YEARS OF TORTURE.
Relief at Hand Had He only Known Where
to Look For 1t.

Let us, my good friends, always suit our
tools to the work to be done. We do not
trim our nails with broadswords or carve
statues with adzes. Now word is a tool,
lust as a hoe is, or razor The figure OF
Liberty on a quarter Of dollar is impressed
there by a machine made for the purpose
BY the same token words were inventend t,
imprint thoughts and ideas ON the minds of
others. And every word or expression has
a currency meaning of its own so long rs we
refrain from using them in a slack or careless
way.
Just as the Lord Mayors coach, or ones
own best clothes are not intended for every
little trumpery occasion. so great words
should be reserved till the time comes when
nothing else will do. When a man singes
his whiskers by the slovenly handling of
lighted match we do not rouse up the fire
department
Now the word 'excruciating" is one of the
strongest words in the English language. 1t
tingles with sharp significance as black cats
back snaps with electricity on frosty night.
Only shallow people will take liberties with
this word. In our ordinary talk it does not
come properly into play once n year; and
rightly so. For it alludes to kind of mental
or physical suffering that we desire to avoid
thinking or speaking of. If the root mean
ing of the word ''excruciating" escapes you
for moment look it up in the dictionary. It
is word with pedigree, and its ancestors
have supped with horrors since men began to
make history.
The question then that you and l have to
settle is, whether Mr. Geo. b. Simpson en-
ployed this dignifed and exclusive word
justi6aby when he said, II was troubled
twelve years with much pain in the small OF
my back. So continuous was it that ceased
to take pleasure in work. Indeed 1 ceased to
take pleasure altogether. With me life got
to be thing to endure, not to enjoy, L am
speaking within bonds when l say that at
times these pains were excruciating.
with the pains in my back l suffered
from terrible periodic headaches and pro-
found mental depression. l was a prey to
anxiety and apprehension, the cause of which
was unable to locate or understand Yet to
look at me you would hardly have fancied
my true condition. Sometimes when appear
ing at my DeSU anu TeCelNlhS tHo COH6i"Iui"-
tions of my friends on what they were
pleased to call my obvious improvement,
still felt wretched and miserable. But no
body sympathized with me- IsuppOse it was
because l was not emaciated or run down as
persons with dangerous diseases are com
monty supposed to be.
while on this point, may perhaps be
permitted to say that affections of the kid
neys, even Bright's disease itself, often Co
exist with generally healthy external ap
pearance on the part of the patient. The
poor fellow may be within few weeks of his
death and yet to the uninstructed eye look
we'll enough to pass for sound man.
