Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take interenal remedies. Halls CatarIh
Cure Is taken internally. and acts di-
rectly on tie blood and mucous surfaces.

"REMINISCENCES OF A NoNAeENARIAN

l was born in Trenton, N. Y, 10 miles
north of Utica. l am of New England de-
scent. My grandfather, Revolutionary
soldier lived to the age of 104 years. l
had the pleasure of hearing him tell of the
many incidents of that sanguinary period.
l may say that l am the only person liv-
ing who was conversant with his grand
father of the Revolution of 1776. 1 was
born January 26, 1916, during the admins
tration of James Madison, forty years after
the Declaration of Independence, and am
now so years old 1 was a born sceptic
At an early age l asked my mother ques-
tons that she could not answer, who re-
ferred them to her pastor, who in turn held
me to task, saying l was too young to in
vestigate questions of such moment. Later
in life, l came across a work by George
Combe, Scotchman, on the constitution of
man, one of the best works in the English
language at that time. l then became a
Universalist. Still later, and upon reaching
Thomas Paines age of Reason" discard
ed the Bible as very illiterate work of
feeble minds. At the present time l have
no evidence of life after this mortal coil
shall have ceased to exist and If there is
a great Arbter of human events and des-
TIMES, he is in very poor business, al
lowing the elements to destroy both good
and bad without discrimination. Any good
man would do better. Now in my 93rd
year, according to the inevitable laws of
nature, l must soon lay down my life. I
am more pursuaded than ever that we are
only a higher order of animals, that we
are begotten and born and die as they.
and that the mind or soul cannot exist
aside from matter; that mind is not an
entity. 1t cannot be seen, felt or con-
ceived outside of matter.
All religious theories are the invention of
man, and while all are not true there are
none quite true.
The views and tactics of all religious
denominations have changed very much in
the last so years. The Methodists per-
haps more than any other. When l was a
youth the Methodists made their first ap-
pearance in our neighborhood. Men and
women dressed in Quaker garb Men wore
drab suits and hats; coats cutaway, some
times called "shad-bellied." Women dis
carded all furbelows. No curls, no bows no
adornments of any kind. They plated their
hair smoothly, wore bonnet of drab, plain
quaker style. No steeples to their churches.
The men were very boisterous in exclam-

laluJaS etc., all through the mouse.
Every member kneit at prayer time and
loud EXPLANATIONS were the order of exer-
cises. No amen corners. Amens were pro-
miscuous At Camp Meetings, which are
among by-gone days, men and women had
what was called the power" They fell
in state of apparent Inconsistencies and
remained so for long time. Prayer, sing
ing and many commissions were the order
of day or night.
All this has changed The Methodists
are more like other denominations. The
brothers wear the usual garb of men of the
world and the sisters dress in all the fash
ions OF the world and their churches have
steeples. You can't designate a Methodist
on the street now from a man of the
world.
Other denominations have also changed,
but not to so great an extent as the Meth
odists. Infant baptism is not so much
practiced and infant damnation is entirely
lost sight of. When 1 was youth the first
Evangelist or exhorter in protracted meet
ings for the conversion of sinners was in
augurated in our neighborhood by the
forwards established the Oberlin Institute
in Ohio He was tall, commanding figure.
with a stentorian voice; was of the Pres
byterian faith and exercised no little con-
troll over the passions of the more sensi-
tive men and women. His EXPLANATIONS
were Hell and damnation without reserve"
In those days churches of the Foreordin-
ofiD Nd nd Of ha iov,
order were at swords points. So bitter
that they would hardly speak to each other
on the street Also the Free Will and
close communion Baptists were antagonis
tic. Things have changed. Churches are
more liberal, more conciliating. l find
there are many in the churches as well as
out who do not contend for the tenets of
the church. And men out of the church
who are intelligent and well informed do
not adhere to the doctrines of any church,
are liberal in their views and do not advo-
cate them because they are UNPOPULAR.
Many public men, like Roosevelt, are
more liberal than they dare proclaim. They
are what might be called hypocrites A
man who has liberal sentiments in mind
and does not acknowledge or proclaim
them is an arrant hypocrite. The world
is full of them but a man on the verge of
life who has no AK to grind can afford to
be honest

. until he, in order to cater to public senti-

speaking of the much reverenced Thomas
Paine. Because of that unjust remark I
have lost faith in the President.

Upon the occasion of celebration of
his 92d birthday anniversary, Mr.. Rockwell
was asked by the Editor of the Kentucky
Post, what he thought of life. Mr. Rock
wells reply, as published at the time, was:
II have been asked: what do you
think of life after 92 years?"
Il can only think for myself; not for
others. My life has been optimistic-look
ing on the bright side of the world. We
are only a higher order of animals. We
are not accountable to any higher source
than our fellow-man.
"Two-thirds of the world are ignorant
of high state of morals, therefore on a
level with animals. Animals have minds, or
what is called SOUL Mind cannot exist
outside of the mortal part Of man or prop
erly matter. Spirit does not exist; 1t is
intangible cannot be seen, felt or imagined
-incorporeal When the body dies the
mind or soul becomes extinct. We are here
without controlling power. No intelligent,

allow suffering to human beings of his own
creation. Omnipotence is not human

upon life only as we see it here. We have
no higher authority than what we behold
in everyday life. When lie down for my
eight hours rest of night it is indiffer-
ent with me whether it is eight hours or
an eternal sleep One-third of our life is
spent in sleep, which is only a harbinger
or nrocurcor of afarua1 reSt Nothing
repellant or doleful as we have no regrets
of our time of rest. Much more desirable
than haven of bliss, which cannot be bliss
without the mutual society of loving friends,
a part of whom may not be acceptable in
such haven. Life is but dream which
vanishes when we lay it down. What we
don't know we have no right to believe, and
we know but little. We know much more
