IMPURE BLOOD!

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with 1t, 1t Is
at once distributed to every organ of the
body Every nerve feels the poison, and all
the vital organs quickly complain. The stom-
ach will not digest the food perfectly. The
liver ceases to secrete a sufficiently of bile.
The action of the heart is weakened, and so
the circulation is feeble. The lungs become
clogged with the poisonous matter hence, a
cough and all from slight impurity at the
fountain-head of life-the Blood As if you
had thrown some earth, for instance, in a
pure spring, from which ran tiny rivulet, in
a few minutes the whole course of the stream
becomes disturbed and discolored AS quick
ly does impure blood fly to every part, and
leave its sting behind. All the passages be-
come obstructed, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp Of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood but
regenerate all the secretiens Of the body; they
are therefore, unrivalled as u
CURE FOR BILIOUS DISEA SES,
Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, &C. This
Anti-Biious Medicine eXpels from the blood
the hidden seeds of disease, and renders all
the fluids and secretionS pure and fluent,
clearing and resuscitating the vital organs.
Pleasant indeed, is it to US, that we are
able to place within your reach, a medicine
like the Mountain Herb Pills" that will pass
directly to the afflicted parts, through the
blood and fluids Of the body, and cause the
sufferer to brighten with the flush Of beauty
and health.

Since that time, elk years have passed.
Knowing and understanding English a
little, better, thought it time to unlock
The chamber of my impressions, and give
a just account of my views. The foun-
datiun pf all actions, of all life is laid
down into the hearts of a nation, aud this
cornerstone is called Religion, And
what is religion? 1t is the result Of
Mans thought in regard to the cause OF
the Creation-which "has always been,
was never born, never created, and to
the Spirit which is called God, and to his
fellow beings and the understanding,
that this great God is Love, Wisdom and
lIercy. and that we. according to all doc
trineS, can worship Him with Love, and
that this love must be freely extended
over men and among all men, without re-
gard to tongue Or country; because be-
fore God we are all equal. Let us ask,
therefore, If we are not in the main made
over Que last? | found it SO, anyhow.
There are only very few Christians to
be found, if any-although we live in a
christian country. 1t is too generally the
case, that men will think themselves bet
ter than they are indeed. 1t Is not said
too much, that laymen and even Clergy
men are seeking that blessed Kingdom OF
Heaven, but are holding with all their
might on the things Of the earth, forget
ting the desire to reach the former
" Ninety-nlne dresses and nothing to
wear" his become proverbial, jewelry is
the ladies wish. A very good sermon,
he preached to-day" says Mrs. A. to Mrs.
B., :" but didn't you see what a nice dress
Mrs. G. wore to-day ?--and what beau
iiful shawl Miss Ellen had on Is it not
beauty?" And the man has pinned his
eye on his nelghbor's collar, to judge if
his wife is good washer or, If he is a
Store-keeper, to see whether he Gan trust
this or that man with few dollars more
merchandise. Such thoughts are not un-
common. Truly, there is. to be much
blackg guarding, self pleasingness, thought
tulness among Christians in these en-
lightened days, and to 60 to meeting has
become by some mere habit, and there
fore they lay off their Religion with their
Sunday-dresses. This may seem hard,
tut it is true To-day we pass BY Pres
byterians, Methodsts, Baptists, Unitarians
Universalists, &c, and among these each
one thinks himself more pious and better
than his brother; but if we open our eyes
to seek Christians, in the true understand
ing of the word,-a very few can be
found if any. Ask yourselves, therefore,
brethren and sisters OF all denominations,

EvrS THOSE who are in the enjoy
ment of perfect health frequently have
need to have recourse to tonics us proven
tives of disease. We are never too well ar
mored against the assaults of s'thc ills that
flesh is heir to-" Such an invignrator they
may find in HosTErTER's BITTERs-a
medicine that cannot be taken regularly
without giving vitality and elasticity TO
the system. At this season, particularly,
the strongest man is not proofagainst the
malaria, in certain sections of this country.
In all cases of fever and ague the nlTTERs
are more potent than any amount of quiz
nine, while the most dangerous cases of
bilious fever yield to its wonderful proper
ties. Those who have tried the medicine
will never use another, for any of the all
mcnts which the Hostettcr Buters profess
to subdue. To those who have not made
the experiment We cordially recommend
an early application to the BITTERs, when
ever they arc stricken by diseases of the
digestive organs. Sold by druggists aud
dealers generally, everywhere.

pIexes the Democrats. The party organs
hesitate to support either, for fear the 9TH

tisuns Of each, in every principal town in
