George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P: 2. p, Lippman's Great
Kennedy, cured him OF catarrll. facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years OF intense suffering. The pain
lay IN his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side Of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Gould only open his mouth wide enough
TO admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation OF the best phvsi-
cans IN Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried T. p. P. He says he is well and
WILL swear that there are no cases OF
neuralgia catarrll and rheumatism
no matter how chronic or how old the
eases are, that p. P. P. will not make

Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med

Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very

Tonic giving him dose every two
hours. | called in our family doctor
and told him what I was doing. He
said it was the right treatment and ad-
vised that I continue It. He called
again the next day and saw the effect
of the Tonic and gave nothing himself.
Within a week my father was able to
walk about the house.
l persuaded him to take second

Oath OF last June, he has today taken a

London, there would be widespread in

Durham Sam.
Each day brings :idings of some sud
den death. Now it is girl, young and
fair, whose life promised felicity
Again some decrepit man, who saw the
infant years of the century. Together
they go, young and old, with reluctance
or indifference, all into the dimness OF
the shadows.
"Llfe Is but the gates of DEATH" says
Emerson What more? death is
the development of higher life." A
divine analogy, indeed. From death
comes life. The rose that gave the
wlthered petal to the autumn zephyr
will bloom Tagain. The inarticulate
music of loves sweet smile, frozen upon
an ivory mask, will tremble again on
lips and eyes of senslbility.
And man-God's noblest work-lays
down a ruined organism to acquire a
nature adapted to the tullness of per-
feet life. This thought leads to the tri-
exclamation of Paul: 'Oh,
grave, where is thy victory oh, death
where is thy sting" Welcome, Death
Thrice welcome, Life

s'The makers OF our Constitution, in
structcd by the experience. of the Colo

British history, found an easy agree

three Articles of the Constitution:
Article !. All Legislative powers

gress of the United States.
Article 2. The Executive power
shall be vested IN a President of the
United States of America.
Article 3. The Judicial power of
the United States shall be vested In

rior Courts as the Congress may from

powers Of Government IN this country
are divided between the Nation and the
States upon the principle that certain
powers are set off to the United States,
and all other powers, save few that
are prohibited, are retained by the
States. The Constitution enumerates
the powers which the people have Civ

of the United States is, therefore, such
power of a judicial nature as the Con-
