UNIVERSALLY
RECOMMENDED,

We have just received October. 1879 communica.
tion from nearly every druggist in New England,
and the testimony is universally in favor of SAM
ToRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. We believe
there never was remedy so popular wherever
known, and certainly we feel that never was one
more deserving Of praise. Founded upon correct
scientific principles and calculated by the most ac
complshed physicians to meet the severest forms of
Catarrb, the made by it have not only been nu
merous, but SO remarkable to excite public atten-
ton and cause the sale to exceed tenod that of any
similar remedy ever before compounded
While many are anxious to make public their tes-
timony in favor of the RADICAL CURE, others-and
among this number may be found many of our most
respected citizensdsike to become publicly ident-
fed with so loathsome disease. Hence, in the fol-
lowing case unable to give the name, but are
permitted to the severity and condition OF the
case before and after using the RADICAL CURE. and
also that the gentleman occupies responsible Office
in one of our State institutions. We quote:-
81 woald not for the world permit nv name to be
used, although have no doubt it would be of bene-
fit to many now suffering as have suffered: but
give you brief statement of my cases.

pOtassa and bromide of ANN onia every

RADICAL CURE Il have taken mo potas-

night without uueasiness or distress; not a

throat during sleep, and every sy mpt0m Of

wonderful result truly, all will say. who know or
realize the extent and severity of this case The
gentleman has had eighteen bottles. This must sat
sfy the sceptca and there is great merit in the RAD
ICAL CURE. Its mode OF preparation is new and Or

Spring.
BY IRA BERRY.

Harkl tits the bluebrds sprghty note; how blithe-
ly does he sing.
Sweet bird the earliest voice is thine to hail return
ing Spring:
And true to thy prophetic song in all her charms
Warm from the glowing southern climes where long
too long-she stayed,
She comes, Ger our less sunny realm TO re-assume
her reign:
Delight and Beauty, hand in hand, trip smiling in
above,
And all the universe seems filled with sympathy and
love.
The mighty Seas majestic waves in anger roll no
But gently bow their crested heads to kiss the peb-
bled shore;
The Lakes that long the Sun in vain
had wo0ed,
Dissolve in tenderness at length by generous warmth
The Rivers, that with icy arms embraced tn i'm
Relax their rigid features now, and dimple into
smiles;
Or through the meadows playful run, and murmur
forth their joy.
The snow that held the land in thrall, in floods of
grief expires;
And, wotchiDg his departing steps, tits beautiful to
The timid buds peep gaiy out from every shrub and
tree.
The glorious sun looks down. benign upon the FROST
chilled earth.
As he would warm and smile a new creation into
birth;
AMI quick. beneath his genial ray, the freshening
verdure starts,
As Kindness wins affection forth from pure and trust
ing hearts.
The Cowslip and the Violet their modest leaves
fold,-
The Dandelon strews the glebe with specks of living
gold;
The spirit of the parted year is rising from its tomb
And bursting forth in countless forms of loveliness
and bloom.
Oh who can look around feel each impulse of his
soul
Ascend in gratitude to Him who bids the seasons
roll
Whose power with beauty decks the field, with verdi
ure clothes the sod?
Sure, he who studies Natures book, must worship
Natures God.
