A Stray methodist Preacher

Mr.. I. S. Holland, 81 = Pem~:"r "ke' CHRIS s.

$l50 tor the capture and return to him
ofThomas Whitlock, Methodist preacher
twcnty-eight years old, and weighing one
hundred and eighty pounds. If caught
in free State, the reward will be $780,
Thomas, it appears, has thought best to
change his relation from the local to the
itiaerant ranks, and in all probability with
out "ofhciap authority. He is now evil
IDENTITY in the travelling connection. Wheth-
er he will continue in his present 'rela-
tion," or go back into the local ranks, will
depend very much on circumstances
He weighs $50 pounds, and is % years old!
His advertisement does not say whether
he is long or short, black or white, or
compromise, only he weighs 1870 pounds
and is % years old! Has any body seen
stray Methodist preacher Of the Aforesaid
age and weight in this region? We hope
our "church officers will do their duty in
this matter, and see to it, if possible, that
Thomas is taken back to his rigbtfuf pro-
prietor, [. S. Holland Of Pembroke, Chris:

for private members, class leaders, &c., to
abscond from their lawful owuers. how
much more atrocious is it for preachers to

s q constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, 1t
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint isvariously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the 'venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary.in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed,
Il seems to be the rod Of Him who says, ~
will visit tho iniquitics OF tho fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt OF ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles In the glands, swellings; and on
tho surface, eruptions OF sores. This foul cor
. ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, 50 that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs arise from or
ore aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNYs FIRE,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA

in " impurity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. Tho
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
