I'pmi the stone was written #?r engraved, Blessed is he ic/ie shall turn em over." People who saw it prayed to God ear nestly, and desired He would make known to them the great meaning of this writing; th it they might not attempt in vain to turn it over. In the meantime there came a little child six or seven years old, ami turned it over without any help or assisancc to the admiration oi the people who stood by. And under this stone was found this letter written by Jesus Christ which was carried to tho city of Ic'-nium, and there published by a person belonging to the Cuba; and in (his letter was writtcu the command men is of .Jesus Christ, signed by the Angle Gabriel, twenty eight years, after our Saviour's birth.

That which pro toots from or prevents this dls Older must be of Immenso service In tho com munities where it prevails. Prevention is better than eure, for the patient escapes the risk which ho must run In violent nttneks of this baleful dis temper. This MCUBBM expels the miasmatic poison of Fkvkk am? Aouk from the system, and prevents tho development of the disease, it taken on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms. It Is not only tho best remedy ever yet discovered for Uils class of complaints, hut olso tho cheapest. Tho largo Quantity wo sup. ply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and In bilious districts, where Fkvkk AMD AOUB prevails, everybody should liavo it, and use It freely, both for cure and pro tection. It Is hoped this price will place It within tho roach of all ?tho poor as weil as the rich. A groat superiority or this remedy over any oUier over discovered for the speedy and certain euro of Intermittent!* is, that it contains no Qnb nine or mineral: consequently it produces no quinism or other Injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by It are left as healthy as If they had never had the disease. Fovor and Ague Is not alone tho eonsequeneo of tho miasmatic poison. A treat variety of dis orders arise from Ita irritation, among which aro Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Iloadacho, lllindness, Toothache. Earache, Catarrh. Asth ma, Palpitation, Painful AtTction of the Spleen, Hysterics, Fain in the Bowels, Colic. Paralysis, and derangement of tho Stomach, nil of which, when originating in this cause, put on the in termittent type, or become periodical. This "Cuiiu" expels the poison Crom the blood, and consequently euros thorn all alike. It is an In valuable protection to Immigrants and persona travelling ?r temporarily residing In tho mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or dally while exposed to tho infection, that will be ex CM-ted from the system, arid cannot accumulate In sufficient quantity to ripen Into disease Hence it is even morn valuable for protection Uian cure: and few wiVJ ever suffer from Inter mlttonts if thoy avail themselves of the protec tion Ulis remedy affords. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stim ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro ducing many truly romaraabio cures, whero Other uiediehies fail. mrr-Anr-D nT Dr. J.

Perhaps no ono medi cine is so universally required by every body as a eaUiartic, nor was over any be fore so universally adopted into use, In every country and among all classes, as this nuld but efficient purgative 1'ill. Tho obvious reason Is, Uiat it is a more relia ble and far more ef fectual remedy than any other. Thoso who have tried it, know that it cured them: those who havo not,know that It cures tholrneighbors and friends; and all know that what it docs cneo it does al ways ? that it never fails through any fault or neg Sleet of Its composition. We have thousands upon lousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of tho fallowing complaints, but such cures aro known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions In ail d?nnt?'1?; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coaling preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleisant to take, whilo being purely vegetable, no harm con ariso from Uieir nso in any rpinntity. They operate by their powerful influence on the Internal viscera to purify the blood and sthniilato it into healthy action?rcmovu tho obstruc?ons of tho stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of Uio body, restoring their Irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such do rangement-t as are the ilrst origin of disease.

For Isyspopata or Indigestion, ?.l?iii??*. neu, Lauitiiur and V.om? of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach, and restore its healthy tone ami action.

As a Dinner I'lll, take one or two Villa to ?promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it Is Often ad vantageous where no serious derangcinetu exists.
