Philadelphia, June 17. The year
of missionary work for the neglected
children of our country, in the Amer
ican Sunday school union, which closed
March 1, 1802, was very fruitful in bles

destitute of religious privileges, con
taining 7,019 teachers and 50,551 schol
r. Aid wns given to a,127 other

nnd 200,200 scholars. Besides all this
direct Sunday school work, tho mis
sionaries of the society distributed by
sale and gift 0,-153 Bibles nnd 0,115 Tes
taments. They made 00,5S2 visits to
families for religious conversation and
prayer, nnd delivered 12,474 sermons
and addresses. Slxty-slx hundred nnd

There's a wide difference
between tho help that's talked of
and tho help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you'ro
buying medicine? , .
If you'ro satisfied with words, you,
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That ono in IDHFierco's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you havo your
money back. On this plan, a medi
cine, that promises help, i, pretty
sure to give it. ikA4k'i
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it'fl 'sola differently.
It's not liko the sarsaparillas, which
arc said to bo gqod, for the blood
in March, April, and May?' At nlL
seasons and in all "casMJlvit cures,
permanently, as nothing elso can,,
all tho diseases arising from a tor
pid liver or from itripuro blood.
It's tho best blood purifier, nnd.
it's tho cheapest, no matter how
many doses aro offered for a dollar.
With this, you pay only for tho.
good you got.
Can you ask moro?
'August
Flower"
"One of my neighbors, Mr. John
Gilbert, has been sick for a long;
time. All thought hirapastrccovery.
He was horribly emaciated from the
inaction of his liver aud kidneys.
It is difficult to describe his appear
ance and the miserable state of hi9
health at that time. Help from any
source seemed impossible. He tried
your August Flower and the effect
upou him was magical. It restored
htm to perfect health to the great
astonishment of his family and.
friends." JohnQuibell, Holt, Ont.a
