is very important condition of health.
The actual weight which we daily lose
through the pores of the skin, is almost
incredible this loss is continually going on
with more or less activity. The matter
which thus passes away from the system
is poisonous waste substance, which would
prove highly deleterious were it not remov-
ed. During summer, the intense heat pro-
duces perspiration ; and, in the cooler por-
tions of the year, strenuous and protracted
muscular exertion results similarly. How
ever, it is not alwaysconvenient--not TO say
desirable-to get oneself either partially
cooked, or else sentenced to tenn of hard
labour, merely to enjoy the pleasurable
sense of health that supervenes upon cop
ious perspiration But it is one of the mer
its of Dr. Gettieb Fisch's Bitters, that 1T

The General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, which has been IN
session in Baltimore since May 10th, adjourn
cd last night to meet 10 St. Louis next year.
No business of Importance was transacted our
ing the closing hours of the session, except that
n PROPOSAL in the direction of an itincrant min
i,try was defeated by being laid on the table.
1t seemed to be the object to establish more
cordial relations with, ifnot reunite, the sepa-
rated branches Of the Presbyterian Church,
and to this end committees on conference were
appointed. The Assembly decided that 1t was
expedent for the Church, as an organization
TO be represented at Philadelphia In 1876, on
the occasion of the celebration of the American
Independence During the session members
of the body Individually ADD for their churches
pledged seventy five thousand dollars towards
lluuidatng debt of one hundred aud thirty
