Thc two brotherr clasped band? in tiiat strenuous grasp which, with Anglo-Saxon men, expresses KO much, and gazed into each other'? faces with eye? that were slightly misted. Fivo years lind passed since tn cy last saw each other, aud many arc the changes which can be wrought during that length of limo on human faces, us welt as in human lives. Col onel Philip Thureton, of tho Egyptian army, bad grown many'shades darker, and somewhat older in appearance, since, liku Childe Harold, he bode his native land good-night, anti sailed away to* tbc climes of tho sun ; whilo Bertie Egerton, whom be left a gay stripling, with tho world all before him-a world i<?ady enough to show ita most attractive Bide to one so sunny in nature, so charming in manner, so libr: jtiy endowed with tho good things of fortune-had undergone a deeper change. The bright boy whom Thurston well remembered, bad vanished forever, and left in his place a man w:f .< u somewhat worn and almost reckless ex pression on his handsome face, when the light of cordial gludness died out of it. Of this change, Thurston, however. WILS too wiso to Speak. Thc bro th ors hat! met on tho deck of nu ocean-steamer, and there were a hundred things to say questions to ask and answer-while they entered a carriage and were driven to Egerton's hotel. It was nut until after dinner that anything like confidential conversation took place. Then, an they were smoking together, with the Hummer twilight dying away over tho city roofs and Bpires; Egerton said, in n studiedly careless voice: "If you lind delayed your coming u little longer, Phil, you would nut have found me on this sido of tho Atlantic. I lind mado nil my arrunge menta to go abroad when I received your letter." "Indeed!" said Thurston. "Whcro did you think of going ?" "?b, X don't know," replied tho other, indifferently. "To Europe for tho sum mer. I suppose. In thu autumn I meant to turn eastward, and pay you n visit. Egypt must be a pleasant couptry to live ?11, I think. If I pitched niy tent tliw.-o wo might have ti comfortable time-you could drill, and mureil, und counter march, to your heart's content, while I reclined limier a palm-tree, or floated on the Nih. " "So that is your idea of life in Egypt, is it ?" said Thurston, with n laugh. " J t is A good enough country for mc-a sol dier by nature nnd profession, with no fortune besido my ?word-but it would not suit you. Thc novelty of everything might amuse you for a time, but I should bo sorry for you to think of pitching your tent tbero permanently." "As well there as anywhere else," said Egerton, with a shadow of gloom falling over his face. "Novelty is what I. want. I nm tired to death of tho life ? know-I might forget myself, perhaps, in on'pthat I didn't know. I have felt lately us FT I should Uko to escapo from tho tumult and fret of modern civilization, to tho ancient and unchangeable East." Thurston took bis cigar from bis lip:., and knocked tho feathery ashes ott | agni 11 MI tho ?edge of the open window by which they sat, before ho said : "Tbero ls not a great deal of tho un-jl changeable East to bo found in Egypt now-unless you go to Thebes, which' ia not at tho present time a cheerful place ot residence, whatever it may hnvo 'been three thousand years ago. Cairo, under tho new regime, luis quito aa much 'tumult and Irct' in it as any city of Eu rope. But this disgust of modern civili sation is altogether now with you - what has caused it?" "Satiety, I suppose," Egerton replied, looking at tho young moon os it hung, a Boldon boat, in tho pearly sky. "? be eve tbero is no doubt but that if a mnn wero restricted to a diet of ortolans and champagne, ho would tire of them after a vylulc. For five years I. havo run through every fi,ru* of social -dlaulpation, and been ?ufiiciently courted and amused. But it baa palled at last. I nm tired of j tho frivolity that has mado tho sum of j my lifo I I am sick of dancing and flirt ing, of clubs aud.drawing rooms.. If f db not go away and turi? idler or savage for n time, I think I shall blow out my brains I" Ho" had forgotten himself, and in thc last sentenco there was so much passion ate earnestness-on tho outlines of tho j handsome face such a deepening reckless ness-that Thurston was fairly startled. Yet what could he say ? .Tho malady was plain enough, but it must needs bo a skillful physician who can minister to a I mind or spirit deceased. So, for tv min ute, there was silence. Carriages wero roiling below, pedestrians passing, iamps gleaming through the deepening dusk ; a child's laugh floated up together with a red balloon : some diatanco down the street a band of musicians were playing. On this medley of sound Thurston's voice broke. "If tho necessity for chango of sceno is ?o urgent," he said, witli a tolerably suc cessful attempt at lightness of tone, "vori must not let me d?tala yon in America. So long os I am with you. it does not matter whore my furlough is spentj After I have transacted & little necessary business, ? ain jruuuy tu ??COQlp?iiy y OU to Paris or Stamboul." "Nay, i am not quito BO scrSsh a dog as that," said Egerton, with a smile-but Thurston uoticsd that his lip trembled uudor the silky-brown mustache. "It ought to be enough for mo to bo with you," ho wont on, "without dragging you over thc ocean again? when you nave just mad. a long journey to seo your homo anti your friends. You'll be patient jjfrith mo, I kuow. I'm not quite myself in all respects, but with regard to you"-and his hana foll on hts brother's shoulder -"I havo net changedjOdM iota." "Do you think I doubt that?" asked Thurston. "Do you think I could doubt it under any circumstances? "Wo bave not been like ordinary brothers,. Bertie, at any period of our lives-you know that as well as I do." 'Th?Qfc God, no bit? remesa has over como ?olwvcu us-nor eyer will, I think! Of course, I saw, ns soon aa I looked at your face, that some change had passed over-you; but you must understand that I do not ask tho cause of it.

Do you hnow what the word means, Phil T Very likely not. I never knew what it meant until I met her : but, compared to what I felt for her, every feeling that I had over known for any other WOUIAU was like water unto wino ten times told. I was warned from tho first that she was a cruel coquette, and would throw a man's heart ?way like a useless toy when she was dune with it ; but such warnings were leas to me than the idlest wind. To bo with her was sufficient ; to hear her voice, to touch her hand, to look into her eyes -such eves, Phil I I have never seen uny others of thc same tint ; and as for ex pression-sometimes I think that they t-~.. - tk.i *i. ...

Whcu I grew too earnest to amuse lier any longer, she turned to ice and bude me go. I wearied her, alie said, coldly ; she had I nothing to give mo ; she fancied that I had understood that flirtation was only flirtation ; if I had made a mistake it was not her fault. And so all ended ! - Well, no doubt you think mo weak to suffer such a woman to rob life of all saver for me. But most women who play this gamo arc bunglers more or less, while Agatha Loring la an export. When ?hu is dons with a man, he is fit for nothing but to go to tho devil as fast as may be. ."And do you think such a woman worth going to thc devil for?" asked Thurston, with indignation. "Why can you not put her out of your heart through scorn? Great Heaven ! if I loved her hotter than my life, and she showed her self in such colors, it would bc enough. I should thrust her aside, and go my way aa if abo did not exist." "Your theories would fall away like cobwebs if Agatha Loring once laid her apell on you," said Ejjerton. "I know I am a fool, but the is a sorceress. No ordinary woman could fill u man's life with tho consciousness of her and the need of her, and then wreck it us she does. When abo acnt mo away, J waa Uko a wretch hurled in ono moment out of heaven into hell ! I do not under stand yet how I fui lcd to blow out my brains, unless it was that I shrank from hoing tho subject of n three days' talk. I did not cvon think of you, Phil-con sider that !" "My poor boy !" said Thurston. In voluntarily he roso und put his arm across trie young man'? shoulders in their old, boyish fashion. More ho could not say. Iiis heart was hot as hu thought of the woman who had wrought such work through cruelty or c?prico, but he kn wv that to apeak of her as silo deserved would for the present avail nothing. Egerton, on hia part, was touched by this sympathy. "Youarc exactly what yoii u?wuy/i were, F?i??,*' ur, oniu. grate fully. "Dear old fellow ! ic would bea dark day, iodced, when any estrange ment carno -between us-but we need not Hpoak of Bitch a thing-; it will nuvcr.be. Aud yon must not think that I mean to "Doro you with my folly. I have told my story aud I um done. Now let us discuss your planai Whore do you moan to go? All our relations are cager to seo you, and welcome yon I to their hospitable roofs. (That's the correct phraso, I be lieve.) People are nmuzingly hospitable, you know, when thoy are only caned upon to appreciate success. I havo press ing invitations for you from all uncles, and aunts, ?nd cousins to thc tenth de gree." "Not ouo of whom I care to meet," aaid Thurston. "Apart from my desiro to you. 2 have chiefly como ic America to rec:uit my health-which ia a littlo enervated by five years In Egypt -and to attond lo somo business con cerning which there is co haste. There fore, iu order to accomplish the first two objects, I proposo that we abai! turn our faces toward tho old homo of our boy hood. Let us go to Beechwood. I should like to ride through tho woods and ash in the river again, i used to think, in tho East, that ono whiff of the pine-odor.; would bo- better thnn the fragrance of Araby the Blest." "I havo not been thero for years," said Egerton. "My agent attends to tho busi ness. The plantation is rented out, you know, but tho house is unoccupied, and if you desire we can go there. All places are alike to mo. WV will go to-morrow, if you like,''. Bo they started tho next day, for Thurston perceived more and more clear ly that hts brother's caso' waa one de manding prompt treatment of somo kind. The Beechwood idea had come to him like an inspiration, and os an inspiration ho acted upon it. To tako Egerton away from all associations which intensified his pain, to break tho chain or later habit, and recall tho fresh, simple pleas ures of earlier years, was what he wished to do, and ho felt sanguine that the rc I.cult would be all that LQ d*?irod; This impression lasted for a few days a?i?f iuoy had taken up their abode at Beechwood--ono of those old Southern houses around which, even whon desert ed, still seems to linger the charm of the hospitable existence they once enshrined -but il did not last more than a few tdays. It was soon apparent thafcEger? ton's malady was beyond tho reach of auch remedies os this. Aa Thurston watched him, he realized how deeply tho poisoned shaft had struck. Tho spriug of all joyousuf^a. and, hope seemed broken with tho young man. He exerted him self to appear cheerful, he made an effort to feign interest In the old pursuits, but bis brother's eyes-rendered by affection almost aa keen os those of a woman's saw through the pretense readily, saw tho deadly indifference, the apathy born Ol. pnitl, lim nsu?ic??uw?? ?uai> m w?iv? was almost fierce. Nevertheless, ho still honed that thia acute stage of tho discaso might pass, and coalescence Bot in. But ?daya length ened into weeks; and. after a month had elapsed, he acknowledged to himself that such an expectation waa fruitless. In deed, Egerton had of late seemed to grow worse instead of better. Ho '-as at times intensely irritable, and again depressed h^v^r^jiil power of ^oncealment. ^ Iii would spend ?our? alono, with out "any occupation. Thurston uttered no remon strance, but ho observed closely, and. having drawn his conclusions, formed them into a resolution, j The time for expressing this carno one ?.??ril?g wh^n tho' 'Julv 4wiM??ht hart ! faded into tight,aud at??i Etort?n, whf had gone out oa tho river,'did not re turn.

"Light n cigar, then, und join mein my promenade. ! have one or two things to say." To this Egerton made no demur. The cigar was lighted, and, as they welted back and forth over the grassy slope, Thurston said : "I sec plainly that this lifo doc* not suit you. Despite all your efforts, you are restless and wretched ; therefore, as I projioaed to come, let inc propose to go. There ja nothing to detain us herc. I am ready to start to-morror to go any where you like." "You arc very kind, Phil," replied Egerton, after a moment's puuae, ''and you have borne with my mooda better than I deserve ; but, when you talk of alarting to go anywhere I like, you make a mistake. There ia nowhere I like. Thia pince does not auit mc. but I do not know any other which would suit me bet ter. Tho fault is in myself, not in my surroundings. Hut I have felt for aomo time past," he went on, "that I nm no fit companion for any one in my present condition.

"You must du exactly aa you wial without reference to me," ho said. " told you that some time ago. Where d you think of going-abroad ?" "Yea," Egerton replied. "I am sic; of America.

(TO UK CONTINUED.I Two Stories. A Massachusetts gentleman, jual ri turned from over the Canadian horde tells us these stories. He waa in thu hi tel general accommodation room whe two votera ns of thc hotel bar, layir schemes for a drink, began to tell atom to cacii other for his benefit : "These are awful hard times," said on "I never saw such times before, cxce| when I was in Ohio, an' thou 1 waa hm put to it to git ulong.

Story number two was the other Mu chauacn'8 companion-piece for the yo of Btecrs : "When I was a choppin'-I could ch soiiio you know-an' folks used to nsk i how much I could do in a day.

Tho keeper of a certain bonrdi house, when Andrew Jackson was Pr dent, waited on him, one day, and ci plained that a Tennesseean, who ! been appointed by bim to a clerksbir ono of the departments, would not pu board bill. "Get his note," said old Hickory, ' tho fuli amount, interest included, pr bio in sixty days, and bring it to me.' "That will be of no use," replied boarding-house keeper, "for ho ni pays his notes."

Music. looney is sweet, oed in ancient times it was highly esteemed. Virgil called it "donum cadette." Vvxto critus recommended it to uti who would live. On OIK occasion a man was pre sented to thc Emperor Augustus, who arked him how it was that he obtained such an old agc. He answered, "Tutu* inrite CJ?M cleo." As honey in strength ening to the body and sweet to the taste, so is music strengthening Ul thc soul and sweet to tl e ear. What a beautiful song ia "Good Night," which runs: " 'Tis time t?> go," I .?aid, and you You kissed mc twice upon the cheek ; No? tell me, love, do dreams come true? Most nrchly did my darling -moak : "Why some come true mid Mime do not ; Dreams like this do, I quite believe;" And then idie kissed me twice, and got Her waist entangled in my sleeve. And thc beautiful ballad: When wc are parted let me ii" lu some fond corner of thy heart, .Silent, and from the world apart, Like a forgotten melody ; Forgotten by the world beside, Cherished by one and one alone, For ?onie lolled memory of ?is own. So let me in thy heart abide. Yes, such are the fancies which crowd one's mind while bc listens to thc beauti ful music at fillmore's Garden. As a summer resort Gilmore's is now the favorite place. It is now open for the season, and ls far more attractive than heretofore. It is completely transformed and re-arranged throughout the entire building, (the old hippodrome.) Thc walks ure moro spacious, ^larding ample room for the immense crowd which at tends every evening to enjoy thc superb music of Gilmore'? Military Band. This garden is truly til*) only respectable sum mer retreat in the city, except the Park. Without doubt it is thc most magnificent place of public entertainment in the world. Tile decorations are all now, and of the richest designs, consisting of na tional flags and coat of arms of each State in the Union, surrounded by stars and stripes. Thousands of different col ored lights are arched across thc dome, and lovely fountains of cold water dash ing their spray hither and thither, and tine statuary, and an enormous stage in the centre, tastily adorn the Garden. Everything is gotten up on an exten sive and elaborate plan. No time has been spared in gathering together the most expensive planta, trees, flowers and shrubs that could be found in all parts ol thc world. The statuary aud fountains arc scattered among thc soft palms and rarest exotics. Tho "Grand Cascade," villi its mountain of falling waters, add? ^.brilliancy to tho charming ?cone, where ^millions of vari-colorcd lights and calci ums illuminate the enchanting rpectaclc of unexampled beauty, and bring out all tho glories of u grand panorama. Gilmore'? great Military Hand, wliicl has been proclaimed the finest in thii country, has bceu making extraordinary efforts, tbiough a tedious scries of rehear sal?, in preparing their "rej>etaire" foi this season which, from tho difficulty ant variety of thc music to be produced cannot tail to win tao appreciation am approval of all lovers of music. It is Mr Gilmore'? intention to attend the np proaching Paris Exposition with thc en tire band, where they hope to bc able t< carry away tho first prize ns the ronrc acntative band of America. The fol lowing will give your readers some fain conception of tho extent of thin militar organization : Thc favorite soloists ar Mr. Arbuckle (fernst: E. A. Lefebn Sarnphono; F. Lets"h, Trombone, an (?ureph Ellcr, Oboe; Signor do Carlt Piccolo; Kuro Xegel, Clarionet; B. I Bent, Cornet, and Signor Oiccone, Ciar onct. All of the above aro tho best sol performers in tho profession. Beside thc soloes we have tho quartet of flute quartet of oboes, quartet of Saraphone quartet of corneta, quartet of Frene horns, quartet of hambones, quartet < bassoons, quartet of tubas. No oth< organization, it is said, is able to pcrfori auch a variety of music.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Minaret* We call especial nttcntiun of our farmer readers lo Un second paragraph under our caption in another column-Chips. We have simplified this selection from Prof. Ville'? little book by reducing his "Hectares" to acres, aud his "Kilo* grammes" Lo pounds. It will be thc im mediate conclusion of mr^t of our readers that this is very heavy manuring, and costs to much for lands that are not worth in market half ibo prico of thc manure to be annually applied. Tiny may bo so, perhaps is so, but then cadi farmer can reduce the quantity recom mended of each ingredient to suit tho capacity of his soil. There is ono idea in II'IH formula that docs not exactly agree with our expe rience. Prof Ville suggests a cheaper manure fur barley than for wheat, and the same for oats and rye that he does for Barley. Our experience is ilia-, land can bo stimulated by commercial fertili zers or oy mauurcs lo such nu extent as to make tho wheat crop overdo itself, and therefore fail to remunerate by producing a greater proportion of straw than grain, and no such result Inn ever occurred with us in manuring barley. Thc heavier manuring the better thc barley crop. Wo once saw 06 bushels of wheat taken from a single acre in Fairfield County. Wo never have grown over 35 bushels on a single acre. We have frequently grown GO bushel* of barley on an acre, and have averaged over 25 per acre on ten acre?. And similar treatment of similar laud would not yield us an average of over lt) bushels of wheat. Our experience, too, with oats and ryo would not suggest that they and barley should bo treated exactly alike or bc classified together as Professor Ville sug gests. Wo have known seventy bushels of oats grown upon a single nero in Ab beville County, and wc have even found that on manured upland oats will pro portion to thc manure applied. Land so manured that it would produce fifteen bushels of wheat, would, under tho samo circumstances, prod nee about twenty bushels of barley or over forty bushels of oats. As to rye, wc scarcely know what to say. Every farmer knows that "rye will grow as high as the fence that encloses it," bc tho laud rich or poor ; but wheth er tho application of caustic fertilizers would increase thc yield in equal propor tion lo the increase in other grains, we aro unable, to say. Wo once sowed one third of au acre", that had beeu heavily cow penned, in rye, and harvested nine bushels of excellent grain. Tho same land under the samo circumstances would bavo nreduced 'irebabl'* eighteen bushels of barley, twenty bushels of oats and as much wheat as rye. We give these in stances of our experience, and venture our judgment upon the comparative re sults of the same laud in different grain crops, eo as to advise our renders, that however perfect agricultv 1 chemistry may bc in fermentation a pt.Tectmanure for any crop, there is much behind these simple prescriptions that must bc reck oned in tho calculation beforo the results can bc anticipated with unerring certain ty. The preparation and productivo rapacity of the soil, tho climate and sea sons, tho time of attack upon the crop by dry or wet, hot or cold weather, and per haps other hidden influences wrapt up in tho arcaua of Nature, arc all influences or. contingencies that must bc considered ; so that whether thc farmer bo Paul or Arp?los, be must saliently await results that will bo boyonu his power to control. Any farmer, however, who understands the capacity ofilia farm, and itsadaptcd ness to grow any kind of grain, can with these formulas in his hand prepare a mu mire that will, under ordiuary circum stances, warrant his anticipating an abundant harvest of grain. We need not tell them that if the farmers combino together mid purchase in bulk, thc acid phosphate of limo can be bought in Charleston at about one and a quarter cents per pound. The two in gredients, nitrate of potassa and sulphate of ammonia, aro nbunduutly supplied for all red lands by n liberal application of I cotton seed. Tho sulphate of limo is plaster of Paris, and is worth about half | as much ns the acid phosphate of lime. Gray lands will ticed nu additional quan tity of potash, which h cheap,, cr can in a great degree be supplied by a liberal uso of ashes. j If we were called upon to suggest a manure for small grains anywhere in the cotton bolt, we would answer thus, basing our reply upon our exp?rience compared with the thoughts advanced by Prof. Ville: Wheat-On all red lands that needed manuring, acid phosphate, 800 lbs. ; cotton seed, 40 bushels, or J,Gu?) or 1,200 lbs., and a sprinkling of loo or 150 lbs. of plaster of Paris applied broadcast in latte- part of February, just after the grain had ocen harrowed with a two horse barrow. Oats-200 lbs. acid phos Ehate, 20 bushels nf cotton sred, ana pcr aps no plaster. On gray or sandy landa we would mix in 100 lbs. of potash per acre for tho wheat. We don't think nay application of commercial 'fertilizers or cotton seed ou worn lands would be re munerative to barley and rye, because tho rye would not produce enough bushela of grain to warrant the application, aud because the barley does not seem to yield 80 wo'i upon any lands fertilized with these 'ommerciai manures, ss it docs when n.. ..le rich by cow-penning or sheep hurdling. On fresh landa we would not apply either of these manures so heavily, simply because tho increased yield would not warrant tho expenditure. There is a certain capacity In all lands, beyond which a superabundance of manure can not carry thc product the first or any Bingie jv?., uu. mien tua laiuiar anuir? thia capacity from experience he should manure up to it, and gradually increase it by anually enlarging tho at.ount of manure applied. This, wo take it, ia scientific farming, and thal is tho kiud and only kind we now nerd in thia country. We want reason, thu^ht, brains, applied to the daily experiences of tho farm, and until we get this there can bo but little hepe of material progress in our system of farming. And tuero ia no branch of ag riculture to which more thought can and ahould be applied than tho one of which wo are now treating-Ibo raakiog and ap plication of plant food in just such quan tities aa will increase thc capacity of the soil at the same time thnt it increases tho annual product.-News and Courier.

"Yes ; I have been straightened by circumstances." O, ticorge! What a Damsd. She was young and fair, and a tear f[listened in ncr eye aa aim laid her curly lead ou his shoulder aud exclaimed : *'0, George! I think if I found you did not love me I should die." "My darling," he answered, passing his hand gently around her dimpled chin, "I will always love you. Do you think I would marry you if I did not feel sure of it. In a few days at thc altar I shall vow to love you all my life, and I will keep my vow." A lovely kind of beatific happiness: played for a moment like sunshine oil lier lips, and then she whispered : "O, George! I like lo hear you talk like that; you have been KO good to me. You -have given mc a diamond locket, und a gold watch and chain, and ringi that au angel might wear outside her gloves ami not he ashamed, aud if I thought that one day you'd he sorry you'd; given mu all these nico tilings and want theui back again I should break my heart !" He held her gently against his manly breast, ami answered with a quavering voice : "O, my own darling ! there is nothiog on earth that could happen that would make mc repent giving you a few tokens of my love, or make me want them hack again." .She sprang from his arms like a joyous deer, she shook hack her sunny curls, and with a whole poem in her hazel eyes, ex claimed : "U, George! you have taken a load from my hc'irt. I've come to say that 1 can't marry von alter all, because i've seen somebody I like better, and I thought you'd want your presents hack again." Au American Dish. An amusing story is told, of which it ia averred that no less a personage than the late George Peabody, the celebrated American banker, was the hero. It ap pears that Mr. Peabody had invited three Englishmen to meet two Americans at dinner, and on this occasion, having re ceived as a gift ten car? of green corn, determined to renew the rccollectbns of bia youth, astonish bis English and please his American guests by having it served up in the well-known American style. Accordingly, at a proper time, plates of butter and salt were placed before each guest, and the banker, with soiine thing of an air ol' mystery, aiiiiuuaced that lie was now about to treat his guests to a well-knovn and delicious American dish of food, cooked in thc American manner. It would be no novelty gp his American guests, hut the Euglijliiicn must watch how it was disposed af by them, and follow their example nndjunu nor in disposing of it, Then, ntattrnal. entered a stately servant bearing ajargc covered dish, which he deposited soi ly before Mr. Peabody. In a m more, in obedience to the baukcr'i he whisked o?r thc cover, and iii fore the astonished guests, was dLir?ayed a pile of ten boiled corncobs ! Thc banker gazed for an inst nt in mute horror and dismay, and then found voice to demand an explanation, vhich was finally reached when the ca k was summoned-a fellow who had ne er be fore seen an ear of Indian corp, n his life. He replied that he had ? lowed his master's direction to "strip oft ill thc outside before boiling," which I c had done most faithfully, not only he des, as was intended, but grains also, so Sat tho oanker had only what is, in Amalea, the mute evidence of the feast to indicate whnt were his good intentions! to his guests._ VEGETINE Strikes nt tho nwt of diseaso by pu riling tho blon.1, restoring tho liver and kidneys iKicSlUiy action, invigorating tho nervous systeaj Vegetino li? not a vilo, nauseous compound, wldjg simply purges tho bowels, but a safe, plcasaif remedy which is stiro to purify tho blood, asl thereby restoro tho health.
