DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-The Blood is the Life When this
source is corrupted, the painful and sor-
row producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms IN which
it manifests itself, would form subjects
upon which might write volumes. But
as all the varied forms OF disease which
depend upon bad blood are cured, or best
treated. BY such medicines as take up from
this fluid and excrete from the system the
noxious elements, it is not OF practical lm-
nortanee that | should describe each. For
instance. medical authors describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very similar treat
ment it is of no practical utility to know
just what name to apply to certain form
of skin disease, so you know how best to
cure it. Then again / might go on and
describe various kinds OF scrofulous
sores, white swellings, enlarged glands,
and ulcers of varying appearance might
describe how virulent poison may show it
self in various forms of erupti0ns, ulcers,
sore throat. bony tumors, etc. but as all
these various appearing manifestations of
bad blood are cured by uniform means
/ deem such course unnecessary Thor
ougnly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion, a
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength,
and soundness of constitution, will all re-
turn to us. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's

Obituary.


Ex-Policeman James Snyder died to. day
1.-THE 24th) between II and II clock, at
the public house Of Mr.. Schiable, on Front
street. He was taken sick on Saturday
and did not leave his room afterwards, his
death being caused by congestion OF the
lungs. He was attended by DIR. Trues-
dale. His wife died last fall, leaving three
small children. Mr.. Snyder was native
of Philadelphia, and had resided here
about IL years. He was probably about
AZ years of age. He was one Of the best
policemen we ever had, and trusty, true
and honest man.
The time for the funeral has not yet
been definitely fixed, but it will probably
be tomorrow afternoon.

A Good Stnrv-
"a.

London Correspondence of the New York Herald
Here is a good story which has not yet
found its way into print, but for the truth
of which can vouch Lord George Cor
don, a young man of four ud-twenty, wish
ing to marry certain young lady, went
quite recently to ask the permission of his
father, the Duke of Argyle. The Duke, a
pompous little man, replied in effect, my
son, since our house has been honored by
being united with the Royal family, have
thought it right to delegate decision on
all matters to your elder brother, the Mar
quis of Lorne. Go, therefore, and con-
suit him" The Marquis of Lorne, on be-
ing applied to said My dear brother, in
a case of Importance like this [ should
think it right to ask the decision of the
Queen, the head OF the Royal family, into
which have married" The Queen, on
the matter being being laid before her, de-
she had been in the habit of taking no
steps without consulting the Duke of SAKE
COburg, the brother of her deceased hus-
band. To the Duke, then, was the mat
ter referred, and from him letter was re-
ceived telling his dear sister-in-law that
recent political events had induced him to
do nothing, even as to the giving advice,
without the express concurrence of the
Emperor William before whom he had
laid the matter The Emperor
William wrote long letter, de-
claring that though he was surrounded by
counsellors, there was only one who had
on all occasions proved himself correct,
loyal and faithful, and without whose ad-
vice he the Emperor would give no deci-
sion. Therefore he had referred the mat
ter to his faithful Minister, Prince Bis
marck
And it is narrated that when Prince
Bismarck was made acquainted with the
subject, he roared out, Colt in Himmel,

has conferred priceless boon upon man
kind, by the introduction of ''Bitters'
compounded from herds exclusively, which
may be truly said to be superseding all 9TH
ers, and is becoming bitter dose indeed
for the charlatans and quacks, on account
of its immense sale and universal popular
ity, Not only are these VINEGAR BITTERs,
as he calls them, an invaluable tonic and
Alternative, but they are acknowledged as
standard MEDICINE, and the astounding
rapidity with which they cure diseases
heretofore declared incurable, seems al
most incredible. After having been care
fully tested, they are kept on hand in thou
sands of households, and used for any and
every form of disease, many relying on
them in preference to the most cele rated
physicians. They have become a recog
nized Family Remedy" and properly so.
