An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emf.

cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns Iron

by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove That the theory is correct.

and the number of empty Cherry Pectoral

home of my own, and had childish
ailments to attend to, it still proved

me. SO long as I had a bottle of Ayers

Her trembling features with stricken
smile;
'And when these cold winds pass the days

So, soon the fallen work was reinspected.
Small children's frocks and socks of every

The trifling task, the duty long neglected,
Was taken up and done and put away.
But when each market eve drew near its
resting,
She wandered desolate. into the town,
Where laden fathers laughed, with children
jesting.
The great tears rose again and trickled
down.
Sometimes voice, with something Of the
sweetness
OF his dear tones, would vibrate through
the heat:
Outlines step, with something of the
f1eetness
OF his dear feet would echo in the street.
And at the step or tone, the little city,
The flare of lamps, the light jest and the

pity.
In silence trod the phantom multitude,
But, with her fingers clinch'd and pulses
burning,
She pass'd along in agonized desoaIr,
The soul within her eyes alive with yearn-
ing,
To see again a face that was not there!
Each cottage room seem'd to be waiting
daily
His sure approach: and when the sun
was kind,
When in the lanes the bonny birds sang
gaily.
She watch'd to see his shadow pass the
blind.

To be her blessings and enrich her days
No shadows fell on them from her swee,

Kind words and actions glorified their
ways.
But while her soul grew greater for the

Through sacrifice and gain, through fame
and frost,
Through each long hour Of every day OF
living,
Its hunger strengthened for the love il
lost!

A Cufe Pronhet.

A man who had lost a leg. witnessing
some wonderful cures said to have been
performed by Mormon preachers, Joined
that sect in the hope Of getting healed.
The preachers referred him to Young
as the only prophet among them cap
able of treating such cases as his. So of
to Salt Lake City he went and presented
himself before Young. The Mormon
leader was equal to the emergency. He
assured the man he could cause another
limb to come in place of the lost mem
Der, but called his attention to the fact
that he had but a few years yet to I've.
while there was an eternity beyond the
grave. "And if now give you another
Leg" said the prophet. you will not
only have this one when you get to

She was much frightened but noticed that
IN intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her hearts action became normal.
Reasoning correctly that her digestion was
alone at fault she procured the proper med
lclne to treat that trouble and with imme-
daate good results. Her appetite came back,
finally ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her blood soon
became pure and her cheeks rosy.
