Asks Us to Print II.

To relieve the worst forms Of Rheu-
matism, take teaspOOnful Of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
i'm a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in a Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clOgged-up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
rheumatism.
As rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe Will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily. or even few times a
week. would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tsm.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
Nv relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
YOU need it, you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make The
mixture ready TO take, if any OF oul
readers so prefer.

Influence of Happy Childhood.

The memory Of early happiness is a
treasure-house Of sweet comforts. Its
pure, simple, earnest joys become wells
to draw from whenever we sit down in
thirst and WEAKNESS by the dusty
highway Of life. or this one good the
world can never defraud US. The sun
shine in those days reaches across our
little stretch Of life, and mingles its
rays with those that beam from the
hea, en- Of our hope. The actual pres
ent Of the adult life, and the materials
which enter into it, are made up, more
than we generally suppose, Of remin-
iscence. We ruminate like the kline.
We lay up in the receptacles Of MEM
DRY abundance Of undigested material
that we recall and appropriate to our
refreshment and nourishment; and
this process Of Renaissance, Of living
over again, grows upon us rs we grow
into years, until at last it becomes our
all. Exhausted power has no resource
but TO dwell upon its old play and its
old achievements. How sad he is
who can never go back to his child
hood without shudder. Who can
never recall a period when his life was
filed with sweet and simple satisfac-
ton. When a kind and loving mother
read aloud to the family the Home
Circle department from the columns OF
the favOrite paper.

SeIi.DeDendenCe.

Many an unwise parent works hard,
and lives spalingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it Is
called. Setting a young man aiioat
with money left him by his relatives,
is like tying bladder under the arms
Of one who cannot swim; ten chances
to one he will lose the bladder and 90 to
the bottom. Teach him to swim and
he will not need the bladder. Give
your child a good education. See TO
il that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature made
subservient to the laws which govern
man, and you will have given what
will be Of more value than the wealth
Of the Indies. You have given him q
start which no misfortune can deprive
him Of. The earlier you teach him to
depend upon his own resources and
the blessings Of God, the better.
