didn’t Know It Was Loaded.”
The young man fell dead !
A fri;nd had pointed a revolver at
him.
“He didn’t know it was loaded!”
We often hear it stated that a man
is not responsible for what he does
know. The law presupposes knowl¬
edge O and therefore convicjts the man
who excuses crime by ignorance!
“If I had only known” has often
been an unfortunate man’s apology
for some evil unknowingly wrought
but in a matter of general interest—
for instance that laudanum is .
a poi¬
son, that naphtha is a deadly explo¬
sive, that blooa heavily charged with
a winter’s accumulations of the waste
of tne system,—it is one’s duty to
know the fact and the consequences
thereof. Our goed old grandmothers
knew for instance, that the opening
of spring was the most perilous pe
riod of the year.
Why ?
Because then the blood stream is
sluggish and chilled by the cold
weather and if not thinned a good
deal and made to flow quickly and
healthfully through the arteries and
veins, it is impossible to have good
vigor the rest of the year. Hence,
without exception, what is now known
as Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparijla,
was plentifully made and religiously
£[iven 10 every member of the family
regularly through March, April, May
and June. It is a matter of record
that this prudential, preventive and
restorative custom saved many a fit
of sickness, prolonged life and hap¬
piness to a vigorous old age, and did
away with heavy medical expendi¬
tures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexing¬
ton, Ky., used Warner’s Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla “for nervous sick head¬
ache of which I had been a sufferer
for years. It has been a great ben¬
efit to me.” Capt. Hugh Harkins.
1114 S. 15th St., Philadelphia, Pa.,
says “it purified my blood, and re¬
moved the blotches from my skin.”
Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks
Co., Pa., says she “was entirely
cured of a skip, disease of the worst
kind,” by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla.
Bad skin indicates a very bad con¬
dition of the blood. 9
If you would live and be well, go
to your druggist to-day and get
Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and
take no other,—there’s nothing like
it or as good,—and completely reno¬
vate your impaired system with this
simple, {old-fashioned preparation ol
roots and herbs.
Warner,who makes the famous Safe
Cure, puts it up, and that is
tee of excellence all over the known

to the other members of the family ’
the children. You will be
astonished at its health giving and
life-prolonging powers. We say this
editorially with perfect confidence,
because we have heard good things
of it everywhere, and its name is a
guarantee that it is first class in

The same cannot be said of the prescrip.

sicians. Suppose a man who lives by day

back at d one of his fellow..workmen tells
him to use Salvation Oil for be has him¬

dyspepsia, constipation, or diarrhoea and
on reccommendation of a friend should
tyke Laxador, the golden specific for all

undoubtedly would, be cured in a short
time, has be not done a good thing fur
himself! These patent medicines are just
such prescriptions rs first ‘class physi¬
cians might order, and far better than
those of inferior doctors. There are sev¬
eral patent medicines that have gone on
year after year widening the circle of
their patrons and friends until now their
names have become “household words,
"and no amount of cavil can shake peo ¬
ple^ confidence in them. They have
become tne property of the people, and
♦can be found in every well-ordered
household. Prominent among them may
be mentioned Dr- Bull’s Cough Spiup,
whose virtues are second to none, which
has achieved a reputation as broad as the
continent, ft has received the endorse¬
ment of men of the highest character,
whose veracity is unquestioned. Tnese
men, who are well known in their respec¬
tive neighborhoods, testify over their sig«»
natures to the virtue and efficacy of this
remedy. They may sometimes be misto
ken like other men but they caunt t
certify falsely. They are fairly entitled
to their opinions, and are to be rfspectfd
for expressing them; and the public are
justified in believing them so far as to
give the preparation a fair trial. Col. J.
Armoy Knox, of the Texas Siftings, the
well known humorous lecturer, had to
speak sometime since to a New York au¬
dience. The Colonel is a man of com¬
manding appearance and naturally was
desirous of “astounding the natives’’ in
this new field of bis labors. Bat the
Colonel had a severe cold, and what, was
worse, he was very hoarse. How was he
to “whoop it up What was he to do!
Like Jack, the giant-kilter, the Colonel is
fertile of expedients, and always equal to
the emergency. He bethought himself
of Dr. Bull’s cough pyrnp, of which he
had heard so much, and be determined to
try it He did so, and his voice on that
occasion was as “clear as a bell,” and
when we say he equaled himself, and it
was all due to Dr. Bull’s cough syrup,we
all that need be said of either, But
let him speak for himself:
“I had to lecture in Steinway, N. Y. t
the other Dight, but was afraid the se¬
vere cold and hoarseness I was then
suffering from would prevent me from
speaking. 48 hours before I appeared
on the platform I began using DrBull s
Cough Syrup. On the night of the
lectnre I bad no symptoms of everhav
ing had a cold. I am so pleased with
the effects of your remedy that I send
you this voludtary testimonial of its
efficacy. J
