 Gaod Health and Hanninass


 Good Health and Happiness.
 Secretary Windom in his last speech deliv- cred in New York city before the leading financial men of this country said "that poi son in the blood permeates arteries, veins, nerves, brain and head and speedily brings paralysis and death" he but issued warning that should be needed by every poison, old and young. It is impossible for the human body to grow strong and vigorous with dead ly poison lurking there.
 Science has given q corrective in the form of Dr kennedy's Favorite Remedy, which will cleanse the blood of all impurities and restore the weak and debilitated system to health and vigor.
 Mrs Annie Barton, Catskill, Y., says 'it is the best medicine have ever known for purifying the blood for it cured my husband of running ulcers of the leg when skilled phy- sicians failed to do him any good" From the common lace pimple to that most dread ed of all skin diseases, scrofula, it is the mas ter of and will cure the most stubborn cases. Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not new decoction recently put on the market, but an old and tried medicine and is the household remedy ill nearly every home in the Eastern states, tor the cure of kidney and liver com plaint, salt rheum, erysipelas, rheumatism Nlr John k. Stephenson of Albany, N. Y, writes that Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is wonderful medicine and tor sick or bill ious headache or derangement ot the stom- ach, it has no equal on the face of the earth.

President Porter of Yale was not re- markable for eXactness of classical scholarship, nor for verbal accuracy. He said of himself that he had no mem- ory. But he seemed to have always at command the facts which he needed to sometimes approaches pedantry, he im- pressed one as wise and learned man. His insight into character was wonder full He was most kindly in his judg- mept and never wasted breath in de- nouncing W hat he did not approve. But that clear, kind eye could read counten- ances and that quick intelligence could read motives and he understood men. He seemed entirely free from vanity and never to ask how what he was doing more interested in what he was doing, for it's own sake, than for the impression which it would make on others. Some may remember how an eX-President of the United States at Yale dinner once told how he had invited President Por- ter to accept the post of minister to Great Britain. No intimation of such an offer had ever been made public be- fore. Few men better illustrated the value of discretion. Few inculcated more constantly, by example as we'll as by precept, the need of reticence, of not disclosing unripe opinions, than Presi- dent Porter. Few men were the repesi- tories of so many condolences as Presi- dent Porter.-I ICourant.

Persecution cannot hurt us, intidelity cannot weaken us, scientific research can only add another crown to the brow of the Son of Man. But a determination at all costs to succeed, a willingness to yield position and difference to those who are successful-caring nothing for those means by which they have attained success-this is to deny Christ and be- tray our trust. It is to set up modern golden image and to say to it, Thou art my God. The results of such worship are inevitable; they who yield to it, ,how- ever vigorously they may champion the cause of what they choose to conceive as religion, in time must come to be pitt less to man, untrue to themselves and faithless to God.-[Dr Rainsford.
