LIGHT BEYOND
Beyond the stars that shine in golden glory,
Beyond the calm, sweet moon,
Up the brlirht ladder saints have trod before thee
Soulthou sbalt venture soon.
Safe with Him who secs thy heart sick yearning,
Secure in His arms of love.
Thou shalt exchange the midnight for the morn
ing,
And thy fair home above.
Oh! It is sweet to watch the world’s night wear
ing.
The Sabbath mom come on—
And sweet it were the vineyard labor sharing—
Sweeter the labor done.
All finished ! all the conflict and the sorrow,
Earth’s dream of anguish o’er;
Deathless there dawns for thee a nightless morrow,
On Eden’s blissful shore.
Patience ! then, patience '. soon the pang of dying
Shall all forgotten be,
And thou, through rolling spheres rejoicing, flying,
Beyond the waveless sea,
Shall know hereafter where thy Lord doth lead
thee,
His darkest dealings trace;
And by those fountains, where His love will feed
thep,
Behold Him face to face !
AT VIUHTFALL.
Two journeying forms upon a purple moor—
A shadowy level, boundless but for sky—
Both faces westward, watching the lost light
In clouds of dreamy garnet softly die.
One face a silent ecstaey of peace,
Blent with the pallor of strong suffering: one
Haggard aud passionate with supreme regret.
And eager-eyed toward the sunken sun.
One voice a rapture: “ Speed, O sacred night,
The noiseless tumult of thy stars ! At last
Ease my sun-wearied gaze aud bring the rest
That soothes while still we toil, stern day being
past!
One voice a pathos of despair, low-toned
And desolately mournful: “Canst thou see
These dim cloud colors here above, nor dream
How fair below that dawning world must bey’’
WANTED AT THE CROSS ROADS.
I was in a hurry to reach home. No
wonder, for it was the wildest night I
had evur known in my life, and the
country over which I took my way as
bad as country roads in general. Con
sequently 1 was walking at a great rate,
with the collar of my rough coat over
my ears, and a comforter tied over my
soft hat and under my chin to keep it
on and to protect my ears, when sud
denly a man stood full in my path and
caught me by the arm.
“Hallo?” said he, “you’re just in
time; you are wanted at the cross roads
to-night!”
The voice was the voice of a ruffian
I fancied myself attacked by a high
wayman. I stood quite still aud strove
and strove to show him by my manner
that I was able to protect myeelf.
“ What the duce am [ wanted at the
cross roads for?” said I. “Unless I
choose it will be a very bard matter to
get me there.”
But instead of producing a pistol and
demanding my money or my life, the
man answered in an altered tone.
“ Beg pardon, I made a mistake. T
thought it was my brother, and I want
ed to frighten him. Bad night, sir.”
“ You don’t know the time sir,” he
asked. “It was seven when I left the
train at L ,” I said.
“ Thank ye, sir,” said the man.
“ Good night.”
“ Good night,” said I.
If his object had been robbery, prob
ably he had decided from my rough
appearance that I was too poor a man
to bo worth the trouble. But after all,
I thought probably he spoke the truth.
A man may have such a voice without
being a highwayman, no doubt. So I
went homeward,and soon found myself
under shelter, and partaking of a warm
and savory supper.
My moths? was there and my brother
Ben. Ben was a strapping fellow’, who
could beat any other boy of his age for
miles around, if it came to wrestling or
boxing, and as good humored a boy as
ever lived; a boy always good to
mother and I, though he had exercised
his right to vote already at a Presiden
tial election. When supper was over,
and we had chatted for an hour, we
went up stairs together. We share one
room together. The moment Ben’s
head touched the pillow he always
went to sleep. That night I followed
his example. But I did not sleep long
without a dream —a dream in which I
felt a rough grip on my arm and was
aroused by a cry in my ears :
“ Wake up ! You are wanted at the
cross roads.” ♦
It was so real, so palpable, that when
I started broad awake I actually be
lieved that someone was in the room,
the man who intended robbery or vio
lence. But when I had arisen and lit
my lamp, the room was empty, except
myself and Ben, who lay snoring on his
pillow.
1 went to the door; it was locked.
1 went to the window ; the rush of rain
against the panes was all I heard. I
even went across the passage to my
mother’s room. She was awake! there
had been no unusual sound she was
sure.
Only a dream born of my meeting the
strange man in the road, I felt had
awakened me. I went to bed and fell
asleep again. Again I was awakened
by the same words ; this time shrieked
in my ears by an unearthly
“ Wake up ! wake up ! You are want
at the cross roads.”
I was on my feet once more and
caught Ben’s hand as he came over
towards my bed.
“ What ails you?” he cried.
“ Nothing,” said I. “ Bid you hear
a voice.”
“Yours,” said Ben; “your yelling
woke me up ; you fairly frightened me.”
“ Ben,” said I, “ wait till I light a
lamp ; I heard another voice. There
must oe someone in the house or out
side.”
r , lit the lamp, but we
searched in vain.
“Nightmare,” said Ben, when 1 told
him my story.
“ Ben,” said I, “ what is there at the
cross roads.”
“ A house,” said Ben. He had lived
in the neighborhood a long while, and
I not loug
“ One little house beside two oak trees
and a fence. An old man lives thoro
a rich man, and a bit of a miser, they
say. llis grand-daughter keeps house
for him.”
“ Ben, that fellow may have meant
harm to them. I may be wanted at
the cross roads.”
“Brother,” said Ben, “goto sleep.
You had a nightmare," and Ben plung
ed in between the blankets, and was
snoring again.
I also, in ten minutes, slept as sound
ly as before, but the awakening soon
came again.
I opened my eyes to see a girl stand
ing at the foot of my bed. A girl in
white robes, with golden hair all about
her shoulders, who wrung her hands
and cried: “ Oh, wake up, you are
wanted at the cross roads.”
This time I started out of bed, bathed
in a cold perspiration. I trembled like
a leaf. I had no doubt that I had re
ceived supernatural warning.
“ Ben,” I cried, “ Ben, for the third
time I have been told that I am want
ed at the cross roads, and I am going.”
And I began to dress myself as speedily
as possible, listening the while to the
storm raging wilder than at any other
period since its commencement.
Ben remonstrated with me in vain. At
last he began to huddle on his clothes
"If you have gone mad I must go along
and take care of you,” he said.
“But fancy another man going out in a
storm like this to the cross roads, because
a nightmare caused him to do so, and
what would you think of him ?”
I said nothing. All I could have an
swered would have been:
"I am compelled to go ; I must go. I
dare not refuse, whatever may be thought
of me.”
In ten minutes we were splashing
through the mud and rain along the road.
It was perfectly dark; now and tlieo a
blazed red star in the distance told us that
a lamp was beaming through the raiu in
some cottage window, but otherwise we
would not have been conscious of our
f>roximity to any habitation whatever. At
ast, nearing the spot where the road from
8 crosses the the road to P , we
were indeed in as solitary a place as can
be imagined.
The bouse which abutted on the very
angle of the roads, called in familiar par
lance the Cross Roads, was the only one
for some distance in either direction, and
certainly on such a night we were not
likely to meet many travelers.
All was quiet as the grave. We stood
quite still. In a moment Ben broke out
in one of his loudest laughs.
“Well,” be said, “how now ? Will you
go home now, and have another night
mare ?”
But hardly had the words escaped his
lips, wheu a shriek broke on the air, and
a woman’s voice, plainly coming from the
interior of the cottage, cried :
“Help! help! help!”
“Ben,” said I, “we’re wanted at the
cross roads,” and then, understanding
each other, without more words we made
our way to a window through which a
light shone. A muslin curtain draped the
pains, but through it we saw an awful
sight.
An old man lay on the floor, and over
him bent a ruffian, clutching his throat
aud holding a pistol 10 bis ear, while
another man grasped the shrieking girl by
the arm—a girl in a flowing night dress —
with such long golden hair as belonged to
the girl of my vision. Not a moment was
to he wasted. Ben flung his weight
against the slender lattice and crushed it
in, and we had grappled the ruffiaDS be
fore they knew where the attack came, or
how many foes were upon them.
I do not intend to describe the struggle;
indeed, I could not, if I would. But we
were strong men, and, inspired by the
cries of the helpless old man, the villains
were soon hound aud lay prostrate on the
floor.
Then Ben started for assistance, and be
fore morning both were lodged in jail- Ben
admitted, as we shook each other by the
hand, that we were wanted at the cross
roads.
The old man was not a miser, hut he
had saved a few thousand dollars for his
old age; and Jiving more plainly than he
need have done, gave rise to the rumor,
and so brought the burglars to the cross
roads in the hope of booty.
The girl, a beautiful creature of seven
teen, was his grand-daughter, and as no
story is acceptibieto the lady reader with
out a flavor of romance, I will tell them,
that she became in after years, not my
wife, but the wife of my darling brother
Ben.
ANECDOTES OF CARLYLE ANL BAKOV
The last number of Hearth and
Home contains an article by Grace
Greenwood, entitled “ Persons I have
missed Seeing.” One of these is Car
lyle, whom she says she failed to 6ee,
although letters of introduction tvere
afforded to her, because she “ was
afraid of Mr. Carlyle,” and justifies
herself by relating a batch of anec
dotes, of which the following are a
specimen :
Still, in the case of Mr Carlyle, I
might have rashly “ moved on the en
emy’s works,” had my courage not
been dashed by the reception which a
very respectable American, a gentle
man, a scholar, and a Bostonian, had
just met with in that cottage at Chel
sea. On the morning of his visit, Mr.
Carlyle may have been in a particular
ly bad humor, or there was something
in the cool Boston air of his visitor that
didn’t agree with him, or he may have
been indulging in a little bluff pleasant
ry, but at all events his greeting was
little calculated to put a stranger at
his ease.
“So you are from America,” he said ;
then added, “ I don’t like Americans ;
they are a hot, hurrying, uncomforta
ble race. Now, I like your Russian—
he is a cool, contemplative animal, that
minds his own business.”
This was almost as royal a piece of
snubbing as, about a quarter of a cen
tury before, Byron had given another
Bostonian. That most patrician poet
seems not to have been without a cer
tain curious interest in America and
the Americans. Had he lived in the
days of steamships he would probably
have brought his “ Childe Harold ” or
his “ Don Juan ” to the United States.
He often expressed a strong desire to
see the cataract of Niagara, and was
always interested in descriptions of it
So when, at an evening party in Genoa,
he was told that a young American
artist was present, he readily consented
to an introduction, hoping to receive
some new impressions of the falls. Al
most his first words, spoken with great
earnestness, were:
“Pray, tell me something of Niagara.”
The young Bostonian did not redden
—are Bostonians apt to?—hut he stam
mered slightly, very like a high-bred
youug Englishman, as he replied ;
“I regret to have to acknowledge to
your lordship that I have never seen
Niagara.”
“Never seen Niagara! and traveling
abroad ! Good evening, sir.”— Harper’s
Magazine.
A MENAGERIE LOOSE IV MISSISSIPPI.
Cor. Brandon (Miss.) Republican.
Forest, Miss., March 24. —Several days
previous immense posters were posted on
all the walls in town,annouuciug that Rey
nold’s Great Mexican Gymnasium and
Menagerie would exhibit m Forest ou that
day. Early in the morning all the roads
leading to town were thronged with peo
ple of all ages, sexes and colors, and by
ten o’clock the whole town was alive with
visitors awaiting the arrival of the me
nagerie. At eleven the liue brass band
announced the arrival of the show, and by
twelve the canvas was stretched and the
cages of the animals arrauged.
The hugeelephant Hercules—the largest
ever imported into this country—was
chained to a stake, and by the way of cau
tiou to those entering the canvas, Mr. John
Alston, his keeper, slated that he had for
several days manifested a disposition of
Tnsuou, **--». **"d begged that no one
would approach sumcieiuiy tn re .
ceive a blow from bis trunk. Mr. Mark
Kite, from the northern part of this coun
ty, corniug iu after Mr. Alston’s ad
monition, thoughtlessly handed him a
piece of tobacco, which so enraged him
that lie struck at him with such violence
as to dislocate his shoulder, although it
was a glancing blow. lie piuuged with
such force that he broke his chain, and
although his keeper used every effort to
subdue him, he was entirely uucoutrolla
ble, aud he would strike aud kick at every
object near him. By this time the scene
was beyoud description. The vast crowd
fled for life. He flew at his keeper aud
pursued him from under the canvas.
The eleven o’clock freight train being
behind time,aud uot haviugany freight for
Forest, and theeugiueer uot intending to
stop,came rushing along at the rate of twen
ty miles au hour. When it had approach
ed within two hundred yards he looked
up the road and seemed doubly enraged.
He immediately ran toward it with great
speed, aud met it with such a shock that
he broke one of his tusks aud was imme
diately killed. The engine was detached
from the train aud throwu from the track,
and Mr. Wharton, the engineer, having
failed to shut off the steam, it uufortunate
ly rau into the cauvas aud smashed the
lion’s cage, killiug the lioness and releas
ing the lion. The lion, ftuding himself
uninjured aud at liberty, aud beiug fright
ened by the steam and whistle of the en
gine, started at full speed dowu the
Homeward road, roaring terrifically. He
had goue but a short distauce when be
met Mr. George Sheppard and gave chase.
Mr. Sheppard finding that he was gainiug
on him rapidly, and that he would cer
tainly be overtaken, attempted to climb a
sappliug. He struck at him with his
paw as he ascended, but fortunately did
no other damage than to tear otf his coat
tail aud carry away a part of his pants.
Mr. John Smith, of Raleigh, who was
on his way to Forest, riding his fine pacing
horse, with his little son behind him, met
him four miles from here. As soou as his
horse saw him he neighed, when the lion
rushed at him, seized him by the throat
and threw him upon the ground. Mr.
Smith, with bis little sou, escaped to the
woods and made their way to Forest on
foot.
While he was devouring Mr. Smith’s
horse, Mr. James J. Ritch, who was on his
way to Forest with a load of chickens,
drove up. As soon as he saw him he
reared ou his hind feet, lashed the ground
with iiis tail and sprang at him Mr.
Ritch eluded him by jumping from his
wagon, when he mounted and began to
tear open the boxes containing the chick
ens aud turned them out. He then seemed
to lose sight of everything in his efforts to
catch them.
When the excitement in town abated,
about twenty mounted men, well armed,
started in pursuit, with all the dogs be
longing in town, as well as mauy that had
followed their owners. Mr. Reynolds,
theownerof the lion, begged them not to
kill him, and sent several men with the
crowd with instructions to capture him if
possible; but no doubt the citizens will
kill him as soon as they overtake him.
It is reported that he killed a freedman
in Smith county, near Mr. Thomas Hus
band’s, and that when last heard from he
was going down Oooha. The news that a
lion is at large spreads like wildfire, and
the citizens are greatly excited.
SOME CHOLERA DISINFECTA.\T.
A Cincinnati local was presented with a
sample of a “deodorizer aud cholera disin
fectant,” with a request to notice it. He
says he noticed it as soon as he smelt it,
and thus relates the sequel;
Didn’t wish to terrify the family by the
ostentatious display of cholera precautions
of an extraordinary nature, so we took
our patent deodorizer home secretly, con
cealed u rider our coat. Terrible commo
tion in the street car. The windows were
thrown up hastily, handkerchiefs applied
furiously to noses, and a general applica
tion of camphor gum, of which each one
b»d a supply in his pocket. Profane fel
lows swore at the Board of Health for not
cleaning the streets. One was sure it was
in the gutters ; another thought it was in
the air; a toper, half drunk, said he was
satisfied “it was iu the (hie) water.”
“I’ll tell what it’s iu,” said a gloomy
man, eyeiog us suspiciously.
“What?” the passengers shrieked with
one voice.
“/£’« in (he car /”
With a wild yell they jumped up at
once and tumbled out, leaving us all alone,
aud monarch of all we deodorized.
Got into the house unperceived, and de
posited the disinfectant in the cellar, then
hurried back to the office. There was a
good deal of it about our clothes, so much
so that one or two men who owed us bor
rowed motley, avoided us altogether. Felt
emotions iu the region of the stomach,
that were disagreeably suggestive. Got a
little alarmed, aud concluded to deordorize
the disinfectant, which we did with a
glass of brandy. Felt a little better, but
began to feel alarmed about the effect of
that disinfecting compound upon the
family. Hurried home—found the house
shut up, aud nobody in. Terrible smeil
about the house—neighbors all terrified.
Asked one of them where my family was,
and he said they had gone down to the
bone-toiling district to get out of the
smell.
Opened the door, but had to close it
again, the smell was so bad. Went round
to the back yard aud saw the rats leaving
in great precipitation. A neighbor sug
gested that a candle he lowered down the
chimney to test the foulness of the air be
fore the house was opened. Saloons in
the neighborhood doing an immense busi
ness in the sale of brandy and whisky.
Flannel belts iu demaud. A country wo
man with a load of watermelons mobbed
and driven back. Arrival of a police
officer who arrested U 9 for keepiug a
nuisance on our premises. Explanation
made, and we are paroled until the house
can be opened. Burnt some pitch on the
front doorstep, aud were then enabled to
get to thrgw up the windows. When!
they preferred the cholera.
The disinfectant is nearly abolished
now, aud family back again enjoying
their usual health. They say they don’t
wish to be more.
WORK FOR "THE MONTH.
The question of how much cotton
should be planted this year, will be set
tled in a few weeks. The only advice
we have felt at liberty to offer our
readers has been, make ample prepara
tions for a provision crop, and after
that, plant as much cotton as can he
well manured, well cultivated, and nice
ly picked out next fall. Even when
cotton commands a good price, it is
doubtful policy to rely on foreign sup
plies of food—the crops of the North
west may he short, or European de
mands may draw off the surplus.
Moreover, to use a homely but expres
sive adage, it is not well “ to have all
our eggs in one nest ” —the season may
he a very poor one for cotton, but very
good for grain. A farmer should diver
sify his crops—at least up to the point
where they begin to clash with each
other. One of the most serious objec
tions to the cotton crop, is its incom
patibility with other crops. From Jan
uary to January, its calls are almost
incessant —especially is it difficult to
manage small grain in connection with
it. Whilst, therefore, we have no dis
position to join in an indiscriminate
outcry against cotton, we should be ex
ceedingly glad to see the cotton crop
brought within legitimate hounds, and
other crops advanced to their proper
dimensions in comparison with it. In
the language of Bishop Pierce, “we
protest against the cotton screw stretch
ing out its long arms, as if it would
take in all the farm.” Another very
important consideration, which we
hope our readers will not forget, is,
that farmers who raise cotton to buy
provisions, are very often compelled to
force sales of cotton at ruinous prices.
Witness the experience of 1867—one of
the most disastrous years in the histo
ry of cotton planting at the South, and
much of that disaster due to the very
circumstance now under consideration.
But to move immediately to the mat
ter in hand : Cotton is now to be plant
ed, and fortunately we have simple,
cheap and capital “Cotton Planters”
—the “Bow Law ” for instance—which
which will distribute any quantity of
seed one may wish, in a straight, nar
row drill, leaving it in most admirable
condition for the first working. Suc
cess depends so much upon the first
working being properly and rapidly
done, nothing should be neglected which
may facilitate it. For those portions
of the South where the season is rather
short for cotton, the “ Bickson ” variety
is probably best adapted. We trust
other aud still better varieties may yet
be produced, and we would urge upon
onr readers increased effort in »R ; " :;
rection. w nat we need most, is early
maturity, coupled with fine staple.
The impression is general, that in
consequence of the political troubles in
Cuba, Sugar and molasses will be scarce
and dear. Our friends in Louisiana
and Texas, where the sugar-cane flour
ishes, have an admirable opportunity
for making money. Would it not be
well for those living in less favored re
gions, to save some money by planting
Sorgho pretty largely? Our corres
pondent, Br. W. A. Harrison, of Green
ville, S. C., tells us of great improve
ments recently, in purifying the syrup,
and making sugar of Sorgho. Other
accounts of similar import have reached
us. We should be glad to learn more
of this matter—what the improvements
consists in, etc., etc.
As soon as the cotton planting is
over, the first working should be given
to corn. Bon’t delay, but push rapidly
on, so as to be ready for cotton bv the
time it is up. Run around the corn
with a small plow, and if you have
time, break out the middles thoroughly.
If the corn is youDg, as it ought to be
at this working, there is no danger of
injury from breaking the roots. If you
have not time to break out middles,
run over with a harrow or cultivator,
and kill the young weeds and grass.
Remember the experiment given in the
Beeember No. of 1868, about soaking
corn seed in lime, mixed with water, to
prevent bud-worms, and try it and see
if the result there given, was an acci
dental circumstance or not. What an
impulse would be given to agriculture,
if each one of our farmers would make
only one careful experiment, guarding
all sources of error—leaving no point
for doubt. —Southern Cultivator for April. \

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be the most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is -wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints:
ScitOFULA. AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulceus,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Deiiility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose
or St. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity of
the Blood.
Tliis compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel’the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feeiings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery ol
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
lias followed the use of the various extraots of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. Ami we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

AND
HOLLOW ATS OINTMENT.
DISORDERS OF THE STOM ACII, LIVER, AND
BOWELS.
rpHE STOMACH is the great centre which in-
L ffuences the health or disease of the system;
abused, or debilitated by excess, indigestion, of
fensive breath, and physical prostration are the
na ural consequences. Allied to the brain, it is
the source of headaches, mental depression, ner
vous complaints, aud unrefreshing sleep. The
Liver becomes affected, and venerates bilious dis
orders, pains in the side, etc. The Bowels sym
pathize by costiveness, diarrhoea, and dysentery.
The principal action of these Pills is on the Stom
ach, and the Liver, Lungs, Bowels, and Kidneys
participate in their recuperative aud regenera
tive operation.
ERYSIPELAS AND SALT RHEUM
Are two of the most common and virulent dis
orders prevalent on this continent. To these the
Ointment is especially antagonistic. Its modus
operandi is first to eradicate the venom, and then
complete the cure.
BAD LEGS, OLD SORES, AND ULCERS.
Cases of many years’ standing, that have jierti
naciously refused to yield to any other remedy or
treatment, have invariably succumbed to a few
applications of this powerful unguent.
EH UPTIONS ON THE SKIN,
Ari Sing irom a bad state of the blood or chronic
diseases are eradicated, and a clear and trans
parent surface regained by the restorative action
of this Ointment. It surpasses many of the cos
metics and other toilet appliances in its power to
dispel rashes and other disfigurements of the
face.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
Whether In the young or old, married or single,
at the dawn of womanhood or the turn of file,
these tonic medicines display so decided an Influ
ence that a marked improvement is soon percep
tible in the health of the patient. Being a purely
vegetable preparation, they are a saleand reliable
remedy for allclassesof females In every condi
tion of heallb and station of life.
PILES AND FISTULA.
Every form and feature of these prevalent and
stubborn disorders is eradicated locally and en
tirely by the use of this emollient. Warm fomen
tations shoald precede its application. Its heal
ing qualities will be found to be thorough and
invariable.
Both the Olnement and the Pills should be used
in the following cases: Bunions. Burns, Chapped
Hands, Chilblains, Flsl ula. Gout, Lumbago, Bore
Legs, Bprains, Tetters Uiceis, Sore Throats, Bores
of all kinks, Mercurial Eruptions, Piles, Rheum
atism, Ringworm, Balt Rheum, i-calds. Skin
