PARDEE MEDICINE Co. GENTLEMEN: am
now seventy three years old, and until was
seventy was always strong and healthy;
but the amount of suffering / have endured
since that time, feel to be sufficient for a
lifetime. / had a severe attack of sCiatic
rheumatism, which completely Frustrated
me; nv limbs and feet, and in fact my
whole body, was so drawn out OF shape that
ii was impossible to move without assistance.
/ was unable TO straighten my limbs or to
step on my feet for more than a year and
my life was dispaired of. / was treated by
three good physi clans. and they and my
friends did all they could to relieve my suf-
fering-but with no avail. My hips were
blistered, and my limbs rubbed, bathed and
bandaged, but nothing they could do af-
forded me even temporary relief. Tongue
cannot describe my suffering | urged them
70 let me try DR.. PaTdees Kennedy, as had
read SO much about it, and Of those who had
oeen cured by its use, that il gave me conf
hence in it, although confess had little or
no faith in so-caled patent medicines. The
remedy was procured, and commenced US
ing il as directed, and after taking IL short
time could see that it was helping me.
Ibegan 70 perspire freely, and as the per-
spiration increased the pain decreased, but
my clothing and bedding was a sight TO be-
hold, being nearly las yellow as saffron
Ihad taken the Remedy but shnlt time,
when could sleep like a child, and relish
nv food like one. Thank God it hes cured
ma, and am to-day as healthy and strong
as before, and can walk and have as free use
of my limbs as ever. ! have recommended
your Remedy to very many who were af-
hicted, and do not know OF a case that it
has not cured. am confident that it will
cure young people, if il viii cure at my age.
You are at liberty TO use my name, if it viii
be the means of inducing any poor sufferer
TO use your excellent Remedy. ] am very
gratefully yours,

The sale of Dr. Pardee's Remedy for the
past three months in Western New York
has exceeded that of any remedy known.
BY cures wholly unprecedented in the his
tory of medicines il has proven its right to
the title of "Tks Greatest Blood PART er'' ever
offered to the afflicted. We challenge any
medicine to show an appreciation at home,
or wherever used, like that :. hich has been
poured upon DR.. Pardee's Remedy.
The permanent cures that il has affected
have made for it reputation that no other
remedy has been able TO attain. Send for

Until they heard tbs cry,

And We remember those. who from afar,
Follow ed Ihe changing glory OF the star
To where its light was shed
Upon the sacred head
And how each trembling, awe-struck worshiper.
Brought gifts OF gold, aud frankincense. and
myrrh.
And spread them on the ground
In reverence profound.
We think what joy it would have been to share
la their high privilege, VINO came to bear
Sweet spice and costly gem
To Christ in Bethlehem
And in that thought We half forget that lie
Is wheresoe 'cr We seek him earnestly;
still hliing every place
with sweet, Astounding grace.
And though IN garments Of the flesh. as then,
No more he walks this sinful earth with men,
