HEAL THE SicK.-Men of liberal education
at the present day, devote all their talents
to discover the means whereby they may re-.
move those painful maladies which assaiI the
human frame. There is no nobler art than
that of healing the sick, considering the num-
berless diseases to which man is liable, and
which may cause to drag out a protracted life
of distress, or suddenly cut him off in the
bloom of his existence and usefulness. We
should gratefully sieze upon every means OF
counteractirg their dreadful effects, or causing
aremoval of those clogs TO happiness. In
those cases where the Liver or stomach is the
cause, we would highly recommend Dr. Hoof-
lands German Bit.ers, prepared BY DR. G. M.
Jackson. No Medicine at this time stands
higher than these Bitters, and those who are
suffering from the horrors of Indigestion, we
say they are the antidote.s See advertisement.
