The Health Institute.

By Roswell F. Cottrell

THERE can be no reasonable doubt that our people have moved in the order of Providence in undertaking the enterprise of establishing this Institution. Success thus far has attended the effort beyond, perhaps, the expectation of the most sanguine. But the work is not yet completed. It needs to be pushed forward with unabated zeal and energy. The stock is not all taken up by any means. Those who wish to dispose of their means in a way to do much good, are requested to take shares; not merely for the purpose of a fair compensation for the use of their money, by way of dividends, but to benefit and save men, soul and body, and provide for themselves “bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens.”

Who that is in comfortable circumstances cannot afford to have, at least, one share in this Institution? To those who have their thousands, that in a little while will be as worthless as the mire of the streets, I would say, Now is a good time and opportunity to invest it to advantage; now it will do vast, almost incalculable good; soon it will be worthless.

Venture out, brother, in a cause that is so evidently under the guiding and controlling hand of God. R. F. COTTRELL.
