THE GREATEST HAPPINESS. Upon no subject is there more diverger.c of opinion among mankind than upon ,wha 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. 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 Fruit; Whence the calmer judgment of the more matured unhesitatingly decides that the greatest happiness is the possession of health, but those who cannot do so are but few and quite the exception. As a rule, the human 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.' Yet you do 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 Health Syrup, which is a certain cure for these troubles.
Mortals whose pleasures we thei*’ only care, first wish to be .'inposed. on, and then are." Bnt they will never be imposed on- if they ask for A. and B. Mackey’s Liqueur Whisky. 1'
