WhVWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary prc-diSposition
to many diseases, there arc four prominent
causes of much of human disease, ami
these are: Impure air, which causes poi
sonng of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, which is great
source of Typhoid and kindred frvcr#:
improper food, which is the cause OF
Stomachic and Intestinal arrangement;
and sudden changes of climate and tenn"
pcraturc, which induce congcstivc disor-
dcrs Thus, the absolute essentials Of lie
arc often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the germs OF disease anG
death. Whenever the proportional pro-
ciplcs Of the Blood become disturbed tron,
any ofthc causes named, impovcrlshmrnt
or poisoning of this fluid follows; ii tlr
digestive organs act ahnormally, Dyspcp-
sin and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to cA-
cite the unusual action of the Liver l.;
certain to produce Bilious diseases; ana
Whenever there is o torpiludc or sluggish

host of attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
it becomes comparatively easy to cNpinin

that one misunderstanding habit peculiar

Indigestion or Dyspepsia is established
with all of its distressing consequences:
immediately the Blood lowers lis standard
and begins TO deposit its impurities III the
weakest parts of the system, causing ali
manner of discomfort and diseases accord

point of deposit. The great organs be,

be removed, the whole volume OF the
Blood will become so poisoned that exist

Some Pertinent InqNirieS by q
ssLittle Injin.,s

BOND HILL, o., Sept. 20.
To the Editor of the Star:
at is natural for man to indulge in
the illusion OF hope"
From the many ssqnibs," as given by
reporters from this place Of the flourish
lAg condition OF this Association, we
have induiged hope that every thug was
working TO the best inte rest Of the mem
bers thereof. The Pre- .ident OF the As
s'oeiatiOn said in his annual address to
the members on the Both of December,
1872, Sin no other way can we so surely
gain information of the standing of a
corporation as by an exami nation of
its books" We have not examined the
books, but current reports show "that
there is no longer any room Tor hope"
VIII the managers Of this corporation
give us some Information from the
books, which they are bound to do, ae-
cording to the Constitution, Article 2,
Section 8, and which they have persist
emily refused TO do Tor long time?
Will they please inform us why they
SO stubbornly refuse to make the proper
reports TO the members? Is it, as they
assert, to shun their due share of taxes
or is 1t to keep the members in ignorance
Of the true state OF affairs?
We wish to know from the books from
what sources they received $3S, ,75S last
year, and how they disposed OF the same
plus $1,l56 in the treasnEy, and SO, ,157
worth o. Dulialpg mateEiA Oh hanu at
$3.50 in building fifteen houses, When
the constitution says the houses shall
cost no more Than $4,000 each!
VIII they settle the question from the

as currently reported? II the htter be
true it is no wonder that the Secretary
was so free in thrasting mortgage Of
81, 1000 under one members nose and de-
manded his signature before he had time
10 read it, when a mortgage OF $500 on
was agreed on. Are we all tobe treated
in like manner before our gracious lords
and masters will give us a deed after we
have paid in full?
1.-THE Treasurer owes the Association
$12, 900 why not compel him to shell out
as members are wlthjtheir weekly dues
or be heavily fnedy Ii such is the case,
why did the Directors knowingly per-
nit the money to 60 into his hands and
have mechanics and 9th ers to whom the
Association was indebted, receive
clecks which We're not honored, and
thereby annoy said mechanics and
others from day TO day before they re-
ceiVed their dues? Dad they (the Diree.

that they would not receive the forty1

MY SWEETHEART.


DO you know my sweetheart sirp
She has Aef and gone away.
pKe lost my love; pray tell to me
Have yon seen her pass today
Dewy b1uebells are ller eyes;
Golden corn her waving hair;
Her checks are Of the sweet blush-roses;
Have you seen this maiden fair2
White lilies are her neck, sir:
And her breath the eglantine:
Her rosy lips the red carnations;
Such Is she, this maiden mine.
The light wind fs her laughter;
The Murmuriag brooks her song;
Her tears, so full of tender pity
In the clouds are borne along.
The sunbeams are her smffes;
The leaves her footsteps light;
To kiss each,cOy ,dower into life
Is my true loves delight.
! ! will tell you who she is,
And how all things become her.
Bend down, tifatI may whisper,
