number made speech in behalf of Mr.. Stone
and the new faith they bad espoused from
him. AT this point tho leader called them to
order and asked Mr.. Stone if he accepted the
Bible as the inspired word of God. He did not
answer directly, but said he did in certain
sense. This question was forced upon the
leader by the nature of the interrupters of the
meeting, as Mr.. Stone had previously informed
these brethren that he did not accept the Bible
as accepted by Christians generally, but as ac-
cepted by the New Jerusalem Church. This
was not the first interruption. Mr.. Haskell,
an associate land co-adjutor of MIR. Stone in
propagating this new system, and others, had
several times interrupted the meeting.
This band quarreled with nobody. They op-
posed no one. They simply held up the doc
trines held in common by all orthodox, evan
gelcal churches in the land. They did good
work Notwithstanding the opposition they met,
and won the esteem of all Christian workers in
the community SO far as we are able to judge.
1t is true they would have remained longer II
their efforts had not been INSTRUCTED in the
manner here stated X. ATKINSON.

DIR. ScHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, ScHENCK's SEA
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and ftaken before the lungs are destroyed, speedy
cure is effected.
10 these three medicines DR.. j. III. Schenck.
Fhiladelphla, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws off by an easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe siobt
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and tbe
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this, Sehenck,s
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic nnst
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Sclencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu,or.
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is comnosed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng IT assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to a beatbv
condition, so that the food and the Pulmopic svrun
will make good blood; then the lungs heal. and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken IN n,o
vent fresh cold. " p''-
