FIRST LOVE.
First love is Lest, the poet said —
Ah, poet, wise and true!
In youth it. fanned my heart to flame,
In manhood burns —about the same —
And will my whole life through.
That first, love! Can I e’er forget
The dawn of that fair time
When dimpled cheeks and soulful eyes
Revealed a glimpse of of paradise,
And 1 bowed at the shrine?
'Twas then I swore my heart was true;
That she was wondrous fair.
But here to-day I've tried in vain
Just to recall her Christian name
And gave up in despire.
Many a maid I’ve loved since then—
Hope to love many yet — I
An Alite once, a winsome Ray,
A Beatrice and twice a May,
Ami then a Margaret.
But then I know the poet said
The first love stirs the flame.
Though maids galore you love and woo.
That first love lasts your whole life
through.
Naught changes but name.

Sick poison is a poison which
makes youfsick. It comes from the
stomach. The stomach makes it
out of undigested food. The blood
gets it and taints the whole body
with it. That’s the way of it. The
way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion. If your food is all
properly digested, there will be none
left in the stomach to make sick
poison out of. If your stomach is
too weak to see to this properly by
itself, help it along with a few doses
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. That’s
the cure of it. Shaker Digestive
Cordial is a delicious, healthful,
tonic cordial, made of pure medici
nal plants, herbs and wine. It posi
tively cures indigestion and prevents
the formation of sick-poison- At
