Many people imagine that the
only way in which public and pri
vate morality can be improved are
those definite and direct methods
which appeal at once to the con
fidence and the heart. Preaching
and teaching, persuading and warn
ing, exorting ana encouraging,
are instrumentalities worthy of all
honor, and those whose abilities
qualify them for such tasks should
receive every posible stimulus to
exert them in bo noble a cause.
But it ia a great mistake to suppose
that these are the only means to
promote morality. Every truly
civilized influence is also a reform
ing one.
By this we do not mean that
son as especially dangerous. Tho
falling leaves, the decaying vege
tables contribute their share of
contamination. Hood's Sarsapa
rilla furnishes a most valuaide
safeguard at these important
points, and should be usfd in the
fall before serious sickness has laid
you low. .
