Sickness

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify the blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous ailments
which are SO prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating in the blood all
winter, and right now is the time
to get rid of them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fy the system, toning up and
strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now are
comparatively safe all summer;
but to neglect it is to invite some
form of sickness which is so COM
mon during the trying hot season.
1t is now that course of Swift's
Specific

NO FRIEND LIKE THE OLD FRIEND.

There is no friend like the old friend to mako
the fond heart bleed
When he meets you with supercilious air
And his glancing eye assures you that he
knows you're gone to seed
Ana It's no more use for him to treat you
fair.
Oh, his fine affected tone
As he talks with you alone
And the patronizing cadence of his voice,
For the fool can scarce construe
The subjective strength in you
OF ne would not SO pretentiously rejoice.
There is no friend like the old friend to make
the fond heart sad
As.he turns away his head to see you not,
Forgetting all the favors from your hands that
he has had
Ills SO rich to cut you dead upon the spot.
Oh, his blank and stony glare.
Shot straight up into the air
And the digniaed demeanor of his backi
All, fool. beyond the days
OF his hypocritic praise,
Now dark Nemesis to call upon his track!
There 10 no friend like the old friend to make
the heart rejoice
When he grabs your toll hard hand and hugs
1t tight,
The odd ring and the true ring in his we'll se-
membered voice,
While his eyes are filed with manifest de.
light,
For he greets you with shout,
Stimulation all left out,
A hearty friend. lifelong friend, pure
gold,
And he holds you long and late
With force as strong as fate
The bond of faithful friendship grand and
old.
There is no friend like the old friend to t.riye
dull cere away,
To lift the laden breast and make it stout.
Like burst Of summer sunshine his presence
glads the day
And puts the DEVILS blue to utter rout,
For what's the odds to him
II your prospects yet are dim
And the binding Of your vest is worn and
frayed?
Like a rock he stands by you
With friendship warm and true
And a faithful sense of honor unbetrayed

1t is related of a certain clergyman in

OF plagiarism that once, in addressing
