The Indian legend of the gift of corn to the
world, as told by Longfellow in The Song of Hia-
srafza. is exquisitely beautiful The red men be-
raculous gift from Heaven. Three times there APP
peared to Hiawatha, the Indian saint and hero a
youth from the skies
Dressed in garments green and yellow,
Sinking through the purple twilight,
Through the splendor of the sunset:
Plumes of green bent over his forehead,
And his hair was soft and golden.
The celestial visitor, calling himself " Monda-
minn invited Hiawatha to wrestle with HIM. and
charged him. if victorious, to strip the gay gar
ments from his body and bury him where the rain
and sun might fall upon his grave Three times
they wrestIed:
When the sun through heaven descending,
Like red and burning cinder
From the hearth of the Great Spirit,
Fell into the western waters.
Came Mondamin for trial,
For the strife with Hawatha;
Came as silent as the dew comes
From the empty air appearing,
Into empty air returning.
Taking shape when earth it touches,
But invisible to all men
In its coming and its going.
The third time Hiawstha was victorious. lie
stripped the gay garments from his celestial adj
versary. buried him he was directed to do, and
watched patiently by his grave.
Till at length a small green feather
From the earth shot slowly upward,
Then another and another,
And before the summer ended
Stood the maize in all its beauty,
With its shining robes about it,
And its long, sef yellow tresses;
And in rapture Hiawatha
Cried aloud, " 1t is uondamin!
Yes, the friend of man, Mondamin ~
And still later, when the autumn
Changed the long green leaf to yellow,
And the soft and juicy kernels
Grew like wampum, hard and yollow,
Then the ripened ears he gathered,
Stripped the withered husks from off them,
As he once had stripped the wrestler,
Gave the first feast of Mondamin,
And made known unto the people
This new gift of the Great Spirit.

contamination is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
" from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation +" indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, will visit the iniqui-
ties of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz publication and
inauguration of the blood. Purify the blood,

TO THosE WHO DON'T THINK

We say that, RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
the most elegant and powerful medicine known In
the world. This is not Boosting; try it, if you
feel scepteal and be convinced 1t combines in its
composition the properties of diffusive stmulant
an anti-septc, mild but effective astringent and
a direct power over the nerves, neither narcotic
nor anodine, that relieves pain, In manner pecu-
liar to ITSELF and for which we have word in the
English language exactly to express its action.
The French call it Souldgement. So much for its
internal administration. When applied external
", it will be found most powerful counterfeit
tant instantly reddening the surface to which it is
applied and Withdrawing the blood from some
neighboring part, where it may be congested on
heaped up causing pain and leading to inhama-
ton Itfulfills the indication of equaizing the cir
culation most effectively, and most beautifully to
minds that can understand its action.
TO THOSE WHO THINK.
Now, we hold that, all external remedies act Ell
Their in of two ways, or combine the action of
both. FIRsT-They act directly upon the nervous
system without touching the blood vessels = the
sanquiferOus system. All Arnca liniments, nerve
liniments, &C.. &C., belong to this class, and con-
sequently only 6enun6 the ends of the nerves, with
out affecting at all the circulation,-may tempo
rarily stop pain-but have not the slightest effect
in restoring the equilibrium of circulation,
tal to healthy action. Or, SEcoNDLY-They act
upon the blood vessels without, as in the case of
depletives, LeecheS or Cups regard to the nervous
system. Now, the fact ls-that, the nerves pre-
SIDE over Inc Dood vessels, ana an external april
cation to be effective must act upon both nerves
and blood vessels.
RADWAY'S READY RELIEF,
We proclaim, has this double action of assuaging
pain, by its specific effect upon the nerves and
equalizng the circulation, by its effect upon the
blood vessels In this way it relieves and cures
Rheumatism, Lumbago, Toothache, Headache, and
a variety of such like complaints. When taken in

testifying to the good effects, and the cures of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
READER! L never knew a single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the mos. decided
beneht. Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient persevered in them for reasonable
length OF time, they have effected cure in every
instance which has come to my knowledge. IL
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not made from common drugs, as all other pills are
but that they are prepared from the medicinal yir,
tues OF certain plants, which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body will mention.
for example, three of these plants, which are well
known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK. and
SARSAPARlLLA. The others are found growing
wild in the forests and their medicinal properties
are ten times more effective than those have
named. Were it not for making known the secret
of valuable discovery, l would not hesitate to
give their names. Suffice it to saw that the midi

its cure of horrible of Scrofula in about three

slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
