A CARD.-Prompted by an honest desire Of
my heart, wish to lay before the public
which deserves high COMMUNICATION, not only as an
act OF scientific skill, but Of humanity, also. About
two years ago, suddenly, and from causes unknown
to seized with At OF epilepsy, which, owing
to my inability 70 meet the expenses consequent up
on thorough medical treatment, and the diScour-
ARement met with on attempting II, soon became
such las then led to beeve) to defy the skill
of physician. frequently, while in pursuit Of
my calling, thrown down to the ground without the
slightest warming AND although insensble TO the ag
Ones, yet despiSed the miserieS Of my life, and
soon learned to look upon those who would render
assistance shelter me from danger, enemies who
sought to prolOng the existence Of my miseries.-
While in this state, and having previous to my aic
ton tasted the sweets Of life, once more was in
duced to attempt seeking aid Of physician, and by
recommendation, called upon DR.. L. J. CZspkay
told him my circumstances and my inability to
ward him for his services, regardless Of which, how
ever, he undertook my case and with the blessing Of
God was restored to perfect health
Unable to reward him for the boon which enjoy at
present, and yet conscious Of my Indebtedness l
consider il due to myself and TO all afflicted to make
the public, in order that those in need Of med
cal advice may find physician in whom every con-
6dence can be placed.

NATIONAL MORALITY.

Nations. as such, distinctly exist. They
rua their course. receive their blessings aRd
calamities. work out their missions, exert
their influence, have their faults, and their
virtues, and their reputation.
What shall the moral character Of our ma
,ion bei Every citizen must bear his part
in answering that question. II The Bible
teaches this that nations are blessed for
their virtues, and chastised, even destroyed.
tor their sins-Egypt. Edom. Sodom, Moab.
Amalek. Babylon. stand out as distinctly in
Gods dealings. as Balaam, Pharaoh, Caleb.
or David. The declaration Of God. that the
iniquity Of the Amorites was not yet full. re-
veals the reason for his not destroying them
then, and also the fact that he keeps an ac-
count with the organized community as with
the individual.
Nations. as such, may repent. and thus =
vert the doom threatened to transgressors.
Witness Nineveh. Hear the prophet Jere-
miah. speaking from the Lord the National
gospel: Ar what instant shall speak con.
corning kingdom. to pluck up. pull down,
and destroy il; il that nation, against whom
| have pronounced, turn from their evil.
