A very important disease over which this Rail

eilicacious than any remedy hitherto EMPLOYED
and in numerous instances when patients had en-
dured long and severe suffering from the disease
remedies, and when MERCURY has been rcsortcd
10 in vain, the of this Balsam has restored the
LIVER to healthy action, and in many instances
effected
PERMANENT CURES,
after every known remedy had failed to produce
this desired effect.
Besides its astonishing efficacy in the diseases
above mentioned, also find it very effoctua
remedy in AS TINA, complaint in which it has
been extensively used with decided success, even
in cases OF years standing.
IL not only emanates from regular Physician
but has also been we'll tested in all the complaints
for which ii is recommended. 1t is not my inten-
ton therefore, either TO cloak il in mystery, or in
any way deceive the public by overrating it's vir-
tues ; the contrary, / shall simply endeavour to
give brief statement of its usefulness and fiatter
myself that its surprising efficacy will enable me

A CONSCIENTIOUS DOG.

My father had dog of the spaniel breed, whose
name WINS Ponto. Now Ponio, though decidedly
pdgg'Sh in point, had always given evidence Of
being more religious than many of his less canine
neighbours. Trde, he would never turn the "other
cheek" and consequently, though he had good
character with the Peace Society, he was secuted
by the non-resi>tents But POnto was always reg
unr at church; and in one instance at least, gave
evidence that he went there with an idea that hon.
esty and religion had some connection with each
other. He was safe enough in his notion. for a
more honest dog than he never barkcd. Ponro al
ways walked into chur CHI with the family, though
he invariably took his seat on the lower stair of The
sacreL desk, and none but the oldest in the congre-
CATION remembered when his seat was vacant
ought to have remarked sooner, that Ponto had
but one enemy in the wide world and who was
that but the deacon Of the church, and our next
neighbor? forgot the cause perhaps some sian
der against Ponto in the days of his puppyhood.
when it must be confessed he was too much addic
ted to fun to comport with deaconish idea of pro.
pre'y. BE that as it may, Ponto growed at no.
body but Deacon Drury, and the deacon threw
stones at nothing so furiousy as at Ponlo. II ci.
Their exemphied the golden rule towards the other,
il was Ponto.
So things stool, at certain time when the par
son was called away on a long journey. But, par
son or no parson the family all went to church as
usual the following Sabbath; and none with a Ion.
ger face or more gracious step than Ponto. His
accustomed seat was taken-and when the conrre-
geton rose for the carly morning prayer, Ponto rose
with the rest-as he had always done-and stood
with closed eyes and open ears, waiting Tor the first
word Of duplication. 70 the utter establishment
of nobody but the sanctimonous Ponto that word
came in the voice Of his only eremy, the pious dca
con! 1t the big bible had fallen on Ponto's tail,
he would not have looked for the cause with more
rapid glarce than he cast upward to the pulpit.
lie gazed his eyes moment on the face of the
deaCon as if to be sure of the sacrege; and them
with a look of plous horror shall never forget
and step rapid as the sancity ofthe place would
allow, he passed out of the house, and took bye
path home across field. From that day forth, as
long as Ponto lived he could never be fltered OF
exhorted to enter the church door again; and when
ever from necessity he passed it on week days it
was with look that said, to all that knew him as
did, of Deacon Drury prays, the church may
