McALISTER'S
ALL.HEALING OINTMENT.
INSENS IBLE PRESENTATION


HVHIS lNsENsIBLE PERspIaArIoN is the
il great ET.aCU.1.N'1' of ali the LMPU-
RITES or THE BLOOD, the GRAND
!S.aFETY T.aLTE Of all the organs in the
human body, and when in full and healthy
operation, no disease can attack the system.
All disease comes by or is connected with a
check or an arrest Of this LN,SEyNSIBLE
PERSPiRAITON. BY colds, or some 9th
er cause, the pores are closed, and then all the
worn out matter of the body is shut in upon
the internal organs, or under the skin: thus all
sorts OF internal and external disease are pro-
duced Whatever, therefore. will OPEN
THE PORES, and thus RESTORE the
I.NSE.N'SIBLE PERSPIR.dTIO.N IN all
cases, Will do more than any other medicine
known TO cure disease and re-establish health.
Now let me ask every c9ndid mind what
course, in the cure OF disease, seems most rea-
sonabe2 Is II not TO open the pores, that
thereby the insensible Perspirauon may pass
off, cleansing the body and blood of all their
impurities Would you dose person with
MURCURY or other DRASTIC PUR-
| G.41YVES, BLEED or BLISTER TO UNI
STOP the pores? Would not common
sense dictate that the REMEDY should be
applied to the SEaT OF all the difficulties,
viz /: the skin--,hus unlock the doors which
shut in all the mischief, and expel the foreign
matter which wars with the living powers
wilhin2
/ The true philosophy of curing disease is re-
vealed in a manner which putsaI theories and
cayils TO silence, by my All Healing Ointment

4 mERRy GIFT THE SNOW.

= MERRY GIFT THE SNOW.
M MRS. stcouRxrr.
How quietly The snow comes down
When all are fast asleep,
And plays a thousand fairy pranks
Der vale and mountain steep.
How cunningIy Il iinis its way
To every crannv small,
And crecps through even the slightest cliink
la window Or in wall.
T'oevery noteless hin Il brings
A faircr. purer crest
Than the rich ermine robe that decks
The hanghtiest monarch's breast.
To every reaching spray il gives
WlIat'er its hand can hold
A beautcous thing the snow il,
To all, both young and old.
The waking day, through curtaining haze,
Looks forth with snre surprise,
To view what changes have been wrought
Since last she shu, her eyes;
And pleasant thing it Us to sec
The cottage children peep
From out the drift, that TO their caves
Prolongs its rampant deep.
The patient farmer searches
His buried lambs TO find,
And dig his silly poultry out,
Who Glamour in the wind
How sturtily he cuts his way,
Though wild blasts beat him back,
And caters for his waiting herd
Who SILVER round the stack.
Right welcome are those fcathery flakes
To the ruldy urchin 'seye,
As down the long, smooth d hill they coast,
With shout and rcvelry,
Or when the moonlight, clear and cold.
Calls out their throng to play
Oh! merry gift the snow is
For Christmas holiday.
The city miss, who, wrap d in fur.
Is lifted to the sleigh,
And borne so daintily to school
Along the crowded way,
Feels not within her pallid check
The rich blood mantling, warm,
Like her who, laughing, shakes the snow
From powdered tree and form.
tasteful hand the snow hath
For on the storied pane
lsaw its Alpine landscape traced
With arch and sculptored fame,
Where high DER hoary-headed cliffs
The dizzy Simplon wound,
And old cathedraIs reared their towers.
With Gothic tracery bound.
Think it hath tender heart,
For marked it while il crept
To spread sheltering mantle where
The infant blossom slept
1t doth to earth deed of love-
Though in wintry way;
And her tuft- grown viii be greener
For the snow that's fallen to-day.
