A GUOD STORY.

Even ministers are sometimes merely
human and are suhject to the same pas
sions which make common people do ri
diculous things. A good story is told of
DR.. Newman Hall of London. which we
do not remember to have seen in print.
1t has had quite an extensive private cir
culation, having gone from mouth to
mouth in quiet way, and has excited
merriment whenever told. Dr.. Hall is,
as is well known in religions circles, the
author Of the tract Come to Jesus the
circulation of which by the tract society
has been simply enormous, the copies
printed running up beyond the hundreds
very severe criticisms has been passed
upon him on account of of his words or
conduct, and he became greatly excited
over them and replied, or rather wrote
a repley replete with sarcasm and bit.
terness, and carried it to DR.. Binney of
London (since dead, for suggestion or
approval. DIR. Hall read it, bringing out
the bitter things with peculiar emphasis,
and when he had finished he said:
Well, DR.. Bnney, how do you like it?
Oh, was the careful reply, l think 1t
is remarkably well written, and there
are many sharp and bitter things in it.
By the way, Hall, have you fixed upon
title for it as YETI
No, have not. replied Hall. Perhaps
you can assist me in that matter.
Then DR.. Binney said slowly and de-
Iioerate: While you were reading some
of these hard hits it occurred to me that
this would be good title, Go to the
Devil by the author of Come to Jesus.
1t is needless to say that the hot tenn
pered manuscript was never printed
indeed, the story goes that it was torn
up in DIR. Binney's study.

Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-purifier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparsbly
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to healthful
condition.
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent OF the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out OF order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some i'm
purity OF the blood manifest but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
OF Ayers Sarsaparilla
Frederick W. Pratt, 424 Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was Frustrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William F. Bowker, Erie, Pa, was
cured Of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with viru.
lent malignant skin disease. All ordinary RENE
dies failing, we called our family physician, who
attempted to cure it, but it spread with almost
incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little fellows person frpm the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly. pain.
full botches, and malicious. We had no rest al
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were told
so try the Cuticura Remedies. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks com
pee cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow S
person as white and healthy as though he never
had been attacked. In md opinion your valuable
remedies saved his life, and today he is a strong,
healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of the
disease having ever occurred.
