A MINISTER'S WARNING.


Men and women are being driven to
destruction, he says. through excesses in
work and living.-Fearful picture OF a
midnight scene in millionaires house
hold.-Riches unable to brighten a
wretched life.
There are few men in America who
are SO well-known as DIR. Talmage Of
the Brooklyn Tabernacle. He weekly
addresses, through the newspapers,
nearly 10000, 900 people, who are i'm
pressed by what he says, because il is
the result of continuous observation and
deep study.
DR.. Talmage has again and again
called attention to danger that
menaces every man and woman in this
country. In a recent sermon he once
more repeats those words of warning.
In speaking of the evils of over-work in
business or social duties he says:
"Oh, what an altar. what sacrifice
of body, mind and SOUL The physical
health of great multitude is flung ON
this sacrificial altar. They cannot
sleep, and they take chloral and NOR
phine and intoxicants.
'Some Of them struggle in a night
mare of stocks, and at one o'clock in
the morning, suddenly rise up shouting,
"A thousand shares of railroad stock
one hundred and eight and half; take
it, until the whole family is affrighted,
and the spectators fall back on their
pillows and sleep until they are awak-
ened again by conner or rise in
something else. Their nerves gone,
and their brain gone, they die"
AT first thought the description seems
overdrawn. But is it? Are we not too
active, too intense? Do we not exhaust
too rapidly? Do we get the pleasure out
of life that we should? Is there not
some means by which we can make life
easier Thinking that the statements
made by DIR. Talmage merited investi-
CATION reliable reporter has collected
the following live facts which will be
found OF great interest. Mr.. 4. w. Whit
ing, well known in connection with tel
ephones, when told Of the remark made
by DIR. Talmage, said:
Yes, we do live too rapidly. We
succeed and accumulate wealth, but we
exhaust ourselves in doing it. The aver
age American spends the first half of
his life in acquiring wealth and losing
health, and in the last half he spends
his wealth to regain his health. i know
this from my own experience. The

i believe all Americans can do the same
thing regardless of the climate, compe-
tition or social demands If they will act

Mr.. T.. +. Lawrence, the banker and
member Of the New York Stock Ex-
change, when approached upon this sub
ject said: "Any one who has ever been

In addition to working hard they recreate

per1ence, that Warmers Safe Cure is an
excellent tonic"
r. G. A. Harvey, ID. D., Washington,
ID. c., cheerfully made the following
statement 81 take pleasure in stat
ing that / have for many years been
acquainted with the well-known War
ners Safe Cure, and with it's remarka-
bic curative effects. In some cases of
sickness which seem to be in the last
stages, and which had been given up by
practitioners of botr-schoCls, the speedy
change wrought by this remedy seemed |
but little less than miraculous"

With these plain truths in mind will
you neglect the " minister's warning?"
