From J. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN

turned grey, but after using London

cured and the grey hair restored to It's
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By

As the scholar sees in the vain but
beautiful mythologies of the aneients the
embodied expressions of the hungry
human soul, blindly cropping after the
Infinite. so the physician sees in that
popular myth of the sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health and youth
an expression of the longings of suffering
humanity for a remedy that should forever
prevent the ineursion of disease. The
wilds of Europe were ransacked for this
wonderful fountain. and Ponce de Leon
sought for it in the cypress-swamps and
tangled everglades of our sunny Florida.
| Men have searched for it everywhere and
anywhere 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. the painful
and sorrow producing effects are visible
in may shapes. The multifarious forms
in which it manifests itself would form
subjects uponswhich I might write volumes
But as all the varied irons of disease
which depend upon bad blood are cured or
best treated, by such medicines as take
up elements, it is not of practical import
anee that | should describe each. For
instance, medical authors describe about
nifty varieties Of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very similar
treatment, it 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 it. Then again, / might 60 on and
describe various kinds of scrofulous sores,
fever sores, white swellings, enlarged
glands, and ulcers of varying appearance;
might describehow virulent poison NAV
show ITSELF in various forms of eruptions.
ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors. ETC.; but
as all these various appearing manifesto
lions OF pad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such a course unnecessary,
Thoroughly cleanse, the blood, which is
the great fountain of life, and good diges-
ton, fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength. and soundness of constitution,
will all return to US. For this purpose DR..

Purgative Pellets are permanently the
articles needed. They are warranted to

Egyptian Cotton CroD.

The Egyptian cotton crop for 1875 has
proved practical failure, both in guam y
aud quality. The entire crop will only
amount to about half the amount which
has been exported during the last three
y ears, aud the quality is very inferior
This will enlarge the demand for Amer
lean cotton, and will proporionally in
crease the aggregate returns ofthis years
crop in our cotton growing States. The
failure of the crop in Egypt has been
occasloned by the unprecedented ovet-
flow otthe Nile last September.
Some two million acres, or more than
two fitths ofthe arabic land in Egypt were
inundated and both corn and cotton crops
badly injured. In the present condition Of
Egyptian finauces this cutting off of crops
will be quite a serious disaster.
