BROTHERHOOD.

Dear brother, let me hold thy hand,
And let me speak my heart to thee,
For all the beauty Of the land,
And all the wonder of the sea,
Are hideous TO my soul i'll
Am doomed TO dream alone and die.
Men are the feeble links that make
The strong, enduring chain of race;
Thus am stronger for thy sake,
And for the sake of those who grace
My life and ali my life has known
With something sweeter of their own.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases 81 the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shownby slight tickling sensation in
the thIo and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death
At the onset you must act with promptness;
allowing cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. AS
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
