GOOD MEDICINES,

1t is estimated that Ayfr's cherry Pecioral s
Cdfhartfc PHls have dono more to promote i'm
public health than any other one cause. There
can be no question that the Cherry Pectoral has
by its thousands on thousands cures Of Colds,
Coughs, Asthma, Group, Influenza, Bronchitis
&c, very much feduced the proportion of deaths
from cohsumptve diseases in this country. The
Pills are as good as the PectOfal and will cure
more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purging. Purge
the blood from its impurities. Purge the bowels,
Liver, and the whole vsceral system from OBJ
structions. Purge out the diseases which fastcu
ON the body to ~otk its decay. Take antidotcs
carly and thrust il from tho system, before it is
yet too strong 10 yield.
Ayers Pills do thrust out disease, not only
while II is weak but when il has tax en- a strong
hold. Read the astounding statements Of those
who have been cured b. them f.Stn dreadful
Scfotnls; Dtops?, Ulcers, Shin diseases, Rheu-

Safe above in Jesus keeping.
Though removed from thy fond caring,
Heavenly robe and crown she's wearing,
In home Of Gods preparing.

Swcctcr now her smile is cleaning,
Heavens own light around her streaming
From her seat of glory bcndiag,
Still her loved ones here attending,
Care for them with praises blending.
Rnow'st thou not parents loving?
How IIo off some JOY removing,
Brings his chosen back from rowing

Wait and labor till lile's closing.
Then beside the Crystal River,
Thou shalt walk with loved ones ever,

ILL-TEMPER AT MEALS.

Much has been said and written bv
doctors and sufferers on checrfulncss at
the table; but its Importance is not yet
understood. Growing, grumbling,
trowning, fretting, swapping, looking
sour over and around the food which
God has given US, and taught us to eat
thankfully-what shall we say? Shall
we say it is not like peaceful, heaven
born Christianity teaches? May we
not safely characterize it as dvgish and
c!tlsh? 1t is objectionable in any man
who prctcnds to be civilized. But We
only intended when we seized the pen
and wrote the above caption to alludc
to 1t rs it affects digestion. 1t doubt.
less will excite the surprise of some
whose digestion was always good, to be
told that dinner taken amid cheer
tulness, a fine flow of light, easy, cheer
ful conversation, is much sooner and
more perfectly digestcd, than one taken
under contrary circumstances. 1n1cr
at the tube Poisons every dish! We
may almost say this of silence; for our
mature is such, that if VIC can sit down
and cat in silence we may know some
thing about us is wrong. The cold man
IS mad, or the cold woman is mad"
or something unpleasant and wrong
has happened. "A wise man, one who
knows these things, would rather cat
"a dry crust with good cheer, than to
revel in daintics with frowns, iibes,
and jcers, around.
In conclusion We have this piece of
gratuitous advice to give to any of our
readers who may consider this article
aimed ut them, for we expect it will
strike many, as it flies abroad over the
Lana:
1. If you happen to be in an i'll hu-
nor when you are called to the table,
decline going for the present, on the
plea that you arc not prepared to eat
