Post,naster.s Statement.

About three years ago there came upon me
a feeling of general debility, accompanied
with loss of appetite and energy. Eventually
rheumatism attacked me in my shoulders and
arms, which so disable we that l could not
dress myself. Finally l had to give up my
school, 1 was then engaged in teaching. The
physicians tried various prescriptions, but
failed to bring me relief. In fact, some of
them seemed to be at a loss to make a dag
nosis of my case. The disease finally settled
in my right hip and leg, and produced Jumps
under the skin ana swelling of the limb, es-
pecially at the ankle, that l could not rest at
night or walk except with a crutch. Preyi-
ously l had been a man of fine physique and
strong constitution. Various remedies were
tried but no permanent relief followed, and
they were abandoned. Seeing a certificate of
a case similar to mine that had been cured by
Swift's Specific, l concluded to try it. l COM
mcnced to improve on the first bottle. Have
taken twelve bottles of the large and small,
and am glad to say that l have been entirely
relieved, and have had no symptom of the dis
ease for more than twelve months. recon

An exchange. says that it is a well es-

An exchange says that it is a well es-
tablished principle that the people make
the place, not its facilities for business.
1t is true that an energetic, prosperous
people may be kept back by a lack of
natural advantages, but this is not al
ways the case. A thousand towns are
kept in check by the greed and lack of
public spirit Of the people where n is
kept down by the location. Push and
energy overcomes all obstacles greed
and want OF energy will kill the most
promising locality. So the village is to
be just what citizens make it. If the
land owners hold the lots 80 high that
the manufactures are kept out, this will
act as a weight to keep it down. If the
citizens prefer to patronize merchants of
other places, that helps keep a town
down. What is wanted for the town is
to be united as far as public good is con-
Patronize each other as far as
possible, and new enterprises, especially
manufactures. Give a warm greeting to
a new settler, as tar as may be in every
thing that shall tend to the public good.
If this policy is pursued a village will
grow and become a thrifty and
prosperous town. If on the contrary, un-
less they are to get a slice of the profit,
look upon every new arrival as a pigeon
to be plucked, and patronize their neigh
bors only when they cannot do as well
Or better somewhere else, then a place
will grow slowly, if at all; its natural adj
vantages will go to waste, and count for
nothing in the question of prosperity.
