rical that he was nearly S,WO j,.. _ __ of theaeientists of his day. He, more Uian 1,000 years be lore Christ, seemed to know about the circulation of the blood, which Harvey discovered 1.619 years after Christ, for when Solomon, in Ecclesiastes, describing the human body, speaks of the pitcher at the fountain, he evidently means the three canals leading from the heart that receive the blood like pitchers. When he speaks in Ecclesiastes of the silver cord of life, fie evidently means the spinal marrow, about which, in our day. Drs. Mayo and Carpenter and Dalton aid Flint and Brown-Sc :uard have experimented. And ISolomoa recorded in the Bible, thousands of ye \.s before scientists discovered it, that lu his time the spinal eord relaxed in old age. producing the tremors of hand and bead: “Or the silver cord be loosed.*' In the text he reveals the fact that In had studied that largest gland of

1ue human system. the liver.not by the electric light of the modern dissecting' room, but by the dim light of a comparatively dark age. and yet had seen its important functions m the Godbuilt castle of the human body, its selecting and secreting power: its curi0 seel Is. its elongated branching tubes. Divine workmanship in central and right and left lobe, and the hepatic artery through whieh’flow the crimson tides. Oh. this vital organ is like the eye of God in that it never sleeps. Solomon knew of it. and had noticed either in vivisection or post-mortem what awful attacks sin and dissipation make upon it. until the fiat of Almighty God bids the body and soul j separate, and the one it commends to | the grave, and the other it sends to ! judgment. A javelin of retribution. not glancing off or making a slight | wound, but piercing it from side to ' ai I • * till a dart strike through his !

In te ing a diagnosis of diseases of the ; a ».il y>u mustalso take a diagnosis of j tit ■ diseases of the body. As if to ree- j ogniz this, one whole Tiook of the New i Tc-tament was. written by a physician. ; Lul.e was a med ical doctor, and he dia- j coor .es much of the physical conditions. and he tells of the good Samaritan's medication of the wounds by j pouring in oil and wine, and recognises hunger as a hindrance to hearing I the Gospel, so that the 5,000 were fed; j lie also recognizes the sparse diet of j tb. prtHligal away from home, and the extinguished eyesight of the beggar by j the wayside, and lets us know of the | hemorrhage of the dying Christ and i the miraculous post-mortem resnscita- - tion. Any estimate of the spiritual i conditions that does not include also the physical condition is incomplete. V/hen the doorkeeper of congress fell dead from excessive joy because ltuvgovne had surrendered at Saratoga. j and Philip V. of Spain dropped dead at ! tl»e new> of his country's defeat in ] battle, and Cardinal Wolscy faded j away as the result of Henry VlIL’s anath r.ia. it was demonstrated that 1 the t*od y and aoul are Siamese twins, j and when you thrill the one with joy or so* row you thrill the other. We ua\ well recognize the tremendous j fa Ciat there are two mighty f*»rtr.-^» * in the human bod;, the heart an toe liter; the heart the fortess of tb. ;races, the liver the fortress of the 1 • oia. You may have the head tilled \v . iy all intellectualities, and the ear

will* all mn.ieal appreciation. and the mouth with all eloquence, and the j hand with all industries, and the heart i with all generosities. and yet *a dart j •trike through the liver.” First, let Christian people avoid the j mistake that they are ail wrong with God. because they suffer from deprea- j •ion of spirits. Many a consecrated j man has found his spiritual sky tie* , fogged and his hope of Heaven blotted j out aud himself plunged chin deep in the slough of despond, aud has said: **\Ty heart is not right with God, and J think l must have made a mistake. ; and instead of being a child of light I am a child of darkness. Xo one can feel as gloomy as l feel and he a Chris- j turn.** And he has gone to his minister for consolation, and he has collected FI are Is books and Cecil’s books and Baxter's books and read and read and read, and praved and prayed and prayed, and wept and wept and wept, and groaned and groaned aud groaned. My brother, your trouble is not with the heart, it is a gastric disorder or a rebellion of the liver. You need a physician more than you do a clergyman. It is not sin that blots out your hope of Heaven, but bile. It not only yellows your eyeballs, and Cut's your tongue, and makes your head a?be. but swoops upon your soul in dejections and forebodings. The devil is after you. He has failed to despoil your character, and he does the next best thing for him—he ruffles your peace of mind. When he says that you are not a forgiven soul, when he says you are not right, with God. when he nays that you will never get to Ueaven. be lies, if you are in Christ you are just as sure of Heaven a > - though you were there already. Bat Satan, tiudinj that he can not keep you out of the promised ia:» l of Canaan, has deter uined that the spies shall not bring jou any of th_- fci -c m! grape-, beforeband and that you shad ha-v nothing but pricktv pear aud era > apple. You 9

are just as much a Christian now under the cloud as you were when you were accustomed to rise in the morning at 5 o’clock to pray and sing “Halleluiah, *tte done!” My friend. Her. Dr. Joseph F. Jones, of Philadelphia, a translated spirit now, wrote a book entitled, ‘‘Man, Mora! and Physical,’’ in which he shows how different the same things may appear to different people. He says: “After the great battle on the Mineio in 1859 between the French and tbe Sardinians on the one side and the Austrians on the other, so disastrous to the latter, the defeated army retreated, followed by the victors. A description of the march of each army is given by two correspondents of the London Times, one of whom traveled with the successful host, the other with the defeated. The difference in views and statements of the same i place, scenes and events is ref markable. The former^ are said to be j marching through a beautiful and lux- ; uriant country during the day, and at 1 night encamping where they are supplied with an abundance of the best [ provisions and all sorts of rural dain- [ ties. There is nothing of war about the proceeding except its stimulus and excitement. On the side of the poor Austrians it is just the reverse. In his ! letter of the same date, describing the I same places and a march OTer the same road, the writer can scarcely find words to set forth the suffering, impatience and disgust existing around him. What was pleasant to the former was intolerable to the latter. What made all this difference? asks the author. “One condition only: the French are victorious, the Austrians.havc been defeated.’ *

bo, my dear brother, the road you are traveling is the same you have been traveling a long while, but the | difference in your p ysical condition makes it look different, and therefore the two reports you have given of yourself are as widely different as the reports in the London Times from the two correspondents. Edward Paysun, sometimes so far up on the mount that it seemed as if the centripetal force of earth could no longer hold him. sometimes through a physical disorder was so far down that it seemed as if the nether world would clutch him. Poor William Cowper was a most excellent Christian, and will be loved in the Christian church as long as it sings his hymns beginning. “There is a fountain tilled with blood.” “Oh. for a Closer walk with God.” “What various hindrances we meet” and ‘"God moves in a mysterious way.” Yet he was so overcome of melancholy, or black bile, that it was only through the mistake of the cab driver who took him to a wrong place, instead of the river bank, that he did not eornmit suicide. Spiritual condition so mightily aflected by the physical state, what a great opportunity this gives to the Christian physician, for he can feel at the same time both the pulse of the body and the pulse of the soul, and he can administer to both at once, and if medieine is needed he can give that, and if spiritual counsel is needed he can give that—an earthly and a divine prescription at the same time—and call on not only the apothecary of earth, but the pharmacy of Heaven! Ah. that is the kind of doctor I want at my bedside, one that can not only count out the right number of drops, but who can also pray. That is the kind of doctor I have had in my house when sickness or death came. I do not want any of your profligate or atheistic doctors around mv loved ones when the balances of life are trembling. A doctor who has gone through the medical college, and in dissecting room has traversed the wonders of human mechanism, and found no God in any of the labyrinths, is a fool, and can not doctor me or«- mine. Hut. oh! the Christian doctors! What a comfort "they have been in many of our households! And they ought to have a warm place in ou * prayers, as well as praise on our tong ues. 1 bless God that the number of Christian physicains is multiplying, and some of the students of the medical colleges are here to-day. and 1 hail you aud ordain you to the tender, healthful. Heavea-descended work of a Christian phyiieian. and when yon take

your aiptoma m ui me meuicai couege 1 to look after the perishable be sure also I to get a diploma from the skies to look j after the imperishable soul. Let all j Christian physicians unite with minis- , ter* of the Gospel it persuading good ; people that it is "not because God is ] against them that they sometimes j feed depressed, but K*cause of their diseased body, 1 suppose I'avi1, i the psalmist. was no more pi- j ous when he called u|mb everything human and augelic. animate and-inan-imate, even from snowflake to liurri- < cane, to praise God, than when he , said. '•Out of the depths of hell have 1 j cried unto thee, O Lord;’* or that Jeremiah was more pious when he wrote his proplu ey than whenahe wrote his ‘•Lamentations;’’ or Job when he said, j ‘•I know that my Redeemer liveih.'' ; than when eovered over with the pustules of elephantiasis as he sat in the i ashes scratching the scabs off with a broken piece of pottery: or that Aiex- ! under Crude it. the. concord ist, was a better man when he compiled the book that has helped ten thou-j sand students of the Rible. than when ■ under the power of physical disorder he was handcuffed ami strait-waist- i coated in iiethnal Green ionite asy- j lum. •*Oh,~ says some Christian man. “nooue ought to allow physical disor- ■ der to depress his soul.

who am atrabilious what Is the matter with them. Do not charge against the heart the crimes of another portion of jour organism. Do not conclude that because the path to Heaven is not arbored with as fine a foliage, or the banks beautifully snowed with exquisite chrysanthemums as once, that, therefore, you are on the wrong road. The road will bring you out at the same gate whether you walk,with the stride of an athlete or come up on crutches. Thousands of Christians, morbid about ; their experiences, .and morbid about the present, and morbid about the future, need the sermon I am now preaching. Another practical use of this subject is for the young. The theory is abroad that they must first sow their wild oats, and afterward Michigan wheat. Let uie break the delusion. Wild oats are generally sown in the liver, and they can never be pulled up. They so preoccupy that organ that there is no i room for the implantation of a righteous crop. You see aged men about us i at 80, erect, agile, splendid, grand old j men. • How much wild oats did they j sow between 18 years and SO? j None, absolutely none. God does : not often honor with old age j those who have in early life sac- i rifieed swine on the altar of the bodily j temple. Remember, O young man, j that while in afterlife, and after years j of dissipation, you may perhaps have ! your heart changed, religion does not j

change the liver. Trembling and staggering along these streets to-day are men. all bent, and decayed, and prematurely old for the reason that they are paying for leins they put upon their physical estate ln»fore they were 00. By early dissipation they put on their body a first mortgage, and a second mortgage, and a third mortgage to the devil; and these mortgages are now being foreclosed, and all that remains of their j earthly estate the undertaker will soon put out of sight. Many years ago, in fulfillment of my text, a dart struck through their liver, and is there yet. God forgives, but outraged physical j law never, never, never. That has a ! Sinai, but no Calvary. Solomon, in my [ text, knew what he was talking about. | and he rises up on his throne of worldly splendor to shriek out a warning to j all the centuries. What? Will a man's body never com- ; pletely recover from early dissipation ' in this world? Never. How about the j world to come? Perhaps God will fix j it up in the resurrection body so that ! it will not have to go limping through all eternity; but get the liver thor- j oughly damaged and it will stay dam- ; aged as long as you are here. Phy- j sieians call it cirrhosis of the liver, or • inflammation of the liver, or fatty de- i generation of the liver, but Solomon j puts all these pangs into one figure and j says: “Till a dart strike through his j liver.” That young man smoking cigarettes and smoking cigars has no idea that j he is getting for himself smoked liver, i That young man has no idea that he has by early dissipation so depleted his energies that he will go into the battle only half armed. Here is another young man who, if he put all hk J forces against the regiment of youthful , temptations, in the streugth of God, might drive them back, but he is allowing them to be re-enforced by the whole army of midlife temptations, and j what but immortal defeat can await him? My hearer, this is the first sermon you have heard on the gospel of health, and it may be the last you will ever hear on that subject, and I charge you. in the name of God. and Christ, and j usefulness, and eternal destiny, take better care of your health. When some of you die, if your friends put on your tombstone a truthful epit&h. it will read. “Here lies the victim of late suppers," or it will be, “Behold what lobster salad 3t midnight will do for a man:” or it j will be. “Ten eigars a day closed unearthly existence:” or it will be. ' "Thought 1 could do at 70 what I did j at 20, and 1 am here;” or it will be. “Here is the consequence of sitting a half day with wet feet:” or it will be, | “This is where I have stacked mv har- j vest of wild oats:” or. instead ol j

No* One of the { mo.->t pathetic si'enes that I ever wit- , ness, and often see it, is that of men or | women converted in the fifties or six- j tie^ or seventies wanting to be useful, [ but they so served the world and j Satan in the earlier part of their life j that they have no physical energy left j for the service of God. They sacrificed nerves, muscles, lungs, heart and liver on the wrong altar.

DUN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW. Speculators Knjoj an Advance In Sou* Products, While Other* Reach Lorn Figure*—Present Conditions Only Tern, porary. Yet They Tend to Prevent Immediate Improvement In General Trade and Hinder Investment. New York, May 15.—R. G. Dun & Ox’s weekly review of trade to-day says: Speculators have enjoyed an advance in wheat, corn, cotton and some other products, though obliged to sell- wool and sugar at lower figures in order to realize. Stocks have advanced seven cents per $100 and trust stocks lost 38 cents, without enough demand to constitute a market. Imports of merchandise, $13,382,015 for the week for New York alone are 04 per cent, larger than a year ago, making the increase 47 per cent, for the past week, and have affected the exchange markets and helped further shipments of gold, which amount for the week to $2,750,000. but are prac- | tically balanced by receipts from the interior and cause noserious apprehen- ( sion of financial disturbance. Men i feel that present conditions are only temporary, although they tend to pre- I vent immediate improvement in gen- j eral trade and hinder immediate in- j vestments.

^ftegovernment reports estimate tne eptton acreage at six percent, less than last year, and this is considered encouraging', because so slight a decrease from the floods may easily be made up. Prices have ad anced an eighth on Liverpool specui ition, with nothing here to warrant tue rise. The winter wheat report, which is | supposed to indicate a yield of 297,000,- i OQO bushels, is contrasted with state | reports much better or much worse, j but is distrusted mainly because all de- j partment estimates of acreage fn»- years j have been wildly erroneous. Western ; receipts continue larger than last year, J 8,11*9.123 bushels, against 1.870,367 a j year ago, and Atlantic exports also in- j crease, for two weeks of May, amount- | ing to 3,106,909 bushels, flour included, j against 2,085,414 last year. Exports of ! eorn are still large, 5,506,055 bushels j for two weeks, against 3,004.131 last j year, and in part account for the - smaller demand for wheat. The output of pig iron for the week i ending May 1 was 170,528 tons, agaiust j 173,279 April 1 and the stock unsold, exclusive of those held by the great j steel-making companies, increased only j 8,803,000 tons. Several furnaces, j especially those producing foundry iron, have stopped production for the | month, but no important changes appear in pig iron, which is quoted at §>*.25 for gray forge and Pittsburgh, and $9.25 for Bessemer and §12 for No. 1 at New York, though only $10.25 is asked for southern. Reduced southern freights here have j not altered the market materially, and i at Chicago also the local prices have been reduced. The demand for finished produets is below the capacity of works in operation; the award of the contract for the Montreal bridge, which is said to be at 90 cents for beams and consumers, has occasioned trouble in the beam association apd there are reports that it has dissolved. Angles are quoted at 95 cents per 100 pounds, a shade lower, and steel plates are quoted lower here than at Philadelphia. Copper is active, with sales of lake at 10.35, and tin plates are quoted ten below prices fixed by the association and five cents below prices of some grades of foreign plates. Nothing new can be said of the cotton manufacture, which still laeks demand enough to lift prices of cloths from below the lowest point evei known. In general products prices are about moderate. Woolen goods are doing better than for weeks past, and yet there is not enough demand to ereate enthusiasm or to raise prices, while there is great uncertainty .regarding the future of the market. Sales of wool have sharply decreased. Failures for the week were 264 in the ; United States against 224 last year, and 31 in Canada against 33 last year.

SENSATIONAL, BUT FLIMSY. ! Remarkable Ground* Upon Which Theo- , (lore Durrant Seeks Pardon. San Francisco, May 15.—Theodore Durrant. through his attorneys, has | asked Gov. Rudd to pardon him on the I ground that the real murderer oi ! Blanche Lamont has at last confessed : his crime. The lawyers declare that they have j not been hoaxed, no^* is it their pur- ] pose to impose upon the executive, j They insist that in the person of John l Rosenberg, a convict at San Quentin ! prison, they have discovered the man who is guilty of the horrors of Emanuel church. John Rosenberg has made a sworn confession before a notary public, and in the presence of several witnesses, that he killed Blanche Lamum j at the instigation of a stranger, and j in consideration of the payment of j 5700 for his bloody work. It is with , this sensation that the attorneys ! strengthened their case at Sacramento, j The story and its details is one of the most remarkable that has developed in the long case. Rosenberg is a Russian sailor, and arrived in this eity on a sailing vessel from Hamburg. Germany, during the last week of March, 1865, or on the first day of April. He is now serving a term for horse stealing, and appears to be sane. LIEUT. FARROW NOT GUILTY. The Mutual Krwnc Fund Life Association Mulcted for CwU. Pittsburgh. Pa.. May 15.—Lieut Edward S.

A PainM Humor On the Ankle Spread to the Knee and Developed into Boila-Ne Trouble Since Taking Hood’s. “I was troubled with a disagreeable itching on one of my ankles. In time it developed into boils ot which I had fire or six at a time. The humor spread from my ankle to ray knee and was very painful. It baffled the skill of physicians. For weeks I could not bear my weight on this foot. An abscess formed and was lanced and the humor broke out on my other ankle and threatened to repeat my former experience. Hood's Sarsaparilla attracted my attention and I began taking it. In six weeks I was better, and began to hope for a permanent onre. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla six months and was entirely cured.

DOCTORS HAD GIVEN HER IT. A Convincing Letter Prom One of Mrs. Finkhaffl’s Admirers. . ' $ No woman can look fresh and fair who is suffering’ from displacement of the womb. It is ridiculous to suppose that such a difficulty can be cured by an artifical support like a pessary. Artificial supports make matters worse, for they take away all the chance of the ligaments recovering their vigor and tone. Use strengthens; the liga

ments hare a work to do. i,; If they grow flabby and refuse to hold the womb in f place, there is but one remedy, and that is to strengthen their fibres and draw the cords back into their normal condition, thus righting the position of the womb. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is designed ^ especially for this purpose, and. taken in connection with her Sanative Wash, applied locally, will tone up the uterine system, strengthening the cords or ligaments which hold up the womb. Wm Any woman who suspects that she has this trouble v —and she will know it by a dragging weight in the lower abdomen, irritability of the bladder and rectum, great fatigue in walking, and leueorrhaea — should promptly commence the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If the case is stubborn, write to Mrs. Pinkliam. Lynn.. Mass., stating freely all symptoms. You will receive a prompt letter of advice free of charge. All letters are read and answered by wo* men only. The following letter relates to an unusually severe ease of displacement of the womb, which was cured by the Pinkham. remedies. Surely it is convincing: “Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier cured me when the footers had given me np. I had spent /hundreds of dollars searching for a cure, but fouMl little or norelief until I began thejflnkham remedies. I had falling and displacement of the womb so badly that
