most successful remedy for stomach
troubles everintroducd. It Immediately
relieves all pain and distress after eat

makes the weak strong. The fact is,
foods properly digested are better than
so called tonics. The Cordial not only
contains food already digested, but is a
digester of other foods. Food that is
not digested does more harm than good.
People who use the Cordial insure the
digestion of what food they eat and in
this way get the benefit or it ana grow

Sunday-school will be organized at
this place next Sunday. We do ear
nestly hope that all the people will
turn out and make a united effort to up
hold the school, for there is nothing
more enlightening to a community
especially in a religious line, than
Sunday-school. If parents could only
realizo that their children would go
somewhere and engage in amusement
of some kind on the Sabbath, and that if
they were not learning something good
they would be learning something oad,
they would certainly be aroused on
ibis subject. Solomon tells us to "train
up a child in the way he should go; and
w hen he is old he will not depart from
it." Where can we find a better place
to train the rising generation than in
the Sunday-school?
