I'VeLOStFaith in Human Nature

This is very common expression.
The trouble is that people are weak.
They sacrifice future happiness to
what they fancy is present gain.
1t causes them distress, anxiety and
annoyance, but they do not think of
that.
Human nature is all right.
When a man is weak he falls down
and someone suffers thererom.
The thing to do is to see that your
neighbor is helped and that he is kept
in a condition OF good health.
When this IS done there is no trouble
with him.
A strong man will take care of him
self and assist Others
If man has dyspepsia he is weak.
No matter how moral man he may
be, he is weak.
If such one will take the Laxative
Gum Drops he will be relieved OF his
burden.
These gum drops act gently and
quietly. They do not distress one, but
they act upon the digestion, restoring
it to its normal condition.

RING OUT The OLD.

Why should we Sing the old songs?
They have been sung before;
Why not MARBLE the new songs,
Since life has no set score?
Why should we sing the old songs?
Surely our voices change;
Would not the Joyous new songs
Suit their time tuned range?
Why should we sing the OLD songs
OF a life no more to be?
Better TO sing the new songs
