Their Only Medicine Chest.

DEERLODGE, MONTANA, Dec 10, 1855.
I have been using BRANDRETH's PILLS
for the last thirteen years, and though I
have had nine children, I have never had
doctor in the house, except three times,
when we had an epidemic Of scarlet fever,
which we soon banished by vigorous use
of BRANDRErH's PILLS. I have used them
for myself, two or three night for a
month, for liver complaint, dyspepsia and
constipation. In diarrhcea, cramps, wind
collie, indigestion, one or two BRANDRETH's
PILLS fixed the children at once. A box Of
Pills is all the medicine chest we require
in the house Weuse them for rheumatism,
colds, catarrh, biliousness and impure
blood. They never have failed to cure all the
above complaints in very few days.

GLORlFY THE ROOM.

Wide open throw the shutters, and
The curtain throw aside,
Let in the suns bright messengers
In all their golden pride
What matters IL from costly rug
They take the rainbow bloom?
They'll shower gems on it instead,
And glorify the room.
Glad are the tidings that they bring
From wood, and field, and hill,
From singing bird and humming bee,
And the little dancing rill
Before them many shadows fly,
They Danish thoughts of gloom;
Then, with welcome, let them in
TO glorify the room.
With them comes health-upon the weak
They many blessings shed,
Their kisses strengthen tired eyes,
And touch pale cheeks with red:
No place too dear for them to seek
lts darkness to illumine;
Thank God that we can let them In
TO glorify the room.
