The blood becomes thin and watery, or clogged with impurities. Sometimes you get up in the morning just as tired as when you went to bed. Some peo- ple havc'hcmlaches and a feeling of langour; others are low spirited and nervous; still others have. )‘llll’l‘ pics and skin eruptions.

Hcmford, N says : “A couple of years ago when I came ‘home from a lumber- ing camp where I had been employ- ed my blood was in‘ such a condition that my whole body broke out in boils-«some six'and eight in a. nest. These were so painful that I was confined to the house and for three months was treated by my family doctm'. I got no better; in fact the sores began to eat into my flesh, and at times were so offensive that I refused to sit at the table with my family. A friend asked me one dag why I did not give Dr. Willi- air-s“ [’ink Pills a trial- and I decid- ed to do so. I got six boxes and before they were all gone the‘sores began to disappear and my system was much strengthened. I continu- cd using the pills until I had taken twelve boxes, when every boil and sore had disappeared, and I have since enjoyed the very best of health.

A ruler-~Mark and Luke give him the fuller title, “rul- er of. the synagogue.” His duties were to preside over the synagogue as a center of worship, maintaining order and choosing those who were to participate in the services. He was a man of high rank. VVorshipped himâ€"Paid him such reverent homage as men are wont to give to kings. My daughter is even now deadâ€"- This is an abbreviated form of the story.

The woman hoped to escape unseen. The disciples, eager to get to the house of Jairus, remonstrated. ' But Jesus was not satisfied; his sympa- thy had been aroused: “Some one did touch me.” And when he dis- covered who it was, he insisted on her confessing her story. .le of good checr-Mark informs us that she shrank back, “fearing and trembling.” To be discovered in this way was to be put to shame before the‘ multitude. But it was the only way Jesus could rid her of superstition. and Show her it was her faith that had made her whole, and not any magic cflicacy in the hon tassel. ’ _ The woman was made whole from tnat hour~â€"This cure became notable. An early tradition says that the woman’s name was Vero- ni ‘a, and her home was in Cacsarca I’hilippi, and that she was there- fore. a. Gentile. At the gates of her house, in the fourth century, was to be seen a monument represent- ing this scene. 23. .liluteâ€"playcrs, and the crowd making a tumultâ€"All this confusion was in keeping with ancient cus- tom.

That she was actually dead, in the sense that life had flown from her body. ’.l.‘he mourners, indeed, laughed Jesus to scorn for his words. Moreover, the miracle loses its point if the girl was only asleep in the ordinary sense. Peter was present, and the accounts of the event must have come from him, and Luke, :1. physician, says expli- eitly that “her spirit returned.” ‘2. Jesus invariably looked upon death as a. sleep. The early Chris- tians follmvcd him in this (Matt. 27. 52; Acts 7. 00; l Thess. 4. ‘3â€"15). He entered inâ€"â€"Togcth-er with the three disciples and the parents of the child.

He then brought it down to my neck, which he touched with the blade, to measure the distance, as it were, for a clean, effective stroke. Then, drawing back a stop, he quickly raised the sword again and struck a blow at me with all his might. The sword passed dis- agreeably close to my neck, but it did not touch me. “I would not flinch, nor speak, and my demeanor seemed to im- press him almost to the point of frightening him.
