THE GREATEST HAPPINESS.
Upon no subject isTlfere more divergence., of opinion among mankind than upon what constitutes the " greatest happiness.” Wealth, honour, fame, beauty, goodness, power, all these and other attributes contest in men's hearts and minds for the coveted position. Yei 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 .whatsis the gift but Dead Sea Fruit ? Whence the calmer judgment of the more matured unhesitatingly decides that the greatest happiness is the possession of health, for its possession makes frill the enjoyment and appreciation of all else which is desirable. Unfortunately, it iis not given to all.to-command health, but those who cannot do so are but few and quite the exception. Asa rule the human being is the author of his own health state, and, mark you, if he has trifled with it a heavy retribution awaits him for his breach of [truth. For instance, you suffer from, indigestion or liver, attacks; you do, and you know it, because the symptoms are unmistakable. Tet you do nothing consistently to remedy the state of things. Bewaire! yon are imperilling your life; shortening your-daySi—-While for merely 2s 6d you can procure at any chemist's Nurse Woodward’s Health Syrup, which is a certain cure for these troubles. - 655
