Help But DON'T Coerce.

To help nature in its efforts to throw off
the trammels of disease is, of course, the
legitimate method of medication. This
method is, unfortunately, too often
diverged from and help perverted
into coercion. Drastic, excessive
purging is undoubtedly the most
frequent form of coercion of this
sort. The bowels are forced, literally
wrenched into action. OF course this is
accompanied with much gripping pain,
and succeeded by exhaustion, whiL h
leaves the organs of evacuation in state
incompatible with subsequent regularity
and activity. The last state of that man
or woman who uses drastic cathartics for
constipation is decidedly worse than the
first. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
finest laxative in existence, since it pro-
duces the needful but no abnormal action.
IS progressive, not abrupt in operation,
and strengthens instead of weakening the
organs upon which it acts. Use it for
malarial, kidney, rheumatic and dyspep-
tic ailments.

JOHN GREENLEAF wHITTIER.l
Between the gates of birth and death
An Ola and sanity pilgrim passed,
With look OF one who witnesseth
The long-sought goal at last.
30, thou whose reverent feet have found
Inc Masters footprints in thy way,
ana walked thereon as holy ground,
a boon of thee pray.
'shy lack would borrow thy excess,
MY ieeble faith the strength of thine;
need thy SOULS white saintliness
To hide the stains of mine.
"The grace and favor else denied
May well be granted for thy saken
so, tempted, doubling, sorely tried,
a younger pilgrim spake.
"Ihy prayer, my son, transcends my gift;
No power is mine, !" the sage replied,
"The burden Of q soul to lift,
Or stain of sin to hide.
"Howe'er the outward life may seem,
For pardoning grace we all must pray,
NO man ms brother can redeem
Or souls ransom pay.
"Not always age is growth of good:
Its years have losses with their gain:
Against some evil youth withstood
It's hands may strive in vain.
with deeper voice than any speech
OF mortal man to man,
What earth's unwisdom may not teach
The spirit only can.
"Make thou that holy Guide thine own.
And, following where ii leads the way,
The known shall lapse in the unknown
AS twilight into day.
"The best of earth shall still remain.
And heavens eternal years shall prove
1hat life and death, and JOY and pain
Are ministers of Love-"
