Funny King*. ' ■ ■ fc* KIKG HEJCHY ,VXJ> THE MILLIB. V It has been ail the fashion with story■U.- tellers and ballad-makers to represent favorite King* as putting off various dlsguisel and playing clever, good-humored jokes on the humblest of their subjects. Nearly all of fob Xagliah Kings are so * represented, and there were no stories that the people loved better to tefbthsn j- these. They were the old, Christinas stories, told by the Y ide-1 og in the bleak, old days of the English batons,’when swords and helm'eU were thick and books were few. Thus we hate the tales of King Henry VIIL and the Miller of Dee; , : j. ©I good Duke Philip of Burgundy and Bly the Tinker; of James I. .and the ‘s ; of William til. and the Forester, *ffd so on all through the reigns of the Scottish James and English Georges. ■■ tfouteof these stories were fiction, like that of Old King Cols, .’ „ That jolly old sod!. But mpst of them were truc The wandering harpers used to relate them in verse; and as delightful as the bringing in of the'Yufc-log and the misUeto&Tth’e ' fiery sport of “ snap-dragon," or the rolX licking play of “blind man's tiufl " were the holiday tales of the funny doings of, these merry old English Kings.

ThkHe yro tbOe who fear that this country is getting so b# so Closely populated that it will not offer inducements to European, emigrants much longer.; It iiiay bq that the recent return of large .nuinlH-p of immigrants to Europe his impetus to these apprehensions. Those who cnlyrtaih , such forebodings can knpw nothing of the comparative poind it ion of lids and other countries Th-■ United -States has a population of not quite forty millions, and the whole continent south of us but forty two millions: Allowing three millions for Canada. here is a great continent with only eighty tire millions of inhabitants, while Europl, about'a fifth part of the sire of ■Aijnerifn and Asia, has over 271,000,000 Asia. 1 aving a somewhat larger terriforial arc* than eitiicr’of the other great division . of the earth, had a population in iB6O if 7M-4.MJOUO, or about 700,000.000 m|»re than America. The Chicago TriF unr in a iate number makes a comparison <>f the ‘ population' of various European countries with our own. .Thus the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, with ■> an area of about 21,600 square miles, con tain f<|rty-two cities with a population of 21.0U0 and Upward, their aggregate population being 8,012J00. “Os these cities twent r sik have a population of 50,000 and u ja’ard, the total belpg 7.469,000 and l|e average ted,SOO. Eor comparison take the New England Blates,. with New York and New Jersey These Stales, exceeding Britain and jielatsd in area by 4.000 square miles; contain only nine cities with a ]x>pulation of 2 J .000 and upward, the total being *2.7 td,300 Os these only ten .V' t>i>o inhabitants and up w ard, the total being 2.152.500 and the average 215.250, or less than half that of t|ic twenty.mx British cities If we include; all the tow ns and cities in NewEn ghknd.

Toi narrow the comparison, England pcqpbr, with an area of about 51;000 square miles, has no less than' twentyeight cities containing 21.000 inhabitants' and tipward, the total being 6,822,500, and Sixteen of these cities contain 50,000 inhabitants each and upward; the States of.New York and Massachusetts, with an area exceeding that ol England by ffBOO square miles, W only nineteen pities containing 21,000 inhabitants and (upward, the total be&g 2.260.500, and )>bly six of these cities contain 50,000 and upward each. ,To go one step further, England has 421 inhabitants to foe square mile, while New York and Massachu setts have only 106 to the square mile, or only about one-fourth its many. From these facts it is safe so conclude that we spll have room for more, even in foe ■Mt densely settled of our Slates. England, however, is not the most populated country in the world. *l|itUe Belgium, which is about the size oif the State of Maryland, has 442 fnhab i tan is to the square mile, or more than six times as many in all a* Maryland. With an equal density of population Illinois would contain no less than 24,401,000 inhabitant*, or more than Prussia. and nearly as many as England and Scotland combined; and foe United Stales, as deasvly settled, would contain a population of 1,600,000,000, or 800,000,000 o*>re than the entire population of the globe, at the present time. < -It is of course true that a large part of the territory comprised within the United States is incapable of supporting a dense populaiiiiu. There are great ranges of barren mountains and vast acres of arid plains. But, on tKe other hand, very little <>f the vast amount of land which is productive Is cultivated with foe care and thoroughness it is in Europe. It would not be nquch to say foal if all our arable soil were availed of as it is ta England, Belgium and <Jhcr European countries it wopld maki*«p for the ster ility of £uch plains and mountain ranges a» are barren. There is no danger of our crowding one another for a century to come, and a crowded population ia not always a blessing to the many,— A ■—""" 111 / — 1 i A Bargain ia Naples. Have you ever made a bargain in Naples? 1 have been eying light cashmere suits for three days past, and this morning made a purchase, foe nature of which I shall never cease to magvelat. An Italian friend having volunteered to assist at the ceremony, wintered a genHernan's furnishing, establbhrnent, the proprietor of which greeted us With ’ fraternal warmth. What would I have* Only command him and I would be served with the utmost 1 wanted a light snit, such as afallow might wear through a hot month and then throw out the window. Alq yes'ire had tire very article; and with that he roiled the clerk off from the counter, where he was sound asleep, and pulled down an avalanche of ready-made garments. They were not stylish, but they would do. I selected what seemed the least objectionable of the lot, and ap. proacbed that delicate subject, the price thereof. JBeppo beamed upon me; I don’t know what his name was, but it might easily have been Rgppo. Beppo Said: “ Only seventy francs for that complete and lovely outfit;" It struck me that foe price was reasonable, and I was about to •ettlb the bill when my friend plucked me by the ooat-sleeve with an expresston of horror, and exclaimed; “You must never pay foe price asked you-, make him an offer!" I wondered if he would feel in- , ■ ....... •.- -- ; -.-“ J

“ Offer foe fellow thirty,” said he. I offered thirty francs and expected to be stabbed on the sjtot. But no; Beppo thought it a cruel thing for so excellent a gentleman as myself to thus rob him pf “the finest suit of clothes in Naples at that figure.” He would take fifty francs and nothing less, at which announcement he did the clothes Up in a parcel. “Make it thirty-two francs and stick there!” This was the la»t utterance of the monitor at my elbow, and when I obeyed orders with the calm deliberation pf one who proposes to fight it ? out on that line poor Beppo burst, into tears and plead his cause. This was too much for a man with S laijge family and mean stomach; be ought, owing to the fact that he had secretly admired me ever since my arrival in Naples, make it forty francs ;• but friendship, unselfish and undying-friendship, alone prompted the generous act! With that announcement my friend took’me by the shoulder and walked me out of the establishment. We didn't go far; we tarried about the threshold for a moment, and I was once more seized and walked back again, while Beppo embraced me tenderly and cned with much emotion; “Take them for thirty five francs—take them; I am a ruined man, but I would not have you go out into the world naked and forlorn for the take of a few sous!" Feeling by this tim« that I was quite a brute 1 resolved to brass it out, and. therefore, put down my thirty-two /rancs, which Beppo received without a murmur. A tragedy in five acts could not have so worked upon my feelings as did.the picture of Beppo weeping in the midst of a numerous and starving family, and this picture haunted me as 1 left that unhappy spot. A moment later Beppo was al my side begging that I would allow him foe price of a glass wttj'e—only six sous! It was conscience money- and was freely given ; but as I turned the corner close at Hand Beppo was still watching me, and I saw then that there was a twinkle in his eye that seemed to say, “After all this shopping I have the best of you, my boy.” Os course the cloth is pasted together and the buttons put on with starch, but lime is fleeting and perhaps I shall rise hito cooler latitudes in season to save myself.— CAiries Warrtn Stoddard, in Nan Francitro Oi: > , A Curious Case. A gxsti.f.man from New York city, Mr. John Forsythe, a mineral explorer by occupation, is in jail.in Webster County, charged with the murder of Mr. Fhitreas Barton, of Philadelphia, in 4hose company ly visited Webster County over a month ago. .Mr. Forsythe’s version is that on the 13th of November last they both ascended Terror’s Peak, a high, dreary-looking knob eight or ten miles east of Addison, for the purpose of examining some curious meteoric stones which Were said to abound near and upon the summit, and that while up there they were overtaken by a violent meteor, ic shower, composed.of fiery missiles of various sizes, some of which exploded like a bomb-shell in their fall, and that Mr. Barton was killed by a blow on the temple, causing a sound not unlike that made by a pistol ball. Night interven ing. Mr. Forsythe watched over the corpse- of. his friend until the morning, when he returned to Addison for assistance There the people, suspecting foul play from certain- contradictory state menu, and the fact that Mr. Barton's valuables were found upon his person, arrested Mr. Forsythe, wfco was so ex. cited and distracted by all that hail hap pened to him within the last twenty-four hours that he could not find the place where he had abandoned the remains, which were accidentally discovered by a hunter on the following day. Mr. Forsythe appeals to scientific men of the country to extricate him from foe suspicion of a heinous crime by a thorough investigation of the catastrophe, and feels perfectly confident in the vindication of his( innocence. This is undoubtedly one of the most singular and mysterious cases of deatn we gver heard of, and hope that no pains may be spared to arrive at the •facts.— Parkertburg < H’. Fa.) Timet, Dec. 10. _ - “ Excase My Glove." t’ERTAt.N kinds of mistaken politeness,sincere as they are', are absurd, enough to be grotesque. A common mistake of this sort with aome persona, even in large cities, is to say, “Excuse ray .glove," when they offer their hand to a casu*£a£quaintance, or on introduction to a stranger, it might be interred from this remark that the wearing of gloves is extremely rare in a civilized community, or that the wearer wishes to advertise the extraordinary fact that he has gloves., AH he really desires is to. appear polite;« never suspecting for a moment that he is simply ridiculous. If you offer to shake bands with anyone in a place where ii js customary- to wear gloves you certainly need no excuse for compliance with the habit. You might, with equal reason, on receiving a visitor at your house, apologue to him for not removing your coat before bid ding him welcome. The superfluous phrase probably had it* ongin in foe days when glores were clnmsy A and used more for protection than as an essential of dres* Then the naked hand was thought to be an evi. denceof good-will and cordiality. Since glove* h»ve been universally adopted the ide* of asking pardon for wearing them i* an' anachronism as well a* an impropriety. Glove* are no,w made to fit exactly, 3 so that, were jt courtesy to take them off jfn encountering one’* friends or ac4u*iatances,' an amount of time and trouble would be required which would inevitably render a greeting at once a comical exhibition and a bore.— MoMDdy. 7 Whipping Cbildrea.

Euzabkth Oaxbs Smith write* a* follows on the chastising of children: If a man ha* a fine animal of any kind, he i* careful in hi* training of it—careful that, neither by neglect, harshness, nor blow*, it* symmetry be impaired, it* nerves shocked, or its stubbornness excited, and the creature thus be irretrievably given over to ineradically vicious habits—and yet, hi* child, who should be precious as I the apple of his eye; his child, the jiiheritor of his nama—the inheritor, rjeo, of what is best or worst in himaelf—an epi tom* of thq universe, an ineipient Plato, Shakespeare or Milton, it may bn; with nerv«* se delicately organized that there are a thousand possibilities of what may disturb his moral or intellectual wett-being; b not so wen cared for, nor so tenderly cherished, a* the young colt in hb paddock. “Woe unto him who shall cause one or xnese nixie ones so ouenai aaia u>e

in the presence of a child—its white tablet, open to all impressions, and so soon to be filled with undying records; the weird questionings; its unearthly intuitions; its intimations of something latent and invisible; its cradle-smiles; its quick-coming tears; the half-remembered vistas of the other spheres where— Trailing cloud* of glory do we coma From God, Who is oar home. How any human being can take such a one and wrench him in the whirlwind of his wrath, or, with deliberate intent, scourge his white limbs in the expectation of infusing moral ideas through the integuments of the skin, irto me incomprehensible. The rush, the jar, the whole .category of discords is enough to mar the fine, delicate organisms forever. I remember, when I was a child of nine, I was present in a school where the master attempted to “flog" an unruly boy, who turned upon the teacher, and whit was to me a fearful contest ensued. How it terminated I never knew, for I was hurried'home in what seemed a dead and it was long before my nerve* rallied from the shock. Here was an injury indicted, not only upon the delinquent, but upon a little community of outraged and terrified children. A child is either rendered callous and brutal by blows, or his self-respect becomes impaired and be grows up without honor or manliness. I believe our families and schools can be managed without the rod. The very young child may, if sullenly obstinate in character, need a slap to teach it that there is a wholesome law twhlch it must obey; but this should be administered while a child in arms, not old enough for reasoning. In the schoolroom, if the whole system of corporeal punishment and monitorial surveillance were done away with, and the childftn put upon their honor, taught the love of order and the courtesies and amenities which should characterize all intercourse. there would be far less Cause for complaint of misbehavior on the part of the young; but this presupposes "that parent and teacher have perfect self-con-trol and a natural insight and sympathy for the child. It will, be said that Solution, the wise man. warmly recommends the use of the rod; but, it must be borne in mind that Solomon, in the proverbs, is very worldly wise, and some of his sayings are probably the collected aphorisms long current among a prudent people. I have seen a child whose soul was up in arms at a blow; he developed a fear- . ful hatred and rage, and I could not but I think there were the elements of the hero in him—a Spartan tumult of being. ■ 1 judge that, out of such material, wisely respected, grew the wonderful 300 who stood shoulder to shoulder in the noblest battle the world has known—that of Thermopyla. Our modern system of education is defective in many, ways, and greatly in this, that we have not unlearned the brutality of the past ages. The child is stilly purged when it is the parent or teacher that most deserves it. The child of to-day feels that he is subjected to unjust or ignominious punishment, more by instinct than reason, as is evinced by the many sad and deplorable suicides by mere children after having been cruelly treated. And, again, such is the modern rage for cramming the child’s head with book-knowledge that the moral nature, the manful nature, is neglected. The first years of a child's life should be little trammeled by the study of books; it is the seed-time for the soul; it is the period for training a man, for inuring him to the practice of those , hardy sports, those sturdy virtues, those high moral perceptions that in after-life j shall yield the fruitage of a solid manliI ness: aa unflinching, honest, honorable ■ manhood. Keep Cattle in the Barnyard. 4 . We read and hear a great deal about i the importance of manure on the farm I and of the immense outlay which the purchase of commercial fertilizers iri- | volves. And if we did not know the ; habits of farmers in this respect we should suppose they would use all avail’ able means to manufacture and also to I save manure on their farms. But while i we are glad to note an increasing interest , in this direction, we aft sorry that, so ' many men neglect some of the easiest and simplest means for attaining this result. At this season of the year we I see a great many cattle rooming around ; the fields, scattering and, in a great meaai ure, wasting their manure. In allowing this their owners are certainly guilty of neglecting a very important item in farm management. They may claim, as some | do, that the manure is not wasted; that f the cattle distribute it- over the fields ' where they feed, and thus the labor of , men in spreading it is not required. In this they claim to get • the work done | without any expense. But such an idea ; cannot be held by men who give much i thought to their farm work. For it can be seen at a glance that, although the manure is spread oveY the fields, it is done in a most wasteful manner. It is not left where it is wanted. There Is a little Scattered almost everywhere on tfie farm, but there is not edough in any place to do much good, and what little there is left in a place is not m any condition to be used as food for plants. Before it can be made available for this purpose it must be pulverized; and to go all over the farm with B hoe and break it in pieces, as ought to be done every spring, if cattie are left in the fields the preceding autumn, makes considerable work. The manure will not be worth more than half as much as it would if kept at the barn during the winter, and applied in the spring. Besides, if cattle are kept in barns, sheds or yards, the manure can all be saved, carted out and put where it is needed. It is also very much better for the cows to be kept in yards than it is to be running all over the fields. They will get better water and get it when they need it, if the fanner pays any decent attention to his business. When they run at large they will not always get water when they ought to have it; if it is some distance from the bant they will not go to it more than twice a day in very cold weather, and sometimes not but once. They tben.drink too much at a time, get dulled, and are made uncomfortable. But if ih the yard where they can get . water at any time of the day they will drink but little at a time and get it as it is wanted. This ia very much better for them than A? to^ drink a great deal of cold water at will not be an likely to take cold or tn contract diseases of the stomach or lungs? Cows will give more and better milk if they are kept in the yard ia cold weather than they will to be roaming around and vainly trying to satisfy hunger by eating the spoiled and frost-fotten gram, which is all the food they can find In the lota. All things considered, it wUI pay well to keep cattle in the yard ! during cold wftatltcr IV

j HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Sausage.—Good sausage can be made better by mixing, thoroughly, one teacup Indian meal to four pounds sausage. Mix only enough to last four or five days at a time, as it might sour.— Rural Sew Yorker. ■ n ■ Johnny Cake.—Take a pint each of buttermilk and sweet milk, one heaping teaspoonful of saleratus, a half cup of sug>t. one egg and a little salt. Stir in meal* until thick, but allow it to pour readily. Butter your pans plentifully and bake brown. This with a dish, of Winn apple sauce, makes a delicious breakfast. Sliced Mutton or Beef, on Blazer. —Slices of cold mutton or beef, currant jelly;'butter, salt, pepper. Drop a piece of butter into the blazer. When the butter is melted, stir in some currant Jelly, pepper and salt. Then lay in the cold meat. After it has cooked a moment on one side turn it, and cover the blazer for a few moments. Graham Pancakes.—lnto three pints of water stir about a quart of Graham flour, pm a half teaspoonful of salt and three spoonfuls of hop yeast. Set in a warm place over night. In the morning add a small teaspoon of saleratus and bake on a griddle. Better than buckwheat. To Cure Warts.—Bind .on freshly powdered blood root, moistened wiHi ▼inpgar; change frequently. Will sometimes cure in two days. I think I have heard of spirits of ammonia being used for the same purpose—the warts to be wet with it twice a day 4 for three weeks, if they had not all' disappeared before that time. — Cor. Rural Yorker. ■ Mock Duck.—A steak from the rump of beef, one slice of bread, onions, sage, sweet marjoram, pepper, salt. Cover the steak with a dressing made of the chopped bread, pOrk, onions, marjoram, »a|e. pepper and salt. Roll the meat : and tie it. Put tome of the dressing on top of it and put some pork, on the dressing.- Place this in a pan in which, is Jone pint of water; cover tight. Let it cook slowly in the oven for three bourse then take off the lid, brown quickly and serve hot. Egg Blanc Mange.—Take two-thirds of a box of gelatine, one quart and one gill of milk, one cup of sugar, six eggs, salt, vanilla. Put the; gelatine into a quart of milk. Set it oh the back of the stove to dissolve the gelatine; then add the sugar. While the milk is heating beat the yolks of the eggs until they are . very light; then add the gill of milk to them,, and when the milk is scalding hbt put them in. Stir constantly one way until it is done, Which will be in a few moments. If it remains on the fire tpolongit will curdle. About two minutes will be Sufficient to scald it. Take from the tire; continue to stir it gently Until it is quite cool; then raise a mold, and strain the mixture into it. Put it on ice. To be eaten with cream. To Pickle a Tongue.—Rub it well with salt, and let it lie four or five hours; pour off the fotil brine; take two ounces of saltpeter beaten fine and rub it all over the tongues; then mix a quarter of a pound of brown sugar and an ounce of scntprunella (the bay salt and saltprunella beaten very fine), and rub it well over the tongue; let it lie in thia pickle two or three days: make a brine of a gallon of water with common salt, strong enough to bear an egg, half a'pound yf brown sugar, two ounces of saltpeter and a quarter of a pound of bay salt; boil it a quarter of ,an hour, scum it well; when cold put in the tongue; let in lie in this pickle a fortnight or three weeks, turning it every day; either boil out of the pickle or hang it in a wood smoke to dry- ’ ■ Farm Ladders. There ia probably nothing thatjf an bje found more useful about*farm buildings of every description than from three to half a dozen good ladders. If the dwell-ing-house chimney takes fire, one should always be handy on that account. If shingles are loose or ofl, high stable or barn doors dislocated from broken or damaged hingOs, boards loosened and flapping about with the wind, the ladder is indispensable. One may answer all purposes outside, provided it is long enough, but in case of tire, for the time lost it from one place to another may prove sufficient to ruin the burning building or whatever it is—so that it is always best to have a number, and have them handy when required. Now no farmer need be without an assortment of ladders. It is not at all necessary to have a carpenter make them and charge a good profit on his labor. Every man may be own carpenter here. Indeed we have seen specimens of home-made ladders much bettel . than anything turned out of regularshops. One grand mistake that nearly everyone has fallen into in constructing this article is to hare the sides taper from bottom to top. The weight on a ladder, be it remembered, always bears heaviest on the middle, hence the middle should be the stoutest part- and the taper should take place from the central point toward both ends. The medus operand* for constructing a good ladder is therefore as follows: Get a good, long pole of elm, or whatever other wood you may think better—from six to eight inches in diameter at the butt, and from three to four at the top, and, whilst it is yet green, lay it along the barn or stable floor, and by means of pins stuck in the floor bring it to a straight position. Leave it thus until it is thoroughly seasoned, when it will remain straight. Next find the central point, and, ‘ beginning .at it, taper your pole off toward both ends so that it will measure about six inches in- the center and say three or four at each end! Take, then, a good ripsaw and rip the pole from end to end; you will thushav| the two sides of your ladder. Next take them and lay them together, flat sides uppermost; mark one of them ofi jnto spaces fourteen inches apart, lay a straight edge across both and mark the second to correspond with "the first. Take, say, an inch-and-a-half augur then and bore holes through them both as marked out. And now for your rounds. They also must be tapered from the center both ways, and. as for length, if the ladder is to be twenty or more feet in length set the bottom round be from thirty to thir-ty-six inches, and • the top one from eighteen to twenty. Haying got them all ready, drive them tightly into one aide of your ladder—all of them; "Wedge them tightly from the rounded side and then insert the other ends into their corresponding places on the other side and complete the rounding process. Smooth off the ends on both sides and cover all with a good coat of paint. Be particular about the paint if you desire an enduring article. It prevents the absorption of moisture which would soon rot t|e ends of the rouitd*. Qo a pre-

cisely similar plan, but with a jointed support behind, can, step-ladders be made for the purpose of fruit gathering and also for in-door uses where a long ladder would be impracticable. Let the plan here suggested only be followed, and we venture to say that after one or two trials no farmer wilt give out his ladders to be made, but will manufacture them himself.— Canada firmer. Two Introductions Necessary. A Nashville (Tenn.) paper describes a little incident thus: “ One of Nashville’s brightest and most sensible young ladies was busily engaged a few mornings since in making a cake. She donned a calico dress and pinned a flaming red shawl about her shoulders, fastened her heavy brown hair in a coil on the top of her head, and had just plunged her hands into the dough when the door-bell fang. She happened to be the only one in the house at the time, and so was forced to answer the bell herself, which she did ■after hastily washing her hands, and was horrified at discovering her visitor to be a spruce young gentleman friend and three stranger gentlemen. An embarrassing introduction took place, the visitors were seated in the parlor, and then the young lady exposed herself, to reappear in a few moments in a costume better suited to the' parlor. During her she made such a complete transformation in her appearance that she was mortified at finding her stranger visitors did not recognize her, thus rendering a second introduction necessary, ‘which ceremony the Nashville young man performed by saying: ‘She is the saffie young lady we met at the door, gentlemen—the very same young lady.’ ” —A man called upon a lawyer the other day and began to state his case in a rather abrupt manner. “ Sir. 1 have come to you for advice; I’m a husband-in-law.”' “A whatt* spoke out the teamed counsel; “ Husband-in-law, sir!” “ I have never seen that defined in domestic relations.” “:Don’t you know what a husband-in laWTs’ Sir, you're no lawyer; you’re an ignoramus!—l am a husband-in-hiw, but not in fact, sir—my wife's run off." , Plano* and Organ*. - Fine new rosewood pianos for <3OO.

It is a case of cousinship. No Uncertain Sound.—When *. man discovers a great truth it is his duty to proclaim it to his fellow-man. The use of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar BiTTEiis cannot be too strongly recommended to the invalid public. To those who have tried it nothing need be said—their experience is their proof, pure and positive as Holy Writ. ,To those who have not tiled it these truths cannot be tdb often repeated. It is a certain vegetable specific whi.ch aids faltering nature against the triumphs of dyspepsia, bilious disorders of every kind, malarious fevers, Constipation of the bowels, liver complaint, Spring and Fall debility, etc., etc. It costs but little and can always be at hand. It is the poor man’s friend. It saves a doctor’s bill and the time lost in riding five, ten or twenty miles after him; besides being free from all the poisonous medicaments of the pharmacopeia. It will not stimulate you to-day-to leave .you weaker to-morrow. Its benefits are permanent. \ ■ 16 The Road to Health. Cleanse the stomach, bowels and blood from all the acrid, corrupt and offensive accumulations which produce functional derangement, and you remove the cause of most diseases which afflict the human family, and thus save large doctors? bills. The most effectual and reliable remedy for this purpose is found In Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Peih ts. No cheap wood or paper boxes, but kept fresh and reliable in vials.
