, and might a. well
make up my mind to die. told them
PERUNA was the medicine ! needed, and
I intended to try bottle. It proved asuc-
cess in breaking the chills, and If it had
not done one thing more, would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
I feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
SO well, as they all thought was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
I. recommend It to everybody see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. I
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as / priced it very high
ly. The other got the name Of the Pr
RUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Migrants,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
| There was lump raised on my collar
bone. and it was a long time before 1t
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would Rave to lance it in few days, but
thought would attend to that myself
| so put little fly blister on it and II
opened; then / put poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time
1t got so bad and spread upon my LEFT
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places or
my head, one near the temple and one
back Of my ear that was just dreadful
| No tongue can tell what suffered. Ny
head felt SO strange sometimes, / though
| was going crazy. Since / have uset
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away
And oh, what relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
| know all about it.
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa.s writes
Your PERUNA is a good medicine, ana
we sell lots of it. VIII you please sent

the settlement of such pressing |
question as Is the Indian problem |
men occupying diverse, not to say |
adverse, standpoints are coming to
practical agreement, SO that philan-
thropists and politicians, soldiers and
statesmen, doctrinaires and business
nsen can unite in commencing a def
mite policy to the Government that
seems just, wise, and practicable
Our most experienced army officers
on the frontier would hardly disagree
with Gen. Armstrong in characteriz-
ing the action of the Government
towards the wards of the nation as
"a century of blunders." But there
are unmistakable signs that the peo-
pie wish these blunders to be cor
rected, and the nstion to be freed
from the stigma of perfdy and wrong
chat has attached to it. The difficult
ties connected with the Reservation
system are increasing in magnitude,
and while these immense tracts OF
land remain as they are they will be
q source of continual strife and COW
etous contention; so that now gener-
ais and civilians are coming to agree
that the p1atfrom of the recent Con-
ference of Friends of Indian Civiliza-
ton at Lake Mohonk is safe, sound,
and necessary. That platform, the
outcome of deliberate and thought
full discussion, recommends the en-
larging of the present system of
Indian education, the abolition of the
reservation system, giving each In
dian family portion of land to be
held in severalty and inalienable for
Is years, the purchase by Govern
ment of the remainder of the reser-
vations at fair rate for the sake of
throwing them open to settlement,
and the admission to citizenship OF
all Indians who abandon their tribal
organization and adopt the habits
and modes of civilized life. A bill
covering many of these points passed
the Senate last winter unanimously.
It is a matter for congratulation that
the present Administration has shown
such manifest desire to be a trust.
worthy guardian to its "wards, and
to protect them from the rapacity Of
greedy spectators. It it to be hoped
that the House of Representatives
viii find time at the coming session
to sanction the Senate bill, and thus
Eprepare the way for a wise and just
solution of the perplexing problem
by making the Indian self-support
ing, law-abiding citizen.

Our first life is spontaneous and
instructive. Our second life is re-
Elective. There is a moment when
the life spontaneous passes into the
reflective. We live at first by instinct;
then we look in, feel ourselves, ask
what we are and whence we came,
and whittier we are bound. In an
awful new world of MYSTERY, and des-
tines, and duties, we feel God, and
know that our true home is our Faith
er's house which has many mansions.
