Constipation

Demands prompt treatment. The re- sults of neglect may be serious. Avoid all harsh and drastic purgatives, the tendency of which is to weaken the bowels. The best remedy is Ayer’s Pills. Being purely vegetable, their retion is prompt and their effect always beneficial. They are an admirable Liver and After-dinner pill, and every- where endorsed by the profession.

** Ayer’s Pills are highly and univer- sally spoken of by the people about here. make daily use of them in my practice.’”’— Dr. I. E. Fowler, Bridge- port, Conn.

“IT can recommend Ayer’s Pills above

_ all others, having ang proved their

valne as a cathartic for myself and + family.’’— J.T. Hess, Leithsville, Pa.

‘‘For several years Ayer’s Pills have

, been used in my family. We find them

for constipation and indigestion, and are never without them in the house.”’ — Moses Grenier, Lowell, Mass.

“T have used Ayer’s Pills, for liver troubles and indigestion, during roany years, and have always found them premrt and efficient in their action.’’—

. N. Smith, Utica, N. Y

“T suffered from constipation which assumed such an obstinate form that I feared it would cause a stoppage of the bowels. Two boxes of Ayer’s Pills ef- fected a complete cure.’’>—D. Burke, Saco, Me.

‘“‘T have used Ayer’s Pills for the past thirty years and consider them an in- valuable family medicine. I know of no better remedy for liver troubles, and have always fourd them a aoowae cure for dyspepsia.’’— James Quinn, $ Middle st., Hartford, Conn.

‘Having been troubled with costive- ness, which seems inevitable with per- sons of sedentary habits, I have tried Ayer’s Pills, hoping for relief. I am

tter than any other medicine. I arrive at this conclusion only after a faithful trial of their merits.’’— Samuel T. Jones, Oak st., Boston, Mass.

Why Bo We Keep ¢hristmas?

Berore another issue of THe EXaMINER reaches our readers, another Christmas Day will have come and gone. Great cathedrals will have resounded to the tones of the mighty organ, while thousands of voices chant the song of Peace and Good Will zhich has awakened joyful responses in faithful hearts fur nearly nineteen cen- turies. The rich and noble of many lands will kneel where their forefathers for many generations have knelt, while the light from ‘*storied windows” bathes them in its soft, rich glow; and in many a lowly village church the poor and bumble will have as- sembled to offer their mite to the Giver of all good gifts. Various as are the ranks of those who make their offerings of praise aad thanksgiving, still more various are the modes in which they make them. Some use the gorgeous ritual and svlemn ceremonial of the Eastern or Roman Church, while others offer them in plain buildings, where the only beautiful things that meet the senses are the love-illumined faces of humble worshippers.

We are so accustomed to give our Christ- mas greetings when boughs are laden with snow, and to hear the answer ring out mer- rily through the frosty air, that we find it hard to realize that the same words are echoing through the balmy flower-perfumed air of southern climes, or uttered in loving tones by those who have made their homes under the burning sun of the torrid zone. But church is not the only, nor, at least among Teutonic races, the chief pine where Christmas is celebrated. It is essen tially the Homme Festival. Even as we write, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, have their minds filled with plans for mak- ing to-morrow a happy day for those they love. Whether on the lonely country side, or in the bustling streets of the great city, willing feet are running to and fro on errands of love, and ready hands are busied about deeds of kindness. To-morrow, in thousands of homes, united families will gather round the table and partake of fare which, however comparatively rich or homely, has been specially provided and prepared for the occasion. Gifts, simple and poor mauy of them may be valued in the currency of this world but made rich by the love of the donors and the gratitude of those who receive them, will be inter- changed.

The day will be kept by a!l children, and all who are child-like in heart, with

* Quips and quirks and wanton wiles,

With nods and becks and wreathed smiles.’, Fathers and mothers, too, will lay aside for Le time the cares that are beginning to silver their hair and furrow their brows, to share in the merriment of their little ones.

Already messages of love and congratula- tion are being carried across land and sea to absent dear ones, and though many have reached the shore from which no message ever returns, still the memories of other Christmas days bring with them, to those who are left behind, a sweet assurance that those who were so closely united here can- not long be kept asunder, and a feeling that we may not even now be so very far apart.

But to return to the question which heads this article. Why is the day kept with joyous anthem and glad thanksgiving, and with the yet more acceptable worship of lovingdeedsand kind words / Nearly nine- teen hundred yearsago, in an obscure village of a conquered country,a child was born to parents who were among the poorest of their race. For thirty years this child was but once heard of. For about three years he led the life of a wandering missionary, hated by the leaders of his own people, despised by their rulers. At the end of the three years the governor of the pro- vince in which he lived, urged by the fan- aticism of his own countrymen, put him to a painful and a shameful death.

And yet it is in honor of this helpless babe, this wandering teacher, this crucified Nazarene, that praise and thanksgiving are offered up to-day. To Him the whole heart of Christendom goes out in one mighty throb of love and gratitude. And why !

He never used it for His own good oF for the injury of another.

Because, where other men saw only the sinful mau or woman, He discerned beneath much that was corrupt a nature capable of becoming pure and noble and by His con- fidence in the good and His love of the sinner nougished what was at first but 4 ‘feeble germ till it had grown strong enough | to overcome the evil which had grown up as rank weeds around it. | Because He tor8 off the fair mask and

Gisplayel to the tortured eye tre moral

Because, while He possessed great power, -

Because He never turned adeaf ear to the | ery of the afflicted or refused his aid to | those who needed it.

ugliness and corruption wh ch beneath the beautiful outsice. Because he shed a new light upon a» n- fused new life into the preeepis avi mands which had long gue ani con trolied His nativn and reveale. ft) to om a God who asked mercy, and ):0¢ sacrifice, who was not the God of the Jew alone,*but the Father of all mankind.

Because He strengthened a dawning faith in immortality and taught that this world and the things of this world are not worthy of all the labor and cannot satisfy the desires of man.

Because He united in His own person purty and truth, strength and gentleness, bravery and meekness.

Is it, then, only the Son of Mary, the Master of Peter, and James, and John, the friend of Mary and Martha, the Forgiver of the Magdalene, the healer of the sick and compassionator of the multitudes of weary and heavy-laden suuls, for whose sake our praises will be offered up to-morrow ¢ Most of our readers, we think, velieve tha: He was something more than this—that He had and has the power of communicating His life to those who desire to imitate it; ‘that He is the Saviour and Redeemer, as well as the teacher and pattern of men. Whatever cur creed may be, it is surely guod that with hearts filled with love and sympathy we recognize one another as

y fes’ering

ehildren of one Father and brethrea of Christ, and wish one and all A Murry CHRISTMAS.

She received the remark very coolly, and at the next lesson sang as badiy as before. “*I am afraid,” said Mr. Eichburg, **that you can never learn tosing in tune.” ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter,” was the surprising reply. “Doesn't matter!” said the astonished teacher. ‘*No,” said the pupil. ‘1 don’t care anything about music, but my doctor said that singing would be the best thing for my dyspepsia, end so I decided to tule heeeovns.
