MADE WITH BOILING MILK. a THEY HAVE FOUND A GOOD THING. At a large gathering of Jewish children in Whitechapel, someone asked why the gentlemen who took the meeting had come so far. One boy answered boldly and earnestly, " Because they have found a good thing, and they likes it, and they wants others to taste." Let us see if the boy's reasons were good. 1. " They have found a good thing." What had they found? Just what one brother, many years ago, told another he had found—" Him." That gracious One whose voice and speech were so divine and beautiful, that those who heard Him give an invitation were constrained to abide with and follow him. It was a good thing to come to Him ; and those who have so come have also found that " no good thing will He withhold " from them. You remember Nathaniel asked, " Can any good thing come out of Nazareth 1" Cjuld you answer out of a full heart, " This is my beloved, this is my friend " 1 2 " They like it." " We love Him because He first loved us " The Saviour set His seal to it that this was the highest possible love in the heart of man, to lay down his life for his friends One of the Divine Master's honoured servants records it as a reason for his living faith thit the Son of God had given it him by His death, " Who loved me and gave Himself for me." What a blessed and " good thing" if we can answer, " Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee." 3. " They want others to taste." That is the feeling of those who have experi- enced the joy of silva'ion. They cannot rest until, like Andrew, they bring some to that Saviour who died, that all might live unto Him. God wants us, and will show us how we may serve him in this— " What ssek ye 1" " Master, where dwellest Thou ? " '• Come and see.' " We have found The Christ/' Think over this personal interview, saying to yourself, " Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever.

J^ OTESCO, j^ OTESCO. jyOTESCO. jyOTESCO J^ OTESCO. jyOTESCO. ]^ J" OTESCO 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 us 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 ? 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. - NO MORE CONGESTION of the LUNGS. - NO MORE BRONCHITIS. — NO MORE SORE THROATS.
