When grants Of the public. lands may be

That the President Of The United States,

OF his high Office in resisting the aggres-
sions of Congress- upon the constitutional
rights OF the States aud the people, is en-.
titled to the gratitude of the whole Ameri

patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
the conservative element and all who de-
sire to support the Constitution and re-
store the Union, forgetting all past differ
ences OF opinion, to unite with us in the
present great struggle for the liberties of

longed, we extend the right hand of fell

A Great Spring and Summer
INVIGORATOR AND REsTORER.

MTOW IS THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
IN those rERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples,
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body n
sors of diseased blood, and will assume
a much moro formidable shape if allowed
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
q positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from vitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
ventor of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, so common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, rash or
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c.
These cannot be cured without purifying
tho blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
take barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and
still you will not be cured; and, as a proof
Of it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parilas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
moro evidence of impurity of the blood
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less incidence.
The Queens Delight is new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patroniZcd by the
highest dignitaries OF the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 5000 cases have been treated so sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
OF the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness :,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss of appetite. restlesness, want of vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters AS n liver
invigorator, it is of inestimable value. AS
a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and whiskey tonics of the day,
and if you value your life and health a
lants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight, nor is it Com
pound Syrup of Queens Delight, or Sarsa-
parilla and Queens Delight, but simply
Helnitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark Ask for this if you want to be
cured, and see that the name of E. H.
Heinitsh is ON the wrapper. Prepared only
by E. II. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents,
