CONFIDENCE said Lord Chatham, is a plant of slow growth, People believe in things that they see, and in a broad sense they are right. What is sometimes called blind faith is not faith at all. There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust. In regard to n medicine or remedy, for example, people ask. "Has it cured others ?. Have cases like mine been relieved by it? Is it in harmony with THE above Steamer having arrived, Con- the truths of modern science, and has it send in their Bills of Lading for countersigna
