HEALTH DEPENDS ON PURE BLOOD. Pills Purify the Blood

No Disease can resist 'heir Judicious Use.
 MILD OPERATION WITH SUCCESSFUL EFFECT THE REGULARITY OF BRANDRETH's PILLS Our race arc subject to redundancy of vitiated bile, at this son, and it is as dangerous it is prevalent, but Brandreths Pills afford an invaluable and efficient protection By their occasional use we prevent the collection of those impurities, which, when in suf cient quantities, much danger to the bodys health They soon cure liver complaints, dyspep- sia loss of appetite pain in the head, heart burn, pain in the breast bone sudden fantness and cos tiveness. In brief, Brandreth's Pills work their way to the very roots of disease cleansing in their passage, removing every unhealthy accumulation till the blood is purified, the whole system reDova- ted, and the functions and duty of life become e pleasure, where before they had been sad and weary burdens. Often when nothing has relieved vomit. ing of the most serious character, whether from sea- sickness or otherwise, where the reching has been appalling, single dose of four BRANDRErm's PILLS has at cured, and the patient has fallen into sweet sleep. When the mind cannot collect itself when the memory fails when it is an effort to fix the attention when our sleep is broken and OUT waking hours harrassed with forebodings of evil. then Brandreths Pills should be used If these warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism consump- tion, disease of the heart, bilious affections jaun- dice, dropsies, pes apopexies and costiveness will suddenly present themselves. These Brandi eths Pills would have prevented but nevertheless Me,e they will also cure. Use them at once. Do not les prejudice prevent the of this simple but potent remedy.
 Brandreth's Theory of Disease
 Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By ab- stracting it in painful diseases you may occasion the patient ease but remember, this only he redue- ton or lesseaing Mc pocer to feel And by thus taking away natures tools, you may prevent her from full ly repairing the ravages of inflammation and con- vert what might only have been the sickness of few days or weeks into chronic affection of months and years.
 Brandreth's Pills accord with Nature. Natures remedy in fact When sudden, acute or continued pain occurs from any cause, then to i'm sure a quick return to health, you must use Bran dreth's Pills which will soon relieve every organ from undue pressure, and remove those humors,
 hoso rasence often occasions such terrible suffer- ing

There is great danger that the troops hurrying osteDsibly toward Utah are to be em pioyed in Kansas to uphold slavery constitu- ton. 1t is feared that their supposed march upon Utah was mere pretence to concentrate them upon Kansas, and thus force slave con stitutlon on the inhabitants. Just as they are near the boundaries of the Territory, Gov. Walker makes pretence for their employ ment that the people of Lawrence are cons hitting treason by endeavoring to frame city government of their own ! What will the New Haven Register say to this definition of treason, after claiming that the people of any city have a right to form their own govern ment We fear, lest some evil befal the free state people of Kansas. The inhabitants of Lawrence nave refused to recognize the valid. ity of the existing legislature. They are to be forced to make this recognition by the bay onets of three thousand troops. This is the consequence of James Buchanan's election which we predicted. The fate of Kansas is gloomy.

With the Spring, came other changes The old man had found winding-sheet. ere the snow-drifts had melted-and gone to seek his daughter, he was sure he had heard singing for many a winter night previous to his death. The old woman was taken away from his grave by the children who came across the country to the funeral and went of soon to find home likewise among the mounds of the new settlers burying ground. Their houses were sold, new residents moved into the village, strange children played under the elms, and race more wealthy but less hardy and brave, sprang up about them. Three generations have passed away and a fourth is treading fast towards it's meridian point since the trees planted still the elms hardy and beautiful, promise to shelter the roots, and shadow the streets for many years to come. And now, the pioneers dead-their ohiIdrens children come batk and standing under their wide branches point out to their children the peculiar beauties of these patriarch trees. Your fathers fathers say they planted these trees-a hardy race of men, fearless of danger, and generous and brave forget ting not, even amid the vicissitudes of frontier life to beautify their dwellings, their villages and their farms. Re emnlons of then, ever their fan;ts leaned to the side of virtue.
 The fame of our trees is world wide and vet among us are men so greedy of gain that for few patry dollars they defacing hills, sacrile- giously cutting down the old landmarks by the road side--ths very old patriarchs Under which they played as children-which their fathers spared for wayside shelter for the panting team, and which have risen in vision to the eyes of many of us, as lay sleeping under the tropical skies, or climbed the steeps of eastern lands, of whose history we read in childhood, beneath these same spreading chestnuts, naples and ems Spare, spare the trees! Let your children return to find these old friends the farms as the children of the villa gers here find the old elms.
