LIFE IN THE FIREPLACE.
The object lessons \ye have in life are ec numerous and familiar that we naturally pass them by without notice. ■ Aa we looic at an open fire, for instance, few of us think of the principle of human life wbjbh ie there revealed, when the fire burns low we throw on a little kindling and think no more about it. The fire soons burra brightly again, and the lesson is unheeded. When you notice that the fire of lifo burns feebly, why do you not remember the kindling? Here is a lady—well know in the community in Which shet lives—who learned how to kindle thia human flame. She writeß :— . ..' "In glancing through the testimonial*in a pamphlet I read with. interest one whMi corresponded to the case of my little g\\% now fifteen months old. At six months sue was a really beautiful baby, but after she was weaned I was greatly disappointed at the little progress she made. She waanot in any way ill, and was a deiftfaealy g<XWtempered child, but made absolutely no progress, although I d*voted my entire time to her. I could not think it nglitthafc a child so well taken care of, and so much in [the fresh air, ehould lose flesh in spite of apparent good health. 'When she w t &Bseven months old she had cut four teeth, bat in the next five months cut only one more. A* this time, when baby wasa year old, I began giving her Scott's Emulsion. ■ IhaVerouon pleasure in saying that she improved mc marvellous manner. Baby took the Emulsion with evident enjoyment, and I ni&y cay it was just what she needed to give ncr i fleeh, strength, and vitality.—Yours truly, (signed), Mas Giorgb Handxl, Mftyeedei), Whitatabie, Kent, England, December 19th, 1895 " The point to Emphasise in Mre Handel's letter is that, although she devoted her entire time to her baby, it did'not make any progress. There was no evidence oi disease or any tangible ailment?, -but it w*s none the less evident that something «" wanting. You .have read her letter., *°« know what etarted the fire burning bngiiHy again. It was " kindling." . .. ;There are probably millionsof J»tnes ! n the world who are not makieg They all need Scott's Emulsion? to restore the "blush of health and make dimploa ; ww»they laugh. If you are a father or raotber, you know what rosy cheeks and diny** mean. . • J^-.
