The Crisis.

What think you jrould be the result if the earth should stop spinning around the sunt Were yoa ever near a large and intricate mar fChlne whan one of its wheels became clogged or broken—near enough to bear the grating, jurring clash, the suduen, deafening crash! Astrouome* assure us that precisely similar effects, only on an inconceivably grander scale, wouhrhe produced if our earth—one of the wheels ki the universe-machine—should suddenly cease Its revolutions. In other irords, there would Ins a genera! clash and crash of satellites, plaigste and systems. What we term financial crises are due to similarcauses. One of the wheels In the finance-machine becomes clogged, perhaps shattered. The terilble Wall-street “crush" which follows is communicated to every part of the financial mechanism of the country. But analogies do not stop here. There is that other mechanism, the most intricate of al —sometimes called an organism because It generates its own forces—the human machine. When one of its members fails to perform Its ofllre, the whole system is thrown into disorder. Members before considered unassailable, brctfkdowii under the unnatural pressure. The skoftk comes, and utter prostration is tho result. Reparation can only be effected by the restortatlon of tho Impaired parts and the readjustment of its levers—the physical forces. There is one part of the machine more liable tpsdlsorder than any other—the liver—the great; balance-wheel of the machine. The liver being the gres t depurating or blood-cleansing organ of th* system, set it at work and the anil corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot out, Hfl It were, the machinery of lift, are gradually expelled from the system. For thia puQiQße Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, usttl dally, and Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pallets, taken in very small doses, are pre-eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor, from the worst scrofula to tlse coinnxm pimple, blotch or eruption. Great, eatJwg ulcere kindly heal under their might*- curat.ve influence. V indent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their persevering and somewhat protracted use the most taintea' systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents.
