Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in the worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recom­ mended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.--Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, R- L For sale by Julia A.

"I figured out years ago," said a prosperous farmer, "that with very moderate drinking, I'd drink an acre of good land every year. So I quit. Here is a temperance lecture, done up fn a small parcel convenient for hand­ ling. He wanted a straw hat for his soil. Ten cents was the price he wanted to pay. The merchant showed him a hat priced at IS cents. "I can-buy a car­ load of them for ten cents each." "You can beat us, "said the metchant as he pitched it back into the box. The MM went out followed by an almost bare­ headed boy wearing a disappointed look. An hour later that same man went to a {dace where dri nk is sold, paid ten cents for an ounce of whiskey and did not "JeW" the bar keeper one cent. The boy still needs a hat.--Sandwich Argus. The Woman's Christian Temperanoe Union of Wheaton has issued a circular and petition to members of t\e Chicago Golf Club asking them to discontinue playing on Sundays and to close their club house. They make the request in behalf of all concerned, and more par­ ticularly in behalf of the "caddies,'f who in the formative period of their lives need the good influence of a day of sacred rest and religious instruction. The petition was endorsed by a vote in meetings of four of our churches, and by the names of 300 citisens. In giving account of a convention of brewers, a New York paper remarks that "never before were so many mill­ ionaires gathered in one hall at one time." And now if we could assemble all the men whose beer-drinking hw made theie colossal fortunes possible, it would be quite as significant and cer­ tainly an uncomfortably suggestive sight, In tha saloons of a single city of a hundred thousand inhabitants, the contributions annually taken for the enrichment of the brewers and their agents are estimated at three and a half million dollars. A young woman was recently asked by a young man to become his wife. He was a bright fellow and was ac­ cepted in general society because of the wealth and official position of his father, but his habits were known to be bad. There were no evasions in her answer. "You tell me," she said, "that I possess qualities that you must have in the woman who is your wife. I cannot say that I have them--but I can speak of habits that I do not have, and that 1 could not accept in a husband who did have them. I do not smoke. I never swear. I do not indulge in wine. I am not in debt. Not -a moment of my nights ate spent with questionable associates, and my days are not given to idleness or to walking the streets with silly, unthinking girls. Most women avoid the indulgences I have mentioned, and do not welcome them in men who ask to become their hus bands. As you have them, or most of them, I am not willing to become your wife, I am sure nothing but wretched ness could follow from such a union.' The answer Was sharp and decisive. It is a pity all girls under the same cir­ cumstances are not as frank Mid sen­ sible. The Cigarette EvlL Suppose a boy has a lot of cigarettes, and smokes a few of them every day. is there any injury in this? I can tell you, for I have had such boys for pa­ tients. Such smoking, even in so-called moderation (as if there wure any such thing as moderation in stimulants for the young!) will do three things for him: 1. It will run his pulse up to 100 or more per minute. I. It will re luce his weight below the healthy standard. 3 It will reduce his strength and gen­ eral vitality, as will appear in his pale complexion and diminished appetite. * * * Cigarette smoking is one of the worst habits physically that a boy can form. It injures the heart and digestion, and it tends to check the growth. It gives a lad false and silly notions, and it does not bring him into good company.-- Harper's Young People. During the civil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was oue of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many in- tsances it became chronic and the old soldiers still suffer from it. Mr. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa., is one of these. He uses Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never found anything that won id give him such quick relief.
