10000 DOLLARS REWARD

IT is estimated that 10000 persons die annu-
1 ally in the United States, with consumption,
and Professor Eberly says, that vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use of
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root OF
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
feet, that any one using it freely, according to
directions for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
Single dose, and broken up in a few hours time.
The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bot
tie before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.
IL Call on the agent and get pamphlet gra-
tbs.
1t has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most skillful physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have eXer-
cised their skill in vain. Cases which they pro-
nounced incaadbie, and surrendered as hopeless
beyond a doubt, leaving the patients without a
single ray to enven them in their gloom, have
been cured by DIR. HALLS BALSANA,
and the "victims of consumption" are now Wig
orous and strong as the most robust among us.
And these cases are not isolated ones they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every COM
munity, where this most unrivaled remedy has
been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce you to give up. act
upon the principle that tohite there is life there is
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you may
not trust, humanity speaking in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds, has it
brought almost from death MT, when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harm
less remedy a trial.
The public have been imposed upon by RENE
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source.
We believe that medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is no paregoric prcpar-
alton, but one which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands

Pulpit Anecdotes.

The Rev. Mr.. Peters, Of Tennessee,
was preaching, and, having gin Of con-
tinuancc, was somewhat protracted in
his discourse. Several of his hearers
left in the sermon. One young man
was on his way to the door when Mr..
Peters pointed his long fingers at him and
said Breth,rn, that young man has
just ns good right to 90 out as any one"
1t is needless 10 say that he was the last
dcscrter.
AT another time while Mr. Peters was
preaching, young man started to leayo
the house, and making some noise us ho
went, Mr. Peters pause d, and suid
81 will finish my discourse when that
man gets out.
The fellow very coolly took his scat
and said
Then il will be some time before you

The preacher, however, was up to him;
and remarklng
"a bad promise is better broken than
kept" went on with his sermon.
The following is attributed to the eel
eLraied Roland Hill.
Two strangers passing the church in
which he was preuchlng, entered, walked
up the isle, and finding no seat stood for
q while ard listened to the sermon. Pres
entity they turned to walk out. Before
they reached the door the preacher said
i" But | will tell you story"
This ar ested the stranger /; and they
paused, turned again, aud listened
4" Once there was man." said tho
speaker, who said that IL he had all the
axes in the world made into one, great
axe, und all the trees In the world made
one great tree, and he could WELD tho
axe and cut down the tree, he would

The strangers thought they hud heard

sumed their walk in the street.

rectly to the White House, with General
