acres. There was common sense all around.

The stomach is the most liable to get out Of
order. Hence how important that diseased
matter clog ITS operation, which would cause nau
sea and distress by our food. 1t also weakens the
brain, destroys the memory, creates pains and
dimness, and various Affections in the head. 1t
produces great difficulty in breathing and swal-
lowing. Sometimes fainting and fits will ensue;
also bad breath. restlessness and great loss of
strength. If not Immediately attended to, the
blood will carry the disease through the whole
system, and death will end the work. From 9 to
5 of Morse's Indian Root Pills day will keep
the digestive organs in a healthy condition, and
unclog or carry away all impure matter, and
thoroughly restore and cleanse the stomach; at
the same time the Pills will so purify the blood
as to drive all manner Of disease from the system.
In quantity of corrupted matter, there is al
ways to be found nest of worms. They cannot,
neither will they stay anywhere else. Weak
stomach and bowels are subject to them. as they
have not sufficient power to digest their food
Hence large heap of matter is lodged. and worms
must be the result. few doses Of these pills
will disturb them in their nest, and drive them out
of the system.
1t should be remembered, that an occasional
dose when in health, especially after taking cold,
will prevent the disease from forming in the body.

their application to the particular case. t is

er any given diocese be, or be not, too unwield-
ly for it's Bishop. It may be the turning point
Of life, as from the dead, or of dying .decayin
