The Shadow ox the Pili.ow. —The
following incident was communicated
by Sir John M’Neil: “A Highland
soldier had his arm so severely wcunded
that it was about to be amputated, when
Miss Nightingale requested the operation
delayed, as she thought under careful
nursing the arm might be preserved.
By her unremitting care this was ac
complished, and the poor soldier, on
being asked what he felt towards his
preserver, said that the only mode lie
had of giving vent to his feelings was In
kissing her shadow when it fell on his
pillow as she passed through the ward
on her nightly visit.”
Serving Up a Rogue.—A rogue had
the audacity to go into a hotel with a five
dollar counterfeit bill, and ask the propri
etor to change it. The landlord looked
at the bill, then at the man, (who was gen
teelly dressed,) and finally inquired how
he wanted it changed ?
“Into small bills—one’s, if you have
them,” was the reply.
The landlord took from out of the back
part of his drawer a large pile of bills
and handed over five ones to the rogue,
who walked out of the house highly ela
ted ; but he soon discovered to his aston
ishment that the one dollar hills were ull
on broken banks!
']'he man who attempted to look
into the future, had the door slammed in
his face.

forced to the conclusion that his patient was suff

prevailed upon her to take two doses of Dr
M’Lane’s Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros,

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For th© rapid Cure of
rorciis, colds, hoarseness,
BRONCHITIS,AYIIOOPIIVG-fOIIGH,
CROIP, ASTHIIA, AND
CONSUMPTION
This remedy is offered to the community with
the confidence we feel in an article which seldom
fails to realize the happiest effects that can be
desired. So wide is the tieM of its usefulness
and so numerous the eases of its cures, that
almost every section of the country abounds in
persons, publicly known, who have been restored
iroin alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs, by its use. When once tried its su
periority over every other medicine of its kind is
too apparent to vntion, and where its
virtues are known, ilw public no longer hesitate
what antidote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs,
which arc incident to our climate.
Nothing has called louder for the earnest en
quiry of med»cal men, than the alarming preva
lence and futility of consumptive complaints, nor
has any one class of diseases had more of their
investigation and care. But as yet no adequate
remedy has been provided, on which the public
could depend for protection from attacks upon
the respiratory organs, until the introduction of
the Cherry Pectoral. This article is the product
of a long, laborious, and I believe succesrdul en
deavor,'to furnish the community with such a
remedy. Os this last statement the American
people are now themselves pi oared to judge, and
I appeal with confidence to their decision, if
there is any dependence to be placed in what
men of every class and station certify it has done
for them, if we can trust our own senses, when
we see dangerous affections of the throat and
lungs yield to it, it we can depend mi the assur
ance or intelligent Physicians, who make it. their
business to know, —in short, if there is any re
liance upon anything, then is it irrefutably proven
that this medicine does relieve and does cure the
class of diseases it is designed for, beyond any
and all others that are known to mankind. If
this bo true, it cannot be too freely published, nor
be too ividelv known. The afflicted should know
it. A remedy that cures is priceless to them.
Parents should know it. A remedy that cures
is priceless to them. All should know it, for
health can be priced to no one. Not only should
it be circulated here, but everywhere, not only
in this conutry but all countries. How faithful
ly we have acted on this conviction, is shown in
the fact that already this article has made the
circle of the globe. The sun never sets on its
limits. No continent is without it, and but few
peoples. Although not in so general use in other
nations as in this, it is employed by the more in
telligent in almost all civilized countries. It is
extensively employed in both Americas—in Lu
r >pe, Asia, Africa,*Ausfral a and the far oil’islands
of the sea. Life is as dear to its possessors there
as here, and they grasp at a valuable remedy
with even more avidity than ourselves. Unlike
most preparations of its kind, it is an expensive
composition of costly material. Still it is afford
ed to the public at a reasonably low p-ice, and
what is of vastly more importance to them, its
quality is never suffered to decline from its origi
nal standard of excellence. Every bottle of this
medicine, now manufactured, is as good as ever
has been made heretofore, or as we are capable
of making. No toil or cost is spared, in main
taining it in the best perfection which it is possi
ble to produce. Hence the patient who procures
the genuine Cherry Pectoral, can rely on hav
ing as good an article as has ever been had by
those who testify to its cures.
By pursuing this course I have the hope of
doing some good in the world, as well as the
satisfaction of believing that much has been done
already.

forms once full, round and plump, have become
shrunken, thin and bony? Hut to the letter:
“Dear S’”: Were it not from conviction of
your hospitable feelings towards a good number
of patients who anuov you with the narration of
frivolous and fancied ailments, 1 should never be
emboldened to undertake so awkward a task as
the consulting you in relation to myself; and if
after stating my condition, which I conceive to be
the result, of some diseases—what 1 know not —•
you should regard it as purely of the imagination,
rather than actual disease, a statementto that ef
fect from you would, I am confident, prove us
remedial to the fancy, as would your remedies,
did actual disease exist.
“ I have always enjoyed the best of heal ill, and
up to Hie present time hardly have known what
paiu or s'Miering was. Ido not now remember
ever to have had a spell of sickness, or being in
ary way indisposed, with the exception perhaps,
of an occasional and but very slight headache.
My appetite is good -perhaps too good. 1 digest
my food without, difficulty, can walk without fa
tigue. I sleep well, and can say, as l have alrea
dy said that I apparently enjoy the best of health.
Yet, notwithstanding the mass of testimony in
favor of my being entirely exempt from disease,
there is a condition of system that, I am unable to
account for. I allude to the fact that for the last
eighteen or twenty-four months I have entirely
lost, the rotundity of torni which has always been
natural tome up to Hie time relived to*. It. is
now nea- two years since I first discovered that
I was gradually losing flesh, and at the present
time, my arms, neck, and ii. fact the whole per
son. which was once full, round and linn, are now
very much shrunken, attenuated and bony. Be
lieving that such a condition of body could not
take pmee, at any rate continue to exist torso long
a period without having for its cause diseased ac
tion somewhere. I applied for medical advice,
hut without gaining either satisfaction or any
benefit. 1 was told by one physician that 1 would
regain my flesh after a while—by another that I
would recruit, us soon as cold weather came, and
by another that as soon as warm weather came I
would be as fleshy as eve”. And now, sir, I apply
to you, not only for an opinion, but for treatment,
in your judgement, the case demands it,” Ac.
Most certainly does the case demand treatment,
and for two reasons, viz: that diseased action may
he removed, and that the rotundity of form may
be restored. The latter is accomplished l»v the
removal ot the former, which is not only the cause
in the above ease, but in others of like character.
The idea that a thin, spare habit is natural to
some, is entirely erroneous; for in every instance
it is the result of disease, either hereditary or
produced bv natural causes. Asa matter for
consideration by physicians, this one lias been
almost totally disregarded; and one of greater
iinporfUnee can scarcely be nient ioned ; important
not only from the fact that, vital organs are dis
eased, and also because of that disease, beauty of
form and comeliness are sacrificed.
Let us now look into i he eaust. of'all this trouble.
What is it ? Why this shrunken, lean and bony
condition? It is faulty nutrition; the body is im
perfectly nourished, from the fact that, good, rich
and healthy blood is not present, and through
which alone can the body be well nourished and
duly developed. Why is not good, rich and heal
thy blood present?—for certainly, in many cases
there is no lack of appetite, or of good, substan-
t r *tl and wholesome food, and plenty of it, which
makes good blood. The reason is simple—for al
vhough there is no want of appetite or good food,
and in abundance, yet the blood is not taken up
and carried into the circulation, or at any rate,
but a small por!.<on of it—and why? Because of
the congested state, of the digest'.ire organs. This is
the trouble—the system is in that pr< cisc same
state that it would be were it in u half starved
condition. And now, how is it that a congested
state of the digestive organs prevents the fond
from being carried into the circulation and con
verted into good blood. Those who have read
my advertisements of last week are fully acquaint
ed', I think with the wav that the food is carried
into the circulation in the form of chile, and con
verted into blood, a id it now only remains for me
to give the reason why it is not, in the condition
under consideration, carried there and converted
into good blood. The mucus membrane which
lines the stomach continues into the bowels and
lines them also: it is one continuous membrane.
I have already described how, in the upper bow
els, their sides are pierced with an innumerable
number of little orifices, which are mouths of lit
tle vessels or tubes, whose office if is to absorb or
take up the food after it is formed into chile and*
pass it along into a large vein, and 011 through
this vein is chile carried to the heart from whence
it is propelled to the lungs, and there by its com
ing in contact with atmosphere, is converted in
to blood and now ready for purposes of nutrition
or nourishing the body. From the Jungs, it is
(now being made into good blood) brought hack
to the heart again through large veins, and from
the heart sent throughout the entire eystem
through the arteries.
Now the mucus membrane which lines the
stomach and the bowels, also dips into these little
mouths of the vessels above spoken of, and also
lines them. And I think now it can be easily
seen that when the digestive organs are in a con
gested and inflamed condition, that there is more
or less of a swollen state of that mucus membrane
and inconsequence of the swollen state of the
membrane, the mouth of these vessels, from their
being so very minute, would he entirely closed
up, which would of course prevent the taking of
the chile and of its being carried into the circula
tion, and in consequence of its not being taken
up by these vessels it is passed on through the
bowels and expelled, and without the system re
ceiving any benefit of ita nourishing properties.
It is plain, then, from the foregoing, that our
Reined.al measure must be directed to tbe diges
tive organs, for it is by the congestion of these
that this shrunken, attenuated and bony condi
tion is brought about. What shall be our reme
dies V Those that will remove the congested state
and restore them to a healthy condition. In ad
vance of all other remedial means is the using of
BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY, and the follow
ing out of all the directions accompanying it, and
by so doing and persevering in the taking of the
remedy, not only every vestage of the disease will
hi removed, but a gradual and steady improving
in flesh and rotundity of form will be the result.
It is the experience of every one, and it. has of
ten been made the subject of remark by those who
have taken the Remedy for some time to gain iu
flesh ; and if I have been understood above it will
now be seen it does it, viz : by removing the con
gested state of the digestive organs, which pre
vents the manufacture of good, healthy blood and
conseouentlv proper nourishment of the body.
