TyHIS INVALUABLE SPECIFIC, first intro
l. duced into Pisa some fifty years since, soon
became so well known cert9sn cure, that
in every town and city, not only on the Conti-
nent but in Great Britain, the demand for IT
was great its merits astounding, that III less
than one year Fl ON its introduction it had snp-
planted all other remedies. The Medical Fa-
Guilty of the principal cities of Europe were
compelled TO acknowledge It's wonderful mastery
over disease. Proprietors of other Medicine,
jealous of its sway, vainly endeavored to stay
its onward progress. Like grass before the
mower, their efforts fell to the ground; and like
fire on the prairies, sweeping all before it. its
onward march became triumphant. 1t stood
forth upon its merits; discerning public
saw, tried and were convinced of its magical
uirtues The massive fortune acquired by DR..
Pareira from the sale of it during the six years
he prepared it, alone bore witness to its NINA
culous meyas.. At the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has late
ly introduced the remedy into the United States.
The number of cures it has already made are
astonishing. Thousands and tens OF thousands
can bear testimony to its efficacy.

The BIBLE.-The Bible must be the invention
of good men or angels, or bad men or devils, or
of God.
1t could not be the invention of good men or
angels; for they neither would nor could make
book and tell lies all the time they were wri-
ting it, saying, "Thus saith the Lord" when it
was their own invention.
1t could not be the invention of bad men or
devils; for they could not make book which
commands all duty and forbids all sin, and con-
demus themselves to all eternity.
|. therefore, draw this conclusion: the Bible
must be given by inspiration of God.-Simpson
