FROM WASAINGTON

In speaking of the sudden deaths
that have lately taken place in public
life, Congressman Daniel Lockwood
said: "Our grandfathers had family
remedies which seemed to preserve
health and prolong life, and it would
appear as if some modern scientific
preparation should be found that
would answer the same purpose. Now,
I think that if there is such a remedy it
certainly is Warmers Safe Cure. I
know of great many people who use
it constantly, and / have in mind one
gentleman connected with the Govern
ment Printing Office here who, togeth-
er with his wife, has had occasion to
be exceedingly grateful for the re-
stored health and strength gained BY
the use Of Warmers Safe Cure"

Madam; 1t gives me great pleasure
to testify to the merits Of your wonder

your remedy trial, my leg was badly

physicians, was very much swollen, and

bone. | could wear no other than low

4 SWEET YOUNG FACE.

Along the noisy city ways
And in this rafting city car,
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jar
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without.
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine cleaned little while
Across the darkness of the storm.
I did not care to seek her name.
/ only said, God bless thy life,
Thy sweet young grace be still the
same,
Or happy maid or happy wife"
