LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID

v =. over the fair name Of friend OF
foe
The shadow Of disgrace shall fall;
instead
Or words of blame, or proof of thus
and 30,
Let something good be said.
Forget moi tibet no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek OF shame with tears ia
wet,
II something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul 80
dead
But may awaken strong and gloriied
If something good be said.
And SO I charge ye BY the thorny
crown,
And by the cross upon which the
Saviour bled,
And by your own souls hope of fair
renown,
Let something good be said.

CAT ARRfI

Catarrl has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary TO speak OF Catarri
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes 30.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts OF the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they DO
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. 5. 5.
