He Might Have Escaped Any Day

There was once q man who, on &C.
count OF his religious convictions,
was arrested by q despotic govern
ment aud thrown into prison. Look
ing at the strong stone walls that
shut him In, he naturally concluded
that he must spend the rest Of his
days in this lonely and dismal place.
Yet wretched ss the prospect was,
there was some comfort in the
thought that he was a victim OF op.

ment as a violator Of any good and
righteous law. All the same he
would have been glad to get out, as
he had right to do IL he could.
| Nevertheless there he stayed and
languished for sixteen years. At
nearly the end Of that period IL oc.
CURED To him one day TO climb up
on q projecting stone in the wall
aud take peep through the window
above his head. He did so, and found
the iron bars removable and the sash
not fastened. An idea struck him,
Of course. Why not escape? He
opened the window, jumped six feet
to the ground, and left that district
immediately. He might have done
so at any time during his protracted
occupancy Of the place, IL he had
only been blessed with q more in
quiring mind and not taken so much
for granted.
Now here comes an incident both
like and unlike that OF the martyr;
like II because there was loss OF free
action, unlike Il because tho sufferer
was not imprisoned as he was.
The story is in the form OF a let
ter, one OF those letters we all pre-

short words. The writer, a lady,

| We congratulate Mrs. Ward upon
her deliverance from a dist ressing
and dangerous disease. What a pity
she did not sooner learn how easily
and certainly she could be cured.
Sixteen years is too large slice out
OF ones life to be spent in bodily
and mental misery. Very few of us
can have wealth in any case, but
health should be a blessing common
and universal as sunshine. And il

preserve it when they possess it, or
to regain il when lost. This lady's
disease WAS OF the digestive organs
indigestion and dyspcpsia-the
most affective and perilous of all
because it involves every function of
the body, scattering its poison at
every point through the medium OF
the blood. Nearly all ailments are
but the differently named results
and symptoms OF this prolific parent
OF evil. That the remedy she men
