A DELIGHTFUL SURPRIsE--Lsdiss whose
faces are couded by superficial discolOrs
sions, and who have resolved to try HAGAE's
MAGNOLIA BALM as q remedy, have no idea
of the welcome surprise they will receive
from their mirrors after - few applications
of that heAlthful purifier of the complexion.
IF at all excisable, they will scream with
rapture on beholding the change. Whether
the bemish it is desired to remove be
salloWnesS, blotchss, pimpss, freckles,
roughness, or any unnatural pAllor, it is
bound to disappear under the tonic opera
siou of this wonderful agent. To say that
the blemish disappears, does not, however,
convey any idea of the effect produced by
this cslsbrSled besuti6er. The nnsightly
tnge, whether diffused over the whole
countenance or in spots, or patches, is re-
placed by q uniform, pesrly bloom, TO which
90 description can do justice.

Men naturally love to exercise the right

to wrest from them the much coveted boon
is spurned as the poisonous viper; and, in
case they are deprived Of it, they feel that

which the people could be their own rulers.
