such as are durable"
We might add volumes Of evidence, but the most con-
vincing proof of the Virines of this remedy is found in its
Consumption.
Probably no one remedy has ever been known which
cured SO many and such dangerous cases as this. Some
no human aid can reach; but even TO those the Cherry
PICTORIAL affords relief and comfort.

christianity may do a work, which, for
time, looks very like a permanent re-

to genuine, lasting reform, are from God
