Thousands of men die every day who
could be saved. Prejudice is mainly to
blame for this loss of life. If it were be-
lieved that the sum of disease may certain
ly be reduced by physic, much would be
gained. And yet the proposition is very
simple :: If you take out daily more impuri-
ties than is daily generated, you will soon be
rid of impurities. The effect of this wise
practice is soon seen in Bilious, Liver and
Kidney troubles But it is equally of value
in head and brain affections; in Pleurisy,
Pneumonia, Appoplexy, and Paralysis.
In chronic and acute Rheumatism, and in
ell affections of the bowels, this principal
soon relieves and cures, when the medicine
used is Brandreth's Pills.
Yes. when all other means and medicine
have failed to relieve from pain, these pills
have cured, by taking impurities from the
bowels and blood, and thousands of men and
women now place Brandfeth's Pills among
the blessings Of mankind. janSteod&wlw

long, and the people of that community con-
template making thorough repairs on their
church, which has been falling into decay for
many years, next season, after which they
will have regular preaching This revival

Three Wise Women.

Three wise women were they,
" no went a shopping one winier's2day,
One went East and one went West,
But one went farther up the street than the rest.
She looked in the windows she passed them by,
But just hat she wanted did not catch her eye
She continued TO look as she walked along,
For she wanted something useful, lice and warm
At last she arrived at the well known store,
OF Huntington, the Cother and stepped in the door
She wanted present for her only son,
And she bought him an overcoat, q beautiful one.
She saw many things that pleased her eye.
But she left them at Huningtons for others to buy
