Does II Pay !?

Three-fourths Of our people are
troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has a
depressing influence on the mind or
body, preventing them from thinking
or acting clearly in any matter of i'm
portance- Indigestion, coming up of
food after eating, dyspepsia, sick head
ache, acidity of the stomach or any
arrangement of the stomach or liver
upon which the whole action of our
system depends) are speedily and eff
fectually overcome by tho use of
Green's august Fyoacer. The most
stubborn cases have yielded to its in
fuence, as thousands of letters receiv-
ed will testify. The immense sale of
this medicine is another guarantee of
its merits, lover million and half
bottles sold last Year, So we ask,
will it pay you to suffer from any of
the above diseases when you can have
immediate relief in the August .Fzow-
er. Three doses will prove it's worth.
1t is sold by all druggists and general
dealers in all parts of the world.

A local tobacconist tells the Brook
Ign Union that cigarettes in bundles
cost but half a cent apiece. He says !:
This, in itself, is sufficient proof that
cigarettes are made out of common
material. and cheap things are bad.
Some people imagine that gum OPT
um is used in cigarettes, but this is
mistake, as that drug cost Sc a
pound, which would be too expen-
sive. The white paper is bleached
by an arsenical preparation, and that
is poisonous enough, Heaven knows.
Cigarettes ought to be stamped out
of existence, for they are sapping the
life out of our young men Johnny
Morrissey, the son of the ex-Con-
gresham was killed by excessive
cigarette smoking, and the youth of
the land are falling by the wayside
day after day. More pernicious pas
sion does not exist than the love for
tobacco rolled up in this shape. The
cifiarette habit means death and de-
struction to those who become we'd
ded to the fatal habit.

The philosophical historian, who
looks below the mere pomp and show
of public life to its deep and abiding
forces, will characterize the move
ment which has given the children of
the greatest republic on earth the
spiritual and moral training so essen
tial to free government, but which
the State could no longer give with
out interfering with the freedom of
conscience; the movement which gave
us moral vigor for the first century of
our national life; the movement which
is quietly gathering over seven mil
lion children in the United States to-
gether from week to week, and pre-
pairing them to shape the destiny of
the twentieth century-the philosoph-
ical historian will characterize such q
movement, not as the mere proselyt-
ing appendage of the Church, but as
the very crown OF our national edu-
cation.-J. ". Buslyord, PHI. d., IN
