RHE UMATISM CAN BE CURED
BY THE PROPER USE OF
MYERS EMBROCATION!

THIS sovereign and effectual remedy for that
painful disease was discovered upwards of sixty
years ago by the Grand Father of the Undersigned,
"a German Physician of his day) and has never
been made known out of his family.
Its incredible cures have astonished thousands
who have witnessed its power over that disease
Unfortunate, despairing invalds, who have been
bed-rdden for years. have been restored to the en-
joyment of perfect health. 1t banishes all pain in
few days. and its efficacy is gladly realized by
the patients being able to resume their usual avo-
Cations after having suffered in torments for
months and years. The wonderful success of the
EMBROCATION, in curing the worst cases Of
Rheumatism, has acquired for it celebrity I'M
precedented, and its fame originated from its
own merits.--It never has failed to cure Rheuma-
tism, either infammatory or chronic; and / feel
safe in saying it will if fairly tried pledge
myself to refund the cash to any person who uses
it properly without being benefited thereby. You
who are afflicted may have tried every other reme-
dy but this. Try IT. and if it does not cure it
will not cost you any thing. BY this rule desire
it should be used
Persons are warned to be on their guard of whom
they purchase, as several mean attempts have
been made to procure the RECIPE from which this
medicine is prepared. The proprietor deems 1t
his duty to say the afflicted, that he will furnish
travelling agents with written authority for depos
iting it,

GIVE 1T TO EN- COLD.

A venerable missionary, who had strug-
gled long and hard TO convert the inhabit-
ants of very cold country to his teach
ings and ,hreatenings, at last was relieved
by young man, who had asked the ell
ders advice as TO the course proper for
him to pursue. "My son." replied he, "for
ten years have given these people the
terrors of the law; have painted the in
fernal regions in their warmest colors; but
the idea has seemed TO please them, and
going to a warm climate was rather a
comfort than otherwise. Now the best
thing for you TO do is, to glue it to EN- cold
make it out fifty degrees colder than it
is here, and guess you'll bring 'em. They
can't resist that, sir. IA The best text book
for the aforesaid young missionary wonld
have been Dante's Inferno. He "gives it TO

KINpNEss.--The humble current Of little
kindness. which though but creeping
streemle,, yet necessarily flows, although it
gides in silent secresy within the domestic
walls. and along the walks of private life,
and makes neither appearance nor noise in
the world, pours, in the end, a more copi-
Gus tribute into the store of human COM

yer ample, that may rush into it with a
mighty sound.
