SARSAPARILLA BLOOD PILLS,
SHOULD receive preference over all Pills now
~ in existence;
First-Because they are composed Of Vegetable
extracts, free from minerals; and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and old, with
out restraint from occupation, temperate living, or
fear Of taking cold.
Second-Because they are composed Of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than a century past, in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body
Third--Because they may be employed as
mild or active purgative, according to the quantity
taen and their operation will not be attended with
gripping of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
prostraton Of the system, &c., as are produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess a combined action,
not possessed by any other pills, mixture or prepar-
alton whatever. Their first effect is in correcting
all impurities with which the blood and fluids oil
the body may be affected, and by their gently opera
tive effect, removing such impurities from the sys-
! tenn.
Fifth-Because they are the terror of Quacks
and Imposters for most persons are obliged to take
the Sarsapara Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums, to counterac and prevent
| their mschevons and baneful effects.
Sxth-Because they the only pills in which
! Physicians have sufficient confidence to recommend
to their patients, and employ in their practice as
they know they are Anti Quack, Anti Mercural'
| Anti Bilious as well as a good and safe purgative
and purifier of the Blood and Animal Fluids.
Seventh and last--But not the least important,
he because they are prepared by regular Apothe-
cary and Phi, sician, attested ny Drs Physic' Hor-
ner Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson, jackson,
! Coke, Hare, &c, &c, which alone is sufficient to
entite them TO great confidence.
Certificates and Recommendations from Physi-
clans and others accompany the directions around
each box.

During the approaching session of the egmls-
ture, the KEYSTONE will, az usual, be published
twice A WEEK and contain full reports Of tho pro-
ceedings III both branches Of the legislature nclu-
ding the speeches Of members, legislative reports
&C. For this purpose, the editors will have com
petent reporters in both houses Of our legislature
az well as at Washington city, thus enabling them
to furnish not only complete report of the proceed
ings of our own legislature, but also Of the ap-
preaching session ofCongress. Having made am
pie arrangements for the bestowal of INCREASED
attention TO the legislative department of their
newspaper, they cherish the conviction, that thcY
will render entire satisfaction in this respect not
only to the members Of the legislature, but 10 the
residing community generally.
As il is more than probable, that the al-engross-
ing ject of the arrangement of the currency un-
der which the community snow aboring, and the
condition of the several banking institutions Of our
state, will constitute topics Of speedy legislative
action the proceedings Of The approaching session
will be fraught with unusual interest, and render
paper published at the seat government, which be-
slows upon them constant attention, vehicle Of
intelligence "most devoutly wishedl"
We would also call to the minds Of our readers
that the great Presidential contest Of 1910 is ap-
preaching with sapid stride, which is to decide,
whether our National Government shall continue
to be administered upon the truly republican pnn-
ciples Of its present iIlustrous head, Martin Van
Buren, or whether the reigns of power shall be
committed to the hands of ultra Federasts and
friends ofa great and blightng monopoly in tho
shape eff a National Bank. The keystone, being
indissoluby welded to the support OF the repub-
can cause, will in this momentuous conflict, battle
manfully on the side Of Van Buren, and Con-
stitutiona Treasury, and contribute its mite to the
advancement and ultimate triumph of the demo-
cratic cause. We shall continue increasingly to
expose the dangerous heresies of the Federalsts
and advocates Of an overpowering monied monopo-
", and spare no eyertions, to render the "Key-
stone" an effective weapon in the hands Of the
Democracy Of the State and Union.
Grateful for the liberal patronage hitherto bes-
towed upon them by the community--a patronage,
which has given the "Keystone' circulation be-
yond that of any other paper at the seat Of govern
ment-lhey look forward with confidence to lis
continuance, and will spare neither time labor
to make it deserved

Of course be diseased thereby, and the whole sys-
tenn parake of such disease. If the doctrine bc true,
and there is not doubt of it (for it is fact accee-
ded to by all, that the scriptures are true beyond
doubt,) then il behooves us to guard against the
consequences of such impurities, and thus preserve
the flesh healthy. If the flesh be healthy, ccnsti-

yody, then must the whole body be healthy.
In vegetables onlJ csn we find the medicine where

Upwards Of ono hundred years experience of the

proved certain vegetables to possess purifying prop

necessary to be made that the active principles Of

The Resurrection, or Persian PiHs.

The name Of these pills originated from the cir
eumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetdries Of Persia. This vegetable production
being Of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
cases Of that country. The extract Of this singu-
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
rope in the year l7S3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all 9TH
cr medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills, The admir-
able effect Of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their uniyer-
sal and healing Writes the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gandular
paTs OF the system are such as viii sustain their
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie

It now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-cmi-
nently the best and most efiicacious Family Medi-
cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Sover-
eign power over disease, they would keep them and

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. E. Chase e. Co.--Gents.--Heaung
much said about the extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills. upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make trial Of
them. My wife was at that time the mother of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and cx-
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
Of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement Cher health being
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in
short time she was enabled by their 10 attend to
the cares of a mother to hT family until her con-
finement. AT the tins she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks previous, she
was afflicted with dy hard cough and frequent
severe cramps which the use Of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box. 1t is with the
greatest confidence that we advise all those about to
become mothers to make use OF the Persian Pills
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in few days. There does not
appear be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement where these Pills ta.en.-
We unitedy say, Jet none neglect taking them, fol
they are in the reach of the poor well the rich
We are truly thankful that there is remedy which
females can easily procure which tends to lessen tht
world Of suffering which many of them have to bear
and perhaps the lives of thousands which woul,
otherwise be lost
