THE trial of the Jews accused Of
Wandering Christian child and of mix
ing her blood with II ,ir Passover bread,
which began about n fortnight ago in
lcity Of Hungary, is almost precisely
similar in details to that of ninety-two
Jews who were tried in Westminster, A.
d. 1850, charged with the murder of
Hugh Of Lincoln, boy of 8. Hugh's
body. being found in the well of Hebrew
usureS, it was declared that he had been
crnoifed by the principal Jews of Eng
land land his blood mixed with their
bread; whereupon the boy was elevated
into a saint, whose bones had healing
qualities Eighteen of the Jews, who
were mad enough to demand that they
should not be Judged by Christians alone,
were sentenced by Henry LII to be drawn
in his presence, which was done, we are
told" in the morning, and after the King
had his dinner they were quartered."
The property of the ninety-two Jews was
saized by the rapacious Queen Eleanor,
w,asic:a conclusion explains the whole story
f.orn the beginning. The famous burning
of Jews in Brussels, in 1870, grew out of
si,aiIar charge, only there it was the
sacred waters that were profanely stabbed
apd Immediately became alive, spouting
blood with groans and cries. In short,
whenever the money or land of the Jews
was wanted by the King or the Church
III any European country this story of the
murdered child and Passover bread has
crelped up. If the reports are true Of
the present trial in Nyreghhaza it will
prove quite as effective in wringing
money out of the Jews as it has ever

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
CT the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
Il out is to purify and enrich the
flood.
These simple facts are we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRoWN's IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
sny part of the system, and it will
. not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
: lively not injurious.

IRON BIrTERs as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
l was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care OF
eminent physicians, l was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle of BRowN's
IRON BITTRRs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
Quired :" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BITTRRs, responded that is
good tonic, take it."
