TRUE GENTLEMEN. “I beg your pardon!” and with a smile and a touch of his hat, Harry Edmon handed to an old man, against whom he had accidentally stumbled, the cane which he had knocked from his hand. “ I hope I did not hurt you? We were playing too roughly.” “ Not a bit,” said the old man. “Boys will be boys, and it’s best they should be. You didn’t harm me.” “ I’m glad to hear it; ” and lifting his hat again, Harry turned to join the play¬ mates with whom he had been frolicking at the time of the accident. ‘1 What do you raise your hat to that old fellow for?” asked his companion, Charley Gray. “ He is only old Giles, the huckster.” “ That makes no difference, said Harry. “ The question is not whether he is a gentleman, but whether I am one ; and no true gentlemen will be less polite to a man because he wears a shabby coat or hawks vegetables through the streets instead of sitting in a count¬ ing house.” Which was right ? Dr. Norman Kerr explains what is the matter with drunkards as follows :— “There is an abnormal cerebral con¬ dition, a dynamical and psychical distur¬ bance of the brain and nerve function, a real departure from sound health, which is itself a pathological slate with, in all probability, its post mortem equivalent in hyperplasma of the neuroglia.” Paste this in your hats and read it to any man that offers to treat. Ten to one he will skip. -:o:- If v/e could see ourselves as others see us, what an wholesale smashing of mir¬ rors would take place. DR, HALLS BLOOD PURIFIER Gives brilliancy to the eye, a rosy, healthy hue to the face, a pearly whiteness to the teeth, a delightful fragrance to the breath, elasticity to the step, a buoyancy to the spirits, an edge to the appetite, a clear conception, pure blood, refreshing and exhilarating sleep to the debilitated system, The blood being the source from which our systems are built up, and from which we derive our mental as well as physical capabilities, it is important that it should be kept pure. If it contain vile festering poisons, all organic functions are weakened thereby, and settling upon important organs, such as the lungs, liver, or kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behoves every one to keep their blood in a perfec¬ tly healthy condition. No matter what the symptoms may be, the real cause of a large proportion of all diseases is bad blood. The extraordinary efficacy of this famous blood purifier in thousands of cases prove its effects to be uuparalleled in the annals of medicine ; it never fails to cure scrofula, scurvy, scrofulous sores, glandular swellings and_ sores, cancerous ulcers, bad legs, piles, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, blackheads or pimples on the face, sore eyes, erup¬ tions of the skin and blood, and skin diseases of every description.
