Charge on the Enemy.

By H. A. St. John

Drug almanacs with flaming advertisements of patent medicines are a dangerous enemy to our race. This mighty foe is marshalling his hosts, and preparing for his yearly, terrible charge upon the human family, the effects of which are always felt throughout the rest of the year. What shall we do?

Let me tell you one thing to do. An excellent health almanac for 1877 is ready. It teaches the true healing art and how to preserve health, and is therefore a deadly enemy to patent medicines and drug almanacs. The array of tract workers in Ohio will soon have five or six thousand of these almanacs in their ranks, and then we want to see an active movement all along the line. A lively, continued charge on the enemy until all these almanacs are judiciously distributed, will do much in staying the tide of evil, and save some souls from sorrow, pain, disease, and an untimely death. Be all ready for orders. H. A. St. John.
