qualities of Wstar's Balsam:
Concord, n. H, March 3D. 1916.
Mr.. S. w. Fowle-Dear Sir: Two years ago
the past winter, and sudden and violent attack
upon my lungs by exposure to cold, confined me
to my room and bed for several weeks; and when
recovered was so much oppressed by difficult
in breathing, that was incapable of rapidwalk-
ing and violent exercise, and often was unable to
sleeporres upon a bed by night The suffer-
ing was frequently extreme, and judging from
the ineficacy the remedies used. l supposed
the disease incurable. Being persuaded 10 try
bottle Of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, with.
out the least confidence in its efficacy or that of
any olher prescription, no one can fully under
stand my surprise and joy, when found the diff
Guilty almest entirely removed before one bottle
had been used up. Having a mortal aversion
to medicine, and seldom using itin any form,
nothing but sympathy with my fellow sufferers
induces me to make this public statement, and
recommend the article to others similarly afflic-
ted. With respect, yours truly.

bringing them up without being reproach
to society, has no business TO engage in any
such absurdity. We have the assurance OF
well informed men, that Oregon would be
almost depopulaied, ifihose who are already
there could get awey. They have been de-
ceived as 10 the advantages of the country,
but at the same time the most of them have
entirely exhausted their means in reaching
that territory, and there they are doomed
10 stay, AT least this is the case with all
who have families, and are compelled TO toll
for tEeir support The same remark holds
good as TO California. And now if any
body asks US, as they do almost daily, about
the propriety of going either to!California or
Oregon, with view of lettering their con-
dition, we again tell them not 10 move an
inch-unless they are willing 10 expose their
wives and children 10 all degrees of suffering
and are earnestly seeking worse condition
than any in which they can now be placed.

PRIScrPLEs.-Odrfo refahers sacrificed their
lives in defence of principles. They knew their
importance, and were well aware that unless
principles were recognised they wonld be subject
10 whatever the whims af caprecious monarch
might dictate. The Universe is governed by
principles, and principles regulate the human
system. A certain fixed law governs our ex-
istence, and terminates our being. Now 1t is verr
clear that medicine adapted TO those principles
must remove disease. Thus Oh the quality of The
blood depends the healthfulness ofeveIy part of
the system; if the blood be impure the body is
unhealthy, no matter in what way that impurity
may show ITSELF 1t may be in the head. or the
chest, or the stomach or the bowels, or in all of
them together. WRIHT'S INDIAN VEGE-
TABLE PILLS are of esIimabe value in re-
moving the Impurities ofthe blood, and in giving
tone and vigor to the system.
Beware of Counterfeiis Of all kinds Some are
coated with sugar, others made to resemble in
outward appearance the original medicine The
safest course is, TO purchrse Of the regular agents
only, more Of whom mag be found in every
village and town in the State.
