*■* roof. He had
spent all his substance for drink, and was
kept from the poor-house only by performing
menial service for his food, and by the kind
ness of Thomas Edgerton, a member of the
society of Friends, who had known him from
his youth, and had a strong hope that in the
course of time he would see his folly and
turn again into the right path. The leading
merchant of the place had let him have drink
as long as his money lasted, but would trust
him no longer. He was loafing about the
store one bright moon light evening, pleading
with the merchant to trust him for a drink.
His reply was, “Not a drop more, Daniel.”
He remained a while longer and left. As
the cool air of the evening fell upon him, he
all at once began to give utterance to his feel
ings in the following strain :
“Not a drop more, Daniel. Am 1 drunk
or am I sober? I am sober. Not a drop
more, Daniel. Did Haskins think a drop
more would hurt me? No! but my money
is gone. He has got everything I had. He
has got the Bible my mother gave me. He
has got the shoes which my wife bought for
Jennie, and paid for with her own earnings.
Not a drop more, Daniel. Daniel, what say
you to that? 1 say that too. I had once
good clothes and now have nothing but rags.
Not a drop more, Daniel, till I have others
as good as when Mary and 1 were married.
1 once had a good watch, but that, too, is gone.
Not a drop more, Daniel, till I have another
as good as the one I pawned to Haskins for
drink. I have seen the time when 1 had a
good horse and buggy, and could ride into the
village in as good style as any man in the
place. Not a drop more, Daniel, till 1 have
another horse and buggy as good as 1 once
had. 1 once had cows which furnished
my family with butter and cheese, but
Haskins has got them. Not a drop more,
Daniel, till those or other cows as good are
mine again. I once had this wallet full of
bills, but now there is not a cent. Not a
drop more, Daniel, till this wallet is well filled
again.”
By this time he had reached the place where
he had formerly resided, and he stood and
leaned against the fence and mused for a long
time in silence. He viewed the desolateness
of the scene by the light cf the moon, and
his eye ranged over the house and barn once
his own, which had become out of repair.
He then said, “ Once I owned this house
and farm. Here was 1 born. Here my
father and mother died. 1 was the pride 'of
their hearts, but I brought down their gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave. Here I com
menced my married life, and all that heart
could wish was mine. Here Mary and 1 took
comfort till Haskins came here and opened
this rum shop, and now ho calls it his. In
that south room my children were born ; and
there my Jennie died. O, how sorrowful
she looked when she saw me take her shoes
and start for the store and pawn them for
rum, while she lay sick! And then how she
begged me, before she died, never to strike
her mother again. And O, my wife, how
shamefully have 1 abused you! It was not
you, Daniel, that did it. No! it was that
cursed rum that ITaskins sold me. No won
der you were taken from me by those who
loved you and would not see you abused.
They won’t have me in the house. They will
not let me live with you. Not a drop more,
Daniel, till this house is mine again. Not a
drop more till these broad acres are again in
my possession, and the wife and the children
that are living, are in yonder rooms, and we
are a happy family once. more. Not a drop
more, Daniel, so help me God, till all these
things are accomplished. I thank you, Has
kins, for those words. I shall not forget
them.”
He had become so much occupied with his
thoughts, and spoke in a tone so loud, that
he had not heard the wagon, which by this
time, had reached the road, in which was seat-
give thee eight hun
dred fur it, if that is any object to thee.”
Haskins thought long enough to conclude
that the interest of’ eight hundred dollars was
far better for him than the farm, for the use
of which he realized scarcely anything, and
said, “ You can have it.”
“Thee can make out the deed to morrow,
and thee shall have the money. By the way,
does thee know what has become of Daniel
Akin?”’
“No. He has not been in the village for
more than a year. At any rate, 1 have not
seen him.”
We may tell the reader what Haskins did
not know. The Quaker ha I that day received
a letter from Dan. Akin, stating that he was
at the mines hard at work, and was sticking
to his motto, “ Not a drop more, Daniel,”
and that he had laid up a few hundred dollars
and desired him to inquire what the place
which he once owned could be bought for.
Mr. Edgerton had taken the method above
mentioned to find out Haskins’ views. So
confident was he that Daniel Akin would
come home a sober man, with money in his
pocket, that he ventured t<> purchase it, for
the purpose of keeping it for him.
lie wrote to Akin what he had done, and
about three months after received a letter
stating that by express he had sent &500 in
gold to a banker in New York, with orders
to sell it and remit the proceeds to him, to
go towards the farm. Gold commanded a
large premium, and the 500 became more
than 800 before it reached Mr. Edgerlon’s
hands. Akin requested him to draw a deed
giving the whole property to his wife Mary,
and have it duly recorded and left with the
Register of Deeds.
In this letter he said: “If perchance 1
should ever break my resolution, 1 shall have
secured a home for my wife and children; I
prefer, however, they should not know any
thing for the present. If 1 live to come home,
1 will give Mary (he deed with my own hands
—if not, you can do it. Now that the"farm
is bought, you had better stock it, for I still
stick to triy motto, ‘Not another drop, Dan
iel.’”
Another year passed. By this time Fred.
Edgerton had stocked the farm with young
cattle and sheep. The fences were put in re
pair, and everything but the house wore a
tidy appearance.
Another remittance came, which paid for
all the stock; and with an overplus to repair
the house.
Carpenters were busy, and the villagers
who chanced to pass that way found that ex
tensive repairs were going on; still no one
presumed to question the good Quaker with
respect to his plans.
The repairs all completed, furniture found
its way to the house. A yoke of oxen was
seen on the farm. The villagers were aston
ished to see the Quaker driving an elegant
horse, and riding in a fine new buggy.
He received this short note one day :
“1 have arrived all safe and sound. Go
and get Mary and the children.”
He rode over to the adjoining town and
called at Mary’s father’s and invited her and
the children to go homo with him, and make
him and his wife a visit. They accepted the
invitation, and he took them home.
The next afternoon he said, “ Mary, 1 have
got to go to the railroad station, but thee and
the children can stay with Amy.” He went
and got Daniel Akin, and did not reach home
till after dark. lie let Daniel in his own
house, nicely furnished, to which place he had
previously conveyed provisions, and left him
there to pass the night.
The next morning he said, “ Mary, I sup
pose thee has heard that 1 have bought thy
old place. I have got it fitted up, and 1 want
thee and the children to ride over and see it
after breakfast. I think thee will like it.”
They rode over and were surprised to see
the great change which had taken place. They
-could scarcely believe their own eyes. They

hhH-i large part of the pastor's labors
EH|Hriarly thrown away, and this is true
much concerning those who are
members of the church as of unbe
lievers.
The whole church should be a Bible class,
and each family a separate knot of students ;
but, to secure the best results, Concert of ac
tion and organized labor is absolutely essen
tial. I believe that in a thoroughly organized
Christian church every member thereof should
be also a member of one of its Bible classes.
Os these it is possible that a more advanced
class might with advantage, in many cases,
receive tuition from the pastor himself; but,
as a rule, and for various reasons, 1 do not
consider the pastor the best manager of a
Bible class, or his presence therein desirable.
He is too apt to be felt as a controlling and
directing npwer, and therefore a species of
and the class, to be sure of its
best efficiency, should be a school of investi
gation quite as much as of instruction ; and
few ministers, inasmuch as they are very like
other men, are endowed with the necessary
tact to avoid an almost unconscious dictator
ship which is sure death to the real interests
in view. A pastor can readily supervise and
direct a course of Biblical study, and make
his greater learning thoroughly available,
without in any way infringing upon the pro
cess of independent inquiry which is essen
tial to the permanent success of his “ prepar
atory school.” I think I have known instan
ces where well-meaning ministers have fairly
instructed Bible classes out of existence. If
possible, the Bible itself should be the teacher
and leader, and should be made to answer all
questions which may be propounded.— Cor.
Ex. & Chron.
Individual Ministry.
Mr. Will iam Reynolds, of Illinois, said : 1
taught a class once without result*. It
troubled me sorely. I told my troubles to a
minister of Ciirist, who was staying with me.
“You lack faith,” said he. “Have you
ever taken your scholars one by one, and
asked them why they were not Christians ?”
“No, 1 never have.”
“ Well, there is your difficulty. You have
lacked faith in the virtue of such direct labor
with them. Take your class now, and ask
each one of them personally, ‘What keeps
you, my dear , from the Lord Jesus
Christ?’ Let us go apart, and pray for your
scholars.” •*
We went to an upper room, and prayed
that God would give me, as the teacher, each
one of my scholars on the very next day.
The next day was the Sabbath. I resolved
that 1 would honor God by believing his
promises. There was no unusual religious
interest in the school. As 1 longed and prayed
for my class, my faith increased. I pleaded,
“O Lord, for thy name’s sake for Jesus’ sake,
give me all rnv scholars for thee on the mor
row !”
1 went to my class the next day with feel
ings 1 never had before. I taught the lesson.
I applied it.
“Anne, when do you expect to be a Chris
tian ?”
“ 1 don’t know, Mr. Reynolds.”
“ Don’t you feel that you ought to be one
now ?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“Anne, will you not surrender your heart
to Jesus ?”
She burst into tears. I faithfully spoke to
the next, until my five scholars were in tears,
and one of them said to me, “ Won’t you
please meet us in a prayer meeting at our
house, Mr. Reynolds?”
“ With pleasure.”
1 went there. We knelt in prayer, and
every one of them, there upon their knees,
gave themselves away to Jesus ; and they are
earnest Christians to day—three of them in
my Sabbath school, leading others to the
same Saviour. I took another class, and
pursued the same course. All but one were
converted to Christ. —Report of the Third
National ( American ) Sunday School Conven
tion.
Mischikvous Boys. —Rev. J. P. Draper,
Sheffield, England, offers the following sug
gestions to teachers of mischievous boys: 1.
Be at school as early as your scholars. 2.
Keep them employed from the minute they
come into the class. 3. Arrange them in
such order that the troublesome ones shall
have no particular facility for playing, tricks.
4. Have every boy within reach of your eye
and hand. 5. Make offenders beg pardon foi
the offence, of the person injured, if a scholar,
or of the superintendent, if it is against the
discipline of the school. 6. Do not persuade
yourselves, or try to persuade others, that
your scholars are the “ worst boys that ever
lived.”
The Power of Love.- —A little Irish girl
acted so badly in a certain mission school,
that they were abliged to send her away.
When she was going her teacher said to her,
You are a very bad girl. 1 want to love
I ju, but you are so naughty that I cannot.’’
»he went away, but the next day she came
Rgain and begged to be taken in, promising
to do better. When a-ked why she came
|.ack, she said that the teacher’s words, “ 1
nvant to love you,but I cannot,” kept ringing in
ffier head, and she had cried about them all
[night. Then the teacher told her that it was
| >r Christ’s sake that she wished to love her,
Fnd that Christ had long wished to love her
wud to make her pure arid good. She became
[ diligent and dutiful scholar, and soon after-
Lvard she was converted.

Small Farms Best.
A SERIES OF LETTERS FROM A FATHER TO HIS SON —LETTER I.
(For Us.)
Note. —These letters are supposed to be
written by a father in Virginia, to his son in
a Southern State; and are designed to sub
stantiate the belief that, for all the legitimate
purposes of life, small the best, and
incidentally to teach the value of domestic
economy and forethought, and to aid in in
creasing the number and respectability of
small farms.;
My Dear Son :—You retd ember when we
were last together a conversation that took
place among our social party about small
farms, some advocating large and others small
farms, as most desirable ami profitable, eve
rything considered. You also, on your de
parture to a “sunnier clime,” requested me
to enlarge, in a series of letters to you, on
the views I then presented in advocacy of
small farms. I hasten widispleasure, my son,
to comply with your reqijest, knowing, as I
do, that you will carefully consider and treas
ure up whatever hints of lAlue I may be able
to present upon a subject in which we both
take so deep an interest.
First, then, every man has, or should have,
some primary aim in life—some central ob
ject or point to which he desires to attain,
and to which all other plans are made sub
servient and addative. This is the fact in
your case, for you say “that it is your object
to provide amply for yourself and family by
the cultivation of the soil and to be able to
do this so easily and cheaply that a chance
will be afforded yon for reading and study,
and for fostering the amenities and esthetics
of life; and that these may all tend to that
greater object—religion and a home in heav
en.” Noble aim ! Heaven help you to at
tain it.
Being now about to settle f..r life, it be
comes necessary for you to purchase a home.
Let me admonish vou to purchase but little
land—just enough for your wants. It is folly
and ruinous in several respects, to own more
land than you can properly manage. You
will overstretch your energies and go beyond
your means if you attempt to cultivate it all ;
and you mu>t pay the taxes, cultivated or
not, so it will prove a dead expense, ft is
very true it is but a trifle; but you know I
have often warned you to “ keep no holes in
your pocket-book.” Little holes will, after
awhile, gro.v to ba big ones, and then, —you
have heard much from myself and others on
both sides .of this subject, and 1 do not fear
that you will commit the ruinous mistake of
thousands by purchasing’too much land. At
the same time, 1 trust that you will not err
on the other side, and purchase too little.
While you seek not tt> have an miweildy
farm, aim also not tayiuve a hampered up
one. As to the precise number of acres, that
must be determined by the kind of crops you
propose to cultivate, of stock, etc.
1 should suppose that thirty, or at most, fifty
acres, amply sufficient for all your wants, —-
arable fields, pastures and woodland. Never
go beyond fifty ; and l*have no doubt that if
many who are now tailing on more, had but
fifteen or tweiitv, they would, with the same
amount of labor, ph\!;ical and mental, be
much the better off.
Having told you in this the size for your
farm, 1 will, in my next, tell you where to
locate as regards soil, society, conveniences, etc.
I am, my dear son. ever your affectionate
father, B. W. Jones.

Interesting Discoveries—The Biblical Wri
tings.
There seems to be a reasonable expectation
of the discovery of the site of the Garden of
Eden, if we may credit Sir Henry Rawlin
son, the distinguished Assyrian explorer, and
President of the Royal Asiatic Society. At
a meeting of that society, held in London on
the 31st of May, at which he was inaugura
ted, he made a speech in which he expressed
his conviction that the Babylonians writings
and monuments now in possession of the
British Museum would turn out to be inti
mately connected with the earliest Biblical
writings, and that before long the whole of
the early history given in the Book of Gene
sis, from the time of Abraham, downwards,
would be found existing in its original form
among these primitive stone records. He
also announced that in a short time he should
submit to the society evidence that the name
“ G .rden of Eden " was the old and natural
name of Babylon, lie stated that there were
Babylonian docmneirs which gave an exact
geographical description of the Paradise in
which the opening scene of human history is
laid, answering precisely to the topography
and the geodesical particulars of Holy W rit.
In them he has found the four rivers, or
rather, the four bran.mes of “ the river which
went out of Eden to water the garden.”
mentioned by the very same names, Pison,
Gihon, Hiddekel awl Euphrates. He has
also met with accomf sos the flood, and the
building of the tower of Babel, which bear
with singular directress and value upon the
Biblical narratives of those events. If he
should realize all that lie anticipates, he will
have given to the world one of the most in
teresting archteologic il and antiquarian dis
coveries ever made.
“ This is startling news,” says Mr. Chas.
Welfbrd, (in his last letter from London, to
the Book Buyer, of New York,) in giving an
account of the above remarkable announce
ment just made by Sir Henry Ra-rimson.
It is not nn rely, says Mr. Welfnd, that this
eminent Oriental scholar claims to have dis
covered the original records from which the
Book of Genesis was composed, but he illus
trates his position by details of the most
striking kind. He himself -aid :
“ The progress now reached in the collec
tion and arrangemeptiT of the Nineveh in
scribed fragments, made it beyond a doubt
that they would be able to derive the whole
of the history-given, in the Book of Genesis,
from the time of Abraham, from the original
documents: and it was not too much to ex
pect that almost the same facts and descrip
tions would be found in the Babylonian dm
uments, as in the Bible. He hoped very
soon to have ready a paper on the Garden of
Eden, (Paradise,) in which he would show
that was the natural name of Babylon. The
rivers bore the very same name3, aqd the
Babylonian documents gave an exact geo
graphical account of the Garden of Edeu.
The and the Tower of Babel would be
found most-amply illustrated intne
Babylonian documents.”
The Charleston News of the 10th says: The
rice crop is being rapidly harvested and generally
promises well. Planters over much of this State
expect to plant freely of small grain in order to
lessen the injury arising from the partial failure
of the corn crop.
The British Press on Cotton.
The British press continues to be very much
exercised about the supply of cotton. Every day
or two there are leading articles and any amount
of correspondence on the subject, and there is
hardly any conceivable plan for increasing the
production of the raw material that is not dis
cussed. The insufficient supply is termed a ca
lamity, and is said to be owing to an increase of
the consuming power at a time when the raw
material is decreasing. A writer in the London
Times takes a very sensible view of the matter
when he argues that the true way to increase the
production of cotton is for the manufacturers and
capatalists of England to co-operate with the
grower. That is, we suppose, to employ their cap
ital in connection with the labor of the planters
in order to stimulate a larger growth. This writer
remarks too, that it would be folly for the Ameri
can planters to grow five millions of bales at
double the expense of land and labor when the
same profit can be realized from half that amount.
But where are the English manufacturers and
capitalists to use their money in co-operation with
the growers ? India and other countries have
been tried and a vast amount of capital has been
sunk in the experiment. There is, however, one
place in the world where raising cotton is not an un
certain experiment, and where planting never fails
to be successful and profitable. In our Southern
States there is a vast area of cotton lands yet un
cultivated. If thei e were capital and labor enough
ten millions of bales or more could he raised.
This is the country then, for the British to invest
in it if they would get an ample supply of cotton
and a handsome return for their capital.— N. Y.
Herald.
Singular.— The Dalton Citizen says: “We
learn from Dr. R. C. Word, a well-known physi
cian, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., now resident of
this county, that a most singular case has recent
ly occurred in the practice of Dr. Gordon, of La-
Fayette, Ga., in which a live animal certainly ex
isted in the stomach of a negro girl for a period
of several months, causing the most excruciating
agony. Dr. Gordon and other physicians, who
saw the girl, were for a long time unahle to make
out the nature of the case on account of the
strange and unusual symptoms which it exhibited.
The pain was not unlike that of a violent cramp
colic, and continued for about three months, until
the animal was destroyed by medicine. The
bones of the animal have been discharged from
the bowels, and these bones and portions of the
skin have been preserved by Mr. G., whom we
learn will send them to a Naturalist in New York,
with » view to ascertain, if possible, the class to
which it belongs. Enough has been preserved
to show that it was a four-footed creature, not less
than 2* inches in circumfeernce, and having claws
one half-inch in length. We are assured by Dr.
W. that this is no sensation story, but an actual
fact, the details of which will, in due time, he
given to the medical world.
Florida. —The Governor of Florida has recently is
sued a proclamation for an election in the eight West
ernmost counties of Florida, whether they will unite
with Alabama or remain as they are. The election is
ordered for November 2nd, and if “yea,” within sixty
days alter approval by Congress, there will be a trans
fer from Florida to Alabama of all “that portion of
Florida lying West of the thread of the Chattahoochee
and Appalachicola rivers, and West of a line running
due South from the thread of the Apalachicola, bend
ing West so as to pass between the islands of St. George
and St. Vincent.” For this, Alabama will pay, in
ninety days after date, “ one million of dollars, in bonds
bearing interest at the rate of eight per cent, per -An
num. payable at the Treasury of Alabama in thirty
years after the date thereof, the interest to be payable
semi-annually in the city of New York.”

"Qtt. J. BRAD FI ELD’S
FEMALE REGULATOR,
WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND.
This valuable Medicine is prepared for Women ex
clusively, and to be used by Women only. It is
adapted especially to those eases where Ihe womb is
disordered, and will cure any irregularity in the
“menses,” except in such eases as require a surgical
operation. As these last are very rare, the Female
Regulator is o, almost universal application. In a
sudden check of the “monthly courses” from cold,
trouble of mind or like cause, it acts like a charm, by
restoring the discharge in every instance, thus reliev
ing the fever, headache, pain in the small of the back
mid “ lower stomach,’’flushes o( heat about the face,
chilly sensations, burning of the eyelids and general
restlessness. Taken in time, all these symptoms
pass away immediately, without injury to the consti
tution. Frequently, however, the proper remedy is
not applied in time, the disease becomes chronic, and
the foundation laid for numberless evils to ttie consti
tution of the woman. The next “turn” comes
around and there is no -‘show,” or perhaps the
“whites” will appear. There will he some uueasi
ness about the womb, but very little or none of the
natural fluid escaping. The complexion becomes sal
low, bowels swollen, a sort of greenish caste about
the face, constant dull aching pains in the head,
weight in the lower stomach and back, with or with
out whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, exliaus
tion, indigestion, weariness, languor, aching across
the loins, loss of appetite, pain in the left breast,
tightness across the chest, cough and giddiness. Ii
still allowed to go on, “green sickness will be fully
developed—the headache becomes severe, with loss
of memory, diminished sensibility side stomach , dys
pepsia, no relish lor food, loss of flesh, increased flut
tering of the bean, swelling of the feet , logs and body,
and occasional spitting of blood. The slightest effort
causes hurried breathing , almost to suffocation. 'lhe
skin is flabby and has a “doughy feeling ” This is a
sad picture, but it is the condition of thousands ol
women between the ages of 15 and 45, who are
brought to the verge of the grave by ignorance or
neglect to take the proper remedy. To all who are
afflicted with any of the symptoms above-mentioned,
in connection with any irregularity of the “monthly
sickness,” we earnestly say TAKE DR. J. BRAD
FIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR. A few ounces
taken, you will at once experience its benefits, and
with a little patience you will be fully restored to
health.
This remedy has been extensivhly used for upwards
of twenty years by many ot the most experiened and
successful Physicians in Georgia.
We repeat, that Dll. J. BIIADFIELD’S FEMALE
REGULATOR is prepared to*-Women, and to be used
by women only.
A trial is all we ask.

Dr. J. Bradfield —
Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in stating that sometime
previous to the late war, 1 used, with the utmost suc
cess, on a servant girl, your FEMALE REG tJLATOK,
prepared then at Bradtield's Drug Store, West Point,
Ga. She had been suflering severely from suppressed
menstruation, and this Medicine soon restored her to
health. She is, to-day, living in Atlanta, sound and
well.
I will state, further, that I know of its being used,
with equal success, on a servant girl ol my brother
in-law, Professor Rutherford, of Athens, Ga. This
woman had, I think, been diseased for six years.
She was a house servant, and seemed cured, up to
the time of “ freedom.” Ido not hesitate to endorse
your preparation for the purposes tor which yo» re
commend it.
Yours truly, Jno. G. Whither.
STATE OF GEORGIA, Troup County.
This is to certify that I have examined the recipe
of Dr. Joseph Bradtield, of this county, and, as a nied

payments. They give a loan of 50 per cent, on a I*,
premiums amounting to over Fitly Dollars. It is hi

Companies at home. In Fire Insurance the premi -
ums are mostly returned to meet losses ; but in Life-
Insurance they are accumulated to meet the deaths!
at old age, ami only returned after many years.
Tiie money retained here will bring belter interest,
and thus swell the profits of a mutual company, ami
benefit tlie insured in many other ways.
Every Southern man will he sure to assent to this,

Sick Headache, Chronic Diarrhoea, A flections of the
Bladder and Kidneys. Fever, Nervousness, Chills,
Diseases of the skin, Impurity of the Blood, Melan
choly or depression of Spirits.
Most of lhe ailments iiere enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most prevalent
affection in ihis country, and as in many cases the
patient is not within the reach of a physician, it re
quires that some remedy should lie provided than
would not in the least impair the constitution, and yet
be active and safe. That such is the character of the
SIMMONS REGULATOR there can be no doubt,
which lhe testimony of hundreds will establish.
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED
in the side. Sometimes the
I Tiffin |l mm is felt under the shoulder blade ;
111 V (ill ! is sonieli,nes mistaken lor rheutna
lfif VM It ism in the arm. The stomach is al-
iii Wl| h loss of appetite and sick
ness, bowels 111 general are costive, sometimes Hller
nating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, no.
companied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, aocompa ■
nied with a painful sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he con -
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin ; his spirits
are low ; and although sat-istied that exercise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up
fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrust ever',
remedy. Several ol the above symptoms attend the
disease, but eases have occurred wheu few ot them
existed, yet examination of the body after death has
shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
It should he used by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear. It
is a purely vegetable compound, is not injurious to the
most delicate constitutions, and will keep the liver in
healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid al.
billious attacks by taking a dose occasionally to keep
the liver in healthy action.
For children complaining ol colic,
Dnrvnlninv headache, or sick stomach, a Ica
lifiu Mini ! ‘l‘ oon,ul ~r more will give rebel.
lIUgUIUIUI Children, as well as adults, eat some
_J^HHaaHHtaaaiutimes too much supper, or eat some
thing which does not digest well, producing sour
stomach, heart-burn, or restlessness; a good dose
will give relief. This applies to persons ol all age*.
Many persons, from eating too much, are rcsiless
at night, or in day time are fidgety, wool-gathering,
can’t understate what they read, can’t keep their
thoughts on any one subject so ns to reason well, or
become fretful. One or two tablespoonsfitl will give
relief.
Jaundice. —Take enough Regulator alter eating
