effects not poison? 1t is certainly a
poison. Then, if so, let the people, who
are, or ought to be, sovereigns here, order
the druggist to take it aud put it on the
shelf along with his arsenic and tartar
emetic, and print poison and the picture
of deaths head on it as he does on other
poisons. We know it is contended that
the druggist cannot get along without it.
It is, indeed, the chemical base on which
some of our beat medical compounds are
united. We do not propose to restrain
the druggist from having it; but to say
that the world cannot get along without
it is asserting great deal.
According to Moses, this world has
been running now nearly six thousand
years, and according to what is stated
about the discovery of distillation, this
world did run for over FIVE thousand
years without it. We strongly suspect it
could run without it again. But we are
not proposing that mankind undertake
to do without it-only TO put an effective
check-rein upon the monster and make
it behave itself. Though in this article
we write over our own name openly, and
propose to be held responsible for every
syllable in it, we do not write as minis.
ter of the gospel, simply as citizen.
This is rather a civil than a political
matter. Let the people vote on it and
separate it from personal favoritism but
when the people have said, let all classes
obey. Our experiences with what little
of legislation we have ever had in regard
to restraining the making of spirits have
been in way that was with the forced
consent of the Southern people. They
did not bear out United States Revenue
Officers, because the law was passed to
raise revenue with which to wage war
against US. 1t was repugnant to the peo-
pie just after the surrender on this &C.
count. A State law passed by the people,
or a County law passed by the people, of
State or County, for the regulation of
civil and domestic affairs, of course, if
the people pass it by q free, fair vote,
they are interested to see it carried out.
It is with the consent and with the de.
termination of the element to be govern
ed by it. 1t will be effective law.

AND

r Z T. L. S.
An Effective and Reliable
Remedy for all Liver
Complaints

All people in all countries are subject
more or less to Liver Complaints Over
eating, rich food, lack of exercise, over.
work, and in fact, any violation of the
laws of health causes the Liver to be.
come torpid, and when it does, then
follows an almost innumerable list of
diseases torturing in their nature and
dangerous in the end if not promptly
attended to. The most common are:
Costiveness, BilliOusness, Diz-
ziness, Weakness, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Neryous-
ness, Pains in the Side,
Back and Limbs,
Foul Stomach,
Loss of Appetite, Impure
Blood, Giddiness, Heart
burn, and, worst OF
all, Nervous and
Sick Headache.
All the complaints named above arise
from Torpid Liver, and to be cured of
them the Liver must be aroused and
caused to do its work, otherwise the bile
and poisons it should take from the food
of the body aud supply to the bowels as
their natural purgative, will poison the
blood and aggregate the disease.
Stimulate the Liver to healthy, vigor-
Gus action, and it will secrete all the
impurities of the blood. The blood,
thus deprived of all waste matter and
poisons, pure, rich and life-giving, will
course through the veins, driving disease
from the system and restoring health and
strength. While WILHITE'S LIVER
AND HEADACHE PILLS act direct
ly upon the Liver and Bowels, and make
pure, rich blood, they do not in their
action debilitate the system and leave
one in worse condition than before
taking them, but they contain powerful
tonic for the Stomach, and if taken one
at time occasionally, after having taken
full dose (from two to three) they will
build up the system. They are indeed q
splendid Stomach Pill, and, for this rea-
son, have proven to be an indispensable
Remedy for the painful and distressing
maladies,. HEADACHE and SICK
HEADACHE, which occur so frequently
and extensively. These dreadful evils in
their various forms are the direct result
VI y ulSuIueEeu OIouUCus Saoooo w ~
digestion or an inactive Liver, and can
be relieved and permanently cured by
the use of WILHITE'S LIVER AND
HEADACHE PILLS.
A large proportion of the American
people are subject constantly to these
dreadful diseases and drag out miser-
able existence, trying in vain to get re-
lief from outward applications and seda-
tives, while the source of the trouble is
overlooked. WILHITE'S LIVER
AND HEADACHE PILLS strike at
the root of these diseases, in acting upon
the Liver, thereby removing the cause
and restoring health. Thay are purely
vegetable, contain no deleterious Drugs,
and are reliable remedy in all cases of
Liver diseases and their various compli-
cations.

and could not SEQ that it did any good.
1t did not empty the well, for whenever
ii went down there was just as much
water as ever. And when it came up
full the water was carried away, and it
never knew what became of it. A good
deal of our work in this world seems as
discouraging as that Of the bucket. We
dip away at the sin and misery around
us, and yet cannot see that it is matcri-
ally diminished. We try 70 10 good, bat

efforts. Yet our grumbling is as foolish
as that of the bucket. If it could hare
known how many thirsty ones the water
carried from it refreshed, how man! faces

away, it would have rejoiced in its mis-
sion.
