Do Ton Open Your Mouth
Like a young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you ?
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine ?
Most intelligent and sensible people
now-a-uays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle-
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and verifies it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman’s peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and derangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-down pain or distrtss in
lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom
panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp
toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce’s B’avorite
Prescription is a most efficient remedy.
It is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system of
the expectant mother for baby’s coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre
scription" is a most potent, strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular.
It is also a soothing and invigorating
tervine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria,
spasms, chorea or St. Vitus’s dance, and
other distressing nervous svmptoms at
tendant upon functional $ni4 qrganic dis
eases of tl# distinctly feminine organs.
A host of medical authqrities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
"Favorite Prescription” is made for the
cure of the diseases for which it is claimed
to be a cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending a postal card
request for a free booklet of extracts from
the leading authorities, to Doctor R. V.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple Indigee-
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which falls of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Tilmage, D. D.
It — *
Los Angelos, Cal., July 22.—That
diet Influences character ang that a
man is largely what he eatsf is illus
trated in this sermon, the preacher
taking for his text Daniel 1, 12, “Prove
thy servairts, I beseech thee, ten days.”
“What is a vletory like?” said a lady
friend to the Waterloo conqueror.
“The greatest tragedy in the world,
madam, except a defeat,” was the an
swer. Well said, thou Iron duke. None
could speak more authoritatively. The
world has supposed thy heart adaman
tine. But even the stones themselves
might almost weep when they are
drenched with human carnage. The
cheers of triumph can never drown the
sobs of anguish. The glittering re
wards of victory caunot blind our eyes
to the awful price at which that vic
tory was purchased. Lord Roberts,
upon his returu from the Boer war,
was hailed in England as a conquer-
lag chief. When he returned from
Africa to London the whole nation rose
to do him honor. But while the Brit
ish were acclalmiug the mighty deeds
of “Little Bobs,” Lord Roberts was
wearing upon his uniform grief’s sym
bol, the black crape. Lord Roberts’
only boy had been shot among the Af
rican hills. So is it always with xvar.
We praise the returning chieftains,
but we cannot forget the bloody fields
over which these heroes have waded
and the many grave trenches they saw
filled with the slain bodies of their
valiant comrades.
But if the battlefields of the nine
teenth century were the scenes of aw
ful tragedies, what must have been
the horrors of the battlefields of the
fifteenth, the twelfth and th" fifth cen
turies and the battlefields of a thou
sand years ago. In olden times the
conquerors rarely took prisoners or
liberated their captives upou parole,
as we do now. The general custom
was to slay their prisoners or, what
was still more common, to sell them in
to perpetual servitude. This practice
was almost universal. Thus many of
the nations, like the Phoenicians and
the Etrurians and the Cretes and the
Sicilians, made war for human cap
tives as well as for gold and silver.
These nations were known according
to an old historian’s definition as “man
stealers.” They wanted human slaves
as oarsmen to man their galleys and
laborers to work in their fields and
men and women to be their domestic
servants as well as men for chario
teers. What was true of the great mar
itime states mentioned was also true
of Egypt and Rome and Greece and
Babylon. These mighty cities of olden
times all had their human auction
blocks. The greater the conquests of
their returning warriors the greater
number of slaves to be put up and sold
as common cattle In the market places.
Thus, having made this explanation,
we can understand why Daniel and
the finest youths of the Hebrew nation
were <?arrled to Nebuchadnezzar's cap
ital after Jerusalem had been captured
and overthrown.
The Kins’. Meat.
No sooner was the Babylonish king
back in his palace than he called one
of hi| chief otficers, Ashpeuaz by name,
and said: “Ashpeuaz, I wish you would
go and look over those young Hebrews
whom I have brought back. Select
three or four of the finest physical and
mental specimens that are there. Then
for the next three years take them and
educate them and feed them from my
own table. I want to develop these
men for my own service. I want to re
enforce the Intelligence of my own
court with the best blood of this Hebrew
nation.” The result of this command:
Daniel and bis three friends, Hananlah
and Mislmel and Azariab, were selected.
All, this was high honor for Daniel and
his companions. It not only meautTlb-
eratlon from human slavery, but In
time It also meant membership In the
king’s council. But, alas, alas, It seems
as though Daniel Is foolishly going to
upset all his political prospects. When
the food and the wine from the king’s
table are placpd before him, Daniel re
fuses them because they are forbid
den diet—are unclean according to
Jewish law. “But,” says the king’s
chamberlain, “you must eat this meat
and wine, for if you do not the king
will not only punish me, but also will
probably slay you. And he will surely
know this refusal by your starved
looks.” Then Daniel spoke the words
0f*my text: “Prove thy servants, I be
seech thee, ten days, and give us pulse
to eat and wap;r to drink. Then let
our countenances be looked upon be
fore thee, and the countenances of the
children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat, and as thou seest deal
with thy servants.” Bo the royal offi
cer consented to them In this matter
and proved them ten days. You all
know the result of this test. At the
end of ten days the countenances of
Daniel and bis three friends were
“fairer” and fatter in flesh than all the
children who did eat the portion of
the king’s meat. Hueh today is the
simple story from which we will draw
our sermonlc theme And may our his
tory In life be like that of Daniel, who
refused to eat Die king’s meat.
I^et us now look at our subject a lit
tle closer. Notice that this king’s
meat was to Daniel and his comrades
ft oeuMiml temptation. It appealed to
Daniel’s eye and nostril and palate,
ft was the temptation of the banquet
hall, whi.’fc not only smelled good and
looked good, but It appealed to Daniel
the more enticingly because heretofore
be bad never had bis appetite surfeit
ed by the delectable elands )f u royal
kitchen.
Daniel’. Temptation.
The richest of foods become nauseat
ing and repellent If one has too much
of them. Frederick Seward tells the
story that, many years ago, bis father,
Secretary William II. Seward, was vis
iting In Alaska. The people there
wished to show Lincoln’s great pre
mier all the respect they could, so they
gave him a great banquet. While they
were eating one of the ladles at the
table said, “Governor, we are very
sorry that we can offer you nothing
but the fare of the country.” “But
that is excellent,” said the governor.
“Oh, no,” answered the lady. “We
have nothing here but venison and
grouse and trout. We have these so
often that we are sick of the sight of
them. We were in hopes of obtaining
some beef by the last steamer, but we
were disappointed, and so we can give
you nothing but what our country pro
duces.” “That reminds me,” said one
of the offloers at the table, “of the
mutiny which was threatened at a
Florida post in olden times because
the soldiers protested against being
served with green turtle soup more
than once a week.” So you can see
that, even under the very brightest
condlJlonSj the most enticing of foods
palls upon the'^alfite }f they are served
to^ often anjl too long ^ ...
But Daniel liad never been an epi
cure. He had never been one who
was a devotee of sensual pleasures.
He had grown up with the plain,
coarse, simple and yet wholesome foo.l
upon which most of us were reared ln-
our fathers’ homes. He had the simple
breakfast and the simple dinners and
the simple suppers common to Jewish
childhood. This “pulse” which lie men
tions is the general name given to the
leguminous plants, such as the beans
and peas. etc. Thus you can see what
a temptation must have come to Daniel
in a sensuiwl way when he suddenly
had placed before him the viands and
the wines of the king’s banquet hall.
Oh, they looked so good, and they
smelled so good! The boy probably
wanted to taste them. He wanted
to feast on them. And yet, had he
feasted thus and kept on feasting,
he would surely have spiritually died.
The meats by the Mosaic law were un
clean. God had said, “Thou shalt not
eat this food.”
“True,” says some one, “the king’s
meat may have been unclean food for
Daniel, but it is not unclean for me.
We are not living under the old but
under the uevv dispensation. What
was a sin for Daniel to eat Is not a
sin for me to eat.” Oh, of course we
are not asserting that it is a sin for us
to eat ham or pork as it was a sin for
the ancient Hebrews, although all peo
ple would be better off if they did not
eat the condemned swine’s flesh. But
we are asserting that there is a direct
connection indween what a man eats
and what a man spiritually is. And
we are asserting that the sins of the
palate are among the very worst of
all sins. They are the sins which are
often the forerunners of all other sins.
They are the sins which will turn
man into a beast and may unkennel
all the tigers and the wolves and the
hyenas and the jackals of his lower
nature. Beware, O man, of the king's
meats and wines, which Satan Is
ready to spread for us in many a ban
quet hall!-The Sicilians erected an al
tar ip Qerea ty < 14 e y lia 5 la . Uie goddess
of gluttony. May we, as servants of
the true God, never be found worship
ing at this brutalizing, this mental
and physical and moral and spiritual
depleting shrine.
Ten Thoaaand Goda.
But, steppiug Into this bauquet hall,
where is spread the unclean food of
the royal kitchen, I find another star
tling fact. The king’s meat and the
king’s wine are served amid the vitiat
ing atmosphere of religious liberalism.
The Babylonish people were not athe
ists, so called. They were deists, like
the Greeks or the Romans or the mod
ern Hindoos, who have 10,000 gods.
They not only had 10,000 gods, but
they could make a new god whenever
they so willed. They could make him
of stone or wood or clay or even of a
man himself. It was just as easy for
the Babylonish inhabitants to make u
new god as It Is for the British minis
try to create peers for the upper house
of parliament. You remember Benja
min Disraeli’s biting sarcasm. He was
attending a public bauquet. By the
social law of English prestige the mem
bers of the English bouse of lords
marched In first. After the members
of the nobility had gone In Disraeli
turned and took a gentleman’s arm to
march in, and he said: “Come on, my
friend. It is our turn now. We must
follow In after my lords. But I am go
ing to manufacture a dozen of these
same kind of lords next week, if I
live.” So the Babylonish inhabitants
were not atheists. They could manu
facture a new god as easily as Benja
min Disraeli could create a new lord
for the upper house of parliament.
During the French revolution, on the
motion of Pierre Gaspard Chaumette.
who was afterward guillotined, the
Cathedral Notre Dame was turned In
to the “Temple of Reason.” Then, on
the 10th of November, 1703, the young
and beautiful wife of a Jacobin
printer, Mme. Momoro by name, was
carried through the streets of Paris in
•n Ivory chair. She was l»orne upon
♦be strong arms of men. There she
was crowned within the cathedral
which In a few years was to see the
coronation of Napoleon and Josephine.
She was saluted as the Goddess of
Reason. Similar to the deifying of a
l»oor printer’s wife in the n arisln»
capital In 1703 was the attempt to
ileify King Darius In the Babylonish
capital in B. C All tin* presidents
and governors and the princes and the
counselors and the captains of the
kingdom came to the king and said,
"Establish a royal statute and make a
firm decree that whosoever shall ask a
petition of any god or man for thirty
days, save of thee, O king, he shall be
cast into the den of lions.” Thus, as
we bear the Parisian mobs cry, “Hall,
thou Goddess of Reason, hail, ball!”
we hear the Babylonish Inhabitants In
the j’enr r>3S B. C. crying: “Hall, thou
god king Darius! Thou art king of
kings and lord of lords! Hall! Hail!
Hail!” Oh, the Babylonish inhabitants
were not atheists. Far from it. They
were deists. They were the most lib
eral kind of deists. By lbe stroke of
a king’s pen they could make a new
god whenever they wished. Now, It
was into such a vitiating atmosphere
of religious liberalism as this that Dan
iel and bis three comrades went to live.
The I'nelenn Food.
I can hear his friends talking to him
and trying to persuade him to eat this
unclean food. “Oh,” they say, “Daniel,
of course your God Is all right. But
what is the good of being a bigot? Why
are you so hidebound about this food?
Why do you not worship the Babylonish
gods? Why do you not theologically
broaden out? Why do you stick so
close to your Jewish laws? Why do
you not become a student of ‘the new
thought?’ ” “But what Is the ‘new
thought?’ ” says Daniel. “Why.” say
the Babylonish friends, “don’t you
know? Have you not been reading our
new theology? Why, Urn ‘new thought’
Is a beautiful belief. This Is it In sub
stance: God is goodness. God is in us.
TCs jire^ all part of God. Just try to
think of ?;od as* a good being and try
to develop all the good in you, and you
will grow better and grow like God.”
“But,” says Daniel, “what has that to
do with the first commandment, which
Moses gave to the children of Israel: I
am the Lord thy God, which brought
thee out of the land of Egypt and out
of the house of bondage; thou shalt
have no other gods before me?” “Ob,
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel,” say the Baby
lonish friends, “we have outgrown all
that superstitious stuff. We have out
grown all the commandments and tiie
Jewish dietary laws. We are the advo
cates of the ‘new thought.’ In that
‘new thought’ we just try to be good,
and that is all one needs to do.” My
friends, cannot you hear Daniel's
friends trying to get him to eat the un
clean food and adopt the religious lib
eralism of the Babylonish capital?
Is not Satan trying to get you to eat
of the unclean food in our modern
Babylons by the same pernicious argu
ment of theological liberalism? I am
not the least bit afraid that you will
become a blatant atheist. I am not
afraid that you will turn your back
upou Christ or upon the Bible. But I
am afraid lest the insidious advance of
the new liberal thought should under
mine the foundations of your faith. I
find it doing its deadly work In the
church and in society. Men are giving
up their anchorages and are drifting
out on the sea of doubt toward the
rocks of eternal disaster. Never let go
your faith In the essential truths of
Christianity. The divinity of Christ, his
sinless life and his atonement on the
cross, his resurrection and ascension,
the work of the Holy Spirit, the neces
sity of the new birth and the inspira
tion of the Bible—these are tne dis
tinguishing doctrines of our faith. To
abandon these Is to surrender all that
has made our religion a power in the
world; It is to turn Christianity Into a
dry, dead system of ethics. In Christ
alone have we Jlfe. The Bi^le declares
It. If y6u deliberately go fortS to eai
oil tie unclean food In the Babylonish
capital you must perish. O God, may
we never become so liberal that we
cannot make the words of Jesus Christ
the center, the circumference, the all
In all of what we should believe and
how we should live!
. A National Prejudice.
But there Is still another fact which
would have made the eating of the
king’s meat easy for Daniel. The king'*
food was spread in the presence of the
young man’s enemies. If Daniel did
not eat the meat and drink the wine
which came from the royal kitchens
and wine cellars at once, In all proba
bility the refusal would be reported to
the king’s bigber officials, and Daniel’s
bright political prospects would not
only be stopped, but without doubt
Daniel would lose his head. “Well,”
you say, that Is strange. How can this
be? Daniel did not have any enemies
as yet He had Just been selected for
future political favoritism and bad not
yet eaten his first meal In the palace.”
Ah, my friends, by that question I
know one fact. You have not traveled
much abroad.
In our country the word “clannish
ness” has not much meaning. When
we go back to our Revolutionary days
we find that Kosciusko and Baron
Bteuben and Lafayette helped to win
our Independence. Then we find that
Hamilton and a host of other states
men who helped make us what we are
were foreign born. Then we find that
scores and hundreds of Inventors like
Ericsson and moneyed kings like Car
negie and teachers like Agassiz were
also born across the sea. And thus,
strange to say, the highest recommen
dation that an artist or a writer or a
preacher can have before the American
public Is that be was foreign born.
But, though our own people seem to feel
that all prlma donnas who have a for
eign name can sing better than our
own, yet this Is not true of foreign
lands. The man whom the Germans
are most ready to honor Is the German.
The man the English are most ready
to honor Is the Englishman. The man
the Scotch are most ready to honor Is
the Scotchman. The same law was
true of the Romans, the Greeks, the
Egyptians, the Hebrew’s and the Baby
lonians. The people who were not of
their own nationality were always
looked at askance and despised. Thus
you can see the national prejudice
—' .. .W*-’
which at once arose against Daniel
after his selection by the king because
he was foreign born.
“What Jlmvc Yon Donef”
“Aha!” the people cry. “Aba! If be
does not eat the king’s meat we will
expose him. Then this foreign upstart
will remain a slave, as lie ought to do.”
And yet, my friends, as I hear the ene
mies of Daniel gloating about his over
throw, can I not hear jour euemies
gloating over your spiritual overthrow
in the same way’. You enter a certain
line of business. The proprietor de
cides to keep bis place open on Sun
day, or, what is worse, his foreman
comes to you and asks you to do some
thing which is not squarely and up
rightly honest. “Rut,” you say to the
foreman, “I never work on Sunday,”
or you say: “That is uot honest. L am
not going to do It.” The foreman
shrugs bis shoulders and says: “All
right. If you won't do it, I will tell the
boss. Then I guess you will have to
hunt another place.” Then all j’our
enemies will cry: “Aha! We will de
stroy him. Aha, aha!” What have you
done? Are you today compromising
j’our Lord in the presence of your eue
mies?
But there Is yet one more fact about
this king’s meat to which I wish to
call your attention. It was spread in
a foreign land; it was spread scores
and hundreds of miles away from the
place where Daniel was born; It was
spread in the Babylonish capital; it
was spread so far away from home
that methinks at first I can hear
Daniel whisper to himself these words:
“Well, what Is the difference if I do
eat the king's meat and drink the
king’s wine? It will only be for a shon
time that I will do It. Father and
mother will never hear about It. They
are away off now among the Judean
hills, and even If I do go back to Jen
salem, why, then I will start all over
again and be a consistent Hebrew, as
I used to be.” But no sooner does be
speak thus than I hear him say: “Nay;
I will not do this. God sees; God
knows. I see; I know. And I will be
true to myself and true to mj’ absent
loved ones and true to my God wheth
er I am in the Babylonish capital or
In my own dear Jerusalem or In my
own father's house.” Oh, my friends,
has not the tempter come to you, as I
have imagined he came to Daniel,
whispering: “Why don’t you eat the
unclean food? No one knows; no one
will know. Why don’t you eat the
fruit of the forbidden tree Just once?”
The Tempter a Perjurer.
But, though the tempter may come
to us and whisper, “Child, just once,
and no oue will know of thy sin,” be
lieve him not; the tempter is a per
jurer. For no man ever sinned but at
last that siu found him out. In that
fascinating book of truvels 2 “On the
Frontier,” Mr. Campion tells us how
la the isthmus of Panama he tried to
gather some beautiful green plants of
a most delicate shade and form. No
sooner would be reach out and pluck
one than this leaf would become noth
ing but a withered, shriveled, brownish
weed. “At first,” said Mr. Campion.
“I thought I was stricken with a de
lirium of the fatal Panama fever, but
after awhile I found that I had been
plucking a sensitive plant, so sensitive
that as soon as I touched one immedi
ately It lost Its color and life.” So It
is with sin. We maj’ think we can
pluck the beautiful leaves of sin and
press them to our lips to kiss them
and no one will know it. But, alas,
the world will soon see that we are
not holding pjy; bandjj the beauti
ful flower of purity, but a withered
stalk of sin. No sin can be safely hid
den. EveryFsln will ultimately be
found out. No Babylon is so far away
but the misdeeds of a Daniel will be
carried back to the home land and, what
Is far worse, carried up to be written
down In the pages of the great book
which shall be opened by the recording
angel at the judgment seat of Jesus
Christ. Hear It. man! Hear It, wom
an! Hear It, child!
Thus It Is with great Joy that I hold
up before your eyes the character of
Daniel for you to copy. The last time
I ever heard D. L. Moody preach was
about this mighty man of God. In
that sermonlc picture he showed us
how Daniel was able to stand with
nnblanched cheek amid the gapiug
mouths of the Hons’ den. But If yOu
have followed me you know I have
not once mentioned Daniel as the
mighty statesman of Nebuchadnezzar's
court. My sermon has revolved about
the first great temptation of Daniel's
life, when he refused to eat the king’s
meat, as the first great temptation of
Joseph’s life was in Potiphar's home.
When these two young men were
found true to God in the first tempta
tions of youth the way was paved for
them to become the premiers of kings
So may we be true to God In the first
temptations. May we be true to God
In our youth. Then, whether we rise
to positions of power and Influence
among the great of the world or con
tinue In hunxhle life, doing our duty In
obscurity, we shall please him who,
when this world’s work Is done, shall
give to us our heavenly crown. Thus
I close with the only five words I re
member of D. L. Moody’s sermon. They
are these: “Dare to be a Daniel! Dare
to be a Daniel! Dare to be a Daniel!”
In God’s name and with God's power,
dare to be a Daniel and triumph on
earth and In heaven. In God’s name,
dare.
