UNIVERSAL MEDICINE THE

Established at Washington, ID. Q. Jam s. 1888.
ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citzens:-At a time like the present.
when our country is literally flooded with nosrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it act of temerity in TO offer as can
ddate for your favoor and patrnage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense
however, teaches u.s. that those he BIS which spring
spontaneously from native soil, must be better
adapted to constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which they belong. The climate of the
United States stands unrivalled for the production
OF medicinal plants, and very little investigation
will suffice TO convince the most skeptical that our
country is able 10 supply all our wants, lnde-
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the Importance ofth n
bove mentioned facts venture to recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage Of our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union,
natural remedy applicable to constitutions, and
competent to every durable disease.
In bringing medicine before the public for the
first time, it Is generally thought necessary to I'M
press the people with an idea of the difficulties en-
countered in its discovery, the antiquity of lis

THE sLUMBER OF DEATH

ELIZA
Peaceful and fair is the smiling repose
That the breast graded slumber of infancy knows
Sound is the rest of the weary and worn,
Whose feet have been CALLED with the dust and the
thorn.
Sweet is the sleep on the eyelids of youth
When they dream of the world all pleasure and
truth;
Yet child: pilgrim and youth shall awaken again
To the journeys of toll and the trials of pain.
But oh! there's fast and vsionless sleep,
The calm and the srless, the long and the deep
IT'S the sleep that is soundest and of all,
When our couch is the bier and our night-robe the
pail
No voice Of the foe or the friend shall impart
The proud flush to the cheek warm throb to the
heart;
The lips of the dearest may seek for the breath,
Buther kiss rouse the cold stiffness ofdeath
IT'S long, It's last, It's beautiful rest,
When all sorrow has passed from the brow and the
breast;
And the lone spirit truly and wisely may
The sleep that is dreamess-the sleep of the grave!

MORAL & RELIGIOUS,

Excuses for not going to Church.-There is no
excuse so trivial, that will not pass upon some
mems eonsciences to excuse their attendance at
the public worship of God. Some are so unfor-
tunate as to be always indisposed on the Lords
day, & think nothing SO unwholsome as the air
of a church, Others have their affairs so oddly
contrved, as to be always unluckily prevented
by business. With some it is great mark of
wit, and deep understanding to stay to home on
Sundays. Others again discover strange fits of
laziness that seize them particularly on that day
and confine them to their beds. Others are alb
sent out of mere contempt of religion. And
lastly, there are not few who look upon it as a
day of rest, and therefore claim the privilege of
their castle, TO keep the Sabbath by eating and
sleeping, after the toll and labor of the week.
Now in all this the worst circumstance is, that
these persons are such whose companies are
most required, and who stand most in need OF

love the hearth where evening brings
Her loved ones from their daily tasks,
Where Virtue spreads her spotless wings,
And Vice, fell serpent never basksj
Where sweetIy rings upon the ear
The blooming daughters gentle song,
Like heavenly music whispering near,
While thrilling hearts the notes prolong.
For there the father sits in joy,
And there the che erful mother smiles,
And there the laughter.loving boy,
With sportve tricks, the eve beguiIes
And love, beyond what worldlings know,
Like sunlight on the purest foam,
Descends, and with its cheering glow,
Lights up the christians happy home.
Contentment spreads her holy calm,
Around a resting-place so bright,
And gloomy Sorrow finds balm,
In gazing at so fair sight;
The worlds cold selfishness departs,
And Discord renrs It's front no more,
There PHYS pearly tear drop starts,
And Charity attends the door.
No biting scandal, fresh from he'll,
Crates on the car, or scllds the tongue
There kind remembrance loves to dwell,
And virtues need Is sweetly sung;
And human nature scars on high
Where heavenly spirits love to roam,
And Vice, as stalks it rudey by,
Admires the christians happy home.

And fashion called her senseless throng,

And that fair girls seraphs song.
And swift as circles fade away,
Upon the bosom of the deep,
When pebbles, tossed by boys atplay,
Disturb its still and CLASSY sleep,
The hours have sped in pure delight,
And wandering feet forgot to roam,
While waved the banners of the night
Above the christians happy home.
The rose that blooms in Sharon's vale,
And scents the purple mornings breath,
May in the shades of evening fail,
And bend it's crimson head in death;
And earths bright ones amid the tomb,
May, like the bushing rose, decay;
But still the mind, the mind shall bloom,
when lime and nature fade away.
And there, amid holier sphere,
Where the archange bows in awe,
Where sits the king Of glory noar,
And executes his perfect law,
The ransomed the earth, with joy,
Shall in their robes of beauty come
And find rest without alloy,
Amid the christians happy home.
