NEW THEORY RESPECTING TIE EARTH. &C.
The Hon HI W Taylor of Canandaeua, y.
II. il lecture delivered ia Paterson n. J.
last week, as reported il the Paterson Guar
dian, contrayerted the commonly received
opinion that the earth il an oblate sphcroid,
and holds that instead Of being fiat near the
poles there is a hollow deprcssion-qu
il support Of this opinion, recent geograph-
cal discoveries Extending 2OOOmiles across
the poles is warm sea whose existence
would be Incompatible. with the received
theory.

Mr. Taylor cited the opinion Of Sir John

AZ ABoIITIoNIsT-- For nearly thirty years
II has been question i'll this country as to
what constitutes an Abolitioni,t. It will be
satisfaction to many I'd have the question
settled, and We accordingly take pleasure ii
copying the following authentic definition of
the term from 7he Southern Ltra,y Mes-
senger, a respectable Richmond Magazine
An Abolitionist il any man who does not
love Slavery for it, own sake. as divine in
stitutlon; who does not worship it as the
corner stone Of civil liberty who does not
adore it as the only possible social condition
on which permanent republican government
can hc erected and who does not in his in
most soul desire to see it extended and per
petuated over the whole earth. as means OF
humane reformation second in dignity, I'M
portance and sacredness alone to the Christ
ian religion He who does not love African
Slavery with this love is an Abolitionist. =
If the above DC a correct definition then
there are multitudes Of men, even in the Slave
States who have heretofore supposed them
selves utterly free from all taints Of the lep-
rosy. who are covered with it from head to
toe.

CONSTIPATION OR COSTIvENESS.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- is so
prevalent, so little understood and so much neg
lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness or sedentary habits; it is regarded as
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and COM
panion of many of the most fatal and dangerous
diseases, and unless early eradcated it will bring
the sufferer to an untimey grave. Among the
lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual at
tendant are Headache, Collie, rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles and others of like nature while q
long train of frightful diseases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentery, Diarrhea, Dyspep-
STA, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hy-
pochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indi
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom Not unfrequently the diseases named
originate in Constipation, but take an indepen.
dent existence unless the is eradicated in an
early stage. From all these considerations it fol
lows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever it occurs, and no person should
neglect to get box of Cephalic Pills the first
appearance of the complaint, their timely use
will expel the insdious approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

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 afec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTULEs,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "in,pwity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

Is constitutional disease, q corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and NAV burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is yariously
caused by mercurial disease, low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, /" l
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, In
the lungs, liver, and internal organs; h termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and ON
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corr
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons 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
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous /;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, 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.
