But I have to tell you /etc Ertracts^That Cut, s t 00 ped; but having found Southern Chill and Fever Remedy Tlierc being such a great demand for Fever remedies in this country, I have been making a special study of the different remedies used in malarial troubles ever since I have been in the drug business. I de termined last Fall upon putting up some preparation that would cure the majority of cases of Fever, Ague, Chills, etc., and that w.uld take the place of a great nurUDer of Northern and Western Fever and Ague remedies, believing that one living in this section is capable of preparing something that is better for the peculiar class of fever and the debilitating condition of the system that prevails during the Summer months. I have far ex ceeded nay expectations— Last Spring X began to manufacture JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC.

Yours truly, Jons F. Lamb, Conductor Roadway Train, S. F. & W. Railway-. F. R. & N. Railway SiiopsJ El.LAVH.tE, Fla. Must Jesus bear the cross alone And all the world go free? Dr. Talmage’s sermon on “Medicine for All 111” was found ed on tlie text, “And His disci ples came and took up the body and buried it, and went and told j Jesus.”—Mathew xiv 12. Fol lowing is the sermonJn full: An outrageous assassination had just taken place. To ap pease a revengeful woman Herod had ordered the death, of that noble, self-sacrificing, Christian man, John the Baptist. The disciples wore in great trouble. There was no court to which they could make appeal. But grief must havo utterance, and if there be no sympathetic ear to hear it then it must be cried aloud to the winds and the woods and the waters. But there was an ear ready to listen. What beauty of pathos and what wonderful picture in the words of my text: “They went and told Jesus!” Ho was ready to listen and He was ready to as suage their grief. We see Christ standing, His own face shadow ed with His own sorrow, sur rounded by n group of disciples in violent gesticulation, with many tears and with great out- cty of woe. Raphael, with skill full hand putting upon the wall of a pallace a picture bf Bible story, was not so skillful ns the plain hand of the evangelist, as he puts upon canvas the ‘sketch of the text: They “went ana told Jesus.” Can it bo that you have never tested the power of’temptatiox? You have one kind of tempta tion; you, another; you, another. There is not a person in the house hut has been tempted whether you realize it or not. I never like to hear a man say: “O, I couldn’t ho tempted the way that man is.” He could not be tempted the way you are. A lion cannot understand why a fish should be caught with a hook, and the fish cannot under stand why the Hon should be caught with a trap. You may he keys of St. Peter there is reason why I should stoop a longer.” So hi3 crutches cone and he was well. Oh, suggestive of temptation) seems at one time to be and weak and crippled, give it a throne and it beco a tyrant to grind your soul ruin. Well, now say: “AH persons being tempted, what are wo to do when we are ASSAILED OF TEMPTATION? When the wave dashes against us, is there nothing to hold on to? Is a man to go into this war with the word, the flesh nnd the devil, with no help?” I will tell you, my friends: The wisest thing for you to do in the day of temptation is, like these disciples of my text, to go and tell Jesu3. In the eyes that wept with the Bethany sisters I see shining hope. In that voice that broke the silence of tho tomb until tho widow of Nain got hack hpr son and stupendous sorrow made up in arms of rapture—aye, in that voice—I hear the command and the promise: “Cast the burden on the Lord, and Ho will sus tain thee.” He knows all about temptation. Tempted in all points like ns we are. Go and tell Jesus. Again, commend this beha vior of the disciples in my text, to all those who are slandered efore all Christiandom, his is name higher than any other me, except the “name that is above eVery other name,” the .name of Jesns, and can you ex pect to expect to escape hard ship and assault and abuse and under? You will not. "But what are you to do when ied about and assault- you going to hunt up the .slander? While you are explainnig one falsehood there will be fifty people who have just that moment heard of that particular falsehood. While you are not to omit every opportuni ty of setting yourself right, I want to tell you of one who had the hardest things said about him, whose sobriety was dispu ted, whose mission was scoffed, whose companionship was de nounced, who was pursued as a bake, spat on as a man and howled at after he was dead. Go to Him with all the wounds of your soul. Do not go arount trying to crush this falsehood and to crush that slander, you will only come out of the con test irritated and exasperated; but take the counsel of the text. Do as these disciples of the text did. this morning of One who is near to help, ever near—near before yon, behind you, within you, nearer than the staff on which you lean, nearer than the cupyou press to yoarlip, hearer than the hand kerchief with which yon wipe away the tenrs. I preach Him an ever present Jesus.

Go into his presence and say: “Lord, I see Thy wounds, tlie wounds of Thy head, the wounds of Thy feet, the wounds Thy hand, finances, they caitni they cannot raise our dead. Blessed bo God! the One to whom these disciples went lias all power in heaven and on earth, and He will, at just the right time, balk our calamities; and at just the right time, in the presence of an applauding earth and a re sounding heaven, will raise our dead. O, I preach Him an al mighty Christ! The last sword wifi leap from the scabhard ol Omnipotence, and the last re source of infinite God he exhaus ted, before God will allow one of Iris children' to cry for coinfori and not get it. I heard of a child who went to sea with her father, a sea-captain, and when the first storm came in the midnight the little child awakened nnd rushed out in great fright, and cried: ‘Where’s father? Where’s father? Then they told her the futile* was on dock and that he was guiding the ship, and he was watching the storm; and she said: “Well, if father’s on deck, then I’ll go to sleep.” So she went to sleep.

He has just as many temptations in one di rection as you, being of a ner vous and excitable temperament have temptations in another di rection. Yon will see some aged man arise in a prayer meeting, and at eighty years of age he talks so sweetly of Christ and heaven, you say: “That man has lived without temptation.” Ask him. He has os many temptations at eighty years of age as ho had at twenty. They are only differ ent styles of temptation. Ask that aged man whether he lias lived beyond tlie reach of the powers of darkness in this world, and he will say it has been a conflict all the way through. Sextus was a cardinal, and he wanted the Pontifical chair, and history says he pretended to be sick and crippled, r He said: Now, if you elect me to that chair I shall occupy it you think you are peculiar in that respect. No. “All who live godly in Jesus Christ must suffer persecutions.” If you are able this morning to say “I havn’t an enemy in all this world,” it is proof positive that you have not done your duty, for when a tnan does his duty,' he CHALLENGES EARm AND HELL, an<^ that challenge will bring against him opposition and scorn and persecution. It is so in all circles of life. One would have thought that if any man ought to havo been free from persecution, It was George Whitfield, bringing into the kingdom of God, wearing himself out for Christ’s snke; and yet the learned Dr. John son called him a mountebank. Robert Hall preached about the glories of heaven ns no unin spired man over preached about them, and it was said when he preached about-heaven his face shone' like an angels, and yet good Christian John Fostor writes of Robert Hall saying: ‘‘John Hall is a mere actor, nnd when lie talks about beaten, the smile ^>n his face is the re flection of his own vanity.” John Wesley stirred England with reform and yet ho was car- shall not liv ; anyhow, ricat tired by t ,e day. lie ' and tell Jesus! Again I commend the behavior of these disciples to the bereaved. As I stand here Sabbath by Sab bath, and I look off upon this audience, how many signals of mourning do I behold ! God has his own way of breaking up tlie family. The emigration from this world to the next is so vast au enterprise that God only can con duct it. That cmigratioii from tlris world to the next is so vast an enterprise that God only can conduct it. That emigration from earth to eternity keeps threefourths of the families of the world in des olation.' The child Hint lay near the mother’s heart is taken to lio in the cold and in the darkness.

Sometimes when we have sorrow our friends come in, and they try to sympathize with us to a certain extent; but they cannot under stand all the grief. They do as well as they can, but they cannot un derstand it altogether. But, blessed be God! Christ knows. He has* been all ihrough the trouble and all around about it. j^njons of this life I want to tell you. ‘ THE LOIiDIS CtHDINO-THE SHIP on deck, amf rie will bring you through into the harbor. Oh, yc whose checks are wet with the night dew of the grave, ye whoso hearts are tried with a sirocco, in the name of a religion which can wipe every tear, and lift every burden, and deliver every captive, and illumine every, darkness, I implore you go and tell Jesus. If you will not, if you try to carry your sins and your burden yourself, I tell you, my brother, plainly, your life will be a failure, your death will bo disaster and eternity a calamity; but if you will go to Christ with ail vour sins and ail your sorrows to-day,, your foot will strike the upward path, and the shining messengers who tell above what is "done here will make the arches of God resound with the tidings that you have gone to tell Jesus, t fh i’J, I look over this audience .
