.See these two children now trudging to
tt, iittle stream near by, quite resolved up
ki !iavin a Cue rocking in father's canoe.
';.;. i::eer boat, made of bark, and sharp
at both ends was tied to a stake. .Now that
tiie stream was swollen and flowing on so
!'i-t. it was line fun to sir, one in each end
a:id set "louueed about," as Winnifred

" uu ppt in first, bacuse you're the Ht-i:e-i,"

away from the splashing water with one
l aud, and pulling the boat cloac to the shore
R i;h the other.
".No you get in first, 'cause you'm a

I iu going to take off my toos and tockies

Nat could say shoos and stockings quite
plainly when he chose, but everybody said
"t . .i and tockies" to him ; so he looked
hi "ii ilvse words, and many other crooked
"ii'--, as a Krt of language of Nat, which
a'i tli world would ?pcak if tbcv only knew

fi.'s wa early in the morning. Mother
wis v-.-ry buy in the cabin, clearing away
ttc breakfast dishes, sweeping the room,
tiiak::' beds, mixing bread, beating the
"V'.n. .ml doing a dozen other things. At
t he took a plate of crumbs and scraps,
a'i! w-.-iit out to feed the chickens.
"Winnie! Natl" she called, as die step
I -! out upon the rough door stone. "Come
l t":.e chickens !" Then added, in a sur
1 way, to herself: "Why, where in
ok-world can those children be? They
i'in i.rtvc stopped at the new clearing to
s-e their father."
At dinner time she blew the big tin horn
bat hung by the door, and soon her hus
tat.J came home, alone, hungry and tired.
"O. you little witches 1" laughed the
i'! other, without looking up froai her task
of bread cutting. "How could you ?tay
away so long from niamnra ? Tired c rant
' Yes, very. But what do you mean?
herewr the youngsters?"
be looked up now, and instantly exclaim
el in a frightened Toicc, as'she ran out past
her husband :
"0, Frank ! I've not seen them for two
or three hours ! 1 thought to be sure they
tre with you. They surely wouldn't have
stayed all this time in the boat ?"
He followed her, and they both ran to the
stream. Ia an instant, the mother, hast
ing on ahead through the bushes, screamed
back :
"O, Frank 1 Frank ! Ihe loot is goner
All that day, and the next, and the next
they searched. They followed the stream,
and at last found the boat but it was emp
ty ! In vain the father and mother and
their only neighbor wandered through the
forest in eTery direction calling: "Winnie!
Winnie ! Nat 1 Nat!" In vaiu the neigh
bor took the boat and explored the stream
for miles and miles no trace could be found
of the poor little creatures, who, full of life
and joy, bad so lately jumped into their
father's canoe to "have a rock."
Where were they? Alas thy did not
themselves know. They only knew that
they had been awakened suddenly by a great
thump, and when they jumped out of Jtlie
canoe and started to go home everything
was different. There vai no footpath, no
clearing where trees had been cut down, no
sound of father's axe nearby, nor of moth
er s song and the stream was rushing on
very angrily over its rocky bed. The canoe
which had broken loose, and bore on by the
current, floated away with them miles and
miles from the stake, was wedged between
two great stones when they jumped out of
it ; but now it was gone the waters had
taken it away. After a while in their dis
tracted wanderings, they could not even
find the etrcam, though it seemed to be
Daring in all directions around them.
Now they were in the depths or the for
est, wandering about tired, hungry and
frishtened. For two nights they had cried
themselves to sleep in each other's amis
under the black trees ; and as the wind
moaned through the branches, Winnie had
prayed God to save them from the wolves
and the Indians, and little Nat had scream
ed. "Papa! Mamma!" sobbing as if his
heart would break. All they had to cat was
a few sweet red berries that grew close to
the ground. Every hour the poor children
grew fainter and fainter, and at last, Nat
couldn't walk at all.
"I'm too tired an t sick," he! said, "and
my feet's all tut. My toos and tockies is in
the beat. 0, Winnie! Winnie!" lie would
cry with a great sob, "why don't ruatiima
'n' papa come? O! if mamma'd only come
and bring uie some bread !"
"Don't cry, dear, don't cry," Winnie
would sas over and over nraiu. '"I'll find
ome more red berries soon ; and God will
show us the way home. I Avioto be will.
Only don't cry, Nat, because it take3 away
all my courage."
"All your what?" asked Nat, looking
wildiy at her, as if he thought courage was
something they could eat. -
'All my courage, Nat." And then, after
searching in vain lor more red berries, sb
would throw herself upon her knees and
moan :
'Dear Father in Heaven. I can't find
anything more for Nat to eat. OU ! jAram
show us the wav home !"
What was that quick sound coming to
ward them? The underbrush was so thick
Winnie could not see what caused it, but
she held her breath in terror, thinking of
wolves and Indian, for there were plenty
of both, she knew, lurking about in those
great forests.
The sound ceased for a moment. Seizing
Nat in her arms, she made one more frantic
elFort to find her way to the stream, then
seeing a strange look in the poor little face
when she put him down to take a better
hold, she sercamed :
"Nat! Nat! Don't look so! Kiss Win
nie
'Hello, there!" shouted a voice through
the underbrush, and in another instant a
great stout man came stamping and break
ing his way through the bushe3.
"Hello, there! What on airth'a up now?
Kf old Joe ha' n't come upon queer game
this time. Two sick youngsters starving
too, by Josh ! Here, you youngsters, eat
some uv this 'ere, and give an account uv
yoursjives.
With these words, he drew from some
where among the heavy folds of his hunting
dress a couple of biscuit.
The children grasp at them frantically.
"Holdup! Not so smart!" he said;
'You must have a little at a time for an
hour yet. Here, sis, give me the baby, I'll
feed hi iu ; and as for you, jest sec that you
don't worn'n niUJe."
"Oh ! give me a drink !" cried .Winnie,
swallowing the cracker in two bites, and for
an instant forgetting Nat.
The man pulled a canteen or flat tin flask
from bis belt and gave her a swallow of
water ; then he hastened to moisten Nat s
lips and feed him crumb after crumb of the
broken biscuit.
"Another hour," he muttered to himself,
as be gently fed the boy and smoothed back
the tangled yellow hair from the pale little
face, "another hour and he'd bin past men.
din."
Winnie looked up quickly.
"Is he going to die?" she asked.
"Not he," said the man; 'he'll come
through right end up yet. Hi's got a fever
on him, but we'll soon knock that under.
How'd you get here, little gal?"
Winnie told her story, all the while feel
ing a glad certainty at her heart that their
troubles were over. The strange man car
ried a gun and he had a big pistol and an
axe and a knife in his belt. He looked very
fierce, too, yet she knew be would not harm
her. She had seen many a trapper before
since she came to the West, and though
this man looked very errand and wore a won
derful hunting dress all embroidered and
fringed, and a big hat and yellow leggins,
she felt sure he was the very trapper who
had been at her father's cabin a few weeks
before and taken supper, and warmed him
self before the fire, while he told wonderful
stories about Indians, and furs, and about
having many a time had 'fifty mile o' traps
out on one stretch.'
She remembered, too, that her father had
told her the next day that trappers lived by
catching with traps all sorts of wild animals,
and stlliug their furs to the traders, and
that this particular trapper bad been very
successful and had great influence among
the Indians one of the big men of Colora
do, as be said.
These thoughts running through her
mind now as she told bow they had been
lost for three whole days and two nights,
and at gigbt of Nat falling peacefully asleep
on the trapper's shoulder, made her feel so
happy that she suddenly broke forth with
"O Mr. Trapper ! lean run now. Let's
go right home."
The stars came out one by one that night.
and winked and blinked at a strange figure
stalking through the forest. He had a
sleeping child on each arm, and yet carried
bis gun ready to fire at an instant's notice.
"Well, old Joe, you've bagged all sort o'
game in this 'ere forest, and trapped "most
everything agoin," but you ain't never had
such a rare bit o' luck as this. No wonder
I stood there on the edge of the timber
land, listening to I didn't know what. Rec-
on here's a couple o' skins now'll be putty
popular at one market 'tany rate fetch
most any price you could name but I'll let
'em go cheap ; all the pay I want for these
'ere critters is just to hear the kisses of them
poor frightened Hello ! there a light!
What, ahoy! Neighbor, hello I hello!"
"Got 'em both !" he shouted, as three
figures, twe men and a woman, came in sight
through the starlight. "All right, got 'cm
oth."
The children are awake now. What sobs,
what laughter, what broken words of love
and joy fall upon the midnight air! And
through all, W innie, wondering and thrilled
with strange happiness, is saying to herself:
"I knew God would show us the way
home!"
A Pneumatic Tuba 400 Miles Long1.
Few persons in this country were aware,
we are sure, that a pneumatic tube is work
ing betwevn Glasgow and London, but the
following letter from Glasgow to a Boston
gentleman shows that there is one :
"I had occasion to send a telegram t ) Lon
don the other day, and in a few minutes re
ceived a reply which led me to suppose that
a serious error had been committed , by my
agents, involving many thousand pounds. I
immediately wen,t to the telegraph office and
asked to see my message. The clerk said,
'We can't sb-jw it to you, as we have sent it
to London.' 'But,' I replied, 'you must
have my original paper here; I wish to see
that.' He again said, 'No, we have not got
it, it is in the post oflice at London.' 'What
do you mean?' I asked. 'Pray let mo see
the paper I left here half an hour ago.'
'Well,' said he, 'if you must see it we will
get it back in a few minutes, but it is now in
London.' lie rang a bell, and in five min
utes or so produced my message rolled up in
pasteboard. It seems that for some months
thre has existed a pneumatic telegraph be
twixt Glasgow and London and betwixt Lon
don and other principal cities of the king
dom, which consists of an iron tube, into
which the messages are thrown and sent to
their destination. I inquired if I might see
a message sent. 'Oh yes ; come around
here.' He slipped a number of messages
into the pasteboard scroll, popped it into the
tube and made a signal. I put my ear to
the tube and heard a slight rumbling noise
for seventeen seconds, when a bell rang be
side me, indicating that the scroll had arri
ved at the general post ofllce, four hundred
miles off! It almost took my breath away
to think of it. If I could only go to Boston
with the same relative speed, you might
count on my passing an evening every week I
at No. 124 Beacon street, and returning
home to sleep. Who knows but we may be
conveyed in this marvelous manner before
many years? Perhaps you are aware that
there has been a large tube between the
general post ofllce in London and the station
in Euston square in operation for a number
of years. The mail bags for the north are
all sent by this conveyance, so that the post
office receives letters up to a few minutes
before the train leaves, three miles off. The
transit takes less than two seconds. Surely
thisis an age of wonders."
Ct'Rlors Tmxos to Know. Besides
the fact that ice is lighter than water, there
is another curious thing about it which per
sons do not know, perhaps namely, its
purity. A lump of ice, melted, will always
become purely distilled water. When the
early navigators of the Arctic seas got out
of water they melted fragments of those
vast mountains of ice called icebergs, and
were astonished to find that they only yield
ed fresh water. Tbey thought that they
were frozen salt water, not knowing that
they were formed on the land, and in some
way launched into the sea. But if they bad
been right, the result would have been all
the same. The fact is, the water, in freezintr,
turns out of it all that is not water salt,
air. coloring matter, and all impurities.
Frozen sea water makes fresh water ice. If
you freeze a basin of indigo water, it will
make it as pure as that made of pure rain
water. hen the cold is very sudden,
these foreign matters bave no time to es
cape, either by rising or sinking, and are
thus entangled with, the ice, but do not
form any part of it.
A California paper gives the following as
a regular bill of fare at a Chinese restaurant
in that city: cat cutlet, 25 cents; griddled
rats, 6 cents ; dog soup, 12 cents ; roast dog,
18 cents ; dog pie, 6 cents.
The Walls of China.
All the cities of China are surrounded by
high, strong walls, whose massive propor
tions a stranger has no idea of until be sees
them. The walls surrounding the city of
Pekin are from twenty-two to twenty-five
miles in length, and on an average fifty feet
high. This wall is sixty feet thick at the
bottom, and fifty-four at the top, and on,ce
in a few yards there are immense buttresses
to give it still greater strength. At every
fifth buttress the wall for the space of oue
hundred and twenty six feet in length, is two
hundred and fifty six feet in thickness. In
several places the foundation of this wall is
of marble, and when the ground is uneven,
immense quantities of cement, as durable
nearly as granite, and about as hard, has
been used to level up the ground. The main
body of this wall is made of bricks each
twenty inches Ions, ten inches wi le, and five
inches thick. These bricks are burned very
hard, and bave precisely the appearance of
stone.
On the inside of this wall, as well as on
others in other cities,are esplanades, or star
ways, with gates to them for ascending them.
And over all the gateways there are immense
towers, as large as preat churches, aud veiy
much higher, constructed of these great
burnt bricks. On the top of this immense
wall there is a railing both on the outside
and inside, coming up to a man's waist,
which railing itself is a wall, thus giving a
sense of security to a person walking on the
top. The outside railing is made into tur
rets, for the use of cannon, in case of attack.
The entire top of the wall is covered with
strong burned brick, twenty inches square,
resembling the flagging of our sidewnlkffin
large cities, only, as I have said, these walls
are fifty-four feet wide.
There is no way of getting into the city,
only to go through this immense wall. And
wherever there is a gate for the purpose of
getting through, there is another wa!l built
incloi-ing a square space, compelling all per
sons who go into the city to go through two
walls, by passages at right angles to each
other. The wails are so immensely thick
that these passages through them, arched j
over cut stone, remind one exactly of our
railroad tunnels in the United States. At
each of these great archways there is an
enormous gate made of strong timbers, eve
rywhere as much a ten inches thick, and
covered on both sides with plates of iron;
like "the sides of cur war sliipa These
gates are shut early in the cvcning.generally
before sundown, and are not allowed to be
opened during the night for nny purpose.
They ars fastened on the inside by means of
strong beams of timber. .
The town of Muncy has a poet. And the
particular difficulty with him at (his moment
is that he is dreadfully in love with a red
haired girl who lives down near the depot,
and who was baptized Henrietta. A short
time ago be thought he would show how ar
dent bis affection for her was. So he sent
to the village paper a poem supposed to have
been written at tie tomb of Henrietta, who
was presumed to be dead. This poem was
entitled "Thoughts by the grave of II."
The last line read this way:
'We will hallow her lore with our tears.''
The author went to bed that night absolute
ly certain that Henrietta was his own. If
this poem didn't wilt I'er.proud heart, then
the young man intended to blow out his
brains with a horse-pistol. He made a rush
for the newspaper just after day break the
next morning. The poem read smooth
enough until the last line was reached, which
had assumed this horrible shape:
'We will barrow bcr grare with our stecrs.:'
Mad! Why, he.weut "raring" around that
houc like a concentrated lunatic asylum;
and, what was worse, Henrietta's brother
called right after breakfast with a club, and.
learning that the poet had left in the early
train for the far west, he sent a dispatch to
meet him at Omaha, stating that he would
burst him into vulgar fractions if he ver
came back to Muncy. There's nothing half
so steep in life as love's young dream. No
cards.
A good story is told concerning a visit
made several years ago by a party of promi
nent Itcpublicans of Delaware to President
Lincoln. Our Delaware friends, with a
proper apprecir tion of their position as rep
resentative gentlemen of the party, inform
ed the President that they were all influen
tial citizens, and among the heavy men of
the upper end of Delaware. "So you be
long to the 'upper end' of the State?" re
flected Mr. Lincoln, with a roguish twinkle
in bis eye, and then with a look of earnest
solicitude inquired, "Is there no danger of
the State tilting while you are away?" The
party had a good laugh over this joke at
their expense, but nevertheless resolved that
it should not be suffered to leak out at home.
It was too good to be kept, however, and
the surest way to rile one of these "heavy
men" is to ask him, when about departing
from home, if he is not afraid the State will
tut. .,
A short time ago in Delaware county a
Quaker lady, a maiden who had reached the
age of sixty, accepted the offer of a man who
belonged to the "world's people" and the
Presbyterian church, and began to prepare
for her wedding. As usual, a delegation of
friends from her meeting waited on her and
remonstrated with her for marrying out of
meeting. The bride elect heard the visitors
patiently,and then said : "Look here ! I've
been waiting just sixty years for the meeting
to marry me ; and if the meeting don't like
me to marry out of it, why don't the meet
ing trot along its boys?" The delegation
replied "'Farewell!" and vanished.
A Mother's Sorrow.
A company of ladies, assembled in a par
lor, were one day talking about their differ
ent troubles. Each oue had something to
say about her own trials. But there was
one in the company, pale and sad looking,
who for awhile said nothing. Suddenly
rousing herself at last, she said :
"My friends, you don't any of yon know
what trouble is."
"Will you please, Mrs. Gray," said the
kind voice of one who knew her story, "tell
the ladies what you call trouble?"
"I will if you desire it; for, in the words
of the prophet, 'I am the one who hath seen
aflliction.' "
"My parents were very well off and my girl
hood was surrounded by all the comforts of
life. Every wish of my heart was gratified
and I was cheerful and happy.
"At the age of nineteen, I married one
whom I loved more than all the world beside.
Our home was retired ; but the sun never
shone upon a lovelier spot or a happier
household. Years rolled on peacefully,
live lovely children sat around our table,
and a little curly head still nestled in my
bosom. One night, about sundown, a fierce
black storm came on. For many hours the
rain poured down incessantly. Morning
dawned. But all the elements raged. The
country around us was overflowed. The
little streams near our dwelling became a
foaming torrent. Before we were aware of
it, our house was surrounded by water. I
managed, with my babe.to reach a little ele
vate I spot, where the thick foliage of a few
wide-spreading trees afforded some protec
tion, while my husband and sons strove to
save whatn hey could of our proporty. At
last a fearful surge swept away my husband
and he never rose again. Ladies, no one
ever loved a husband more ; but that was
not trouble.
"Presently my sons saw their danger' and
the struggle for life became the only con
sideration. They were as brave, loving boys
as ever blessed a mother's heart, and I
watched their efforts to escape, with such
agony as only mothers can feel. They were
so far off that I could not speak to them ;
but I could see them closing nearer and
nearer to each other, as their little island
grew smaller and smaller.
"The swollen river raged fearfully around
the huge trees. Dead, branches,, upturned
trunks, wrecks of houses, drowning cattle,
and masses of rubbish, all went floating past
us. My boys waved their hands to me and
then pointed upward. I knew it was their
farewell sigual, and you, mothers, can imag
ine my anguish. I saw them perish all
perish I Yet that Was not trouble.
"I hugged my babe close to my heart ;
and when the water rose to my feet, I clim
bed into the low branches of the tree, and so
kept retiring before it, till the hand of God
stayed the waters that they should rise no
further. I was saved. All my worldly pos
sessions were swept away, all my earthly
hopes blighted. Yet that was not trouble.
"My babe was all that I had left on earth.
I labored day and night to support him and
myself, and sought to train him in the right
way ; but as he grew older, evil companions
won him away from me. He ceased to care
for his mother's counsels. He would sneer
at her kind entreaties and agonizing prayers.
He became fond of drinking. He left my
bumble roof, that he might be unrestrained
in his evil ways. And at last, one night,
when heated by wine, he took the life of a
fellow creature. He ended his days upon
the galbws ! God had filled my cup of sor
row before; now it ran over. That was
trouble, my friends, such as I hope the Lord
in mercy may spare you from every know
ing."
Boys, girls, can you bear to think that
you might bring sorrow on your dear father
or mother ! If you would not, be on your
guard against the Giant Intemperance.
Let! wine and intoxicating liquors alone.
Never touch them.
Adam's Wedding.
An English Journal, the Brittannia has
an amusing article under the head of "Ad
am's Wedding." The editrr says he likes
short courtships, and in this Adam acted
like a sensible man he fell asleep, a bachel
or, and awoke to find himself a married man.
He appears to have "popped the question"
immediately after meeeing Ma'mselle Eve ;
and she without any flirtation or shyness,
gave him a kiss and herself. Of that first
kiss in the world we had, however our own
thoughts, and sometimes in poetical mood
have wUhed we were the man that did it!
But the deed is or was done; the chance was
Adam's and he improved it. We like the
notion of getting married in a garden it is
in good taste. We like it private. No beaux
were there, no croaking old maids, no chat
tering aunts, and grumbling grandmothers.
The birds of heaven were minstrels,and the
glad sky shed its light upon th scene. One
thing about the first wedding brings queer
things into our heads, in spite of Scriptural
truth. Adam and his wife were rather
young to be married some two or three
years old according to the sagest specula
tions of ' theologists mere babies larger,
but not older without a house, a pot or
Settle nothing but love and Eden.
A poor fellow begins to go down hill, and
as usual in such cases, he keeps on until he
retches the bottom. Then people begin to
say, "God's hand is very hevy on so and
so," when in fact God has no hand upon
him at all. It is only the feet of hard
hearted rascals who ought to be his friends,
that have been kicking him from step to
step dewnward.

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat, and
eonuaticg of three parts, viz : the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.-
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve a a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterier. The exte
rior is i conductor also, terminating In single
tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder ia composed of varloes coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the TJpeer, the
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mueous. The apzer
expels, the lower retains. Many have desire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. Thii fre-jaently oeenrs
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into" ac
tion the mescles, which are engaged in their va
f ieus functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it ii rare to affect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our fleas:
and blood are supported from these soaroes.
Goer, or RnEi MATiSH. Pain occurring In the
loins ia indicative of the above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach ar
chalky concretion
Tin Gravel. The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water ia not expelled froia
the bledder, but allowed to remain; it beoomea
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the atone is formed", and gravel ensues.
Diiorsr is a collection of water in some parte of
the body, and bearsjdifferent names, aooording to
the parte affected, vi? when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of the
Abdomen, Ascites; when of (h chest, Hydrotho-'
rax.-
Treatwest. Helm hold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Bnchd Is decidedly one of the
beet remedies fer diseases ef the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism ,and goaty
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysnrie, or difficulty and pain in passing water',
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent disehsr
gesof water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
Hematuria, or bloody mine ; Gout and Rhenas
tism of the kidneys, without any change ls quan
tity, bat increase in color, or dark water. It wee
always highly recommended by the Isrto Dr.
Phyaick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healthy exereies
by which the watery or calcareous depositions
and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pais
and inflammation are reduced, and it is takes by
men, women and children. Directions for see and
diet accompany;
Philadelphia, Pa., leb. M, 186?.
H. T, Helmbold, Druggist:
Dear Sir : I nave been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder sod kidney
affections, during which time I have seed various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment ef the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing bat little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I eonsnlted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had nsed all kinds ef ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and seme quite injurious; in fact, I despaired ef
ever getting well, and determined to use do rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It wss this that prompted me to see jour remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed ef buohu,
lubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
ith his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and consulting again with the druggist, I
eoneluded to try it. I commenced its use about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect and after
nsing it three weeks was able to walkout t felt
much like writing you a full statement of my case
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoneluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect euro,
knowing then it would be of greater value to yon,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a core is effected
after using the remedy for Sre months.
I have not used any now for three months, sad
feel as well ia all respects as t ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tenisand invigormtorof the
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its Use in such affections.
