Trustworthy
Remedies.

The market is flooded with patent
medicines, some of which are not only
worthless but actually dangerous. This
has become so well known that many
people fail to discriminate between the
preparations that have undisputed merit
and those which are deleterious. AS
the ordinary buyer has no means of
knowing except by experience this con-
dition is not to be wondered at. We
know which are good and which are not
we know exactly what each remedy is
good for and will be glad to have you
utilize our experience. Any of the
remedies named below we can safely
assure you are reliable. In the case of
oar own preparations we want to return
your money if they ever fail to give sat

The Bible a Language Maker.

Henry Rutherford Elliott recites the
following interesting fact In the Gen.
tury:
The bible societies by no means rest
contented with their present horizons
of conquest. Both the London and
New York societies are very much en-
gagged upon translation and revisions,
and missionaries throughout the world
are busy with similar tasks. In scores
of instances the bible is only the liter
ature of Il language. Often lang
uage is first reduced TO a literary form
in order to produce a bible. often al
so the bible actually creates lang
uage. in the proper sense OF that term
The ideas, the topics of thought. the
point of view are not In the local
speech. Take as an example, the
translation just made for the Sneetswa
tribe in East Africa. They had no
word for Supreme Being, or home,
father. heaven. house. and other ideas
equally fundamental. our Father
which art In heaven was absolutely
unintelligible to them. Yet, little by
little. the missionaries persevered till
they have now compiled dictionary of
$4,000 words, grammar, and trans
lation OF the New testament that can
be used by 100000 people.
other recent translations have been
into Mare tone of the French 10y
atty islands) Uganda. Persian. Labra-
dor Eskimo, Kongo Baldo. Murray is
land (Torres straits), Wedan (New
Guinea), Fang, Madarese (South Ma
laysia), Nogogu (New Hebrides), etc.
That much work still remains to be
done. however, appears from the
statement that In the borders of the
Indian Empire alone, l0S languages,
in use by 100000 souls, have as yet
no version Of the scriptures. Trans
lations and revisions are now going
forward in over 100 languages.

Daniel Webster on the Bible.

Daniel Webster was not profess
sing Christian, but he placed the high
est value on the bible. Concerning 1t
he said: IF we abide by the princi-
pies taught in the bible, our country
will go on prospering, but IL we and
our posterity neglect its instructions
and authority, no man can tell now
sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm
us, and bury all our glory in profound
obsecurity."
Again he said: Il have read 1t
through many times. l now make q
practice of going through 1t once a
year. It is book Of all others for
lawyers and divines, and pity the
man who cannot find in it a rich sup
ply of thought and rules for conduct.
From the time at my mothers feet. or
on my fathers knee first learned to
lisp verses from the sacred writings,
they have been my daily and vigilant
contemplation. II there be anything
in my style or thought to be com
mended, the credit is due to my kind
parents for instilling into my mind an
early love Of the scriptures"

An Unintentional Present.

Congressman Perkins was In the
Office of a friend, a justice of the
peace. when a couple came In to be
married. After the ceremony the JUS
tice accepted a modest fee, and handed
the bride an umbrella as she went out.
Mr.. Perkins looked on gravely, and
asked:
DO you always do that, Charles?'
DO what? Marry them? Oh, yes"
Mo- mean bestow a present upon
the bride"
"A present? Why, wasn't that her
umbrella?" gasped the justice.
mo 1t was mine," replied the con-
gresham sadly.

A Verdict for $4,000,

Paul Pankhurst, the BrodLead lad
whose foot was cut off by mistake of
surgeons in an operation several
years ago, secured verdict OF $40 900
against Drs. Sutherland and Nuzum
of Brodhead last Tuesday in the cir
cult court at GAINESVILLE. The lad was
suffering from diseased foot and the
attending physician decided that an
operation would be necessary in which
the diseased member should be ampu-
tated. The patient was placed upon
the operating table and put under the
influence of chloroform and the opera
ton performed. When he returned to
consciousness he cried out to his
mother.
"Why, mamma, they have cut off
my good foot and left the bad one.
The doctors had made mistake aud
amputated the lads good foot, leav-
ing him worse than before. The par
ents retained Attorney John l.. Fisher
of Janesville, brought suit for dam
ages and last Tuesday verdict for
$40, 900 was secured.
