which had baled the efforts of the most skifu and
experienced doctors, have been permanently cured
by it. These results are the most convincing proofs
of the superior curative properties of this prepara-

satisfaction. While il is most powerful against con-
fTmed diseases, it is extremely gentle medicine
in infancy and youth being quite harmless to even
the youngest, when administered judicously.
This health-restorer accomplishes even moro by
prevention than cure. If taken in season it heals
all irrtations Of the throat and lungs, whether ari

thus prevents that long train of painful and ncurabe
diseases which would arise from the neglect of them
Hence no family should be without it. Influenza
Group, lloarsencss, Whooping Cough, Plcurisy, In
cipient Consumption, and other affections of the
breathing organs, give way before this preeminent
combinations of medical virtues.

Running up Stairs.

It is frequently Of advantage to others,
besides politicians, to know which way
the wind blows; domestica!ly, it is Of con-
siderable practical Importance, when walk
or ride is contemplated; in this case Pater
Families can run up to the top of the house
with his mouth shut, taking two or three
stairs at stride, that when he reaches the
roof there will DO an instructive desire to
draw long breath, and foroibly too, this
sends the Dir to tho rcmotest branches Of
the wind pipe and to tho air-cells, destend.
ing tho them to their fullest capacity such
running from cellar to roof, involving the
climbing Of several pair of stairs, would very
greatly promote lung development, and
would wear off consumption from multitudes
Of the narrow.chested and sodentary. Such
feat performed at three regular times every
day, together with some pumping operation
would cause Q physical devclopement Of the
chest in few weeks, or months, at most
which actual measurement would mathe.

walks, in that they can be attended to every

What Shall the End BE.

While passing along the streets the 9th.
er day, We noticed handbill posted up and
in large letters were the words, "Lost,
Lost!" The thought came across our
mind, how many men, women, and child
ren, fathers, mothers, sons, husbands,
brothers, wives, sisters, daughters how many
such are lost in this nation every year
through intemperance? Lost to friends
to families, to loved ones, to society, and to
the church of Christ! Lost, not only to
everything that is great, good, grand, and
noble in this life, lost not only to manliness
and Christianity, but lost forever in hell
Intemperance digs in our nation every
year fifty thousand graves, and on thehead-
stone Of each we read the words of Holy
Writ, "No drunkard shall enter the King.
dom of Heaven" Then, if this be so, if
those words are true, where are they?
Where arc that vast multi'ul" of immor-
tai souls to spend eternity? LII not in heav-
en-, where? You know the answer. Lost |
Would that we had thousand tongues,
each the "pen of a ready writer" that by
day and BY night, at home and abroad, by
the way side and in the family circle, in the
place of business and trade, in the camp
and on the tented field, on land and on the
sea, in the school. house and shop, in college
and legislative hall, on the floors Of Con-
gfess and in the church of the living God,
wherever lives and breathes a human soul
gifted with immortality--to all such We
would "cry aloud and spare not" saying
lost, lost though art, if though dost listen to
the song of the tempter, and dost partake
of the draught of death! We would carry
with us, if possible, the mingled groans and
cries of the yearly thousands thus slain.
with the walls of the broken hearted left
behind on earth. Lost think Of it, reader
lost no hope no mercy, no salvation, no
retention, and that forever.
Young man, if you ever look upon the
wine. think Of this; and if you will, you
may read in that cup, lost
