TAKE AND LIVE.
What the Doctors say of Laoupia
sCROFULA.

The following letter is from A. X. Ro-
berts, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa:
The Lacupia is most valuable remedy
and the best L have ever used for Scrofula-
and diseases of a aserofulous nature have
lately had under treatment a little girl,
Fannie A., aged five years. For the last
three years she has been suffering from
very sore eyes; was scarcely able to see
anything, the light causing great pain,
the lids were often glued shut with mat
ter. She had quite a number of hard
Jumps on the sides of the neck, the glands
being swollen, some of which were open
and discharging pus. The child was very
weak and, pale, lost all appetite, and was
rapidly sinking. 1 prescribed your La
cupia, did not allow her to eat greasy
food. In a short time the sores in the
neck stopped discharging and were soon
healed The eyes sOOn got well, and she
was enabled to bear the light and see per-
fectly. told her parents to use the La
cupia even after the eyes and the sores
3 had got well, so as to purify. the blood,
but being poor, they stopped the Lacupia
too soon, and being exposed to all kinds
of privatiOns, the disease showed symp-
toms of returning. Her father then got
a bottle of Sarsaparilla and Iron, but it
did no good. [ was called again to see
her, and at my own expense bought her
three bottles of Lacupia, and now she is
entirely well.

But saw another sight
A man had box about two feet long by
sixteen inches wide, and five inches deep.
The cover was glass. Through the glass,
on the bottom of the box, were lying
greenbaeks of different denominations
and gold t?) loekets, etc., all numbered.
A dice box on the glass cover invited
'tspeculators'' always speeulators) "gen-
tlemen" and "speculators" were invited
to shake the box and throw the dice;
when, if they threw lucky number,
they took for twenty-five cents two dol
lar greenback, a gold locket, diamond
ring, or watch, as the case might be.
The principle in this Speculation" was
a little different from the terrible certain
tv of the wheel-there is little more risk
both ways-but the box knows very well
that the lucky numbers inside are very
difficult to throw. The box is good friend
to its owner, and laughs in derision at the
weak credulity of the men who shake the
box and throw the dice. (The dice are
probably loaded.) saw a man win a dol
lar greenback. 1t was the first time he
ever threw dice; his eyes stood out like
saucers, so great was his success; he
thought he had caught the knack first
time; he threw again and lost; again and
lost; again and again. Some way or 9TH
er he had lost the knack. When he
: walked away with rueful countenance,
|, the box had won about two dollars and a
half for its owner.
Oh, gentlemen, its all easy enough; all
you lack is nerve-to lose everything you

Diseases of the Scalp, or Pityriasis.
Letter from E. T. Murray, Esq, Trenton

Letter from E. T. Murray, Esq, Trenton,
New Jersey.
1 was over 16 years affected with dis
ease of the. scalp. The doctors called it
Pityriasis. 1t was constant ANNOYANCE
to me, being not only confined to my
head, bnt often spread over other parts of
my body. 1T Commenced by scaly sub
stance, resembling ldandruff, gathering
at the roots of the hair. On removing
this scaly substance the skin appeared as
though it was inflamed, and the spot was
soon covered with new. crop like the
first. Often kind of scab would form
which sometimes extended down over my
forehead. tried great many remedies
for it, and went to New York and con-
suited prominent physician there. He
prescribed for me, and told me the only
remedy that would ever do me any good
would be one that would remove the dis
ease from my blood. Ispoke to him of
your Lacupia, as had seen it advertised
He said should try his remedy, and if it
did not cure l should then try the Lacu-
pia. L used his medicine, but it did no
good, and concluded to buy a bottle of
baeupia. I used it according to the di-
rections, and soon found that the scales
were drying up and the dandruff depos-
its stopped forming, and after the sixth
bottle am happy to say that my head
was clean and well. can with pleasure
recommend your Lacupia as being a val
liable medicine.

ScrOEuIOus Ulcers and Abcesses OF the

Letter from Geo. Ell. Brown, M. D., 80
West Quincy street, Chicago, Ill.
Mr.. K, married man, Al years of age,
printer by trade, had chronic scrofulous
abcesses of the knee joint for six years.
There were four openings around the
joint, which discharged a greenish col
5Ored matter. His face showed plainly
that he was of the scrofulOus diathesis.
He had been under the treatment of sew
eral prominent physicians of this city,
but with no good results. 1 tried almost
every Alternative in the materia medica
without effect. Twas advised by med
ical friend to try your Lacupia, and ac-
cordingly had him buy six bottles. Be
fore the fifth bottle was all used the sores
were all healed, and he was soon able to
go to work at his old employment, awell
man. / have lately used it in a case of
scrOfulous ulcer in the breast of lady.
She had been suffering with it for thir-
teen years. After six months treatment
J with the .Lacupia the nicer was healed,
and she says she never felt better in her
life. In my estimation, the Lacupia is
the best remedy ever discovered for all
kinds,of serofulous disorders, and l think
the time is not far distant when the pro-
fessiOn generally must recognize it.

rapidly and caused her great alarm
She had been using great many differ

recommended toher by her friends, but
it still continued to grow. She called on
me and gave her the bottle of Lacupia
you sent me. 1 soon noticed that the
swelling was going down and the pain

was surprised to find her wellin so short
a time. Lacupia is certainly great rem

THE BEAUTIFUL IN NATURE.

=
thank God for this good, green Garth,
For every fair and pleasant bower,
That smiles upon the modest birth
OF every dew-bespangled flower.
thank God for these little birds,
That soar aloft on joyous wing;
More eloquent than human words,
And sweeter, are the songs they sing.
I thank Him for the little stream,
That murmurs softly as 1t flows,
And trembles meath the golden beam
That on its crystal surface glows.
thank Him for the gentle breeze,
That comes from Ger the lillied Lea,
And wantous with the nodding trees
Whose gracious branches shelter me
thank Him for tho lovely face
or Nature,-for tho works Of art,
And these, and all, have each place
within my sad, forsaken heart.
= And though Of every hope bereft-
Though lost to oil loved the best,
1 feel that there is something left
When can fy to Natures breast
Ah miuc has been lonely lot
And full of tiorns my path appearsS
The world loved has loved me not,
Though have stained its dust with tears
If have ne er deserved its love-.
Then, with q heart all love and riven,
. i lift these streaming eyes above
And hunibly ask 10 be forgiven.
