THE GREATEST HAPPINESS.
Upon’ no subject is there more divergence of , opiniom among manWnd than upon what constitutes • the * 'greatest happiness.” Wealth, honour, fame beauty, goodness, power, all thessand other attributes contest in men’s hearts, and minds for the coveted position. Yet take any one of them, or all of them, and eliminate from its or their possession the health which is necessary to_ its or their enjoyment, and what is the gift but Dead, Sea Eruit? Whence the calmer judgment of thp more matured unhesitatingly decides that the greatest happiness is the possession of health, for its possession makes full the enjoyment and appreciation of all else which is desirable.- Unfortunately, it is not given to all to command health, but those who cannot do so are but few and quite the exception. As a rule: the human being is the author of his own health state, and, mark you,' if he has trifled withit a heavy retribution awaits him for his breach of truth. Eor instance, you suffer from indigestion or liver attacks; you do. and you - know it. because the symptoms are unmistakable. Yet you'do l nothing consistently to remedy the state of things. Beware! you are imperilling your life; shortening your days. While for merely 2s 6d you can'procure at any chemist’s Nurse Woodward’s Healtn Syrup, . which is-a certain . cure for. these troubles. ’
