FGentlemen:
Twenty-three years ago I was attack
ed with infammatory rheumatism, I
was attended by the most eminent ply
sicians in the land. visited the great
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, and the noted
Hot Springs, Of Arkansas, and many
otner watering places, and always con-
suited the local physician for direction;
finally returned to Florida ten years
ago.
About two years ago I had severe
attack of rheumatism, and was confined d
to my room for twelve weeks, and dur
ing that time I was induced to try
P P P, knowing that each ingredient
was good for impurities OF the blood.
After using two small bottles was re-
lieyed; at four different times since I
have had slight attacks, and I have
each time taken two small bottles and
have been relieved each time. | con-
slider it the best medicine of its kind.
Respectfully.

\ Good arden is both Health and Money

That good garden is half living,
and good living at that, seems to be
the idea with most of our town people.
Everywhere preparations seem to he
going on, with the view of making
something to eat in the garden. That
is praiseworthy, and foretelIs plenty Of
nutritious vegetables, without which
the table is scant, and the stomach in
want. Spade deep and pulveri:e the
soil well, and keep down the grass by
timely cultivation, and every citizen
will have a treasure both OF health and
MONEY in his garden.

WI WOi HCn'
MY Mother, on this day of Thy transition
Sweet memories cluster around the
past,
OFT do | remember Thy sweet benedic-
ton:
Would that such could ALWAYS last,
Thy tender love, all sacrificing,
Ieildiug all unto Thy wayward son.
Sweet Mother influence, all purifying!
At last Thy counsel has surely won.
lis thlrty-sPNrn years ago this day,
Since Thou went out to seek the Light
Then but a mischicvous lad, wild at play:
But ROW my locks gleam silvery white.
Little then did know a Mothers love,
Thy W,iseltish and tender solici,ude;
And now from Thy Spirit home above,
Thou watched over me in my solitude
o. Mother-lOve, of God divuely gwen,
No earthly barrier can prevent its free
expression,
1t reaches e'en TO he'll, from highest
Heaven,
To save chi!d suffering for the Laws
traHgrDSsiou.
Now in my manhood's full, Tlpe years,
I've not forgotten Thy great deep love:
And when sore trials have brought the
teas;
I've longed for Thee and sweet rest
above.
