IMPORTANT
IRON IN THE BLOOD.

II is well known to tho medical profession
that IRON is the Vital Principle or Life IL
ement OF the blood. This is derived chiefly
from the food we eat but If the food Is not
properly digestcd, or ifJrom arg carsc Whatever
the necessary quantity OF iron "a not taken in
TO tho circulation, or becomes reduced, the
whole system suffers. The bad blood will ir-
stupcfy the brain, win otstruc. The liver, and
sendits disease producing elements to all parts Of
tho system, and every ne viii cuifcr In what
ever organ may be p.cdispc-.d tn disease.
The gica. value of IRON AS A MEDICINE
is we'll known and acknowledged by all med
cal men. The difficulty has been 10 obtain
such preparation Of it as will enter the circu-
ation and ossimilate at once with the blood.
This point, SAYS Dir. Hayes, Massachusetts
State Chemist, has been attained in the Peru
Wan Syrup, by combination in 4 way before
unknown.
TIE PERUVIAN SYRUP

OF IRON. A NEW DISCOVERY IN NED

Giving 1t Up.

The Newburyport Herald, heretofore fierce
pro-slavery sheet, ,~interprets the signs of the
times and the course Of public opinion as fol-
lows:
Slavery is to he abolished before this war
closes, come what will, oppose what will,
and cost what it may. Tue political oppo-
stion may say that The people do not have
freedom TO express themselves; that does
not matter; they will not stop upon any
nice points; an expression will be had, and
recorded. They may tell us that the Un,
ion-as we have understood it-cannot be
so restored, or the Constitution be preser.
we'd. Let il be so; some Uuion-a uuion
of terrtory-can be had from the Lakes
to the Gulf, and the Constitution will be
in force with all the modern improvements

may have wished, or believed, or labored
for, we may as well prepare for the present
as it is, and let the future look out for it..

be the gamers; and if worse, we shall only
share the common lot; but better or wors e,
it is useless TO whine and grumbIe about
what the people have determined shall be !;
and if we read Alright the signs of the times
the popular decree ruus thus: First, that
this country shall be one nation; not an
acre or rod of it to be given up, if the war
must 90 on forever aud eternally for its uni,
ty, and though we shall have to lay waste
State after State, Till territory bigger
than all of Western Eourope shall be turned
to desert-depopulated aud denuded-for
that epd. Second, that slavery shall be
wiped out. The cause OF The war shall be
removed, more completely than was tie
human race destroyed by the great food
not eight persons surviving in servtuds &c
tell the story OF the past. Thirdly, that
the present Administration, the government
is 10 coninne in power as long as the wal
lasts; Abraham Lincoln, who was constitu
lionaly and properly elected to be Presi
dent OF all the States. to be President til
authority is recognized 10 every State thai
was within the Union at the time of hi;
election. If this is not the meaning of thu
present history, it is written 10 chare cter'
that We do not understand. If this is no
the decision Of the late elections, we fail t
appreciate them; il this is not the popula
voice, then the people misuse the word
they utter.
