southern Sentiments.

1t is not often that the Southern pee
pie will speak ppTeCiatingly of North
eTn enterprise. They treat Northern
people courteously, even cordially, II
called upon at their homes, but they
do not like Northern political prln-
ciples, and take very little interest In
Northern inventions and discoveries.
A notable exception 10 this general
rule is the warm and even entGusI-
aside appreciation with which the
Southern people speak of DR.. Pierce's
Family Remedies-a pretty sure lndi-
cation that they possess unusual and
undeniable remedial powers. In
warm climates the human system is
peculiarly susceptible TO accumuia-
tiOns Of morbid matters. The heat
tending to diminish the action of the
heart, a corresponding dimiDuiiOn of
the activity of every member results,
and unless occasionally aided by an
efficient Alternative and cathartic, the
system becomes clogged with morbid
matter which il has not sufficient en-
ergy to eXpel. The sale of Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleas
ant PuTgative Pellets, for the year
1877, exceeded one million bottles in
