Many of our leaders will remember
sad death of the mother which occurred
about four mouths since, leaving the
helpless babe to the care of the bereaved
father. The little one has joined tier m
that bright world where it will never
again know sorrow or pain. The nfiliot
ed father has the sympathy of the entire
community. The funeral services, con

Rochester, Pa. Dear Sir.— Last Februa
rv I received from you 11 bottle of your
Anti ’ote tor Malaria,and gave it to a young
lady attending schot 1 here, but who had
rot been well enough to go for several
weeks, and was quite luokeu down in
health. In a lew days after taking the
medicine she was back in schot 1 again,and

think it is the best medicine I ever knew.
