The morluary statistics of the whole civilized
world show that about one-fifth of oil mankind
die of consumption alone, and the number of
deaths due to consumption bears greater ratio
TO the whole number than that of any other
three diseases together. Moreover, investigation
proves that this ratio is steadily increasing. lis
increasing prevalence has led to the popular
belief that consumption is incurable. Every
year hundreds of these Seek in the sunny retreats
of Florida or the dry atmosphere of Colorado,
for health-and find only grave. The infu.
ence of the atmospherc-thc only remedial agent
that either Florida or Colorado can afford the
consumptive-is at best only palliative. The
cure of consumption depends upon two essen
tial conditions: LIST, the arrest of the abnormal
breaking down of the tissues, which prevents
emaciation, I'd, the restoration of healthy nutri-
ton, in order to stop the formation of tubercu-
lous matter. Fulfill these conditions, and con-
sumption is as durable as fever. To fulfill these
conditions the required remedy must increase
the appetite, favor the assimilation of food, and
enrich the blood thus retardng the develope-
ment of tubercies To accomplish this, a more
powerful Alternative than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has never been discovered.
At the same time, il soothes the irritation of the
nervous system produced by violent coughing,
which III it's turn 50 often leads 10 more serious
results. The use of"eXpectorants' in consump-
ton is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tuberces already formed, they produce vet
more serious results by intlaming and destroy
ing the sound and healthy tissues. Consume
ton requires remedy that will soothe while it
relieves; harsh medicines but add fuel to the
flame that already threatens to consume the
system. The Golden Medical Discovery fulflls
these conditions, and has been pronounced the
best remedy yet discovered to alay and arrest
consumption.

Improvement Of the COlOrad Folks.
BEL AIR, Nd, Feb. 10Th, 1873.

To tie Editor Of The Egis
SIR: Perhaps it would not be entirely unin-
tercsting to your many readers to let them know
something of the efforts of the coored people
of this vicinity towards improvement in know
ledge and refinement. It's for this purpose that
| venture to ask small space in your valuable
journal The colored race-pOor weak and al
most helpless; nevertheless buoyant, willing
and hopeful, are earnestly embracing many of
the opportunities afforded them of making
themselves and their children good and useful
citizens. The church, Sabbath school, day school
and other important and useful associations are
highly appreciated by the ma jority of the race
The religious interest manifested shows that the
old and absurd superstitons have passed away
and in their stead are the firm and undying
truths of the Holy Scriptures. No longer is
the Golfer of the sorcerer filled b, the hard earn
ings of the poor laborer, but he puts his cause
into other hands, firmly believing that "The
Judge of all the earth will do right" The Sab
bath school, organized at the Nj. E. Church last
October, is In prosperous condition and is en-
couraging to all who are interested in the well
fare of their fellows. But as 1 remarked above,
they are poor. Their church is too small by
half to accommodate comfortably the congrega-
ton, In the Sabbath school there is no library
Too poor TO build n suitable church and cannot
furnish Sunday school library. However, much
the very limited supply of books for the Sabbath
school, We trust some friends of the cause will
lend their aid in procuring the pressing necessi-
ties. The day school is well attended. l cannot
forbear TO speak of the great attention given il
by the Board of School Commissioners, who
have furnished it with patent desks, blackboard
and other conveniences that are very highly ap-
preciated by the teacher, pupils and Patrons
Among the many exercises engaged in by this
community is that Of debating. On last Friday
evening the church was literally packed to hear
debate upon the subject; (Which has the
greater influence over man--woman or money? r

Farewell sermons have been in vogue for the
past few weeks by the pastors ofseveral churches
here: Rev. B. f. Clarkson's term as pastor of the
nj. e. Church, expires, by the three year rule,
on the LIST of March next.
Rev. j. W. Steele, pastor of the NJ. E, Church
South, expects to be appointed TO a new field of
labor, at the approaching annual Conference,
which convenes in Baltimore the 9th of March.
The services of the Southern Methodist
Church, on last Sunday, were of an exceedingly
interesting character. The pastor preached to
a large congregation in the morning, from Heb.
Is, 6-"The Lord is my helper" after which the
sacrament of the Lords Supper was administer
ed, Rev. j. M. Cathcart assisting
AT the evening service the house was full
MIR. Steele preached his farewell sermon, from
Philippians l, ~, "Ouly let your conversation
be as 1t becometh the gospel of Christ; that
whether l come and see you, or else be absent,
may hear of your affairs, that we stand fast in
one spirit, with one mind striving together Tor
the faith of the gospel"
Rev. P. F. Jarrett of the Evangelical Church,
also preached II farewell sermon, last Sunday
morning, though it is possible that lie may be
re-appointed, as he has only been serving his
congregation for two years, and the members OF
tue churcl'deslre his return. MAN.
