life-maintainng organs are apt to succumo 70
disease.
The way to maintain good health Is to begin
at the root of the trouble and cure the cause.
Make your blood pure, your nerves strong and
you will find that every organ of the body will
perform its function as it should, and return
to health is inevitable.
Women, specially, are subject to certain dis
orders that make 1t necessary for them to pay
particular attention to their health. Blood
troubles, in many instances, are the cause of
these disorders, and should be promptly treated,
no matter whether they have been inherited, or
contracted in after life.
The following is very interesting letter,
coming to us from q Maine woman, which will
explain itself
"AUBrRN, Me-, Jan. Is, 1898.

and tried everything which they thought would

good results. At last they told me that nothing
short of an operation would do in my case,
thing which l dreaded as much as death itself

If other women, who are dragging themselves
/ through life, feeling miserable and detected,
would but try Smiths Green Mountain Reno
vator before giving up-hope, there would be
much more happiness, and vastly less amount
of illness in the world
The great advantage Of Smith s Green Noun
tain Renovator over other remedies is that it is
vegetable in its composition, harmless in its &C
ton, though quick and sure. Forty years OF
success is sufficient proof of the merits of this
remedy, which was originally discovered and
prescribed by famous doctor.

reminders of Ancient Rome. We have
seen during the past few days, the well
of the Woman of Samaria, the slab of
stone on which the Roman soldiers cast
lots for Christ's vestments, the tomb Of
st Matthew, the place where the heads
of Peter and Paul are preserved, the
cradle Of the Child Jesus, and an image
Of Him covered with jewels and gold.

some would say that we were reckless in
buying so many but we know that when

The Methodist churches in the country
districts, belonging to this conference,
either closed their doors, or were content
with prayer and praise service, last
week on Sunday, as the preachers in
charge were in attendance at the meet
ing of conference, held with the church
at Mt Vernon, N. Y. This one Sunday
in the conference year, is claimed by the
ministers as their own, and they take the
opportunity to either earn an extra dol
lar or two, by preaching for some other
church, or becoming listeners them
selves. It ia stated in some of the pa
pers that have reported the doings of the
gathering at Mt Vernon, that the statis-
tics presented show harvest of con-
verts, for the past year, averaging little
more than one for each minister in the
conference.
