The most Christ \n revenge we can
:ake upon our enemies is to do them a
kindness; for to return malice for mal
ice and Injury tot Injury will afford but
temporary gratification to our evil
•'.asions, and our enemies will only be
-udered the more bitter against us.
i t to take the first opportunity of do
• ag them a kindness or rendering them
xerrlce, the sting of reproach will en
:«r deeply their soul; and, while to us
will be a noble retaliation, our tri
inph w.ll not infrequently be render
ri complete, not only by blotting out
.10 malice that had otherwise stood
ugainat us, but by bringing repentant
oarta to offer themselves at the shrine

no. Will it cure every case ?
No. What cases will it cure
then ? Those in their earlier

Scott's Emulsion
of Cod-liver oil with Hypo

in these cases results in a
positive cure to a large num
