star, ami another star rushiug down the sky
that night to beckon it home again. All
that scene will yet make all nations keep
Christmas. Now, are there not some new
lessons couiinj from this ell story? Lessons
not hackneyed by olt repeated? Oil, yes.
Notice, first of all, it was a sidereal appearance.
Lo, the star went before them. W hy
not a black cloud in the shape of a hand or a
finger pointing down to the saared birthplat
e? . Ob, a cloud means trouble. The
world had had trouble enough. Why not a
shaft of lightning quiveriug in the sky and
striking down to the sacred birthplao?
Lightning means destruction?writhing, allconsuming
destruction, and the world bad
bad destruction enough. It was a star.
.. tlhat means joy, that means good cheer, that
means hope, that means ascendancy. A
Start That means creative power, for did
not the morning stars sing together when
the portfolio of worlds was opened! A star!
That means defence, for did not the stars in
their course fight against Sisera and for the
Lord's people r A star! That means brilliant
Continuance, for are not I lie righteous to shine
as the stars forever and ever? Day-star on
high. Morning star of the Redeemer. That
tmusual appearance in the sky that night
^ may have been a strauge conjunction of
worlds. You know astronomers calculated
long years before it occurred the transit of
Venus, and they can seo a thousands years
head and can tell you what will be the conjunction
of worlds in the year 1980. and so
they can calculate backward, and Christian
astronomers go into a calculation and they
find that in what we call the year one there
was a strange appearance in the Heavens;
and the iniidel, rejecting the Bible and despising
Christianity, he goes into the same
calculatiou; and be is compelled to declare
that in the year oue there was a strange appearance
iu the Heavens. The Chinese record,
made up, of course, eutire;y independent of
Word of God. declares that in what we
call the year one, there wus a strange appearance
in the Heavens. That, after
all, it may have been a meteoric
appearanco, such as you and I have
sometimes witnessed, I stood on the plain
and I saw in tiie western heavens, some
years ago, a meteor flash with such brilliancy
and precision that I thought then that if
1 had been on a hill as high as thatof Bethlehem
I could have calt-nLited within a few
yards the place where it alighted. In the
University of Iowa ami in the British Museum
there are fragments of rock that have
been hurled otT from meteors as they weut
trailing their glory on the sky. So it does
sot seem to me at all improbable, this sidereal,
'/ or, if you will, this meteoric appearance on
that Christmas night. Oh 1 am so glad that
it was not a cloud of threat but a star of
hope that shone that night. I do not wonder
l that the dying collegi student when he
A caught a gfimpse of that stir, took his pen,
and the light seemed dishing from his finf
gers and the star seemed souring its lustre
f from his lips while Kirk^Vhite wrote those
immortal words:
When marshaled on the lightly plain,
fe The glittering hi>st bestul the sky;
One star iilone of all the trim
Could fix the sinner's waidering oye.
Hark, hark to Cod, the cho-us breaks
From every host, from ev?ry gem;
But one alone the Saviour s>eaks,
It is the siar of Bethlehem
Once on the raging sea 1 roiV,
The storm was loud, the mrht was dark,
And rudely blew the wind tlat tossed
My foundering bark.
Deep low within my vitals fnze
Death struck 1 t ca-m the tde to stem,
Wheu suddenly a star arose,
It was the star of Brthlehen.
Pormln nrosorrv thai Kirk "Yhite died af

to have written it, and u* wonder wheu

I notice also in that rene that other worlds
seemed to adore our La\l tind Master. Bright
star of night, wheel ouin thine orbit. "No,"
raj's the star, "I must come nearer, I rau^t
bend, 1 must wat -h to.ee what they will do
with Jesus." Anotlie world in worship.
That star bowed in nbdieuce. I sometimes
hear people talk as tho-gh the few thousand
Miles of this wor d of tins were all of the
Kavior's dominion: butl suppose all the mil1
lions and billions and qiadrillions of worldi

,r cut I notice also in this science that I have
spoken of the fact that it wai the profound
tad the learned nieu of the world who came
to Christ TUe Bible says th? wise nieu or
the East. We call them the magi, the astrologers,
the alchemists, and xe pronounce
their names with a depreciating accentuation
Do you kuow wh> they were) They
were the most splendid and magnificent men
of the century. They knew all that was
known. Do you not recognize the fact that
astrology is the mother of astronomy f Do
you not recognize the fact that alchemy is
the mother of chemistry! And you do not
despise the mothor because you admire the
child. Why these astrologers spent their
lives in studying the stars; 2;35?) years before
Christ was born these astrologers studied
the procession of the equinox and calculated
the orbit and return of the comets. Professor
Smith says he thinks they understood the
distance between the sun and the e.%rth. V ou
find not only that in Job, but you Uave suggested
to you tiiat other men in his clay '.knew
t.iat the world was not llut, but globular?
Isaiah knew it; as though it were a mcderjn discovery,
or within a few centuries, that the
world is round. Isaiah knew it. He says of
fe"?God: "He sittcth on the circle of the eai\th."
After the world has progressed in study liuudreds
of years it may get up to the piiut
where the ancients began to forget. I believe
? that the lost arts may be as great as tue lttv*

Daniel Websteij bowed at the manner. So

My subject also impresses me with the fact
that it was thep winter season that God assigned
for the nativity of His Son. Had it
been the month of May, that is the season of
blossoms; had lit been the month of June,
that is the season of roses; had it been the
month of July, that is the season of great
harvests; had it been the month of September,
that is the seasoned of ripened orchards;
had it been llpe month of October, that is
the season of upholstered forests; but it was
December, wh^n all the flowers outdoors are
dead and all thje crops that have not been
gathered are perished, and there are no
ripening fruits] on the hill, and the leaves
are driven ovjer the bare earth. In the
closing days off December, to show that this
Christ is for people in sharp blasts, for people
of frosted hopes,, for people under dark
skies, for peopjle with the thermometer beIcw
zero, for people snowed under. Christ
heard in His memory the wind whistling
around the Be thlehem caravansary, and He
is in sympathy with those who in their poverty
hear the shutters clatter on a cold night.
That was the Christ Washington and his
army worshipped when they lay down without
blankets in the December snow. That was the
Christ that the Pilerim Fathers appealed to
when the Mayjloicer wbarfed at Plymouth
Rock,; and for j-ears after that December
landing the graves digged were more in number
than the blouses built. Not a fair weather
Christ, but a December Christ. Oh, the

derueks put h(jr foot on the rocker of a cradle
to hush a sick child than the teuderness of
this Cihrist comes to our invalid world, and
He rocks it into placidity and quiet with the
words: "My pea.e I give unto you; not as
the World giveth, give I unto you,:' Oh, ye
burden bearers, oh, ve persecuted and tired
and heartbroken, I declare to you a December
Christ.
But here is a fact which many seem to forget,
.perhaps all forget?my subject im- 1
Eresses me with the fact that Christ was
orn amid the sheep, and the cattle, and the
horses, and the camels that He might bo the
alleviation of the whole brute creation.
Mercfy for overdriven, underfed, poorly sheltered,',
outraged brute creation. Do you think
thatithe Christ who compared Himself to
a dc V j has no indignation at the cruelties of
a pi Aon shooting/ Do you think that the '
Chr^ who compared Himself to a lamb has
no indignation at the rough tying and the
contortion of the shoep and the hanging of
theirf neck over the sharp edge of t h e butcher 's
cart,| and the cattle train from Omaha to
New: York, with no water in summer time,
?1,500 miles of agony? Do you think that
the Christ who said: "Go to the anV' does
not notice the transfixed insects? Do you
think that the Christ whose tax was paid by
the fish does not notice the tossing of a fin in
the fish market? Do you think that the
IL. ? ?_ .L.
v_nnsc who taiu: "cenoiu uuo iu?u ui wo
air," bath no sympathy with the brute creation
that cannot articulate its grief? Christ,
born in a stable that He might ba the Savioi^r,
not only of the human race but the
alleviation of all the pangs and hardships
of the brute creation.
Ill the millenial t:me a child is to lead a
lion* and to play with a cocatrice only because
brute and reptile will have no more .
outrages to avenge. The Lamb of God gave
its first bleat amid the tired flocks of Beth- i
lehem. The white horse of eternal victory i
stabled in a barn. When you tread on the J
brute creation you tread on God. Christ '
born amid the beasts that He might sympa* ,
thize with the beasts, and help the beasts, and
thunder His indignation and Hi3 wrath 1
against men who abuse the beasts.
1'noti e also, in this wonderful story of the
text three Christmas presents brought to <
Christ Ju?t three. Gold, myrrh, frankincense.
Gold brought to Christ What does
that mean* It means the affluence of the 1
world is going to be surrendered to Jesus.
For lack of money no more "asylums limping 1
on their way like the invalids they support, '
or feeling theirslow way like the blind whom
they shelter. Millions of dollars for Christ '
there are now thousands of dollars. Rail- i
road companies owned by Christian sto k- ,
holders and controlled by Christian directors
and carrying freights and passengers at
Christian prices. Bank of England, Bourse
of Ft ance and U. S. Treasury, all the world's '
moneyed institutions for Christ The gold
for Christ No other meaning to it The .
gold no more paid the way for J
Mary and Joseph and the divine <
Mptimxk in TT.am-if-. t.Hnn tha frnlrl ehall nnv th?
waybfor Christ ali 'rouud the worlcL * The 1
gold for Christ, the silver for Christ, the (
jewels for Christ Our great round, beau- \
tiful world like a soltaire set on tho bosom
of| Christ. All His, and He is worthy. <
But the second Christmas present was (
th?5 myrrh. Why the myrrh? The cattle
sniffed it, but did not eat it. It >
w^s too bitter. Why the myrrh? Why this j
pulngent gum resin of Abysinnia brought for
Christ? It meant bitterness. Bitterness of 1
betrayal, bitterness of persecution, bitterness
ofl da vs of suffering and nights of anguish.
Mlyrrh. That is what they put into His cup
when He was dying. Myrrn. That i< what
the women wra-'pad in the shroud of the crucified
Christ. Myrrh. Aye, says the psalmist, 1
"till thy garments smell of myrrh." Oh the j
hejighth, the depth, the length, the breadth
of.a Saviour's sorrow. No wonder the wise 1
men brought myrrh. But there was one
otter thing they brought. They shook out
frjom the sack the frankincense. Clear up to 1
Se rafters of the barn the perfume rose and i
floated out to the furthest room, where
ttie hostler and tfie camel drivers were <
placed, and it floated out into the open ,
air, and people passing by that night wondered
and said, who could have broken a box <
of alabaster at that place by accident' Frank- f
incense. That was what they put on the cen- I
8?rs in the ancient temple and burned it. 1
Frankincense. That means worship. Frank- ,
C(>nse. Thivt is what we shake out from our
w>uls this day until the nostrils of Christ ]
0, ice crimsoned with the hemorrhage of the (
ci -o?s are filled with the perfume of a world's
a ioration. Frankincense. That is to fill all ]
tljie homes and all the churches and all the (
nations and all the worlds. From deepest ,
cjellar of stalactite cave clear up to the s-iiver J
mfters of the sunlit dome. Fraukincense. ]
Put it in the song, and the sermon, and the .
arayer. Frankinceuse. No wonder they 1
rought it. No wouder they put it down at |
the ieet of Christ But do you know
now these censers were employed, '
aind how the frankincense was <
Surned? Here is a metal pan, and here is the
andle hv which it is hold. This metal ran
is filled with living coals. On the top of ft is
{|>ut a perforated cover. The frankincense is
N ought to the temple in a s |uaro box. The
frankincense is taken out and sprinkled over j
the toals, and then the perforated cover is
put on, and thev wait for the beginning 1
of the service. When they are all ready j
all the covers are lifted from all tho censers .
and the ancient temple was filled with the
perfume. It floated up am d tho arche?, it i
dropped amid the altars. On the top of the
te'nple it arose in a column to tho throne of 1
God. And so it is to-day. 1 have two <
censers. Hera is the censer of earhtly frankincense
j and here is tho censer of heavenly
frankincense. First of all, the censer of earthly
frankincense. Come, people of God, and
put on ijt your thanks?thanks for the mercies
of the past year, thanks for the mercies
jf all the years?individual mercies, family
merriest national mcr jies. Bring on more
censers.] Then let the perfume float up to
the thrijme ot'Go 1. Alleluia, alleluia. Amen!
But hero is the other censer?the censer of
Heavenly frankiucense. Let all the re- 1
deemed bring their thanks and put them
on thij censer. Let the cherubim bring
theirs, let the seraphim bring theirs, let the
one hi^idred and forty and four thousand
bring lheirs,let all tho eternities bring theirs, .
ani thjjn I take these two censers and Iswing
i I
them before the throne oi God and the
Lamb, and then I clash them together in one
great alleluia unto him to/Aom the wise
men of the East brough^Mieir gold and
myrrh and frankincense.t Ma the star that

The Beer Glass.
This glass, so frequently
seen upon the bar, By the
youth who is tempted to
venture so far, And which
causes rona mothers to shed many a
tear, Is CJlod to the brim with lager
beer. Now the youth who toils
a d d toils all day, And at suns
e t receives his hard - earned
pay, Should never bo tempted to
spe n d it for beer, Just because
it m akes him feel so "jueer. You
must in your childnood shirk
such a foe, And ever be ready
to sp eak the word No; j When
npp r oached by a friend (?) to
"co me, take a drink," Just stop
one short moment and solemnly
tli ink. "Money" is the root
of all evil they say;" The glass
is one branch which toils night and

him to crime, degradation
and shame. Beware of the

The Influence of the Saloon.
"What would be thought of the medical
administration which, in the time of
a great epidemic, concerned itself chiefly
in providing additional hospital accommodations,
and paid no attenti* n to the
origin and mode of prevention of the
prevailing disease? In the case of the
sa'.oon in society the facts are continually
in evidence. Our police courts are mainly
occupied with the petty offenses which
spring directly or indircctly from drink.
Through them drift the myriad wrecks
which strew the path fcf progress. In
them is exhibited, every day and all day,
the extent, depth; paralyzing influence,
of the saloon. It is bad enough in politics,
but its social effects, especially
among the poor, are as those of a pestilence.
The cruder element of the community
is brutalized and retarded in its
growth by this influence. Another ele
Ul^UI)) tUUb V* liUw |/UJ U1VU41J v? Iiwttvw
tually feeble (always considerable, and
increasing with the growth of competitive
pressure), is condemned to a
wretched fate by the same instrumentality.
The people whs have not the energy
of mind or body to form clear and
practical purposes, or to put them in
operation if formed, are the easiest victims
of the saloon. As a rule they are
sensitive, often morbidly so. They
brood over their weakness and their
failure. Naturally prone to depression,
they become jaundiced and desponding.
From that state of mind to the craving
for any kind of stimulant the transition
is natural and swift, and the saloon does
the rest. There are thousands of families
doomed to indigence, disappoint*
ment, misery, through life, that might
have lived at least in decent poverty and
with self-respeet, but to-day are plunged
in hopeless ruin by drink, and are sinking
out of sight in the quicksand.?Atlantic
Monthly.
The Saloon Going.
The saloon is going. Of the seventeen
cities of Massachusetts which held
election last week, thirteen voted "no
license."- Fall River, New Bedford,
Haverhill, Gloucester, Springfield, Waltham,
Northampton, Brockton and Cam
bridge, all 01 wmcn roiea ior license
last year, have this year joined the ranks
of temperance cities. The liquor dealers
of the State are great'y alarmed over
the prospect and are holding secret
meetings to advance their interests.
Their Protective Association has issued
a circular which says: "Immediate and
ictivework is absolutely necessary by
the liquor element of Massachusetts to
fight the enemy." Speaking of the re*
jult of last week's election the Boston
TraiUer Bays: "It is not only in the
highest degree gratifying, but it is decidedly
significcnt of the growth of an
inti-saloon sentiment and a conviction
sn the part of the people that prohibition
can be made to prohibit. It will
sncourage the friends of temperance in
the cities where elections are yet to be
held to make a supreme effort to free the
municipalities of Massachusetts srom the
curse and power of the 6aloon."?Few
York Observer.
Moral Heroism.
A hereditary taint or natural craving
for some stimulaut is no reason to justify
Its inrlii1<Tpnff> rnfclipr t.hr? rnntrarv n_s
illustrated in a morbid desire to steal.
The desire or inclination we may feel to
take what does not belong to us is the
best possible reason why we should be
Dn our guard to resist the first impulse in
that direction. Natural inclinations are
often our worst enemies when they aro
allowed to dominate our lives. All our
aatural susceptibilities are to be watched
and dreaded like so many Hods in our
path, or infectious diseases, to which
sur bodies arc liable when we arc unprotected,
or willfully go where these
diseases arc prevalent. To have a holy
horror for the poisonous effects of alcoholic
beverages in the stomach is the
best guarantee that we are secure from
the allurements of the gilded saloon, and
the fatal efTects of alcoholic poison to
carry us down to a drunkard's doom.?
DemoreU.
The Alternative.
"We have seen that the progress of civ
mzation brings men into more intimate
relations, that closer contact quickens
activity, that increased activity refines
:he nervous system, and that a highly
nervous organization invites intemperance
and at the same time renders its dcHructive
results swifter aud more fatal.
Thus the very progress of civili/ation
renders men the easier victims of intemperance.
We have also seen that under
regulation the liquor traffic increases
much m;>re rapidly than the population.
I lie alternative, then, seems simple, clear,
certain, that civilization must cither destroy
the liquor traffic or be destroyed by
it.?Our Cuuntry.

in a gulch in the Boston Mountains,
and surrounded by a clearing of
many acres in extent, from which he has
earned a living for his wife and nine
children?seven sons and two daughters.
All these children grew up, h*it
only one son is living and only be
and the two daughters are beneath
the old roof-tree which sheltered
them in infancy. For more than half a
century Case has dwelt in this mountain
retreat. The nearest neighbor is five
miles distant. The nearest town is
eighteen miles away. One strikes the
railway after a journey of 100 miles
through a virtual wilderness, the wild
and rugged country being interspersed
here and there withsmsill settlements.
Case himself is a splendid specimen of
manhood. He is sixty-seven yenrs old,
but straight as an arrow, brave as a lion
and strong as a giant. He is a dead shot
with the rifle, and his cabin is stored
with the skins of bears and deer which
have fallen before his unerring aim. In
the war with Mexico he led a company,
and in the war of the rebellion ho began i
as a priva te and ended as Captain on the
side of the Union. Alter Hostilities
ceased he returned to his cabin, content
to end life in isolation and solitude.
A strange fatality has attended his
children. Two of his boys were killed
by guerillas during the war. In lbfcO
the revenue oncers raided a "moonshine"
distillery in the L'oston Mountains. The
"moonsh ners," though surprised,
showed light, and several were wounded,
among them two of the Case boys. They
succceded in hiding in the underbush
and thus escaped capture. One died
from the effects of the wound live
months after; the other died in Texas
f^m the same cause a year later. In
18&, in a fight on Calf Creek,
another of the boys was fatally
stabbed, dying in a few days.
Recently the father received word from
Colorado City, Texas, that the son who
accompanied his ill-fated brother to the
State named had been shot and killed in
a quarrel with a man on a ranch sixty
miles beyond the town. Thus six have
perished by violent means. The only
surviving son is living quietly with his
father. He has a violent temper, and
only by shunning intercourse as much as
possible with his fellowman can he hope
to escape the fate which has overtaken
his brothers.
Most Valuable Square Mile in the
World.
The district undercharge of the Metropolitan
police of Londou, is no less
than thirty miles in diameter, and embraces
a superficial extent of about. ?00
square miles, while the city and its liberties
only covcr a single square mile.
But no other square mile in the world
is the centre of business interests so important,
or contains such a mass of valuable
property in the shape of bullion,
cash, and convertible securities. The area
of the city is merely a mile; but there nre
about fifty miles of streets to be patrolled,
and many of them during the daytime
are crowded to exce-n, while after business
hours they are relatively deserted.
Banks, warehouses, and offices are
lockcd up, or left in the care of a solitary
watchman or housekeeper. Nevertheless
even of a niirht some 50.000 fouIs
are supposed to sleep in the city, which,
aftoa all, is considerably more than the
population of many a flourishing provincial
town. The metropolitan district
ha9 a population of some 4,000,000; and,
including the business-men who come up
from their suburban or country residences,
it may be said to send all its
adults into the city each working day.
In other words, there is a daily influx
of about 1,000,000, chiefly of busy men.
The rising tide of incess:int traflic must
be directed, especially where it comos in
rushes or breaks into eddies, as at the
great railway stations or on the bridges
?about the banks, the Mansion House,
or the Stock Exchange.

Ahother Life Saved.
Abcut two years ago a prominent citizen 01
Chicago was told by his ph>slcians that he
mus: die. They said his system was so debililated
that there was nothing left to build on.
He made up his mind to try a "'new departure."
He got some of Dr. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery" and took it according to
dii ections. He began to improve at once. He
"kept up the treatment for some months, and is
to-day a well man. He says the "Discovery"
saved his life.

Hints to Consumptives.
Consumptives should use food as nourishing
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the patient.
Out-door exercise is earnestly recommended
If you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no ;
excuse fdt shutting yourself in-doors, but you
should take exercise in a carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration mu3t
be avoided. For five hundred years physicians
haVe tried to cure Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great derangement of the secretions, with
engorgement of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso'a Cure removes
the engorgement and the derangement
of the secretions, and consequently (and in
this way only) diminishes the amount of matter
expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up a cough, but removes the cause of it.
"When it is impossible from debility or other
causes to exercise freely in the open air, apartments
occupied by the patient should be so
ventilated as to ensure the constant accession
of fresh air in abundance.
The surface of the body Bhould be sponged
as often as every third day with tepid water
and a little soft-soap. (This Is preferable to
any other.) After thoroughly drying, use
friction with the hand moistened with oil,
Cod-Liver or Olive is the best. This keeps the i
pores of the skin in a soft, pliable condition, I
which contributes materially to the unloading |
of waste matter from the system through this
organ. You will piease recoluc: we cure this
disease by enabling the organs of the system
to perform their functions In a normal way,
or, In other woids, we remove obstruction?,
while the recuperative powers of the syBtem
cure the disease.
We will here say a word in regard to a cough
in the forming stage, where there is no constitutional
or noticeable disease. A cough
may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take
it iu its mildest form, to say the least, it is a
nu.sance, and should be abated.
A cough is unlike any other symptom of disease.
It stands a conspirator, with threatening
voice, menacing the health and existence
of a vital organ. Its first approacu is in whisEers
unintelligible, and at first too ofttn uneeded,
but in time it never fails to ma e itself
understood?never fails to claim the attention
of those on whom it calls.
Ir you have a cough without disease of the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so
munh fha hatfor an n. f?w do Pfl of Piso's G'Ure
will bs all you may need, while If you ro far
advanced In Consumption, several bottles may
be required to effect a permanent cure.

What is Scrofula
I irt la that Immirltv In the blood, which, accumu
latlng In the glands of the neck, produces unsightly
lumps or swellings; which causes painful running
sores on the arms, legs or feet; which developes ulcers
In tho eycH, eari or note, often causing blindness
Or deafness; which Is the origin of pimples,
cancerous growths, or the many other manifestations
usually ascribed to ' humors." It Is a more
formidable enemy than consumption or cancer
alone, for scrofula combines the worst possible features
of both. Being the most ancient, It Is the most
general of all dlseas s or affections, for very few
persons arc entirely free from It.
How can It be cured ? By taking Hood's Sarsaparllla,
which, by the cures It has accomplished, often
when other medicines hive failed, has proven Itself
to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease.
Some of these cures are really wonderful.
If you suffer from scrofula In any of Its various
forms be sure to give Hood's Sar^aparllla a trial.
Send for book of cures.

A MOTHER SAVED PROM AN UNTIMELY
DEATH.
Teara of Sorrrw Turned to Smile* of Re
jolcjng.
Rochester, Aug. 31, 1889.
Pardee Medicine Co ?Gentlemen: I am
now seventy-three years old, and until I w*s
seventy I was always strong and healthy; but
ttie amount of suffering I have endured since
that time, I feel to be sufficient for a lifetime.
I had a severe attack of sciatic rheumatism.
whicb completely prostrated me; my iimra
and leet, and in fact my whole body was so
drawn out of shape that it was impossible to
move without assistance. 1 was unable to
straighten my limbs or to step on my feet for
more than a year, and my life wti despaired
of. Children ana friends were called in to see
me die. I was treated by three good physicians,
and they and my friends did all they
conld to relieve my suffering, but to no avail.
My hips were blistered, and my limbs robbed,
batheu and bandaged, but nothing they could
do afforded me even temporary relief. Tongue
cannot describe my sneering. I urged them
to let me try Dr. Pardee's remedy, as I had
read so much about it, and of those who had
been cured by its use, that it gave me conlldence
in it, although x confess I had little or
no faith in so-called patent medicines. The
re i.edy was procured, and I commenced using
it as directed, and after taking It a short time
could see that it wiw helping me. I b>
Ran to persp re freely, and as the perspiration
increased the pain decreased, but my clothing
and bedding was a sight to behold, being nearly
"as yellow, as saffron." I had taken the
Remedy but a short time, when I conld s'eep
like a child, and relish my food like one.
Thank God it has cured me, and lam to-day as
healthy and strong as before and can walk
and have as free use of my limbs as ever.. I
have recommenced your reined v to very many
who were afflicted, and I do notkLOW of a case
it has not cnred. I am confident that It will
cure young people, if it will core at my age.
Yon are at liberty tousa mt name, if it will be
the means of inducing any poor sufferer to nse
your excellent Remedy. 1 am very gratefully
yours. MRS. JANE A. FLACK.
