The Arabs have a fable that once upon a time a merchant was taking his afternoon nap, when he was startled by a camel's nose being thrust in at the door. " It is very cold outside," said the camel; " I only wish to get my nose in." The miller was an easy kind of man, and so the n03e was let in. " The wind is very sharp," sighed the camel; " pray allow me to get my neck inside." This was also granted. " How fast the rain begins to fall! I shall get wet through. Will you let me place my shoulders under cover 1 " And so the camel asked for a little and a little more, until he had pushed his whole inside the house. The miller soon began to be put to much trouble, as the room was not large enough for both, and the rain being over, civilly asked his companion to depart. " If you do not like it you may leave," replied the b ast; " as for myself, I shall stay where I am. This is a good story, from which we may learn a lesson. There is a camel knock- ing at the door of every heart, young and old, seeking to be let in ; its name is sin. It comes craftily. " Let me in." Only a very little part at first. So in comes the nose, and it is not long before it gets entire possession. Sin, perhaps, offers itself as a servant, but soon becomes master, and the master grows into the tyrant. " When I was a boy I took a halfpenny out of my mothers pocket, while she was asleep— my first theft"— was the confession of a man after a long career of robbery; small beginnings, but see the course and the end of sin— the worst master in the world, paying the worst wages. But there is a strong Deliverer, our Lord Jesus Chri3t. He is stronger than sin and satan. He came " to destroy the works of the devil." He would have us, when we are tempted, look to Him, and He will enable us to overcome. He would have us take Him for our Master, to enter into His service ; for by EO doing we shall find that He pays the best of wages here, and bestows the best of rewards hereafter.

Many people say, " How is it you claim that your medicines cure so many diseases ?" We answer :— In ancient times, when heathenism was rampant, people believed in a god for all good, and a god for all evil; a god for joy, and a god for sorrow ; a god to give sickness, and a god to heal sickness. Jupiter ruled the land and Neptune ruled the sea. Ceres gave cs agriculture, Venus gave us love, and Hebe youth. Now we have grown wiser ; we believe in one God only— whose word was power- ful enough to create EVERYTHING. Is it not possible for that same God to send us one remedy by which we shall cure most things 1 There are a great many locks, and to each lock is a key, but it is not every one who can turn the key. Our " Notesco " is the key to open the doors. Applied externally, it works through the skin and reaches the disease. Taken internally a few times, the doors are opened, the disease escapes like a convict out of gaol, with the intention of never returning. Sickness is just like a burglar— it will steal in, either through a cold, dampness of the houses, adulterated food, or from the impure, foul air of crowded tenements, or sewer gas, from which we have to suffer, in this and other cities. The thief is inside ; you can't get him out because the key don't fit. We now give you the true key. Our medicine is an enemy to corruption and pain. Any corruption it eats away, any pain it relieves at once. Try it. Be warned in time ; keep a stock of " Notesco in the house. We claim our " Notesco " is superior to any medicine ever presented to the public, and we claim it with justice. jy OTESCO.— NO MORE CONGESTION of the LUNGS. NOTESCO, NOTESCO.
