As, next to peace, we profit most from pain"

TOO good for free-born American citizens
and the pursuit of joy and peace, as the
constituent of happiness, is one Of the in

immortal Declaration Of Independence.
Mr.. Henry L. Weed Of Belfast, Me-, has
had exceptional success in the pursuit of
that without which, in general, neither en-
joyment nor happiness is possible-good
health. He is young man who, for thir-
tern years, had been afflicted with rheums-
tism, indigestion, and cough, which last
was so constant and troublesome, particu-
lsrly since severe attack of La Grippe,
that he was apprehensive of con-
sumption-two members of his fam
lily having died of that disease. He
suffered almost constantly from rheuma-
tism. which particularly affected his right
foot. to such an extent that he was fire.
quently unable to work for days and even
weeks at time. He had been treated by
many regular physicians and had expended
large amount Of money for various popu-
lar patent medicines without receiving any
benefit from either. He says:
Saturday evening, Jan. %, last, nv
right foot was 50 swollen and painful that
could hardly stand upon it; and, on the
recommendation Of Mr.. X. II. Moody.
druggist, of Belfast, bought of him one
bottle each Of Rodolfs Discovery and
Emulsion and commenced their use.
Within "a hours the swelling had suhsid-
ed and the pain ceased, and I have not

work.
He said "ln our country as elsewhere
the question of dealing with the liquor traf-
fic has become the greatest question of the
day. For many years this topic has been
vigorously agitated.
AT the session of the Dominion Parlia-
ment last year many thousands OF people
petitioned that body to enact national pro-
hibitory law.
Instead OF this, Parliament by resolu-
ton created a royal commission to look
into the whole question of the liquor traffic
IN all its effects; moral, social, CONNER
clai' financial and upon the revenues, and
to investigate the various systems of deal
ing with it in the provinces OF Canada and
elsewhere. In fact our commission gives
us the right to visit any part of the world.
1--WE began our work in March, 1892,
and have been steadily at it ever since then
carrying out the mandate OF Parliament.
1--WE have been all over our own coun-
try and have investigated the various sys-
TENS IN vogue there OF high license and
local option In the different provinces.
1--WE have been in Kansas and Iowa
studying prohibition, to Minnesota, Ne
~
into the high license system. We have
come to Maine to continue the
subject OF prohibition. We Lave
spent week IN Portland and have taken
lots OF evidence. We will spend couple
OF days here' leaving on the morning train
for Bangor. From there we go to Lewis
ton and some OF the small places, then to
New Hampshire and Vermont to complete
the prohloition method OF dealing with the
traffic. We next visit Massachusetts to
study the operations OF the local option
law and lastly to Philadelphia to study the
workings OF the Brooks high license law.
After that comes the hardest part of
our work. We will go back to Canada and
will have to tabulate the statistics we have
gathered, draw conclusions from them, and
report to Parliament. We hope to get
through in time to report to the next
session which will be early in January,
1894.
