Once the Veil Hn. Been Lifted

If one desires to understand the life
of the best character, he must trace it
away from the great cities. crossing
monotonous plains until he comes to
some lonely spot among the everlasting
hills 1t is there he will find the spring
from which life begins, and. standing
there, he will understand after what
fashion the man believes, hopes, works
and reasons. No doubt the stream will
be re-enforced from many quarters,
from literature, from art. from science,
but the stream will also keep on its
way. cutting through many rocky OBJ
stacle, and to the very end it will carry
with it some Of the freshness and color
Of its origin. Great lives have mostly
begun in some single moment, when
the veil was lifted. revealing the things
which are unseen and eternal Once the
veil has been lifted and the man has
seen. you can trust that in his future
life nothing can discourage that man
again. for nothing can overcome him
who has once seen God.-Ian Maclaren.

question, and " lille may bring storm Of

our life is not what we make ii. Mind
you, do not say that the lie We live Will

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been made and that too, by lady in this country ' Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven. years she withstood its se- yerest tests. but her vital organs were un- dermined and death seemed imminent For three months she coughed necessarily, and could not sleep. She finally dscov- cred way to recovery, by purchasing of ns bottle of Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose. that she slept all night and with two bottles has been ab- soiutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes w. c. Hammick tS Co.,. of Shelby. N. C. Trial bottles free at J. H. Duravant x Co.'S. Regular size soc and Sl. Every bottle guaranteed.
The Forrest City times., 1899-05-12

Nothing could be fairer, more philan- thropic, or carry more joy to the afflicted, than the offer of T. A. Slocunl, Nj, C., of 1S3 Pearl street, New York City.
 Confident that he has discovered an ab. solute cure for consumption and all pull monary complaints, and to make its great merits known. he will send, free. three bottles of medicine to any reader of THE FORREST CITY TIMES who is suffering from chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles or consumption.
 Already this new scientific course of medicine " has permanently cured thou sands of apparently hopeless cases.
 The Doctor considers it his religious duty--a duty which he owes to humanity ito donate his infaliible cure.
 r. Offered freely, is enough to commend it., and more so is the perfect confidence of the great chemist making the proposition.
 He has proved the dreaded~consumption to be curable disease beyond any doubt.
 There will be no mistake In sending- the mistake will be in overlooking the generous invitation. He has on file in his American and European laboratories testimonials of experience from those cured. in all parts of the world.
 Don't delay until it is too late. Address T. A. Sloeum, NJ. C., 9S Pine street. New York, and when wrfting the Doctor, please give express and postoffce address, and mention reading this article in TIE TlMEs.
