' Self-Made Poverty. f t- W'I" if;> -1 FM-- IS; y *fI iwmld not say hard words against poverty; wherever it comes it is bitter to ? all: but yon will mark, as yon notice carefully, that, while a few are poor be- ; muse of unavoidable circumstances, a .! Very large mass of the poverty of our country is the sheer and clear result of profuseness, want of forethought, idle- , aess, and.. worst of all drunkenness. Ah, that drunkenness, that is the master evil. If drink could be got rid 61 we •;'f- fttight be sure of conquering the devil himself. The drunkenness created by the infernal liquor-dens which plague- % spot the whole of this great nation is 1 appalling. No, I did not speak in haste «^letslipa hasty word; many of the - drink-houses are nothing less than in- y " fcrnal; in some respects they are worse, lor hell has its uses as a divine protest f against sin, but as for the gin palace, i v there is nothing to be said in its favor, ifhe vices of the age cause three-fourths p: the poverty. If we could look at the Homes to-night, the wretched homes Where women will tremble at the sound tif their husband's foot as hecomeshome, . .Where little children will crouch down • irith fear upon their little heap of straw, "becausethe human brute who calls him- " |elf 'a man' will come reeling home from the place where he has been indulging his appetites--if you could look at such a - aaght and remember it will be seen ten . ; • •thousand times over to-night, you will say, 'God help us by all means to save Home.' Seize the great axe to lay at the > 1 *pot of this deadly upas tree, and to ntork constantly with it till the huge . «. . tlmnk of the poison tree begins to rock to - , ' «nd fro, and we get it down, and our ; «ountry is saved from the wretchedness «nd misery which now drips from every kongh." High-Pressure living characterizes these modern days. The result is a fearful increase of Brain and Heart Diseases -- General De­ bility, Insomnia, Paralysis, and In­ sanity. Chloral and Morphia augment the evil. The medicine best adapted to do permanent good is Ayer's Sar­ saparilla. It purifies, enriches, and vitalizes the blood, and thus strengthens every function and faculty of the body. " I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in my family, for yean. I have lotupl It invaluable as A Cure for Nervous Debility caused by an in­ active liver and a low state of the 'blood." -- Henry Bacon, Xenia, Ohio. "For some time I have been troubled with heart disease. I never found any-" thing to help me until I began using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I have only used thi9 medicine six months, but it has re­ lieved me from my trouble, and enabled me to resume work."--J. P. Carzanett, Perry, 111, " I have been a practicing physician for over half a century, and during that time I have never found so powerful and reliable an alterative and blood- purifier as Ayer's Sarsaparilla." --Dr. M. Maxstart,\Louisville, Ky, * Hi>h Prices hit tlie above party early this Fall. From the effects of the backstop his imme­ diate recovery is doubtful. Low profits come quick, while big profits are terribly backward in coming forward.
