What a proposition from an American city. With the recurrence of la grippe comes the old prescription of whiskey. Dr. G. F. Shrady, General Grant's physician, on being asked if whiskey was a good pre­ ventative of the disease answered: " Whis­ key is never good to ward off anything. Good food is the best meaus with which -to ward off disease. To doee with whis­ key is like adding shavings to the fire. There is no physical, mental or moral ex- ease for a man's drinking whiskey as a preventative of disease." Save and Have, or, Waste and Want. Either man mnst be content with pov­ erty all his life, or else be willing u> deny himself some luxuries, and save, to lay tile base of independence in the future. But if a man denies the future and spends all he earns (whether his earnings be one dollar or ten dollars every day), let him look for lean and hungry want at some future time--for it will surely come, no matter what he thinks. To save is ab­ solutely the only way to get a solid for­ tune; there is no other certain mode, "those who shut their eyes and ears to tfoeee plain facts will be forever poor, and for their obstinate rejection of truth, mayhap will die in rags and filth. Let them so die, and thank themselves. Bat no I They take a sort of recompense in corsing fortune. Great waste of breath. They might as well curse the mountains and the eternal hills. For I can tell them fortune does not give away real and sub­ stantial goods. She sells them to the highest bidder, to the hardest and wisest worker for the boon. Men never make so fatal a mistake as when they think them­ selves creatures of fate, 'tis the sheerest folly in the world. Every man may make or mar his life, whichever he may choose. Fortune is for those who by dilligence honesty, frugalty, place themselves in a position to grasp hold of fortune when it appears in view. The best evidence of frugalty is the five hundred dollars or more standing in your name at the sav­ ings bank. The best evidence of honesty consists in dilligence and frugalty. rPHE RIPANS TABULES regulate the stomach, liver andbowels, purify * the blood, are pleasant to take, safe and always effectual./ A reliable rem­ edy for Biliousness, Blotches on the FacerBright's Disease, Catarrh, Colic, Constipation, Chrbnic Diarrhoea, Chronic Liver Trouble, Diabetes, Disor­ dered Stomach, Dizziness, Dysentery, Dyspepsia, Eczema, Flatulence, Female Complaints, Foul Breath, Headache, Heartburn, Hives, Jaundice, Kidney '4 * C o m p l a i n t s , L i v e r petite, Mental Depres Rash, Painful Diges" Blood to the Head, Salt Rheum, Staid Headache, Skin Dis Tired Feeling, Torpid Brash and every other that results from im in the proper perform SuvS Troubles, Loss of Ap- sion, Nausea, Nettle tion, Pimples, Rush of Sallow Complexion, Head, Scrofula, Sick eases, Sour Stomach, Liver, Ulcers, "Water s y m p t o m o r d i s e a s e pure blood or a failure ance of their functions by the stomach, liver and intestines.
