THE POLYNESIAN.

One thing struck us as remarkable all
over the island the natives appeared to have
somewhat different cast of countenance
from the others of the group, varying but
little, but still pcrceptible, There was more
of the African physiognomy, somewhat
darker skin, and on the whole, more re-
pulsive appearance The women were par
ticularly homely, and destitute of all person
al attractions. 1t may be that we saw only
the worst portion of the inhabitants, but such
was the fact in regard to those we met.
We arrived at HiIo the same afternoon,
and spent the two following days there. On
Sunday Mr. Coan preached, in familiar,
conversational manner, to congregation of
two thousand persons. They made quite a
respectable appearance, being mostly cloth
ed, and listened attentivcly to the sermon.
The plan of Mr.. c. to engage their atten-
ton, by colloquial discourses, appeared at
least in this instance, to be eminently sue
cessiul. And in all native congregations
we should think it much better calculated to
arrest their attention, and meet their under
standing, than the more stiff and abstruse
discourses of most other preachers.
The next day, the vessel being ready,
we left this pleasant spot with much regret,
and with a sincere desire to revisit those
families, whose attentions contributed so much
to our enjoyment while there. Besides we
had travelled just long enough to become in
ured to.the hardships, and to have our curl
osity awakened to visit all we had left I'M
seen. But duty compelled us to return
and leave the remainder for another tour,
and if our readers have been at all interest
ed in these way-sde notes, our labors are
more than repaid.
The plate which accompanies this paper,
is a sketch of the three hills formed in the
sea by the late eruption. 1t was executed
at Lahainauna, by native, and gives a We
ry good idea of the appearance of the hills
at the period of our visit. 1t may also be of
interest as a specimen of Hawaiian skill.
The black rock on the right, is intended to
show the old line of coast over which the la
va has flowed, and broken up in the rough
manner as shown in the plate. The left en-
tremity is where the sea now washes up,
about a third Of mile distant from the old
coast. The whole surface should have been
represented with much more smoke and
steam issuing from it, but our not being on
the spot during its engraving, has prevented
that accuracy of detail by the artist which
might otherwise have been given.

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. E. Chase 81 o.-Gents.-Hearlng
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
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 enabled by their use to attend to
the cares of mother to her family until her con-
finement At the time she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks p evious, she
was afflicted with a dry hard cough, and frequent
severe cramps, which the of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box. 1t is with the
greatest confidence that advise all those about to
become mothers to make of the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neghbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in few days. There does not
appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where these Pills are aken.-
We unitedly' say, let none neglect taking them, for
they are in the reach of the poor well as the rich
We are truly thankful that there is a remedy which
females can easily procure which tends to lessen the
world of suffering, which many of them have to bear
and perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise be lost.

Sc EE.v REASONS WHY
DIR. LEIDY'S
NARSAP

SARSdPARILLA BLOOD PILLS
&tHOULD receive preference over all Pills now
~ in existence:
First-Deceuse they are composed of Vegetable
extracts, FREQ from minerals and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and old with
su. restraint from occupation, temperate living,
fear Of taking cold
Seeond-Because they are composed Of such
medicinal extracts, have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than 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
taken, and their operation will not be attended with
gripping of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
Prostration of the system, &c. ss are produced by
ether pills.
Fourth-Because they possess 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 OF
the body may be affected and by their gently opera
tive effect removing such impurities from the sys-
Nm
Fifth--Because they are the terror of Quacks
and Imposters for most persons obliged to take
.he Sarsaparla Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums to counteract and prevent
their mischevons and banefu effects.
Sixth--Because they are the only pills in which
Physicians have sufficient confidence to recommend
to their patients, and employ in their practice as
they know they Anti Quack, Anti Mercural,
Anti Bilious as well as good and safe purgatIve
and purifier of the Blood and Animal Fluids.
Seventh and last-But not the least important,
be because they are prepared by regular Apothe-
cary and PhysciAn, attested ny Drs. Physic, Hor-
ner, Chapman, Bewees, James, Gibson, Jackson
Cexe, Hare &C., &c. which alone is sufficient to
sntitle them to great confidence.

sians and others accompany the directions around

1t is now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they arc preemi-
nently the best and most eliicacous Family Medi-
cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Soyer
eign power over disease, they would keep them and
be prepared with sure remedy to apply on the Grs
appearance of disease and then how much distress
would be avoided and money saved, as well as the
lives of thousands who are hurried out Of time by
neglectng disease in its first stages, by not being
in possession of a remedy which they can place de-
pendence upon.
The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries 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 established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1888, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases where all 9TH
er 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 univer-
sal and healing writes the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gandular
part of the system, such will sustain their
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.

such neglect shorten their days, and hasten their fl

lion, and hundreds of parents annually follow their
own children to the grave, having died from some
affections of the Breat and Lungs, which we've neg
lected in their first stages.
