Mans Heritage.
A Peculiar Blessing Handed Down
From Heaven to the Children
of Men.

In the beginning before God created
mankind, He prepared for his coming
Natures storehouse was abundantly
filled with all mans needs-in sickness
and in health-for God knew to what
his fall would lead, and accordingly pre-
pared, in mercy, the herbs, roots and
barks, after several kinds and endowed
Man with wisdom to find therein a boon
for all the ills to which the human flesh
might fall heir, through transgression
In after years a man went forth to
search and God rewarded his efforts by
revealing to him the ingredients TO pre-
pare the formula of what today stands
pre-eminently at the head of all other
remedies in its class; hereditary blood
diseases-scrofula. eczema, etc, vanlshes
before the sweep of its mastery curative
properties; Indigestion, chills, fever, ma
larial poison, rheumatism, govt, and
similar diseases likewise perish and re-
turn no more to the system when this
great remedy is used. Then too it never
fails to cure cancer in its worst form.
You will agree with us when we tell
you to what we refer, for like the writer,
The map of the civilized world is dotted
here and there with grateful humanity
who are ever ready to sing its praise and
attest to its merits: we speak of Natures
gift to humanity-Mrs. Joe Person 5

Dewey made mistake in the first
place in taking the house, but he has
done nothing TO warrant the abuse and
violent criticism to which he has been
subjected Grant sold the house given
to him and the money was lost. Nobody
tried to make his life unbearable. 1t
was supposed that, having given him
the house, the donors were willing for
him to do with it what best contributed
TO his comfort and interest. Dewey may
have Numbered. He is a brave sailor
who deserves the lasting gratitude OF
the American people, and it is mon
strous that his private affairs should
have been seized upon to make his life
miserable. There is a suspicion that
some of McKinley's fool friends took adj
vantage Of the incident to injnre Dewey
in popular estimation.
