Dear Sir. SI uce several years I have got a
ore and very painful foot. I had some physi
cians, but they couldn't cure me. Now I have
heard of your Veoktisf. from a lady who was
sick for a long time, and became all well from
your Vkuetixk, and I went and bought one
bottle of Ve:etink ; and after I had uned one
bottle the pains loft me, and it began to heal,
and then I bought one other bottle, and do I
take it yet. I thank God for this remedy and
yourself ; and wishing every sufferer may pay
attention to it. It is a blessing for health.

In 1872 your Veoetixk was recommended to

I consented to try It. At the time I was suffer

habits. Its wonderful strengthening and cura

system iron tne nrat uose ; ana under its per

Since then I have not hesitated to give

"GOOD ENOUGH."
A little while since we chanced to
be in an office when the foreman hand
ed the proprietor a completed job, with
the remark, "It's not what it ought to
be," and the answer quickly came. "Oh,
I guess it's good enough."
That set us to thinking.
We wondered what "good enough"
meant, "Good enough" for the money
received? good enough" for the pur
pose for which it was to be used ? "good
enough" for the public? "good enough"
for the material? "good enough" for
the reputation of the oflice? "good
enough" for what? We would have
given up all our hopes of ever being
President "ob dese United .States to
have known to a certainty what "good
enough was intended to represent
but, being left in the dark, could only
imagine.
If the idea was that, although it
might pass, yet the work could have
been improved, the term was an error.
Nothing turned out from a printing
establishment is "good enoughj when
there is an opportunity for better.
Granted that in some instances cheap
paper and ink is all that is required
yet the work can be done in a work
manlike manner, and should be, to the
utmost limit possible. Cheapness does
not entirely preclude artistic labor. It
costs no more to set up a decent job.
and one where the proprieties are ob
served, than one outraging all taste
and proportion. The labor in either
instance is the same; the "composition
not a whit more expensive one way
than the other. So. too, with the "mak
ing up" and "presswork." Good or bad,
it requires careful handling: and though
the cheapest possible ink be used, it
can be evenly distributed, and not
"daubed" on in great patches and blurs.
"Good enough" for the pay? We do
not understand the expression. Work
is represented by a scale of prices, and
none should be taken for less than a
fair equivalent, and when taken the
customer is entitled to value received
lo put mm off with anything less is
an injustice is, to call things by their
right names, fraud. You do, or should,
receive the value, and should return it,
Anything less is not a fair business
transaction. If a man takes work for
less than will vield him a living return
for his labor, the cost of paper and ink,
and the wear of material, the fault is
his own. Besides, the morality of the
thing, in the attitude of which he
stands towards others of the same trade,
is wrong. To work at a loss means
disregard of long established rights
means a mistaken policy, the endanger
ing of financial obligations, a tottering
credit, with bankruptcy looming up in
in the distance. No man can cont-'nue
such a course without failure. It is
only putting off the evil day when the
red flag of the sheriff will float to the
breeze from his front door. "Good
enough for the pay means some under
handed game, excuse it as you may.
Good enough" for the purpose for
which it is to be used? Is it? Be
cause the job may not be one to remain
cherished for years, is that any reason
why the work 6houldnot be creditable?
Suppose it is to be flung aside the mo
ment it is looked at to be lost in the
waste basket or ground up in the paper
mill. What then? May not that sin
gle glance of the eye decide something
of far more importance? May it not
gain or lose a customer? May it not
make or mar your reputation as a good
craftsman? There are always some
who look critically at everything that
passes through their hands always
some who keep what others toss light
ly aside, and it forms a basis for judg-
1""
Irue, it may not
ue necessary 10 expenu the same
amount of exactness and nicety upon
an ephemeral circular, or things of that
nature, that is bestowed upon a book;
but the nearer the approach to perfec
tion the better for the name and pros
perity of the workman, and the more
to the satisfaction of the party using.
"Good enough" for the public? The
idea brings its own refutation. The
public is the salvation and life of every
trade, and the more you cater to its pe
culiar idiocrasy the better it will be
with you. Without the good will of
the public, you might a3 well take
down your sign and 6hut up your shop.
You con no more live without th3 pat
ronage of the public than you can
without breath ; and many a man has
attempted to run counter to its tastes
and wishes to his sorrow. We all live
upon and for the public, in a greater
or less degree. It is the power that
creates the demand you are seeking to
supply, for your profit. The idea that
you can be independent of it is prepos
terous; and it is to be the sole judge of
what is 'good enough," not you. Your
ipse dixit goes for nothing. And, de
pend upon it, the judgment will be a
harsh one. The public is not over giv
en to tenderness to extending a man
tle of charity over faults. It (at this
day, whatever might once have been
the case) knows what quid pro quo
means, and is rery apt to be a Shylock
in demanding all that is "nominated
in the bond. "Good enough" for the
public is holding out a premium for
being slighted is simply good for
nothing.
"Good enough" for the reputation of
the office ? Is that the line of argu
ment you intend to follow in matters
of business ? If so, we ask you, for the
sake of the remainder, that you instant
ly and forever sever all connection
with printing. There are those (and,
the gods be praised, an overwhelming
majority) who hold differently; that
have the good of the craft at heart;
that have unlimited faith in it. and
struggle ever for its advancement.
They look upon "good enough" in a
very different light from what you do,
and work must be superlatively "good"
to answer their requirements. "Good
enough" for your reputation is the ut
most "good" that can be accomplished.
Nothing falling short is "enough" in
any respect, save to bring odium and
disgrace. For that is more than enough."
A true printer toils for the elevation
of his art for the ultima thule of sat
isfaction to himself and others. If
you think the reverse, and "anything"
will pass muster, you are not "good
enough" for tha. position you occupy,
and should speedily vacate for those
who are more worthy. This we have
a right to ask, and do ask. by the mem
ory of the great names enshrined by
our craft for the sake of those who,
knowiDg the right, never the wrong
pursue.
There is suh a thing in the world
as "good enough. The very object of
living is to grow better. When the
great Master Workman of the universe
had finished his labor and prepared for
the rest of the seventh day, he looked
over that he had accomplished and
called it "good." There was no quali
fication, no comparative. It was sim
ply "good," and that expressed a fact
that could not be bettered. "Good
enough" is not for man. The Creator
was not satisfied with it, and certainly
the creature should not be. There is
enough evil in life, but never a suffi
ciency of good cannot be.
"Good enough should be banished
from the language. It stands in the
same category with "can t. And,
most of all, it should never be spoken
or dreamed of in the printing office.
Sink the "enough," and see that every
thing is "good." Then will something
of our hope for the craft be accomplish
edthen may we sing a song of rejoic
ing for the "good" time coming. Print
ers Cabinet.
Proceedings of the Nebraska Wool
Growers' and Sheep-Raisers'
Association.
An adjourned meeting of this asso-
ciation convened at the Commercial
Hotel in Lincoln, at 2 o'clotk January
ICth, 18T8. S. R. Foss, of Saline county,
was chosen chairman, and J. II. Culver
secretary. On motion of Mr. Allen, of
Merrick county, a form of Constitution
and by-laws was read by Moses Stock
ing, and adopted. Mr. Stocking was
made a committee of one to dratt an
additional law providing for the regu
lar meeting to be held during the State
fair. The association then proceeded to
election of officers, with the following
results: President, Moses Stocking:
Vice President, S. R. Foss; Secretary,
J. C. McBi ide; Treasurer, A. D. Ritch
ie; Executive Committee, II. L. Allen,
J. B. Long, J. A. McMurphy.
Mr. Ritchie effered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Whereas, an effect is about to be
made to revise the Tariff Laws of the
United States, in the interests of im
porters and foreign produces; there
fore.
1. Resolved, That we, the wool-grow
ers of Nebraska, are opposed to any
material alteration of the tariff laws on
wool and woolen goods at present in
force, believing that they afford a just
and necessary protection to the home
produce.
2. Resolved, That we take this oppor
tunity of expressing our sympathy
with the depressed and suffering indus
tries of our land, and pledge them our
earnest co-operation and support in
resisting any attempt to deprive them
of the meagre protection they have
against the cheap laborand capital of
other lands.
3. Resolved, That the necssities of the
case demand, that while we sustain the
old we encourage the introduction of
new and more diversiffod industries, to
the end that American labor and its pro
ducts may find a market at home, and
not be compelled to enler into a hu-
miliatingcompetition in other markets
already suffering from production in
excess of their means of consumption.
On motion, a commitiee of three was
ippointed to correspond with manu
facturers, and urge the construction of
woolen mills, carding mills, etc., in
Nebraska, tendering the aid of the as
sociation to whomsoever might under
take the construction of such manu
facturing establishment; also to corres
pond with the owners o woolen mills
within convenient reach and see at
what rate the wool grown by the mem
bers of the association can be contrac
ted for the year 1878. The following
is the committee: Moses Stocking, J.
II. Culver, and T. II. Leavitt. The
following is the Constitution and By
Laws adopted.

" Old Nick."
Archie Campbell, the head of the old
town guard of Edinburgh, was a some
what remarkable man in his way. His
old mother died, and Archie, being well
to do in money matters, resolved to take
her back to her native place in the High
lands, and did so. Thinking it a great
pity to be taking the hearse back to Ed
inburgh empty, he thought of the plan
of sending a few gallons of real small
stiff smuggled whisky, which Jie could
easily sell to the members of the town
council with a good profit. After his
feelings of regret had got somewhat
blunted by years, he used to think it a
good joke to say over his toddy with
some of his cronies: "I took awa' the
body and brought back the speerft."

Many cases of overdose of medicine'

be prescribed by drops.
A discussion is in progress in the'
medical journals respecting indigestible'
medicines. The assertion is made that
doses are given often without regard to'
whether the patient's stomach is in con-
dition to digest them; and, if undigest-'
ed, they not only fail as remedies, but
may do positive harm.

At a meeting of the Board at Health)
of New York, tho subject of skimmed
milk as food for infants was brought'
up. Dr. Chaudler said that there was
a misapprehension about it. It was not
innutrilious. Cheese made from skim
med milk headed the list of' nutritious'
articles of diet; but the stomach of an'
ostrich was needed to digest' it. It wa
the cream which made milk easily di
gestible. Hence, when a baby was'
given milk without cream, its digestive'
apparatus was at once -tried to a hurt-'
ful degree. Take away the cream and
you take away, not tho most nutritious,
but the most fattening and the most di
gestible part of milk. It was because'
skimmed milk was not digestible that
it was killing the babies of New York
by'the thousands.
Trlnmph OTOr EtIL
We are rewarded for every triumph
we make over temptation. I will sup
pose there are many who have struggled'
against the vanity of vain pleasures;
many who have put down evil thoughts'
with a strong will; many who, after a
long, anu, il may o an uncertain con-
flict witli the seduction of the world, at
length have triumphed. I will put It'
to them whether, when they have com
bated and so prevailed against the evil.
whether their hearts have not softener!
and melted within tliein, whether they
have not felt within their bosoms a se-'
raphic influence? They have so felt;
and so it will ever be. No sooner shall
they have driven from them the tempt
ing demon of pride, of vanity, of anger'
no sooner shall the devil have left
them, than angels will come and minis-'
ter unto them.
Home Building.
Some one, who must himself be a"
lover of the beautiful and grand in na
ture, gives expression to the following.
sentiment:
When a man plants a tree ho plants'
himself. Every root is an anchor, over
which he rests with grateful interest,.
and becomes sufficiently calm to feel
the joy of living. He necessarily makes
the acquaintance of the sun of the sky.
Favorite trees fill his mind, and while
tending them like children, and accept
ing the benefits they bring, becomes
himself a benefactor. He sees the'
brown common ground teeming like a -
transparent sky with colored fruits, and'
learns to bring them to the surface.-
What he wills he can raise by true en
chantment. With slips and rootlets,
his magic wands, they appear at his bid-'
ding. These, and the seeds he plants,.
are his prayers, and, by them brought'
into right relations with God, he works
grander miracles every day than ever
were written.
Woman.
A woman, notwithstanding she Is th
best of listeners, knows her business,
and it is a woman's business to please.
I dont say that it is not her business
to vote, but I do say that the woman
who does not please is a false note in.
the harmonies of nature. She may not
have youth, or beauty, or even manner.
but she must have something in her
voice or expression, or both, which it
makes you feel better disposed toward
your race to look at or listen to. Sho
knows that as well as we do; and her
first question after you have been talk
ing your soul into her consciousness is,
did I please? A woman never forgets
her sex. She would rather talk with T
man than an angel any day. Womanly'
women are very kindly critics, except
to themselves and now and then to their
own sex. The less there if of sex about
a woman the more she is to be dreaded.
But take a real woman at her best mo
ment well dressed enough to be pleased
with l.erself, not so resplendent as to
be a show and a sensation, with the
varied outside influences that set vi
brating the harmonic notes of her na
ture stirring in the air about her and
what has social life to compare with
one or those vital interchanges of
thought and feeling with her that make
an hour memorable? What can equal
her tact, her delicacy, her sublety of
apprehension, her quickness to feel tho
changes of temperature as the warm1
and cool currents of thought blow by
turns? At one moment she is micros--copically
intellectual, critical, scrupul
ous in judgment as an analyistfs bal
ance, and the next as sympathetic as
the open rose that sweetens the wind
from whatever quarter it finds its way
toherbosomt It is in the hospitable
soul of a woman' that a man forgets, ho
is a stranger, and so becomes natural
and truthful, at the same time that he
is mesmerized by all those divine dif
ferences thitt make her a mystery anOI
a bewilderment. AUantie Montfdy
