Blood Purifier.

RICHMOND, VA, October I, 1856.
To zOho,u it may concern:
For twelve months 1 was fearful suf
ferer from chronic eczema, during
which time was in the hands of a most
skilful physician, faithfully using his
remedies, internal and external, with
out deriving any benefit whatever. I
suffered night and day with the most in
tolerable itching, continuous headache,
loss of sleep, appetite and strength.
My kidneys and nervous system were
fearfully deranged, and my body was
covered with innumerab1e boils. By
taking three 81 bottles ofJOHNSTON'S
VEGETABLE NOLANDINE I have
been restored to perfect health. re-
gard Nolandine as the best blood puri-
fer, and the most powerful tonic ever
compounded, and I am not alone in
this belief. Very respectfully yours, &C.,
H. B. GRUBBS.

Constructive Diarrhoea

I feel it my duty to make the fact
known, for the benefit of those who
may be suffering as I have done. The
late DR.. Charles Bell Gibson, and other
physicians in the city, pronounced my
disease consurn ptive diarrhoea, and after
three (5) years of treatment, during
which time ] derived no benefit what.

durable. I was reduced to mere
sllad ow by loss of appetite, cough diar-

I had not strength to go up and down

It's Good Enough.

"There! l guess that will do" said
John, as he took shovelful of ashes out
OF the stove. "The pan isn't empty, but
it's near enough; nobody will see it. If
can get the store swept in about five
minutes, l can finish my story before any
one comes"
The floor was swept very much as the
stove had been cleaned. The open spaces
presented good appearance, but out of
the way corners and underneath boxes
and barrels told different story. How
ever John said it was good enough. The
story was finished, and the paper hidden
out Of sight before the clerks arrived.
Then Mr.. Willis, the proprietor, came in,
babe them all good morning." glanced
around the store, and went into his pri-
waite office. Presently he called John.
Take these letters to the office as
soon as you can. They will be Just in
time for the nine o'clock mail. Come
right back"
John hurried to the Office, as he had
been hidden, but, having deposited the
letters safely, saw no more reason for
haste. Indeed, he even INDUCED in a.
game of marbles before returning to his
work. When he entered the store again.
Mr. Willis made no comment on his tard-
mess, but remarked
''Well, John, have almost learned nv
lesson"
John stared.
"What lesson, sir?"
"Why, the one you've been teaching
me latelv."
John was more puzzled than ever, and
all the day long he wondered what lesson
he could possibly teach Mr.. Willis.
The next morning Johns work was
done as speedily, and no better, than
the day before
MIR. Willis came before the clerks and
sent John out on an errand. While no
was gone, the gentleman, with a quiet
smile, began to investigate the corners
that John thought nobody would see.
When he returned Mr.. Willis said:-
John, told you yesterday that 7 had
almost learned my lesson. To-day know
1t thoroughly. Would you like to HEARTH"
YES, sir"
You have been teaching me how well
could get along without you thought
the stove needed cleaning and the store
sweeping every morning, but it seems
they don't. So shall not need YOU long
er than this week"
