- - 80 -. this mild but eficient
Aspurgative PILL. The
-. obvious reason is, that
remedy than any other. Those who have
tried It, know that 1t cured them; those who
have not, know that It cures their neighbors
and friends, and all know that what it does
through any fault or neglect Of it's compost
ton. We have thousands upon thousands OF
certificates of their remarkable cures of the
known in every neigbborhood, and we need
not publish them. Ad ipted to all ages and
conditions in oil climates; containing neither
calomel or any deleterioue drug, they may be
taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar
coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use in
any quantity. f
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood and
stimulate it into healthy action-remove the
obatructions Of the stomach, bowels, liver and
other organs of the body, restoring their ire
gular action to health, and by correcting,
wherever they exist, such arrangements as are
tho first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper
which these PILLS rapidly cure:
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Lisuessness,
LanguOr and Loss Of appetite, they should he
and restore it's healthy tone and action.
For Liuer Complaint and its various symp-
toms. Bilious Headache, Sick Headache. Jaun-
dice or Green Sickness, Bilious Collie and Bi-
iious Feuers, they should be iudiciously taken
for each case, to correct tho diseased action
or remove the distractions which cause it.
For Dysente,Ty or DiarrhGd, but one mild
dose is generally required.
ae For Rheumatism, Gout, Grduel, Pa,pidtion
= Of the Heart, Pain in The Side, Back and Loins,
they should be continuously taken, as re-
quired. to change the diseased action of the
system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Seedlings, they
should be taken in large and frequent doses
TO- produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression q largo dose should be
taken. as it produces the desired effect by
sympathy.
AS o Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels. into healthy action, restores the
appetite. and invigorates tho systom. Hence
1t is often advantageous where no serious de-
rangement exists. One who feels tolerably
we'll, often finds that dose OF these Pals
makes him feel decidedly bettor. from their
e'esnsing and renOvating effect on the dige estve
apparatus.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

It is some what remarkable fact that
of the six thousand and odd children
which have been born to Father Time,
not one has lived longer than twelve
months. We have known personally
and Intimately some forty of these chill
dren, each of whom was pronounced
happy on the day of his birth; and there
after, by common consent, his happiness
seems to have ended. 1t must be own
ed, however, that the lives of few-a
very few-have been happier than 9TH
ers. AS for this last happy youngster,
1869, who came into the world on a
wretched, rainy Friday, it is as yet too
early to predict what his career will
bring forth or what his end will be-
The ides of March may throw some
light on the matter. Enough for us to
know that 1863 can hardly prove more
troublesome brat than 1868. SO many
vile years have come in succession, that
the chances are IN favor of be; ter ones
hereafter. At all events, let us hope
go. But betide what will, or veal or
woe, our readers have our heartiest
wishes tor their prosperity in this pre-
sent life and their unendiHg happiness
in the life to come.

DIR, HARRIS ON sCARnATINA.

In his regular weekly letter submit
ted to the New York board of health,
DR.. Harris offers the following sugyes-
tions relative to this fearful disease:
This deadly foe of childhood always
threatens the densely packed families
Of the tenement houses; hut the subtle
ty OF its contagious epidemic principle
renders it source of danger wherever
there are children IN its reach 1t kill
ed 674 children in New York in the II
months that ended October l. and in
Brooklyn it destroyed 405. Aad this
is but half the havoc it made, for its
Consequences Of sequela in a greater
number that survived, have caused
death or permanent injuries to health.
Experience and the present state of
medical knowledge teach the duty of
strictly separating the sick Of this dis
case, so that no susceptible children
shall be exposed to contagious emana-
tions, and in populous towns and cities
this kind of prccaution should be ex-
tended to the proper sanitary care of
all clothing that has beeh exposed in
sick rooms. The mysteries of epidem-
les Will doubtless continue until the
art of complete sanitary care becomes
universal in its application.
The duty we owe our fellow creatures
concerning this matter of preventive
measures against scarlatina, in all the
domestic pestilence that can be spread
