A won, Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the cure of liver complaint,
and both the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to pro-
duce powerful effect upon the liver, and arouse
the tagging and enfeebled organ. This system OF
treatment is on the same principle Is that OF CIV
ing weak and debitated man large portions OF
brandy to enable him to do certain amount OF
work. When the stimuant is withheld, the or
gan. like the system gradually relapses into a
more torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wantedf Medicines,
which, while they cause the bile to flow freely
from the liver, that organ is toned into action,
will not ovcrwork and thus debilitate it, but Will
when their use is discontinued, leave the liver
strengthened and healthy. Such remedies are
found in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Purgative Pellets.

Christmas.

In commemoration of the eventful day that ush-
cred into the world . Saviour TO bless mankind,
how many hearts are made glad, in the fuhlment OF
the principle of love which he taught. How
many kind words are spoken and how many little
tokens of affection manifested in various ways
which cause the heart to expand with JOY and beam
through the countenance Of each recipient Of the
kindly manifestations. Heart beats with heart In
unison, while love pervades the mind and perme-
ates ali the faculties of the soul. Let US not then
condemn forms or ceremonies, nor think them
useless when they serve in measure to draw to-
gether in affection the brotherhood ofhuman kind.
Christ saw what was needful to the soul for its
redemption from darkness and its consequent
eyils-sin, misery and degradation in the moral
conditon-and pointed to mankind bv his teach
ing a way of escape and one Of elevating all the
faculties within himself to something more noble.
grand or sublime. Each faculty is given for its
own use, and each in turn calls for its own APP
propriate power to perform its proper office. Thus
all are combined to fulfil . scheme in the organ
izaton, resulting in the harmony and happiness
of which the human mind is susceptible in its
earthly sphere. Inview of these truths, as far as
our short-sighted vision extends, what blessed
reason have we to adore the wisdom that frames
and governs all events. The bestowment Of
gifts and the kind wishes when spoken are but
the outer expressions Of the inner feelings of the
heart.
