SANDS Observation-Disclosures and
experiment have demons rated that upon the con-
dition of the blood, depends the health of the
body. Consequently, when disease in the shape of
s~crofula, Erysipelas, Ulcers. Cutaneous Eruptions,
Liver Complaint &C., appear, it is at once evident
that the s~ecretive functions have become inert.
and impurities have been engendered in the blood
which are working their way to the surface
This celebrated Extract will speedily purify the
blood, ~equalize the circulation, improve the appe,
tite, impart tone and vigor to the system, and
gradually, but surely, e~xtirpate the disease.

Professor O. NJ. Mitchell delivered, Tues
day night, in Philadelphia, one of his spleu-
did astronomical lectures. The following
statement or a remarkable fact is given in a
report of the lecture:
He had not long since met, in the city of
St. Louis, man of great scientific attain
ments, who, for forty years, had been en-
gagged in Egypt in decypheriug the hero
glyphics of the ancients. This gentleman
had stated to him that he had lately uuray-
eled the inscriptions upon the coffin of a
mummy now in the London Museum, and
that in which, by the aid of previous obser-
vations, he had discovered the KEY to all the
astronomical knowledge of the Egyptians.
The zodiac, with the exact position Of the
planets, was delineated on this coffin, and
the date to which they pointed was the au-
tumnal equinox in the year 1922, before
Christ, or nearly thirty-six hundred years
ago. Professor Mitchell employed his as
sistants to ascertain the exact positions of
the heavenly bodies belonging to our solar
system on the equinox of that year (l722
B. C9, and sent him correct diagram of
them, without having communicated his OBJ
iect in doing so. In compliance with this
the calculations were made, and to his as
tonishment on comparing tho result with
the statements of his scientific friend alrea-
dy referred to, it was found that, on the 18th
of October, 1922 B. c., the moon and
planets had occupied the exact points in
the heavens marked upon the coffin in the
London Museum.

Fever and AgUe,

from which mankind suffer over large part Of
the globe is the consequence of a diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalatiOn is evolved by
the action Of solar heat on wet soil and rises with
the watery yapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earhs sur
face and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts an irritating
poison on the internal vsccra and eXcrehng organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent consuti-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathizc with the liver, and become
dsordered also. Finally the instinct Of our Or
rapism as if in an attempt to oXpel the noNous
Infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretores to force them TO cast 1t
ont The blood leaves the surface, and rusieS to
the central organs with congestiye violence: This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as IT in
another effort to eXpel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In TINS
also it fails, and the system abandOns the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery OF strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUE.
Such constitutional disorder will Of course under
mine the health if it is not removed

Bayara TayIor's Poem 70 California;
Bayard Taylor closed lecture delivered
in San Francisco on the 18th Of October,
with recitng the following poem, which had
been written on that day:
CALIFORNIA.
o fair young land-the youngest fairest far
ofwhich the world can boast,
Whose guardian planet, evenings silver star,
uumes thy golden coast.
How art thou conquered, famed IN all the pride
OF savage beauty still
How brought, o panther Of the splendid hide,
To know thy Masters will
No more thou sittest on thy tawny hills
In indolent repose;
Or pourest the crystal Of thousand rills
Down from thy house Of SHOWS.
But whero the wild oats wrapped thy knees in gold
The ploughman drives bis sharei
And where through deep, thy sreame are rolled
Tho miners arm is bare
Yet in thy lap, thus rudcly rent and torn,
nober seed shall lie;
Mother ofmighty mon, thou shalt not mourn
Thy lost virginiy
Thy human children shall restore the grace
Gone with thy fallen pines:
The wild, blrbaric beauty Of Thy ACC
Shall round to classic lines
And Order Justice, Social Law shall curb
Thy untamed energies;
And Art and Science, with their dreams superb,
Replace thine ancient case.
The marble, sleeping in thy mountains now,
Shall live in scruples rare;
Thy native oak shall crown the sagcs brow
Thy bay the poets hair.
Thy tawny hills shall bleed their purple wine
Thy valleys yield their oil
And Music, with her eloqueuce divine,
Persuade thy sons to toll.
Till Hesper, as he trims his silver beam,
No happier land shall see,
And Earth shall find her old Arcadian dream
Restored again in thee
This poem was received with hearty applause
