Another Child Cured

Ahoskie, n. c., Jan. IA, 1901.
Mrs. Joe Person.
Allow me to express my gratitude to
you for the wonderful cure your Remedy
made on my little baby girl. Some eight
months ago she was afflicted with scEle
blood impurity, which resulted in raw
sores and scabs on her face and feet,
which troubled her severely for y months,
more or less, After trying different
remedies and four physicians without any
permanent relief, by chance ] saw one Of
your papers and read some of your testi-
monials l decided to try your Remedy.
After using it short while, she began
to improve. When she had taken two
bottles of it the sores were entirely heal
ed, and now she seems to be entirely well,
l consider your Remedy one of tile very
best blood purifiers on the market; also
one of the best medicines for teething
children. Yours very truly,
MRS. A. G. BAZEMORE.

A bad memory is sometimes great
convenience. II we would cultivate
one in some respects we should be
saved lots Of worry. We should remem-
Der to pay our debts, to be true to our
promises, to attend to our duties. We
should forget little Sights. Perhaps
they were not intended, and if they
were, forgetting them is the best re-
venge we can take on one holding
such animosity. Remembering such
things adds to their Importance. 1t
widens the breach in a good UNDER
standing with our mel ghbor, instead
of bridging it over. Forget it. Have
p)easantness instead of opposite.
Persistent good nature will have its
influence. We should forget the faults
and short comings OF Others far as we
may. Bear i'll mind their good deeds,
the work accomplished, the worthy
traits Of character. Do not forget to
give credit where merited, hut forget
the failings. 1t we overlook what we
may, and let others feel they have our
good will and opinion, it will lead
them to be more worthy of it. Stor-
ing up in our minds q memory of
injuries makes us less trustful, less
generous, less happy, and sours our
dispositions. Cultivate a reasonable
forgetfulness and we shall be happier
and in time have less to forget.

A gentleman once said to a reporter
II never took paper that did not
pay me more than l did for it. One
time an old friend OF mine started n
paper and subscribed just to encour-
age him, and after while it published
a notice that an administrator had an
order to sell lot at public auction
So l inquired about the lot and told
my friend to run it up to $50. He
bid it in for 81 and I sold it in month
from that for 800 so l made $93 clear
by taking that paper. My father told
me that when he was young man
he saw a notice in paper that a
school teacher was wanted off in a
distant country, and he went there
and got the situation and little girl
was sent to him and after a while
grew up sweet and pretty and he
married her. Now if he hadn't taken
that paper what would have become
of me? would have been some other
fellow or maybe wouldn't have been
at ALL"

"The light of experience, like the
stern light Of ship, Eliminates only
the past" IL The traditional custom
OF taking a retrospective view is value
able only as it inspiles a hopeful per-
spective. We are living in an age Of
unprecedented activity. We are
actors now on the stage.o OF human
life and progress. The lights are
turned on and the orchestra is playing.
The most wonderful history that the
world has ever known is accumu at
ing around us day and night. The
dead past has long ago buried its dead,
and we have no more use for it than
any other corpse. Epitaphs are not
the best diet for healthy minds. We
cannot alter the past; no alchemy can
transmute the foul into fair in the
history OF years that have vanished.
But it is in the power of each one by
finding and fulfilling his allotted task,
to- make better future by forseein g
