INDIAN ROOT PILLS.

DIR. MORSE, tho inventor Of MORSE'S INDI-
AN ROOT PILLS, has spent the greater part of
his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia
and Africa as well as North hmerica--has spent
three years among the Indians OF Western
country--it wasin this way that the Indian Root
Pills were first discovered. DR.. Morse was tho
first tman to establish the fact that all diseases
rise from impurity of THE BL0OD--that our
strength, health and life depended upon this vi
tai fluid. E t..t'
When the various passages become cogged,
and do not actin perfect harmony with the dltfe-
rent functions of the body, the blood loses its
action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased
thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of
every name our strength is exhausted, our
health we are deprived Of, and If nature is not
assisted in throwing of the stangnant humors,
the blood will become choked and cease To act,
and thus our light of life will forever be blown
out How important then that we should keep
the various passages Of the body free and open.
And how pleasant To us, that we have ii in our
power to put a medicine in your reach, namely
Morsc's Indian Root Pills, manufactured from
plants and roots which grow around the noun
famous cliffs in Natures garden, for the health
and recovery of diseased man. One ofthe Ioots
from which these pills are made is Sudorlhc,
which opens the pores OF the skin, and assists
nature in throwing out the liner parts of the cor
rnptioh within. The second is plant which is
All EXpectoraRt, that opens and unclOgs the pas
sages to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner
performs ils duty by throwing off phiegm, and

Our Presidents Advising Temperance.

In the year 1888, Mr.. e. G. Delayan,
by personal application, obtained the
signatures of Presidents Madison, Ad-
ans, and jackson, to a declaration a.
gainst the use of ordent spirits. Each
successive President has added his sig
nature to the instrument, excepting
General Harrison, to whom it was not
presented. The document is now made
complete up to this time, by the sigma
ture Of the present Chief Magistrate of
the United States, and is as follows:
"Being satisfied, from observation
and experience, as well as from medical
testimony, that ardent spirits, as q
drink, is not only needless but hurtful,
and that the entire disuse Of it would
tend to promote the health, the virtue;
and the happiness Of the community,
we hereby express our conviction that
should the citizens Of the United States,
and especially the young men, discon.
tinue entirely the use of it, they would
not only promote their own personal
health, but the good Of our country and
tho world"

ing 1t is guide to eternity. Itis
a resting place for weary and coreworn
men. 1t is a fountain for n draught at
the river Of life. 1t is house for q
spiritual feast. It is broad beam Of
heavenly sunshine on our great and
wicked city. 1t is green spot in the
wilderness of business life. 1t is the
birthplace of souls. 1t is q place
where Jesus meets with his disciples.
May it continue and increase, until
the windows of heaven arc opened with
the descending blessings"
