A Positive Remedy for all
kinds of Humors,

Affections of the Skin, lnfiammatorl

Complaints, Neuralgia, and Nervous AZ
fections, Headache, Languor, and Depres-
sion of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Consti-
patton.
THIS excellent medicinal compound was first
Il prepared by DIR. j. w. POLAND, in 1s47,
and was then employed with great success in
expeiling humors from the blood; but in 1913 a
medical friend who quite celebrated physi-
clan, especially in the treatment of humors, sug-
gcsted some important improvements, which were
adopted, and which has made it ESQ the people say)
the very best remedy for all kinds of humors known
to the faculty"
This preparation is composed entirely of vegeta-
blcs, among which are Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock,
Noble Pine, Mandrake, and Bloodroot.
When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at
GofTstown Centre for the space of thirty or forty
miles around and in Manchester particularly, the
IIumor Doctor was well known and highly valued
for the numerous and wonderful cures which it eff
fected. Though manufactured IN large qu"n'i1i0''
the supply was frequently exhausted, and purchas-
ers had to wait for more to be made. In that re-
gion, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were
treated with, and they were curedl Erysipelas
sores or carbuncles, those ugly, painful ulcers,
were entirely removed wherever this medicine
was faithfully used. So it was with Scrofula and
Salt Rheum The Humor Doctor cured them.

A Protestant Congress is to meet at
Worms, in Germany, on the 3lst of May,
to take into consideration the recent invita-
ton of the Pope to the Protestant churches
to send represt natives to the E;umenical
Council, and to frame reply to the same.
Worms has historic connection with the
great religious revolution of the sixteenth
century. 1t was here that on the 18th aud
18th of April, 1921, Luther confronted the
combined forces of the Church and the world.
At Worms the reformation properly began.
Since the Council of Trent, which was
complete failure, no attempt has been
made to have the divided Church repre-
sented in one Congress until now. We
have no expectation that the Protestants of
Germany will agree to accept the Pope in
vitation; but their reply will be document
of some historic interest.

TRIPLE ALLIANCE.-A report was cur
rent, last week, that an alliance, offensive
and defensive, was about to be consummate
between England, France and Spain. This,
it is believed, will not take place, for the
reason that the feeling on the part of Eng
land and France is quite the reverse of that
which must preccde such an arrangement.
Napoleon is known to regard the Montpen-
sier movement as little less than a menace,
and the general liberalization of the Coy
ernment of Spain as boding no good to his
dynasty and England is known to have ad-
dressed sharp words to the Spanish Govern
ment for the conduct of its officials in sun
