The Uncorrupted Preservation of the Scriptures. That the Sacred Writings are not only genuine, but have been transmitted to us entire and uncorrupted, and that they are, in all essential points, the same as they came originally from the hands of their authors, we have the most satisfac tory evidence that can be required. With regard to the Old Testament, the original manuscripts were long pre i«erved among the Jews, who were always remarkable for being most faithful guar dians of their sacred books, which they ’transcribed repeatedly and compared carefully with the originals of 4whicb they even number the words and fetters. That the Jews have neither mu tilated nor corrupted these writings is tfully proved by the silence of the proph ets, as well as of Christ and his Apostles, ;Jftvho, though they bring many heavy Charges against them, never once accuse them of corrupting one of their sacred Vritings; and also by the agreement, in every essential point, of all the versions •n<l manuscripts, amounting to nearly 1150, which are now extant, and which furnishes a clear proof of their uncorrup ted preservation. In fact, the constant •ending of the sacred books (which were at once the rule of their faith and of their political constitution) in public and private; the numerous copies of the orig inal, as well as of the Septuagint version, which was widely spread over the world ; the various sects and parties into which ! the Jews were divided after the Cannon was closed, as well as their dispersion into every part of the globe, concurred to render any attempt at fabrication im probable and impossible before the time of Christ; and after that period the same hooks being in the hands of the Christians, they would instantly have detected the fraud of the Jews, if they had endeavored to accomplish such a design, while the silence of the Jews, who would it'd have failed to notice the at- j tempt if it had been made, is a clear proof that they were not corrupted by the Christians. Equally satisfactory is the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament The 'multiplication of copies, both of the original and of translations, into a variety of foreign languages, which were read, not only in private hut publicly in the religious a-seml.lies of the early Chris tians; tlie reverence of the Christians for these writings; the variety of sects and heretics which soon arose in the Christian Church, each of whom appealed to the Scriptures for the truth of their doctrines rendered any material altera tions in tlie sacred books utterly impossi ble; while the silence of their aelitest enemies, who would most, assuredly have charged them with the attempt if it, had been made, and the agreement of all the manuscripts and versions extant, are pos itive proofs of th; integrity and incor ruptness of the New Testament; which are further attested by tlie agreement with it of all the quotations which occur in tlie writings of the Christians front the earliest ages to the present time. In fact, so far from there having been any gross adulteration in tlie sacred volumes, the best and most able critics Lave as. eerted and proved that, even in lesser matters, tlie Holy Scriptures of the New Testament have suffered less from the injury of time and errors of transcribers, than any other ancient writings whatever; and that the very worst manuscript extant would not prevent one article of our faith nor destroy one moral precept. The Hiccup. —We have often heard that people can find no remedy for that annoying complaint, the hiccup or hic cough. I may mention that some time ago I had occasion to call at a Highland shooting-lodge, and on entering the kitchen, where two English sportsmen were sitting, I happened to be attacked by a fit of hiccup, and must have cut rather an awkward figure. I observed one of the sportsmen take a piece of gray paper from his pocket, and after lighting and blowing it out, ho started up, and without saying a word, held the fumes of it opposite my mouthand nos trils. I started, to be sure, but was quite astonished to find myself immedi ately cured, and I have since seen it frequently tried on others, and always proving a “ never failing remedy.” f Special polices.

In all cases where a purgative remedy is required, I confidently recommend these Pills to the public, as superior to anv other I have ever found. They are sure in their operation, and perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in valuable article for public use. I have for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best Cough medicine in the world, and these Pills are in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation for the treatment of diseases.” “Acton, Me., Nov. 25. 1853. “ Dr. J.

At times it attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind, besides the unendurable pain ; at others it settled in the scalp of my head, and has kept me partly buld all my days ; sometimes it came out in my face, and kept it for months a raw sore. “About nine weeks ago I commenced taking your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely fl ee from the complaint. My eyes are well, in}' skin is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy growth; all of which makes me feel already a new person. “ Hoping this statement may be the means of conveying information that shull do good to oth ers, I am, with every sentiment of gratitude, Yours, Ac., MARIA RICKER.” “ I have known the above named Maria Kicker from her childhood, and her statement is strictly true.

Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from Boston, 20th April, 1854. “ Your Pills have cured me from a billious at tack which arose from derangement of the Liver, which had become very serious. I had failed of any relief by my Physician, and from every rem edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills have completely restored me to health. I have given them to my children for worms, with the best effects. They were promptly cured. I re commended them to a friend for costiveness, which had troubled him for months; he told me in a few days they had cured him. You make the best medicine in the world, and I am free hi say so.” Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have made him well known, not only in this, but the neighboring States. “New Orleans, hth April , 1854. u Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you that myself and family have been very much ben efited by your medicines. My wife was cured two years since, of a severe and dangerous cough, by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en joyed perfect health. My children have several times been cured from attacks of the Influenza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness which has grown upon me for some years,—in deed this cure is much more important from the fact that I had failed to get relief from the best Physicians which this section of the country af fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I had taken. “ You seem to us ?

The first case that 1 >hall mention in which I performed a cure was that of a servant, boy who had his right hand severely scalded by the falling of boiling oil on it, wn- in I few days perfectly cured by the application of a I mixture of Cream and Pain Killer, os directed in such cases. Then my girl was cured of an ob stinate cough Lastly, 1 shall refer to invscll I took the medicine—not from any confidence J had in it; on the contrary, I took it with a great deal of fear—however, I must own that it several times relieved ine of cold in the chest—and it cured me of a fever—of pain in the knee and an ulcer in the mouth. In addition to the above a case of cholera was brought to my notice ; a coachman was attacked with this disease, and medicines kept for this complaint were given to the man without any effect, and, as the last re sort, when he was cold and speechless, the Pain Killer was administered, which threw a warmth into the system and revived his sinking energy —in short, the man was restored. R. \V CHILL, Calcutta, India. Dear Sins-We began selling Perry Davis* Pain Killer with very little effort on our part; sales were small at first, but as it became known in our community, the demand increased very rapidly, far beyond our expectations, and every person that bought it. would come after mure, and speak in the highest terms of it as a valuable remedy f<» r all those diseases your pamphlet spoke of. From these recommendations we were induced to use it in our own families, and m w continue its use with great satisfaction. Wo have sold more of the Pain Killer than we ever have since or before of any other medicine in the same length of timeand we do not hesitate to say that it gives better satisfaction to the j ur chaser than any other article we have ever si Id. Hurry of business has prevented our send ng certificates, but we have in our vicinity fn m fifteen hundred to two thousand living witness, a who testify to l hoi r neighbors, day by day, of the value of Davis’ Pain Killer. Keep a large supply in nhe West, it is just, such a medicine as the people want, and they have already found out that they can cure the fever and ague for twenty-five cents. It will cure a cold in one hour—a severe cough in one night and has proved to be the best medicine in use for a dit* eased stomach and nmnv other purposes. LOCKWOOD & GRAHAM, Sandusky City. Ohio. Perry Davis’ Vegetable. Pain Killer.— Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much pleasure, we recommend to our readers tho above named medicine. We speak from our own observation and experience when we say that it removes pain as if by magic, from all parts of the body, and is one of the best medicines in use for checking diarrhoea, and removing the pro monitory symptoms of cholera, It is applied both internally and externally, with tli* - best effects, and none who have once used the Pain Killer, would willingly be without it constantly in their houses. —Cincinnati Evening Nonpareil. One word in regard to Perry l)avis Pain Killer. I have used it. in my family lor some years, and take great pleasure in recommending it .as a valuable medicine, that should be kept in every family. I have witnessed wonderful and speedy cures by its use recently, within the last week, I have known a very severe ease of rheumatism soon relieved and promising a speedy cure, by this, in my estimation, invalu able remedy. JAJJEZ 8. SWAN, Pastor of the Huntington street Baptist 1 Church, New London, Conn. \ Davis* Pain Killer, i was attacked with dysentery, and it soon became very distressing; I used this medicine according to the directions, and was cured in three days. My wife was also attacked with pain in the stomach, in con se quence of eating too soon after a tit of sickness; she was relieved ill a few minutes after taking this medicine. To use her own words, she said she felt the pain remobe after she had taken it, as quick as you could see a lump of sugar dis solve in cold water. My son was burnt so badly the skin was otf; 1 applied the medicine im mediately, and it took the lire out and healed the wound in less time than I oversaw one healed before. One of my children fell over a chair and bruised its head very bad, but the bruise was soon dispersed by bathing in this medicine. I will mention one case more of its wonderful effect in curing a wound inflicted by my sou’s falling out of doors and cutting himself badly ; the pain was soon relieved, and the wound healed by this medicine. In fact, it is the best family medicine I ever used for the cure of colds, coughs, and a number of other complaints inci dent to the human family. PERRY M. PECKIIAM, Fall River.
