LITTLE MABEL CULVER.
Once we hada lamb by its mothers side.
1t was artoss and pure and mild
The one dear lamb in our little flock
Was the sweet little blueeyed child.
But Shepherd came as the sun grew bright,
BY path that has long been trod,
And carried our lamb, through the mist of morn,
To his fold in the Mount of God
With fearful eye and bleeding heart
We must bear 1t and struggle on.
Must climb the Mount by the Shepherds track,
To the fold where our lamb has gone.

A Large Majority

of people at this season of the year suffer
from that painful disease rheumatism. Its
cause, Tactic acid in the blood, can be
wholly eliminated by taking one or two

sense a cure for heart disease that deadly
follower of rheumatism, and the various
forms of stomach, liver and kidney troubles,
that make life miserable. 1t is invaluable.
