MORE AGILLERISM.

We have heard Of two more melan-
chofy cases of Millerism. In one, a
widow, residing up town, owned two
houses, with the rents of which she
supported herself and little family with
ease. She became a Millerite--sold
her property-distributed the money
among the leaders for the purpose of
disseminating the doctrine to which
she had become convert, and is now
almost beggar.
In another case, man down town
closed up his business and shut up his
house. Becoming still more infatua-
ted he requested his wife to put Grape
upon the door, and say he was dead.
This she refused to do, saying that
it would be false. The man still
persisted-craped the door himself
and then went to bed, in apparent ex-
pectation of the Second Advent We
fear that some of these victims will not
wake from the delusion until they have
reduced themselves to condition Of ut
ter poverty.-BickmeU's Reporter.
The Baltimore Sun of Thursday says:
aihe immersion of converts TO Mil
lerlsm took place again yesterday af
ternoon, in the Falls, and one Of the
candidates, female, after baptism, be-
came SO violently excited that it was
only 81 great exertion that the man
who baptised her could prevent both
her and himself from second plunge
headlong into the stream. On getting
to the shore, it became necessary for
others to hold her, until she tainted and
sunk away, senseless with exhaustion,
and was borne into a neighboring
house. We have heard of several in
stances OF pecuniary sacrifices of truly
lamentable character, involving ire
trlevably the means of future subsis-
tence."

0r IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pai

Or IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest
Thus in persons whose blood is impure should
they have a cold, the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
the trouble; so with other affections All
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
PILLS, which cannot iniure, and which can
not be overdone. Only use them in the com
mencement of any disease. use them in full
doses and you will be up and we'll, while
those who are too wise to take such a simple
medicine, are bed ridden, or premuturelv end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only be.
ginning to be appreciated; they are found to
never deceive; they are the only internal
medicine required in this climate.
Be careful Of pretended universal purgatives,
which cannot be usec. without injury to the
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
they Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandrethi Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purport ting to be
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse
quence of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out I'm
der other colors equally false, Observe the
makers and travelling agents. Are they not
men whom DR. Brandreth hath cast off. not
for good conduct truly Is not this true as
applicable to the pretended i" hadia,a,'' and, in
fact, to nearly all the advertised pills of the
day! Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands of these unprincpled mem Surely
not.
The Brandreth Pills give strenth for weak
ness-they are liked best by those who have
taken the most of them. DR.. Brandreth cal
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed of sickness by theil
use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavailing. These cases are continual
ly occurring in this city and in every part o
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if you arr
not perfectly healthy, and they will restor,
you-if medicine can do it-because they ex
pei those humors which are the cause of i'm
purity of the blood. and at the same time tht
body is strengthened by the operation of thi
most excellent medicine.

TEYHE most popular remedies of the pres
b ent day are those which cleanse and p,ri-
fy the blood, and which are known to be in
nocent in their qualities. Such remedies as
Anthony, Mercury, Zinc, and the having re-
course to Bleeding in diseases, are now, It is
hoped gone out of fashion. and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine.
Then Brandreth's Vegetable Uaircysd Pills
will be used and appreciated. They are
known to act beneficially on query part of the
body; being taken up by the chyle they pass
into the blood, which they purify; and it
should he remembered that they only remove
those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of any kind.
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vitiated hu
mors with vegetable medicine of this kind,
which eighty four years have proved never to
do injury, but always good.

he overheard two ladies in an adjoining
state-room, who kept necessarily calling
upon that indispensable Figaro, the
"Steward." "Steward!" called one
in smothered voice as if of intense sui
fering, edo come and open this window
or | shall die!!" The window was &C
cordingly opened; but directly the 9th
or lady exclaimed, "Steward! do come
and shut this window, or shall die!"
This, too, was obeyed, when the first
order was repeated, followed by the
other ir the same terms-and this con-
tinued until things began to grow serl-
GUS and the poor Steward commenced
turning very red and perspirlng with
yexation. At this moment a gentle
man, who had been a quiet observer Of
the scene, cried out in loud voice,
"Steward, why don't you wait upon
the ladies' there? shut the window till
one of them is dead, and then open it
and finish the other!''

OtrAn attentive perusal of the JolO,cing tciH, it

ache! This disease is one from which arises more
misery to the human family than is generally sup
posed not being directly fatal it is often neglected.
or persons resort much to the use of purgatves
and other medicines, to impair their general
health, and often induce fatal disease. This arti-
ole, DR.. SPHoN's HEADACHE REMEDY, from Com
stock d Co., now offered, seems to have overcome
these difficulties. While its effects are most pow
erfu and immediate in curing attack or keeping
it off, it is so perfectly mild and innocent as to be
used for infants with the greatest effect and safety
This has now been tested by so many of the high
est members Of this community, as to require no
further proof.
If taken few times in as many hours, when
there indications of an approaching attack, it
Is in all cases to prevent the attack. If used
for few weeks, the premonitory symptoms grad
ually subside, until they wholly disappear, and
never, without some great external or predispos-
ing cause, If the person negects to use it
till the headache commences, it sometimes cures
instantly, but at others the turns will have their
course for two or three times, and then wholly dis
appear.
