HEALTH AND SPIRITS
Are Restored by Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills in Gases of Debility and

General debility is caused by men
tai or physical overwork with imper-
feet assimilation of nouriSnment, or
by some acute disease from which
the vital forces have been Frustrated
and the entire organism weakened SO
as not to easily rally. To restore
health it is necessary that the blood
should be purified and made new.
The case of Mrs. E. M. Spears, of
90 Mt. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass,
is a common one and is given here in
order that others may be benefited by
her experience. She says: 81 had been
sick for a year from indigestion and
general debility brought on by over
work and worry. l mad tried many
remedies, but found no relief. l suf-
fered from swelling of the limbs, loss
of appetite and dizzy spells, which be-
came so severe towards night, that l

severe pains at the base of my head
and in my back. My blood was i'm

The Moral Obligation.

the SLfpetS.
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why it is right that the country people
spend their money at home is the mo-
raj obligation.
The town is yours, yours to ruin or
prosper. The same sense of obligation
should prompt you to support it, as
prompted our old Teutonic ancestors
in the forest of Germany to stand
elbow to elbow in protection of their
village. The same spirit of loyalty
should inspire o as fired the High
land Scot to spend his blood for the
welfare of his clan.
The country town with all it's faults
is the best governed, most enlightened,
most moral n happiest spot in
American civilization. 1t is a good
safe place. Not too swift. nor yet too
slow. In touch with the current of
progress, but not raciW with greed.
The place from which come nearly all
the great business men, lawyers. schoi-
arS, preachers. physicians. The place
where men are n%eighborly and help
! full.
This town, my farmer friends, 10
yours. But the city belongs to the
mail order houses and the devil. With
its corrupt government, it's overflow
of population. and its vice, the great
city is the menace of our morals and
our liberties.
The city, like the dragon, swallows
the vast throngs of country boys and
girls that flock into it, and by and by
when health and virtue and hope are
gone, Spews them out to die in want,
or wander as derelicts over the face
Of the earth.
And don't you see, my friend, that
when you take the money from the
country town, you destroy the chance
of success there, and the boys and
girls will follow where you have sent
The money!
This town of yours was founded on
faith, on the faith in the customs OF
men for hundreds of years to trade
at the nearest town. These merchants
and carpenters, masc.ls and editors
are your neighbors. They have grown
up amongst others like you.
They have put their all in a little
business, money time and hope.
Around the corner there is a little cot
tage, and the wife and the baby--it
may be your grandbaby-wait; and
there is a smile of happiness when
business is good" but the troubled
look ONE when business is poor.
They are struggling to live, and pay
for the little home, and by and by
educate the children. They are your
n%eighbors and friends, no your enc
mics. They work hard-you scarcely
realize how hard-and are not living
high. They have pinned their faith
to the town-your town.
Their success of failure is in your
hands. For your trade they will give
you good returns, and all will prosper
together. If you withdraw your trade,
failure must follow. Some poor strug-
gler must &C down facing bankruptcy.
The light must go out of some wom-
ans eye, and hardship be laid up for
the child.
Even If you could save a little by
sending your patronage to the city, do
you not think it the fair thing, the
Just thing, the right thing. to trade at
the little home town with those you
know, those whose prosperity and
happiness are in your hands?
For 1t is written. Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself."-Wiliam H.
Handy, editor OF Marceline. Mo-, Jour
nal, in January Western Publisher.

stantly harping on baptism. A brother
that longed for a rest handed him a
text he thought safe, The way of the
tranSgressor is hard"
Friends" says the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First, the transgressor.
Second. his conversion. Third, mis-
baptism. We will pass over the first

Many reasons why people should
