THE SWEET SAfOUR OF CONTENT.
r ll
"Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content” sang an Qld English
bard, Robert Greene. Three hundred and more years have passed since
he penned his lines. As he looked over the varied life of his day, with its
intellectual ferment, its restless ambitions, its ceaseless plottings, its
upward struggles of the masses, its seething discontents, its angry rending
of old customs that too long had bound mankind in chains, he doubtless
thought that the most strenuous period of human history had come. To
him “a quiet mind was richer than a crowne.” His soul yearned for the
restful ease of the “homely home that harbours quiet rest, the cottage that
affords no pride nor care.” He realized, as many before him and many
since have realized, that, after all, contentment is the only safe basis on
, which to build the castle of happiness, the only sure refuge from the pitiless
storms that h»set life.
Today, no less than in the time of Henry, Elizabeth and the Stuarts, it
is true that "beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.” We are all too
apt to be carried off our feet by outward circumstances, by pomp and
show’, by the mere external trappings of life, into the feelings that in them,
and them only, lies happiness. Out of this false aggrandizement of the
minor value of these outward conditions of existence grow the envy, the
jealousy, the cankering desire to emulate vain displays of wealth and fashion
that have become unfortunately too marked a feature of our present era.
Contentment is destroyed, there is a ceaseless yearning after things that
are beyond reach, a feverish, unhealthful desire that destroys all pleasure
-that Bc—wlthhKeas ygrasp. The happiness at hand is ruthlessly
thrust aside in a desperately 'footlsW-and equally vain ambition to seize
elusive costly pleasures that those in conditions of greater affluence find
but a fleeting satisfaction in. The humble home with its sw’eetness of
5 love and peace % and innocence loses its Eden-like charm. The quiet joys
v that are inexpensive, but which cultivate the mind, enrich and ennoble the
soul, and leave life purer and stronger, are regarded with indifference or
scorn and forsaken for a feeble, vapid imitation of the meretricious pursuits
of the millionaire. Life takes on a false perpective entirely. It is forgotten
that in pleasure, as in other things, “all is not gold that glistens.” Gradual
ly the mind becomes embittered and the soul calloused. Pitiful, indeed, the
e state to which the victim of such a false ambition has fallen. Fortunate
the man or woman who, awakening before it is too late to a proper valuation
0 of life and what it offers, accepts its innumerable blessings as they come
s. fresh from the hand of God, with a heart full of thankfulness, rejoicing in
111 the rich privilege of appreciative enjoyment. Contentment gladdens every
day for them, their world is full of brightness. To them a “minde content
y _ both crowne hnd kingdom is.”
m Cultivate contentment. It is the sure harbinger of life-everlasting joy,
a- the source of infinite peace of mind and happiness, the true Alladin's lamp,
the only magician’s stone. T. G.

Their vessel started for the sealing
grounds carrying a crew of ten men.
K A lane was discovered In the ice
11 through which a great number of seals
were observed. Captain Ejodi took his
ship into this break, but soon after en
a teriug the lane the ice closed together
j with great force, cutting the ship com
pletely In half horizontally. The bot
tom of Ihe vessel sank, while the upper
part was forced up on the surface of

MALARIAsLVoD ST eo“oH
UNDERMINES THE HEALTH
IAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR DISEASE
Malaria comes from the absorption into the blood of germs and microbes
winch destroy the rich, nutritive qualities of the circulation and reduce it to
a weak, watery, disease-spreading stream. The healthy color of the skin is
given to it by the millions of little red corpuscles which are in the blood
these are the carriers of nourishment and health to alt parts of the body *
in other words the very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation The !
destruction of these corpuscles by the malarial poison takes the color '
from the eheak, and in the first stages of Malaria we have pale, sallow faces, j
poor appetite, a bilious condition is set up, and we feel “out of sorts’’ j
generally But Malaria means more than this; it is a systemic blood poison, |
which undermines the health and gives rise to innumerable and sometimes ■
serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the blood
As the blood becomes more and more polluted with the malarial poison, the
digestion becomes deranged, chills and fever are frequent, skin diseases
boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the flesh and after
awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either prove fatal or
permanently undermine and wreck the health. Malaria can only be worked
out of the system through the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with
strong, nauseating cathartics can never remove the trouble because they do
not reach the blood where the germs are constantly multiplying. The only
hope for a cure is a remedy that can destroy the germs and microbes, and ;
neutralize the bad effects of the poison, and S. S. S. is the medicine to '
accomplish this, because it is a perfect blood purifier and a general systemic
remedy of unequalled value. S. S. S. I
searches out and removes every trace
of the malarial poison and puts the
blood in such rich, healthy condition !
TMB that sallow, anaemic complexions take
$ pfegP & on the ruddy glow of health, the liver
and digestion are righted, the appe
• tite improved, the system vitalized
and strengthened, anu every symptom of Malaria passes away.* Malarial
persons will find S. S. S. not only a prompt remedy but a gentle, pleasant act
ing one, as well as a certain cure for this disease. Besides removing the
I cause of Malaria S. S. S. builds up every part of the system by its fine tonic
I effects. Persons living in a malarial section should, at this season, fortify
j their systems against this insidious disease by purifying their blood with'a
