MYTHS are but Symbols Of Truth.

AS the scholar sees in the vain but
beautiful mythoIOgies Of the nncients
the embodied expressions of the hungry
human soul, blindly cropping after the
Infinite, so the physician secs III that
popular myth of the sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health and
youth-an expression Of the longing of
suffering humanity for remedy that
should forever prevent the incursiOns
of disease. The wilds of Europe were
ransacked for this wonderful fountain,
and Ponce de Leon sought for ii in the
cypress-swamps and tangled ever.
glades of our sunny Florida. Men have
searched for il everywhere and any
where but where it really is-in the
human body itself. The blood Is the
real fountain Of perpetual health and
youth. When this source Is corrupted I,
the painful and sorrow-producing eff
fccts are visible in many shapes. The
multitariOus forms in which IL manifcsts
itself would form subjects upon which
/ might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend
upon bad blood are cured or best
treated, by such medicines as take up
from this fluid and excrete from the
system the noxiOus elements, IL Is not
of practical importance that l should
describe each. For instance, medical
authors describe about fifty varieties OF
skin disease, but as they oil require for
their cure very similar treatment, 1t is
of no practical utility to know just
what name to apply to certain form
of skin disease, so you know how best
to cure 1t. Then again, | might go on
and describe various kinds ofscrofulous $
sores, fever sores, white swellings, en-
larged glands, and ulcers Of varying
appearance; might describe how vir-
ulent poison may show itsclfin various
forms of eruptlons, ulcers, sore throat,
bony tumors, etc.; but as all these vari-
ous-appearing manifestations Of bad
blood are cured bya uniform means,
/ deem such course unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which
Is the great fountain of life, and good
digestion, u fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital strength, aud soundness of cOnsti-
tuition, will all return to us. For this
purpose DIR. Piercc's Golden Medical
Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
pre-eminently the articles needed.

A Cool Mother.

A few days ago q lady I'm the Sixth
Ward was making molasses candy Tor
her children. While removing the
melted liquid from the stove, her little
boy In his haste to obtain his portion,
stumbled against his mothers elbow,
,lpsctting the dish over her hand, burn
ing her hand i'm frightful manner.
She immediately wrapped her hand up
i'm cotton handkerchief and saturated
ii with bottle Of Wolcott's Pain Paint,
keeping ii constantly wet with the
remedy. The result was more than
wonderful; 1t not only stopped all pain
i'm very short time, but her hand did
not even Ulster, and the next day was
apparently as well as ever, with the ex-
ception of two small places where the
skin was actually burned OIL at the
time of the accident. She says that
with this remedy, she never fails In
removing Headache, TOothache and
Neuralgia within few minutes by all
outward application; besides curing
Rheumatism, healing Ulcers and sores
of long standing, without causing any
pain in its direct application; on the
contrary, producing o very cooling
and soothing effect to all infiamcd sur
faces.
This remedy-"Wolcott's PainPaint"
has been before the public for many
wears, and IL well known for its re-
markable powers as healing agent.
For the benefit Of our readers we would
say that this Medicine Is manufactured
