Chill and Fever
Remedy
Tlierc being such a great demand
for Fever remedies in this country,
I have been making a special study
of the different remedies used in
malarial troubles ever since I have
been in the drug business. I de
termined last Fall upon putting up
some preparation that would cure
the majority of cases of Fever,
Ague, Chills, etc., and that w.uld
take the place of a great nurUDer of
Northern and Western Fever and
Ague remedies, believing that one
living in this section is capable of
preparing something that is better
for the peculiar class of fever and
the debilitating condition of the
system that prevails during the
Summer months. I have far ex
ceeded nay expectations— Last
Spring X began to manufacture
JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC.
Si’.iec which time I have put up
nud sold several thousand bottles,
and it nss neveb failed to cure
in a single instance. Meeting
with this unprecedented success I
feel pcrfectlv .safe in placing a
GUARANTEE upon EVERY bot
tle ; so, when it is taken according
to the directions nnd it does not ef
fect a cuto the money will be re
funded.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
Dr. Talmage’s sermon on
“Medicine for All 111” was found
ed on tlie text, “And His disci
ples came and took up the body
and buried it, and went and told
j Jesus.”—Mathew xiv 12. Fol
lowing is the sermonJn full:
An outrageous assassination
had just taken place. To ap
pease a revengeful woman Herod
had ordered the death, of that
noble, self-sacrificing, Christian
man, John the Baptist. The
disciples wore in great trouble.
There was no court to which
they could make appeal. But
grief must havo utterance, and
if there be no sympathetic ear
to hear it then it must be cried
aloud to the winds and the
woods and the waters. But
there was an ear ready to listen.
What beauty of pathos and what
wonderful picture in the words
of my text: “They went and
told Jesus!” Ho was ready to
listen and He was ready to as
suage their grief. We see Christ
standing, His own face shadow
ed with His own sorrow, sur
rounded by n group of disciples
in violent gesticulation, with
many tears and with great out-
cty of woe. Raphael, with skill
full hand putting upon the wall
of a pallace a picture bf Bible
story, was not so skillful ns the
plain hand of the evangelist, as
he puts upon canvas the ‘sketch
of the text: They “went ana told
Jesus.” Can it bo that you have
never tested
the power of’temptatiox?
You have one kind of tempta
tion; you, another; you, another.
There is not a person in the
house hut has been tempted
whether you realize it or not.
I never like to hear a man say:
“O, I couldn’t ho tempted the
way that man is.” He could not
be tempted the way you are. A
lion cannot understand why a
fish should be caught with a
hook, and the fish cannot under
stand why the Hon should be
caught with a trap. You may he
keys of St. Peter there is
reason why I should stoop a
longer.” So hi3 crutches
cone and he was well. Oh,
suggestive of temptation)
seems at one time to be
and weak and crippled,
give it a throne and it beco
a tyrant to grind your soul
ruin.
Well, now say: “AH persons
being tempted, what are wo to
do when we are
ASSAILED OF TEMPTATION?
When the wave dashes
against us, is there nothing to
hold on to? Is a man to go into
this war with the word, the flesh
nnd the devil, with no help?” I
will tell you, my friends: The
wisest thing for you to do in
the day of temptation is, like
these disciples of my text, to go
and tell Jesu3. In the eyes
that wept with the Bethany
sisters I see shining hope. In
that voice that broke the silence
of tho tomb until tho widow of
Nain got hack hpr son and
stupendous sorrow made up in
arms of rapture—aye, in that
voice—I hear the command and
the promise: “Cast the burden
on the Lord, and Ho will sus
tain thee.” He knows all about
temptation. Tempted in all
points like ns we are. Go and
tell Jesus.
Again, commend this beha
vior of the disciples in my text,
to all those who are slandered
efore all Christiandom, his
is name higher than any other
me, except the “name that is
above eVery other name,” the
.name of Jesns, and can you ex
pect to expect to escape hard
ship and assault and abuse and
under? You will not.
"But what are you to do when
ied about and assault-
you going to hunt up
the .slander? While you are
explainnig one falsehood there
will be fifty people who have
just that moment heard of that
particular falsehood. While you
are not to omit every opportuni
ty of setting yourself right, I
want to tell you of one who had
the hardest things said about
him, whose sobriety was dispu
ted, whose mission was scoffed,
whose companionship was de
nounced, who was pursued as a
bake, spat on as a man and
howled at after he was dead. Go
to Him with all the wounds of
your soul. Do not go arount
trying to crush this falsehood
and to crush that slander, you
will only come out of the con
test irritated and exasperated;
but take the counsel of the text.
Do as these disciples of the text
did.

to help, ever near—near before

nearer than the staff on which you
lean, nearer than the cupyou press

Blessed bo God! the One to
whom these disciples went lias all
power in heaven and on earth, and
He will, at just the right time,
balk our calamities; and at just
the right time, in the presence of
an applauding earth and a re
sounding heaven, will raise our
dead. O, I preach Him an al

who went to sea with her father, a
sea-captain, and when the first
storm came in the midnight the
little child awakened nnd rushed
out in great fright, and cried:
‘Where’s father? Where’s father?
Then they told her the futile* was
on dock and that he was guiding
the ship, and he was watching the
storm; and she said: “Well, if
father’s on deck, then I’ll go to
sleep.” So she went to sleep.

Yon will see some aged man
arise in a prayer meeting, and
at eighty years of age he talks
so sweetly of Christ and heaven,
you say: “That man has lived
without temptation.” Ask him.
He has os many temptations at
eighty years of age as ho had at
twenty. They are only differ
ent styles of temptation. Ask
that aged man whether he lias
lived beyond tlie reach of the
powers of darkness in this world,
and he will say it has been a
conflict all the way through.
