Mrs. Virginia Frazier, 2026 Maryland
avenue, who is 36 years of age and the
mother of three children, says:
"For years I suffered great pains
in my back and sides. My bladder
gave me lot of trouble, even to the
extent of a surgical operation, and
that without any hopeful results. 1
had indigestion and shortness of
breath, and a bloated feeling in my
stomach which caused unbearable
agonies.
"It seems marvellous to me now to
think, after suffering all these years,
that the use of the very first bottle
of McDonald's Crystalline Extracts of
Herbs should bring such a gratifying
change in my feelings! 1t was almost
unbelievable! The backaches and
pains disappeared, the action of my
bladder became normal. I resigned
my normal and healthy appetite. My
digestion is now so perfect that can
not say in words what this wonderful
medicine has done for me. 1 hope
everyone who suffers as I did will
try McDonald's Crystalline Extracts
of Herbs. I want you to convince
yourself of its great good, as l did"
Mrs. Frazier is just one of thou
sands who tell the same story about
McDonald's Crystalline Extracts of
Herbs. They have all found it to be
a powerful reconstructive laxative
tonic. You, too, will find it extreme
ly beneficial, particularly if you are
chronic sufferer with constipation,
hadeaches, biliousness, dyspepsia,
chills, colds, stomach troubles and
any other common causes of physical
discomfort. Buy a bottle of Crys
talene today,-feel better tomorrow,
for it's for your health's sake.-Adv.

Springtide Renewal

ITO THOSE who love to watch
the changing seasons. the
d dawning of springtime in the
fields and woods and even along the
city streets, is ever new. Each re-
turning year one welcomes signs Of
earth's awakening-theb bursting leaf
buds, joyous bird songs, the delicate
unfolding of the first wild flowers
Surely this overcoming miracle OF
spring has some significance of per-
manent value to those who love to
watch it.
Once a woman sat by her kitchen
window burdened with the languor
and WEAKNESS which she had Deen
accustomed to associate with the
spring season. Outside, in her little
garden, song sparrow perched on
the fence, and the air was filled with
his CHEEKY song. Lilacs were in bud
and delicate shoots of grass were
springing up. Suddenly she remem-
bered the words of the Psalmist
Psalms 104:SO), "Thou renewest
the face of the earth" Thou renew.
est" she thought, as she watched the
signs of joyful awakening before her.
Then she realized that she herself
needed spiritual renewal, and that in
order to experience that renewal, she
only needed to turn to God, who is
the source of all life. She only need
ed to realize that her strength, vigor,
and vitality depended upon Him, and
rot on times and seasons. The words
of the prophet Isaiah (40:31), "They
tina. wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength" came to her with a
deeper significance, and she found
herself suddenly rejoicing in ner
freedom from pain and WEAKNESS.
1t is related of the prophet Moses
that he was IAN hundred and twenty
years old when he died: his eye was
not dim, nor his natural force&batad
deuteronomy 34:7). AS the seasons
come and go, the human so-called
mind is apt to measure life by their
passing. But Christian Science re-
veals that mans life is not measured
by the turning of the earth on its
axis, nor by it's revolution around the
sun, for God is Life, and man reflects
Life, because he is the image and
likeness of God. AS this scientific

fact OF being is understood, men will
enjoy better health and longer life.
In Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Up. 246) Mary Baker
Eddy writes, Except for the error of
measuring and limiting all that IS
good and beautiful, man would enjoy
more than threescore years and ten
and still maintain his vigor, fresh
ness, and promise"
The renewal of strength which re-
suits from a scientific waiting upon
the Lord can be experienced at any
time and at any season. 1t is not de-
pendent on time or circumstance,
but upon the understanding of he

ence
Mrs. Eddy also writes (ibid, p.
246). LET us then shape our views
of existence into loneliness, freshness,
and continuity, rather than into age
and blight" Are We sorrowfully look
ing forward to "age and blight, or
are we expecting every day a renewal
of LONELINESS, freshness, and CONT
nuity"? Are We companioning with
these latter thoughts. or are we fear
ing the dark shadows of age and
decay?
If our work seems burdensome and
the day drags YEARLY, it is we'll to
remind ourselves of the divine prom
Use that "they that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary:
and they shall walk, and not faint"
This promise is available now, at the
present moment. We can avail our
selves now of the ever-presence Of
divine Life, Truth, and Love. If the
need is for more energy, that need is
supplied through the understanding
that God, divine Mind, is the source
of all strength and activity. If to nu-
man sense the need is for rest, there
are green pastures" prepared for
