NATURAL sElEcrloM.

Investigators of natural science
have demonstrated beyond contrO-
versy, that throughout the animal
kingdom the survival of the tittest'
is the only law that vouchsafes thrift
and perpetuality. Does not the same
principal govern the commercial
prosperity of man! An inferior call
not supercede superior article. H.
Illustrative of this principle are the
family medicines of r. V. Pierce, M.
D., of Buffalo, N. Y. BY reason of
superior merit, they have outrivaled
all other medicines. Their sales in
the United States alone exceeds one
million dollars per annum, while the
amount exported foots up several
thousand more. No business could
grow to such gigantic proportions
and rest upon any other basis than
that of merit. 1t is safe to say that
no medicine or combination of medi-
cines yet discovered equals or can
compare with DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, for the cure of
coughs, colds, and all pulmonary and
blood affections. If the bowels be
constipated and the liver sluggish, his
Pleasant Purgative Pellets will give
prompt relief; while his Fayorite
Prescription will positively, perfectly
and permanently cure those weak
nesses and "dragging-down sensa-
tions" peculiar to females. In the
Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser, an illustrated work of nearly
one thousand pages, the Doctor has
fully discussed the principles that
underlie health and sickness. Price

the best way to regain their health,

The Episcopal Church is being
greatly improved by having q fIax-
tun steam heater put up in it. The
expense of this Improvement will be
about 500, aud this winter, we think,
the members will consider it money
well expended. In addition to this
the church will be generally renoyat-
ed and placed in complete order.
Chas. f. Blake, president of tho
Iowa National Bank, is also having
the same kind of a heater put in his
residence. There are three other res
licences in town now using the same
heater, we believe, viz: Dr.. Warden,
Capt. Eagan, and L. NJ. Cooley, and
they all are we'll pleased with them.

This Sarsaparilla a combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efiicacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
Of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many Of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence IF the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The Prevention Of a Terrible Dis
aSt0r.


No disorders, except the most dead
ly forms of lung disease, involve such
a tremendous destruction of the or
ganic tissue as those which fasten up
on the kidneys. Such maladies, when
they become chronic--and none are
80 liable to assume that phase-com-
pfetely wreck the system. To pre-
vent this terrible disaster, recourse
should be had, upon the first mani
festation of trouble, to Hostetter's
Bitters, which experience has proved
to be highly effective as q means of
imparting tone and regularity to the
organs of urination, as well as to the
liver, stomach and bowels. Another
beneficial result of this medicine,
naturally consequent upon its diuret-
ic action, is the elimination from the
blood of impurities which beget rheu-
matism, govt, dropsy, and other NAL
aides. By increasing the activity OF
kidneys, it augments the depuritive
efiiciency.of those organs, which are
most important outlets for the escape
of such impurities.
