Dropsy Neuralgia of the Heart For Years. Pain Went From Heart to Head. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine Cured. "About .three years ago my sister was so badly affected with heart trouble and neu ralgia of the heart that we did not expect her to live. Although we had a first-class phy sician she grew worse under ths treatment. She bad a swollen dropsical look and had frequent spelts of neuralgia pain at her heart when she would render the most heart-rend ing moans and shrieks. At times the pain would go from her heart to her head when a lump would appear on her temple half as large as an egg. One night she got up in bed and ran into the back yard crying with pain; she was not conscious of it, however, and was brought back to the house by neigh burs. I bought for her a bottle each of Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure which helped her greatly. She afterward used some five or sis bottles and has never had a spell since. I had used your medicine with great benefit mvMlf. I know (hat Nervine and Heart Cure Mt only saved my sister's life but also saved me from insanity and death. I was so nervous I could not bear the slightest noise or movement around me and I suffered from palpitation and pain in the heart. I had choking sensations, dizzy and faint spells, smothering spells when I could scarcely get my breath; I was so nervous I was treated like a child and at one time it was thought I was losing my mind. Nervine saved me from insanity."— KATlE ACKES, Clover Creek, Pa. All druggists sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies. Send for free book on Nrrvous and Heart Diseases.

The spirit of Christ is a spirit of seeking and searching. It is a spirit that cannot rest until success has crowned its efforts. Ask yourself, Is that the spirit of me? Yet we call our selves Christ's disciples. If people have lost their habit of going to church, what does it mean? It means that they are Buffering from a diminution of spiritual interest. Rev.

Our duty to put M the harness was never so great as today, that we may plant the religion of love on the basis of the higher philosophy of observa tion and experience, the basis upon which must rest all permanent and all future forces of society. It Is the form of religion which harmonizes best with the advancing civilization of this coun try. It is the true republicanism of Christianity, recommending to all na tions liberty, Justice and love.—Rev. Dr. Harris, Universallst, Worcester, Mans. A Thanksgiving Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame the mucous membranes lining the stom ach, producing a swelling uf'ter eating, heartburn, headache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cures the catarrah. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening the glands of the stomach. The School of Suffering. Suffering is a great school. We learn our best lessons In this school of suf fering. We learn, for instance, to love truth and to know it by suffering from errors. We learn to love righteousness as we suffer from sin. But the greatest lesson we learn from our experience In life is the great central lesson of obe dience. Do you know that It Is the hardest thing in the world for you and me to become obedient as we pass through the school of suffering? I have learned obedience by the things I have suffered. Not only do we learn the lesson of obedience In the school of experience and suffering, but we really develop and consolidate our character. —Rev. Dr. MacLaurln, Rochester, N. Y. Christ All SnOleiont. "Ye are complete in him." In Jesus you have power. In him you are ac cepted, In him dwells all the power that you need, and he puts the whole of it at your disposal. Yesterday, to day and tomorrow. What about that yesterday of mine? The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin, blots out that which Is past. That Is where faith must come in. You must rest on that. Take God at his word about It and trust him. What about my acceptance? When my life is abandoned to Christ, he takes me, and I become a part of himself, and all the wealth of his righteousness and all the beauty of his character belong to me In him, and in him God accepts me. We are accepted in the beloved And what about tomorrow? Christ stands in front of you and me, and he says, "Lo, I am with you all the days!" Found wanting! Here is completeness In him—pardon for the past, acceptance for the present and everything I need for the future.—Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, Evangelist, at Moody Insti tute, Chicago.

JENNINGS. j DYSPEPTIC6DE Th« grMtoit aid to DIGCSTION. HEALTHY SYMPTOMS. Indication* of Returning: Sanity In the Went on Tariff Revision. The first conspicuous indication of returning sanity among a number of western newspapers which have in the past year or two shown unmistakable evidences of aberration on the subject of tariff tinkering is exhibited in a re cent editorial leader in the Chicago Tribune, entitled "Looking For Trou ble. "It is in the Tribune's best style of straight out liepubllcanlsm and Is in refreshing contrast to the columns of weakkneed Mugwuinpery which the editorial writers of no called Republic an newspapers in Chicago are in the habit of inflicting upon their readers. It is an oasis of sound sense and good politics In a desert of "progressive" trash. "Mischievous or ignorant" is what the Tribune calls those "who are advocating the readjustment of the tariff and the disturbing of business interests and of the existing conditions which make for general prosperity." They are both mischievous and Igno rant—mischievous because they know, if they know anything, that they are taking liberties with prosperity and ig norant because they apparently do not know that In so doing they weaken their own party and strengthen the hands of Democrats and free traders. "What ails these chronic malcon tents and discontents?" asks the Trib une. "Are they distressed because of abounding prosperity?" Apparently they are. "Do they in a spirit of mal ice or recklessness long to experiment with another condition of affairs?" That is precisely what they long to do, exactly as the Tribune says, in the wanton spirit of the small boy who de faces public buildings, destroys pri vate property und tortures animals to give expression to his superabundant "cussedness." There are In Chicago and out In lowa a considerable nuin ber of Republican editors and politi cians who are Industriously engagt*] In this sort of "cussedness." The Trib une ostensibly addresses its remarks to calamity howlers of the Democratic persuasion, but they ilt the Republican "progressives" even 1 tetter. It Is not so long ago either that the Tribune It self was exhibiting "progressive" ten dencies quite marked In character. It is comforting and reassuring to find so able and influential a Republican newspaper urging everybody to "leave well enough alone" and adopting as Its own the splendid concept of Senator Galllnger that "prosperity Is the Issue, and all other questions are secondary." It is, as we have said, a healthy sign of returning sanity, a gratifying indi cation that the west is recovering from its tariff tinkering fever and Is getting back to normal Republican tempera ture. nonprotected Trunin. The assertion of the Tost that "some of the greatest trusts have no protec tion" prompts a correspondent to ask which of them we referred to. One of them Is the anthracite coal combine, a great and oppressive monopoly, whose product Is on the free list. Another is the Standard Oil combine, a trust that has been continuously and ferociously combated for many years, but has gone on piling tip Its protlts by hundreds of millions, meanwhile giving its patrons a good article at comparatively 6mall cost. This trust has no protection be cause the coal oil business has never needed and Is unlikely ever to need it. If all our Industries were situated In relation to foreign competition as an thracite coal and coal oil are, we should all be free traders, all In favor of the British system, "Tariff for revenue only;" but, fortunately for other coun tries, not all the bounties of nature are owned and possessed In the United States.—Washington Post The Difference. The difference between the Republic ans and the Democrats on what to do with trusts is told In a few words: The Republicans would regulate and con trol the trusts and hold onto prosper ity; the Democrats would kill the trusts and do away with prosperity.—Buffalo News. fTvl INCMCSTCR " "NEW RIVAL** Ibsssaoal FAOTORY LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLB Give these shells • thorough trial, and you will find them to be as nearly perfect as experience, ingenuity, brains and equipment can make them.

The real and true meaning of saved lis it is used in the church today means the salvation or saving from sin so that the world will be accepta ble In the sight of God.—Rev. H. L. Canfleld, Universallst, Belleville, O. The Divine Purpose. The sacrifices of the past reveal dim ly somewhat of the divine purpose for humankind, but they foreshadowed all too dimly the tremendous purpose of God. The gist of God's purpose is that all men may be saved.—Rev. M. P. Fikes, Baptist, Baltimore. Fullness •( the Gospel. In Christ we see all the fullness of the gospel, tbe glory he had with his Father. If Paul were alive today, he would not forget the unsearchable greatness and riches of his Saviour. When we see the beauties of his life, we do not see how condescending he was.—Rev. J. Povey, Congregational ism Detroit. A Striking Spiritual Life. As natural death Is the gate through which we pass into God's kingdom above, so death to sin initiates us into God's kingdom on earth. With many people the Christian life Is simply an orthodox creed or a -happy state of the emotions, but the apostle teaches us that tbe Christian life Is a striking spiritual life.—Rev. S. G. Neil, Baptist, Philadelphia. Chrlat the Liberator. How blind the world Is! Praying constantly for liberty, It has invariably despised the liberator. Jesus, although despised and rejected of men, came Into this world to make us free. He was the incarnation of God's love and wisdom. If it had not been for him, nothing like liberty would have dawned upon earth. —Rev. F. E. Hopkins, Con gregationalism Chicago. Chrlat'a Impressive Silence. Silence means much or little, accord ing to who it is that is silent and the occasion on which he is silent. There Is nothing in the New Testament more impressive than the silence of Jesus Christ. Silence pervades the greater part of his life. In the first thirty years we have only two momentary glimpses of him. God looks down upon the wickedness of the world in silence, Just as Jesus Christ waited during thirty long years without work ing a single miracle for tbe relief of suffering.—Rev. F. M. Goodchild, Bap tist New York. Weed a Larger Salvation. We have come to agree that salva tion Is a matter of character, and w« know that character has its root In heredity, that it 1s never simply good or bad, that It fluctuates from year to year. So we see that if Christ has to do with all human Ufe and destiny he must in some way operate within that infinitely complicated thing we call life. The world is prepared today to see more In Christ than it ever has In the past, because it sees more clearly the stupendous difficulty of the task he undertook. It welcomes the reve lation of the larger Saviour because It recognizes the need of a larger salva tion.—Rev. Dr. McConnell, Episco palian, New York. Ballt For Stormy Weather. The true church is not a holiday, sunny season pavilion. It was built for stormy weather and everyday use, and we who profess to be Christians need not fear to open wide the doors. All are brothers, equal in Christ and let us not forget that In the days to come tbe last shall be first and the first shall be last If the Son of God could step from bis lofty height to the lowest and vilest sinner, should we not go forward in the bonds of the broadest brotherhood, rejoicing to fulfill the Master's work? He was the friend of publican and sinner. He was and Is the friend of all and gave his life for all, and If we protend to follow him w« must be truly Inspired with the feeling his life has illustrated.—Rev. Dr. Un derbill, New York. Aula of ChrlittM Utli(. Judge not that y« be not Judged ■hould form the basis of Christian liv ing.
