really loved. 1t is hardly necessary to
say why. There is only one enemy of
mankind that can SO completely blast
the brightest hopes aud wreck the
strongest human career. In the pioneer
days 1t was common for men to drink.
The saloon was place OF general re-
sort. There are few men ia q gen.
GRAFTON who may drink more or less all
their lives, perhaps, and not 20 to
destruction. John used to tell his
friends that he could drink or let it
alone. A splendid physical specimen,
capable Of drinking glass after glass
without apparent effect, it did seem
that If any man could fool with whiskey
with minimum of peril he was the
man, but we shall ever remember the
night when John told us with culver
ing voice and with tears streaming
down his face that he had made q
great mistake-that he found himself
in the remOrseless clutches of the
demon OF drink. He joined the blue
ribbon movement In 1878 and tried 10
be faithful, but fell. He promised to
quit many times, and tried to do it,
but the fangs of the monster held him
fast. He took the gold cure three or
four times, out never to be free. What
man John Smith might have been!
a writer gifted as are only very few
in generation, and in newspaper.
making armed at all points. Men
readily paid tribute to his genius aud
acknowledged the mastery of his
superior intellect. While yet in the
POS he had reached commanding
position, and unfettered by appetite
must have won supremacy. What he
would that his noble boys should be he
might have forcefully directed. O.
men, men, you who feel strong eoough
to seek the companionship OF whiskey
and save yourselves from perils which
overwhelm the best and strongest

J. c. Berry, one Of the best known
citizens Of Spencer, Mo-, testifies that
he cured himself Of the worst kind OF
piles by using q few boxes OF DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve. He had been
troubled with piles for over thirty
years and had used many different
kinds of so-called cures; but DeWitt's
was the one that did the work and he
will verify this statement If any o1e
wishes to write him.
