THE CONSTITUTION.

What is that we call the Constitution 2 The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there
FORE know that the blood is the constitution, and
that good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less than good or bad state ofthe blood. THERE'S
person who, having lost health, does not wish to
have it restored. Use then the proper means. EX-
pei with Purgqtire Medicine all currupt humors
from the body, and the blessing Heattl, will be
the certain result: for all pains unpleasant feel
ings proceed from the presence of corrupt or VI
tated humors, which are the real cause of every
disease, and therefore the only disease to which the
human frame is subject, because they clog up the
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood
Brandreth'S Vegetable Universal Pills cure this
disease: because they remove the corrupt or Vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humorS to give life and health to the bo-
dv 1t is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure provided Nature is not entirely exhausted.

{" | am prepared to say, that for Rheumatic Pains
and the Sore Breasts of females, Harrison's Spe-
cific Ointment has no superior, if indeed it has
any equal, in the whole catalogue of external me-
dicines, as known and prescribed in this country.
Cincinnati Ohio, Oct. 4, 1888.
To Dr. Harrison, Dear Sir l write to con-
gratulate you on the extraordinary virtue of yonr
Specific Ointment in the curing of burns. A
little boy of mine, years old, fell against the
fire place three weeks since, when his clothes be-
becaue ignted, and he was instantly enveloped
in flames After some difficulty the fire was ex-
tingushed, but not before the poor little fellows
lower eXtremltles were almost covered with con-
tinual blister. Having much faith in your oint-
ment, Immediately purchased three boxes, which
applied unsparingly, according to your direc-
tions in such cases. and it is with great pleasure
and gratitude, that | am able to inform you that it
allayed the pain in few hours and in ten days
had effected complete cure. | need scarcely
add that it ought to be in the possession of eve-
ry family, as there is no telling when such acci-
dents may occur. Yours respectfully,

TESTIMONIALS.

OPINIONS OF THE REGULAR FACULTY.
The following are but few taken at random,
from pile of complimentary epistles forwarded
to DIR. Peters by regular physicians, touching the
efficacy of his pills. He feels proud and CRATE
full in being able TO lay such documents before the
public.

Dear Sir-As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale
college, take the liberty of opening correspon-
dence.

of your pills, which trust is the as am full
ly aware that through them you are confeIring
great blessing on the public.
! myself am among those who have been pecul-
iary benefited by their use. Since my arrival
here had been subject to severe bilious attacks,
which had nearly brought me to the grave, but
(and acknowledge it with gratitude,) few box
es of your pills have completely restored me. |
would add that their effect upon Sick Headache
and sour stomach is almost miraculous

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.

a highly respectable physician had charge of pa
ueh' young man, who was almost idiotic from the
suppression OF all his faculties. He never spoke and
never moved Voluntarily but sat habitually with his
hand shading his eyes. The physician sent him to
walk as a remedial measure. In the neichborhood,
beautiful young girl Of sixteen lived with her parents
she used to see the young in his walks and speak
kindly to him. For time he took no notice of
her; but after meeting her for several months he be-
gan 10 look Tor her, and TO feel disappointed il she did
not appear. lie became much interested, that he

lines to him, TO induce him to learn This had the de-
sired effect. He applied himself to study and soon
wrote good and sensible letters TO her He recovered
his reason. She was married to a young man from

PROTECTION

We occasionally meet with one of those hard heart
ed, stiff necked, old fashioned astocats, who wish to
get their silks their wines, their broadcoths and luxu
RES from the old world cheaper than they now do
Such persons, who afford to ride in their English
built carriages imported free of duty, who wear Lon
don made hats, ldsh nnen, cambrck rufiies and
cockney boots, all duty Free and sold here in America
cheaper than our mechanics willing TO make them,
cannot for their lives understand WHY the mechanics
wish Tor protective duty Our grandfather used TO
tell US when we were quite boy, that the true Ameri-
can policy was to manufacture every thing we con-
sumed. When we do that, said he, we shall be
independent. 10 be sure it matters little with the
Hch they can afford TO buy foreign uxuries-but the
poor they would thrive must manu- facture sufficient
TO buy all they consume Project American industry
and America is truly free and independent Depress
American, and you ruin the great of the Ameri-
can people, the farmers and mechanics We speak
particularly OF the farmers because they constitute the
great interests OF the country. The mechanics manu-
lecturers and artisans come next. When their inter
es's are protected, all others will follow, for that of
the merchants depends altogether upon the prosperity
oil the producing classes they merely factors en-
poyed in exchanging the commodities or productions
Of others.
We apprehend it would be far better for the people
OF this country if instead of having their farms and
their mechanical faculties tared, heavy and sufficient
tax were put upon all foreign productions help sup
port our government and give our working population
chance TO live instead of obligng them to pay the
taxes and permitting foreigners to ell our country to
Overlooking with their productions, less price than
we produce them.
