Drs. Downing & Co. have proven
that long standing diseases can surely
he cured by the new treatment. They
have demonstrated that the science of
medicine is advancing with other
sciences That diseases and deforni-
ties which few years ago were looked
upon as incurable, respond readily to
modern scientific treatment. In COM
parison to the old methods which are
generally practised, the Downing
Treatment indeed, seems little less
than marvellous. A person who has
suffered for years with some disease
which makes life burden, who has
consulted many physicians and taken
their medicine, has also taken innumer-
able patent nostrums and medicines,
without getting any substantial or last
ing benefit becomes discouraged and
believes his condition incurable. When
such person is, in short time, few
months, or few weeks, restored to
health and vigor, and can again enjoy
the sweetest pleasure of life he almost
believes his restoration was miracle

The first rose Of summer with greeting
send thee my darling tonight
To tell thee this heart Is still beating
For thee love, though out of my sight.
I've kissed its soft leaves as "a token
10 blush on thy bosom of snow,
Though all other ties may be broken,
There's one that still lives on you know.
And If in some moment unheeding,
That flower touch those sweet lips Of
thine,
oh think of that heart you left bleeding,
Remember those petals touched mine,
cannot forget thee, no never.
Though roses will fade with the day,
The fragrance they shed will still ever
Float over the place where they lay.
And so If loves fire ever kindles,
If Cupid shoots straight at the heart,
That fire shall still live though it dwindles
1t only wants fuel to start.
And still for thee shall be,
When roses do shed their waiting por.

Whenever the wild birds are mating,
When Spring into Summer shall bloom.
