June.

All May there has been whispering in the treesl
Of changes that would make this old world new:
Sweet rumors-brought by birds who futter
through
The year ahead of s1rnmer-that the breeze
Would kiss the buds TO odorous mysteries
OF may petals and undreamed of hue.
Lo, as June comes tthe gossip birds spoke trueD
At every step great roses brush her knees
June is maid whose virgin eyes shine clear
With truth and innocence; who sees her knows
She is nor child nor woman, yet so near
To both that each might claim the grace she
shows.
Most Ike her dearest flower she doth appear,
A half unfolded. thirty petaled rose.

the victim of parents who believe In
such cure-alls, was taken Ill the other

determined on one line of treatment.
The mother was certain that a totally
different treatmelA was necessary.
They discussed and disputed the mat
ter all one evening, and the next day
agreed that both treatments should be
tried. In the morning the child takes
the fathers medicine, In the evening
she takes the mothers dose. And at

AMOR pangers ofthe "Grip.y

Boston papers facetiously remark that
GA Grippe" is seldom fatal unless you
use all the remedies recommended for 1t.
They are correct. The writer fully be-
lieves that the end OF the poor grip" vic
tim, If he tried all the patent medicines
that have adorned ~ the pages OF our
leading newspapers as "sure cures for La
prippen would be like Mark Twain, who
| Tor his famous cold tried every remedy
advised by friends until his stomach be-
came so weak he began to vOm1t and con-
tinued until he AYERS she was like TO
throw up his immortal soul" We notice
one of the leading advertisers OF the day
has been conspicuous at this opportune
time by the absence of any claim to cure
the grip They certainly deserve a
chrome and we feel like giving them a
free ad for their compassion upon our
readers. The more 50 for the reason that
probaDly more people have used their
remedy, that good old family medicine,
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment for this
foreign influenza, than all others combin-
ed. And why not? Certainly no other
will relieve catarrhal colds, coughs, bron-
chial troubles, or neuralgia pains as
promptly as that same old Anodyne Lini-
ment and the above are all symptoms or
results OF la grip. Herein lies the real az
ter dangers from this epidemic OF infiu-
enza: il leaves the mucous membrane lin
ings OF the nose, throat and bronchial /
tubes tender and very susceptible TO the |
catarrh, bronchial troubles and pneumo-
mia " hich come with February and March |
in our northern climates. We shall still /
pin our faith to a remedy for this after |
danger which acts promptly to allay in
tammatioa; for therein lies the chief l
dangers from throat and lung troubles.
And surely remedy that has the friends
that Johnson's Anodyne Eminent has,
after so years trial BY critical public,
and has been used for the grip more ex-
than all the advertised reme-
dies, deserves, as we said, medal and
has before it we hope a prosperous year
