SCARLET FEVER CURED.
astonishing Effect Of Water Cruel

.dSt0neshahS EUeCt q WdIef GrueA.
A poor child, in William street, was taken down
with scarlet fever. The doctor in attendance had
been remarkably unsuccessful, and determined to
see what no medicine would do: in all the cases
he had heard of this fever fatal, and he con-
cuded that no medicine would be worse than this
had proved. So in this case he ordered Water
Cruel. The poor mother knew how fatal this fever
had been, and she thought 81 will give my child
Brandreth's Pills and the Cruel" So she gave
him four Pills which operated well. The doctor
the next day, was pleased. told the mother the
child was doing well, and to go on with the water
cruel. She did-and four more Pills. Every day
the Goctor ordered Cruel, and every day the mother
gave from two to four Brandreth's Pills. In a
little more than week the child was WE'LL The
doctor said THAT case had given him less on; for
the child was cured simply by gruel whereas every
other of scarlet fever he had had that winter
he had lost, when he had pursued active treatment
But now be was satisfied that Nature was the best
physician, aided by water Cruel; he might have
sded and Brandreth's Pills.

DRoPsY OF THE HEAD CURED.

A poor child, boy about two years old, was
given up to die. The parents, nelghbors and doc
tors had no hopes of his recovery For several
days his breathing had been short and death-like,
and, in fact, those around him supposed another
night would be his last In this stage of the case,
an aunt of the child was sent for, with whom the
little sufferer was great favorite. This lady
having arrived, and being seated by the child, ask
ed few questions as the condition of the chid's
bowels, and then expressed an opinion that Bran
dreth's Pills were capable Of saving its life. She
was so earnest in her remarks that her advice was
followed from the moment. She gave him two
Pills at once, and followed them up with more in
about hour; she crushed the Pills and gave them
in molasses, washing them down with little tea.
given him over twelve Pills, and the discharges
were Of the most malignant nature. Suffice it to
say, that in 6ity-two hours she had given him
ffty-two Pills, and all the alarming symptoms had
entirely disappeared. He is now WE'LL and, tho
before a weakly child, he is now strong; he is
in fact, Ye-made.

"MOTHER. SING JERUSALEM
The Last Words Of Dying Bon.
By MRS. NJ. A, DENNISOr.

By MRS. NJ. A. DENNIsor
A child lay in a twilight room,
With pallid, waxen face,
A little child, whose tide Of life
Had nearly run its race.
Most holy robes the angels brought,
BY holy spirits given,
Ready to wrap the child in them,
And carry him to heaven.
And shining wings, with clasps Of light,
Two shining wings they bore.
To fasten on the seraph child,
Soon as the strife was DER.
Perchance their beauty made him think
Of some harmonious word,
That often from his mothers lips
The dying one had heard.
1t might be, for he whispered low,
"Sing, mother, sing" and smiled;
The worn one knelt beside the couch,
"What shall sing, my child"
Jerusalem, my happy home."
The gasping boy replied.
And sadly sweet the clear notes rang
Upon the even. tide
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end
In Joy, and peace. and thee ?"
And on she sang, while breaking hearts
Beat slow, unequal time;
They felt the passing of the soul,
With that triumphal chime.
"Oh when, thou city Of my God,
Shall thy courts ascend2"
They saw the shadows Of tho grave
With his sweet beauty blend.
"Why should shrink at pain or woe,
Or feel at death dismay2
She ceased-the angels bore the child
10 realms of endless day.
