n he Circulation of the Blood is Justly

Hhe Circulation Of the Blood is justly
esteemed the greatest ordination of Divine
Providence; by that beating engine, the heart,
it is driven to all parts of the system, giving
vigor and strength to the complicated ma
chinery of man. This living food, whether We
sleep or wake, sallies briskly through the arte.
ries and returns softly through the veins. How
necessary that it should be kept free from all
impurity, and yet how negligent many are re-
specting this great essential to the enjoyment
of perfect health. Derangement in the Liver
and Nerves is generally the primary cause.

life a burden, result from it. Suicide would

congratulate herself that for an hour and a half

Sales Of stoels 70 DC 1,,auanratea.

Owing to the accumulation of stock
on the breeding farms of Com. Kittsop,
Chas. a. DsGraff and Geo. W. Sherwood,
these gentlemen have concluded to hold
annual sales at Midway park. Tho fret
one to take place on Thursday, the 9Th Of
June, 1884. At this first sale about seven
ty-five head of as finely and fashionably
bred horse stock as can be found in any
country will be sold without reserve to the
highest bidder. This, we think, is move
in the right direction. Heretofore pur-
chassrs have been compelled to visit New
York, Kentucky, Tennessee and other re-
mote states to get highly bred horses. But
now they will find at these sales as purely
and fashionably bred horses as can be
found anywhere in the United States, and
much better fitted for the northwest than
stock raised in warmsr states, from the
fact they are already scclimated. The
high standing and reputation Of the gen.
tlemen connected with this enterprise will
be satisfactory guarantee to the public
that every animal sold will be as repre-
scented.
Catalogues will be issued in duo time,
giving the description, pedigree and III
formal statement OF each and every ami
nal on sale.
