Iron ms a Medical uemedv,


The coloring matter ofthe blood comes
from the iron therein. which cannot be d.

out rendering the blood unit for the per
feet nutrition Of the different organs. In
such cases the fact is apparent by general
paleness, weak circulation, impaired
breathing, cold extremites, &c.
1t may he asked, from what is the blood
derivedf We answer. principally from the
food But If the food is not properly di
gested, there can be no healthy blood, and
consequently no adequate nutrition Of the
body. The bad blood will irritate the
heart, clog up the lungs, Supply the brain,
obstruct the liver. and cause arrangement
everywhere. The feeble girl will suffer
from chlorosis aud menstrual Irregular
ties. the adult from dyspepsia, neuralgia,
and headaches; many will suffer from boils
aud skin diseases; the bilious from infa
med liver, drop-y and cons ipalion; and
the care worn professional man from every
! i'll in Pandora's box. Now, it is certain
that il the deficient amount Of iron in the
blood can be supplied, the symptoms Of
disease will consequently cease.
Chemistry proves that the only form ia
which iron can assimilare with the blood
rs that Of protoxyde, a salt very liable to
further oxidation; when it becomes neaaly

cline, 10 prevent our going there to get

II it is right for US to go to Virginia

There are 1000 of our negroes now down

what would be the RESULT One half Of

bound Us to catch all We can, and We send
them back at an expense OF twenty -hy'

what does John Bull do when he get'
