Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases Of the nasal mucous membrane
the remedy used must be Eon-irritant. The
medical profession has been slow TO learn this.
Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders, syringes, astringents,
or any similar applications because they are all
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the affected
surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who have for
years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh
can infict testify to radical and permanent cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

AnAssuranes toHea1tb

Among the assurances of health af-
forded US by the regular discharge of
the bodily functions, none is more i'm
portant and reliable than that which
regularity of the bowels gives us. If
there is anv--even q temporary inter-
ruption of this-the liver and the stom-
ach suffer conjointly with inactive Or
gans, and still greater mischief ensues if
relief is not speedily obtained. A Taxa
tive above all caVil on the score of min
eral composition or violent effect, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, approved
by the medical profession, and most
important item of the family materia
medica of American households. 1t is
botanic, painless in action, and if per-
sisted in, effectual. The stomach and
liver, in no less degree and no less
promptly and thoroughly than the bow
els, are regulated and toned by 1t. and
it is an admirable defense against ma
larial and rheumatic ailments, and q
benign remedy for kidney complaints,
nervousness and debility.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-05-27
Political Preaching.

How many times do we hear the cry
from really good and sensible people,
"You must not take politics into the
pulpit" There never was more alb
surd cry. Politics is the science OF
government, and the pulpit should be
the most powerful factor IN placing
great moral issues before the people.
The better the work of the churches,
the more clearly will the issue be de-
fined, and the stronger will the people
rally to the side of reform.
AS study this great question involv-
ing the destruction, morally as well as
financially, of thousands of men and
women, but ore verdict can be reached
this Christian church must come to
the trout, and help Ged put down the
saloon curse which now threatens the
lie of every institution in our land.
There are over q million voters who are
members OF Christian churches. These
hold the Balance of power. If this
forcs was unified, we could sweep the
curse from our land and Christ's king
dom would go grsndly on.
The st. Louis Christian Advocate
says: Temperance 10 not political.
but q moral question" A truer state
ment is, it is both political and moral
Because it is moral, it comes under the
jurisdiction of the pulpit, and it is the
duty of the minister to keep the subject
before the people.
The Princeton Review gays: PRO
bibition stands as q civil measure on
the same level as the tariff bill or
free trade, and is as mnch out of place
in the pulpit or church rs discussion
On the fur trade would be-" How alb
surd! The question of tariff does not
affect the morals of our people, while
the open saloon is a menace to every
church and home in the land. To what
straits are men driven to save or defend
party? During the prohibition cam
paign in Texas, an ex-senator said:
Let Us whip The preachers back into
their pulpits." He found it could not
be done. Preachers are beginning to
realize that the world is their field.
They believe that every department OF
human affairs should be brought under
domination of Christian truths. The
secular press, too, has all a. once be-
come very pious. 1t deplores political
preaching, and talks of fanatics. How
dreadful! 1t would be well for at least
the Republican press to remember how
