Harsh Physic Cause Distressing

You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-

emergency cases. Ordinary pills, Ca

more harm than good. They cause

We personally recommend and

for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues Of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction,
and we urge all in need of such medi-

it should mean. VIII he give to her,
and the family that may result from
the marriage, what husband and faith
er ought to give? And she should ask
herself, conlprehensively. what it will
mean to her in the sum total, and the
final analysis, to go with this man,
to have her life bound up with his.
Where will it lead her?
After pressing these questions eff
fectiyely. Mr.. Potter said that he
would make spiritual use of the
story and these questions. In this
aspect he would have the parties to
this search, leading up to this ques-
ton, be representative. Abraham
might stand for God; the servant for
the Holy Spirit. seeking bride for
the Son. Isaac, for Jesus Christ, de-.
string bride; and humanity would
be represented by Rebekah, hearing
the question, wilt thou go with this
man ?''-wilt thou accept the invita-
ton of Jesus Christ, and link your life
with his in marriage for time and
eternity?
Very tenderly and beautifully the
idea was worked out, and the ques-
lions which had been suggested as
well for a woman to ask in connec-
tion with marriage, were transposed
to the new Connection, and answered
to show that Jesus Christ met every
requirement, perfectly.
AS to his character there was on
Him no slightest strain OF fault or
failure. AS to the relationships into
which he would bring one, they were
of the best and choicest. AS to the
provision which he would make for
all needs, the promises, and the GER
tainties, were full and free. AS to
the result of it all, life would have
protection all along the way, and
be brought safe to the very end. Safe
conduct through all the journey, and
heaven at the last were the certain
ties for every one who. when hear
ing the question, wilt thou go with
Jesus Christi" would answer as did
Rebekah, 81 will 60
