but extremely good for the sufferer
from that harassing disease is Dr.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. No medi
cine can compare with this great
remedy in the prompt and perma

affections. It stops the cough,
soothes the irritated throat, and in
duces refreshing sleep.
“ I had a bronchial trouble of nuch a per

tor pronounced it incurable with ordinary
remedies, but recommended me to try Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. One bottle cured me.”

“A short time ago I was taken with a
severe attack of bronchitis, and neither phy
sicians nor ordinary remedies gave me relief.
In despair of finding anything to cure me, I
bought a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
Less than one bottle entirely cured me.”

YOUNG MAN, CONCENTRATE YOUR
EFFORTS IN LIFE.
One of the first laws of success
may be said to be the concentration
of effort, especially in this clay and
time when so many things are clam
oring for worldly attention. It seems
to be an impossibility to be success
ful in every avocation of life, or to be
famous in every department of pro
fessional life at once. Every person
will agree that a man cannot make
a success practicing law and medi
cine at the same time. The one
will suffer for the want of his proper
attention while the other may nour
ish by mere hap hazard of passing
luck. Both may suffer simply for the
want of concentration of time and
enemies.
We must learn to give our time
and energies to one thing, and go
directly to that thing, looking neither
to the right nor to the left, but ever
keeping our eye on the mark of our
high calling in life. The day of
universal scholarship has been its
race. It is numbered in the series
of the past. Asa noted writer so
judiciously said, “Life is short and
art is long.” Human wisdom has
reached to such a high degree and
grown to a problem of such stupen
dous weight that no human brain
can not afford to struggle with it;
and the young man who would know
£atarrh Leads
to Consumption.
A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.
Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
tures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
nreciated. But no good what*
Ityigv. -an be expected from local
as such treatment
and never
one thing well must be content to be
ignorant of a thousand and one oth
er things, however attractive and
caressing they may appear. The
youth who would.crown his life with
the beautiful laurels of success, must
lend all his time and energies—ener
gies of brain, heart, hand, eye and
tongue—to some special object of
life. Fast and varied knowledge and
culture are beautiful things to med
itate upon, but the man with one pur
pose, and that one intensity, is the
man who reaches, or comes near
reaching the highest point of human
ambition.
The great men of every age who
have had the, delightful, although ar
duous task of shaping human fortune,
have been men of one idea, urged on
by firm energy and concentrated.
This element was one of the means
by which Alexander, The Great, Ju
lius Ceasar, and Napolean Bona
parte accomplished so much during
their record of brilliant achievements.
You may consider those names that
add so much lustre to the pages of
history, and with very few exceptions
you will find them to be men con
nected with someone achievement
upon which they concentrated every
effort they possessed to make it a
success. A man may have the most
brilliant talents, but, if they are not
concentrated upon some special ob
ject, he will not accomplish anything.
The marksman who aims at the
whole target will seldom ever hit the
bulls-eye. The literary man may
revel on the sweet wines of thought,
but unless he collects and condenses
his thoughts into one great, concen
trated idea, his hopes as a literary
man will be utterly vain and useless.
Tho world has but few men whom
she can call universal gennuises who
are capable of mastering perfectly a
dozen languages, arts, or sciences, or
carrying a dozen avocations to a suc
cess at once. Begininners in life are
always complaining of the disadvan
tages under which they labor; but it
is an immutable fact that more per
sons fall short of their expectatiens in
life more because of the number of
their pursuits and pretensions than
from a poverty of resources. It is
said that if momentum in physics be
properly directed, it will force a tal
low candle through an inch plank.
Thegeneral who scatters his forces
all about over the country, insures
defeat; so does he who scetters his
pursuits here and there and in so
many different channels, so that none
of them can gather force at any point.
What is more powerless than the va
por that rises to the sky, scattered
“I hnd such n severe case of Catarrh
that I lost my hearing in one ear. and
part of the bone in my nose sloughed

as the dew-drop that falls each night
upon the earth: but, if it be concentra
ten in a steam boiler, It will be able
to almost hurl the mountains to the
sea and to bring the contents of
foreign nations to our very doors.
It is the lack of concentration of
effort that constitutes the shabby,
hall'-beasted men of life—men who
are numbered with tramps and vaga
bonds of the world and covet the vic
tories so dearly won by others—men j
who love not that spirit of enterprise

to a glorious consmmation.
By dividing his time among too
many things, a genius may become
diamond dust instead of a diamond.
In law, in medicine, in trade, and in
I fact, in all the vocations and pro
-1 fessions of life, the most successful
persons have been those who stuck
to one thing. You must not lay
your plans on too big a scale, for if
you do, defeat will inevitably be your
' reward.
If you" start for success, you must
expect to gfve its price. It cannot
be acquired by feeble, half-way ef
forts, neither is it won because sought
forjn a hundred difterent directions.
It means that you bring to your chos
en avocation or profession concen
trated energy, and industry, and
avove all, a singleness of purpose,
which will devote all your life to the
accomplishment of that end. Many
call upon you from social circles of
life must go unheeded; many peti
tions from sports upon you must be
ignored. Cultivate this habit of con
centration ot efiort if vou would suc
ceed in life.
In urging the worth of concentra
ted effort, we would not be under
stood that a person should be a mere
doctor, lawyer, merchant or farmer,
for there are cases in the world which
have so much one-sidedness. There
is nothing more pitable than to see a
person whose one great faculty has
absorbed all the rest. Every man
should be something more than a
factor in some grand achievement of
sociability or morality. One can
compel his energies to bear on one
great point and yet show hipiself a
man among men by, his interest in
matters of public concern.
Remember that you must concen
trate your efforts if you would ac
complish what your ambitions have
designed. While you are winning
victories, you should show in all your
faculties those qualities which go to
make up a complete citizen and
man. Let us ever hold to the indis
puted truth, that in order for a per
son to accomplish anything in life he
must have one purpose, and the'
greatest of all, he must concentrate
his time and eneigies to the consum
mation of that purpose or else defeat
will be his inevitable reward.

SOME SECRETS OF SUCCESS.
A noted writer has said, “It you
wish success in life, make Persever
ance your bosom friend, Experience
j your wise counsellor. Caution your
elder brother, and Hope your guardian
genius.”
Every -man must wait patiently for
his time. He must wait, not in idle
ness, not in useless past time, not in
complaining melancholy, but in con
stantly, steadily filling and accom
i plishing his purpose in life that when
his opportunity shall come, he may
be equal to any occasion. The talent
of success is nothing more than doing
what you can without the thought of
fame. If it will come because it is
deserved, not because it is sought
after. If is a very unwise and tire
some ambition which cares so much
of what the world says of us; to be
always shouting to hear our own
voices; to be always blowing our horn
in order that we may hear the praises
of the world come to us. A persever
ingsyirit, inspired by the right motives
will cause great obstacles to give way
to it. It will use these motives so as
to make them aids and instruments of
success and progress; and the individ
ual by the way he meets, who over
comes and uses them reminds us of
the fable ships that sail faster in the
very teeth of the wind.
A poor mother once '.vent with her
boy to assist him in securing work.
They went to a man and his answer
was, “I really have nothing for a boy
to do nt the present, madam.” The
boy lingered behind his mother for a
moment. The boy remarked to the
gentleman, “I’ll see my mother to a
street, sir, then I would be pleased
to have a few words with you.” The
gentleman was astonished at the man
ly, respectful, confident tone of the
boy. The boy s looks were against
him, and he had not been much in
clined beforehand to the boy, but re
plied, “Certainly, sir.” In five min
utes, the boy was back. The follow
ing colloquy followed: “You said
that you had nothing for me to do,
sir, but perhaps you do not think of
all that I can do. 1 can make your
interest my interest; can be
faithful. I never tell a lie and
I would think nothing too low or
small for me to do. I can black
boots, sir, or I can write a good let
ter. I would not boast sir. if it was
not for my mother. She has very lit
tle and lam her only boy.” The
gentleman smiled, but was touched
and completely captured by the
timely speech which the lad had
made. The gentleman then asked
the boy', “Where are your recom
rendations ? ” The lad handed him
pocket Testament on the fly-leaf
of which was the following inscription:
“A reward for punctual attendence at
morning and afternoon Sunday school
for two years.”
i
Well, my lad, I would not need
you unless you prove a perfect treas
ure. I will only give you a small
salary, until I shall have time to
prove you.” “All right sir,” replied
the boy. What shall I do?
In two months time, the lad had
proven himself such “A perfect treas
ure,” that his wages were doubled.
Every boy who wishes to be suc
cessful, and he thinks if he only could
find a sure road to success in any un
dertaking, he should not hesitate to
enter it one moment. It is the fear
of failure at last that keeps many,
many thousands from pushing them
selves to the summit of success.

gave me mediei ,es which relieved me some,
but which never helped me as they should.

to do light work about the house, I would
become prostrated. I was very dizzy and
frequently pains would dart through my
back in ail indescribable manner. In fact,
my whole constitution was affected. • I had
a very sallow complexion with seemingly no
color in my face at all.

and ihe dizziness in my head was relieved.
“I hud often read of these pills but gave
no attention to them until the day I procured
my first box. Since then I have taken twelve!
boxes and have been greatly relieved. My
blood is in a better condition, I have gained
