formed many cures; sent for box, which
gave wonderful relief, and by using two boxes
and half, am as well as ever was in my
life. Your obedient servant, ]. WELSH.

LETTERS TO MY AGENT IN AMERICA.

RchmOnd, PTginta, May I'd, 1874:
DEAR SIR-It becomes me at tbs time, %
express to God my gratitude for the means he
had made use of, in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of medicine called Pola-
deiphis or India Extract. For the last five
years have been so grievously afflicted with
ReumatiSm, thatI have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
I shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. H.
closed, send you shree dollars, for two box.

and Mr.. Berney will bring it safe to me. You
may tell the world il ismy opinion, that the

that will cure the Rheumatism. With Joy and
gladness. Yours, WIN 6. MEYER.
Extract of Letter from a respectable Phpi.
clan IN Bedford County, State of Pennsy-
rania, to the agentcf the proprietor.
There is in my neighbourhood gentleman
who has been heavily afflicted with Rheuma-
tism for many years. He has been using the
Panacea, to the ameunt of six or seven bottles
without any effect; on seeing the Poladelphl'
advertised, he got friend to call at Mr.. Desl'
ver's book store, in Market street, for box
ofthe pills which he is using, and receiving
much benefit from il; and I am of an opinion
that one or two boxes more will produce a "a.
dical cure. believe it to be valuable med
cine.

MISSIONARIES.

We have lately conversed With an
intelligent master of ship who has
been many voyages to the Pacific, and
lived at different times, for several
months at time, at the Sandwich ISL
ands, and were highly gratiied with his
account Of the progress of the mission
AIRY exertions in that region. He states
that most of the chiefs can read and
write-that orders are sent in writing
from one chief to another, and per
fectly understood-that the children
could spell and read in their own Ian
guage from the instruc lion Of the mis-
sionaries-and that general change
of manners and morals, much for the
better, was taking place in all the Isl
ands. This is proud memorial Tor
the friends of missions. We never
had any doubt Of their usefulness,
if the right means were reverted to
in obtaining the ends. To attemp,
to teach the hallowed doctrines oil
Christianity before the mind Of the
recipient was prepared by the ele-
ments of knowledge, was visionary
in the extreme: and yet this was at
tempted at frss-but experience has
taught these jealous christians the true
road, aud we ars happy to see how
ready many are to travel in it. Mr.
Bingham and his associates at the
Sandwich Islands have conducted with
so much good sense and discretion
that they deserve the appreciation ol
the wise and go,i in every part OF the
world. Bosfon Gd-efe
