VICK’S FLOWERS.
What radiance do I see?
What color-wave outflows,
Making the wilderness rejoice
And blossom like the rose?
From sea to sea it pours,
From east to western strands,
Softening the stern Atlantic shores,
Brightening Pacific sands.
The South-land grows more sweet;
By broad blue Northern lakes,
Fair as auroral flushes fleet
The fragrant flower-tide breaks.
Our fertile vales make room
For this benignant grace;
The prairie’s wealth of native bloom
Gladly to this gives place.
O, lovely enterprise,
Refining where it goes,
Making the wilderness rejoice
And blossom as the rose!
—Virginia Westwood.
“Only the Scars Remain,”
Says Henry Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen Machinery Co., Philadelphia, Pa., who certifies as follows:
“Among the many testimonials which I see in regard to certain medicines performing cures, cleansing the blood, etc., none impress me more than my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became running sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old
Mother urged me
to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the Scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer’s Sarsaparilla advertised in all parts of the United States, and always take pleasure in telling what good it did for me.”
