THE sure 'WHICH BORE TO TILE MERSEY TILE CON
TRIDUTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TO TUE RELIEF
OF LANCASHIRE.
Befbre thy stem smooth seas were curled,
Soft winds thy sails did move,
Good ship that from the 'Western world,
Bore freight of brothers' love.
'Twist starving here and striving there
When wrath flies to and fro,
Till all seems hatred everywhere,
how fair thy white wings show !
O'er the great s.etis thy keel ploughed through,
Good ships have borne the chain
That should have knit Old World and New
Across the weltering main.
The chain was borne—one kindly wave
Of speech flashed through its coil;
Then dumb and dead in ocean's grave
Lay hope and cost and toil.
But thou, good ship, again halt brought
O'er those wide waves of blue
The chain of kindly word and thought
To link these worlds anew.
A Woman.
She is a woman : therefore, I a man,
In so much as I love her. Gould I more,
Then I were more a man. Our natures ran
Together, brimming full, not flooding o'er
The banks of life, and evermore will run
In ono full stream until our days are done.
She is a woman, but of spirit brave.
To bear the loss of girlhood's giddy , dreams.
The regal mistress, not the yielding slave
Of her ideal, spurning that which seems
For that which is, and, as her fancies fall,
Smiling • the truth of love outweighs them all
She looks through life, and with a balance just
Weighs men and things, beholdino. b as they are
The lives of others : in the common dust
She finds the fragments of the ruined star:
Proud, with a pride all feminine and sweet,
No path can soil the whiteness of her feet.
The steady candor of her gentle eyes
Strikes dead deceit, laughs vanity away;
She hath no room for petty jealousies,
Where Faith and Love divide their tender sway
Of either sex she owns the nobler part:
Man's honest brow and womans faithful heart
She is a woman, who, if Love were guide,
Would climb to power, or in obscure content
Sit down : accepting fate with changeless pride,—
A reed in calm, in storm a staff unbent:
No pretty plaything, ignorant of life,
But Man's true mother, and his equal wife.

IN certain parts of India a great number
of girls are still murdered immediately after
their birth ; and indeed this horrible custom
is found not only among poor families but in
rich and very noble houses. The wife of an
Indian rajah had had five daughters, and all
immediately after birth,. at the father's`com
mand, and in conformity to custom, were
put to death. At length the mother's love
prompted her to lay - some plan by which the
next might be preserved, and accordingly,
with the help of a trusty servant, the sixth
child, also a girl, was secretly rescued.
The father gave the usual bloody order, but
without his knowledge it was not fulfilled,
and the child was reared up in secret. True,
the mother never dared to see it for fear or
betraying it, and she died without ever hav
ing tasted the mother's inward joy of press
ing her child but once to her bosom.
In India the girls are remarkable for their
beauty. Their eyes are black and brilliant,
their features soft and full of expression.
This maiden, too, grew up to the full mea
sure of youthful beauty, and her nurses and
relatives consequently believed that they
might now present her boldly to her father ;
if they could not rely on the father's heart
yet her beautiful innocence, they thought,
would secure her her life; the more so as
she was the perfect image of her deceased
mother. A favorable moment was chosen
to introduce to the father his child. Richly
attired she approached the astonished chief s
fell doWn at his feet and exclaimed : " My
father !" And the father ? For a moment
love struggled in his bosom with his usual
proud, hard feelings ; but he drew his sword
from its sheath, and with a blow struck off
the head of the lovely child !

EXOD. 2 : 10:—" And he became her son. And
she called his name Moses; and she said because
I draw him out of the water."
In Bengal the rainy season lasts from the
beginning of June to the end of October.
The fall of rain is often so heavy that in a
few hours the grounds are standing in water.
An indigo,planter, a respectable, pious man,
in one of those wet days, was out with the
laborers who were endeavoring to protect
the indigo against the storm. Suddenly he
observed the laborers not far distant from
him, standing motionless and looking at
something which they held in their hands.
He hastened thither and discovered that it
was a boy of eight months, whom they hail
picked up from the ground. His mother
had put him there that he might be swallow
ed up by the flood or seized by jackalls. His
little eyes had already turned, his fingers
were knotted up with cramp, his lips were
blue, no breathing could be detected. The
pious planter hastened home with his sweet
burden, procured a warm bath fru' the stif
fened child and rubbed it with warm flannel.
At length, to the great joy of its new foster
parent, it returned to life, and was success
fully reared by a nurse. Now this child
that like Moses was drawn out of the water,
and wits called Moses, is teacher of other
orphan children in a missionary establish
ment in india. Might he but, as another
';Moses, release all his Hindoo brethren from
the service of sin and of heathenism.

child, that she should not have compassion on the
son of her womb? yea, they may fbrget, yet will I
not forget thee."
One day missionary Moffat heard in the
neighborhood of his house a low moaning.
Holiowing up the sound and stooping down
e soon found that it proceeded from the
earth. After a long search to find the right
point, he cleared away the sand with his
baud and came upon a large stone. With
difficulty he raised:it up, and found there 'a
little child which had been buried "by the
hand of its unnatural mother. The poor
child had spent a whole night in the ground
and had only by a miracle been kept alive
till morning. The true God who hears the
young ravens when they cry, had heard the
moanings of the deserted babe and guided it
to the hand of its true servant. He took it
from the earth and laid it in the arms of his
wife, who nourished it with a mother's care
and faithfulness. The child continued to
live in MotTat's house, and afterwards, when
reared up to intelligence, she accompanied
her faithful foster-parents on their journey
to Loudon.
Ps. 27: 10•—" When my father anti tny mother
forsake me then the Lord will take me up•"
One evening, before the inhabitants of
Caffree village had retired to rest, a little
swarthy maiden lay playing before her
father's house. Suddenly there came from
a neighboring weed four large wolves and.
sprang upon her. One seized . her by the
head, another by the shoulders, and the two
others by the legs, and dragged her off as
fast as they could. The neighbors hearing
her cries hastened up arid gave chase to the
wolves. Then dropped their prey and re
treated to the woods, but the Caffree child
was badly wounded by the teeth of the hun
gry creatures. All bloody as 'it was, the
parents bore it into the hut and laid in on a
bed of straw ; but they did nothing to heal
it of its wounds; they left it lie in its dis
tress. The poor child screamed night and
day. The burning pain of the wounds was
heightened by the heat and the sting of flies
to a mortal agony. The parents expected
nothing else but that the child must die ; and
they had only one care, and that was to get
it out of the hut before that actually took
place. They gave it its choice, either to be
slain with spears by the neighbors or to be
carried out into the woods and left there to
perish. What could the poor child do?
" Carry me out into the woods," she cried.
And the parents bore it far, far away, into
a dense dark thicket, where no eye could
see it, and no ear could hear its cries of pain.
And then they . turned away without looking
back, and once more at home, they gave
hurdle a thought to their dying child. While
the Caffree maiden lay in those gloomy lone
some woods, a thought came suddenly into
her mind. And who else could have given
it to her but the merciful Saviour, who saw
the poor child laid there in her misery and
took pity upon her? She recollected that a
missionary lived in the neighborhood, and
that he was a kind, amiable man. And she
said to herself: "I will try to crawl to his
house. He is a good man ; he will not
drive me away." With that, she got up and
began with her wounded limbs slowly to
creep over the wood and the stones in the
direction in which she thought the mission
ary's house might be. And lo I the Lord
directed her into the right waw. After
creeping on and on for a long time, at last
she came out of the woods on to a high
and grassy spot, where stood the house she
was seeking. When the missionary found
the bleeding child lying before his door, a
pang went to his very heart. He counted
the wounds which had been made by the
cruel wolves, and found not less than four
teen. The worst of them all was on the
child's head. The wolf had tried to take
the whole bead in his jaws, and had quite
torn off one of the cheeks. The missionary
laid the child half dead from exhaustion on
a soft bed, cleansed her wounds, poured a
soothing oil upon them, and bound them in
linen bandages. But while 'he thus nursed
the sick child, he told her of the Saviour
who had done so much more for her than he
was now doing. He told the child how the
Saviour had snatched his sheep from the
jaws of Satan, and had given his own life
for them that they might not perish. The
child always listened attentively but made
no reply to what her kind, * fatherly friend
told her of the Saviour: Bye and bye the
child recovered and the wounds healed up.
The missionary then inquired whether she
would like to go back to her parents? "Oh
no," she exclaimed, they drove- me away
but you took me in; I will stay with you."
Sometime afterwards the missionary was
walking up and down and meditating mar'
the house,when he heard a voice. It was
the voice of a child, the voice of one at
prayer. He looked around and beheld thq,
deserted child whom he had taken up and
nursed, kneeling in the thicket, and praying
very devoutly and earnestly to the Saviour.
Oh ! what pleasant sounds were they for the
missionary. Now he might hope that the
child would become one of Jesus 's lambs and
would love her Saviour. Now he saw with
pleasure the promise fulfilled in its best
sense to the- child : " When my father and
mother forsake me then the Lord will take
me up."

HEBREW AND
OF MODgRN APPREHENSION
HISTORY.
IN a very tame way, we fancy, our history
is, apprehended. Thus, for instance, the well
known, perhaps the best known, national in
cident, the destruction of the Armada, the
Spanish Armada, the, Invincible Armada.
How differently has Macaulay recited the
story to the way in which we can conceive it
recited by some ancient Hebrew in a similar
instance. Our poet dwells, indeed, on the
mustering of the nation ; but the true poem
is left unsung. We have the gathering of
the people; not the scattering of the foe.
There is very much in that projected inva
sion which reminds us of the invasion of Is
rael, by Sisera; and many of the words of
that glorious song of Deborah might well
befit our case. It is quite wonderful what a
propensity there has been in tyrants, from
time immemorial, to reckon' their chlckens
before they were hatched ; as the mother of
Sisera sang : " Have they not sped ? have
they not divided the prey—to every man a
damsel or two ; to Sisera a prey of divers
colors, a prey of divers colors of needle-work,
of divers colors of needle-work on both sides,
meet for the necks of tnem that take the
spoil ? •' We wonder how a ''Hebrew would
have chanted the story of those much mis
guided asses, the captains and chief govern
ors of that most imperial ass that ever was,
Philip 11., who had prepared his armada as
a gorgeous flotilla, for a very festival of con
quest ; fitting out his large fleet with soldiers
and inquisitors, who were to murder and to
havoc the streets of London, and make the
sack 'of Antwerp' pale. Alas ! they calcula
ted badly. London was all before their an
xious eyes. There was velvet, and gold, and
baggage, for the triumph—lights and torches
for the illumination—when, London shoidd be
sacked. Every captain had received some
gi"t from the Prince to make himself brave;
and lances so gorgeous—'tivas a preparation"

for a triumph, not for a war. And then
came that night, and the sob of the storm,
and the drip of the mysterious oars, and the
devil-ships of Grianibetli, and the flame, and
the mist, and the tempest; and so—bet we
know the rest ; only, what would an Israelite
have said over such a victory ? " Thou
breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east
wind."
These are the things in a nation's history
which make a peopl look up. These are
the foundations of national pride and exul
tation. It is possible, indeed, that in many
a lonely Methodist chapel, in many a far
away village college, the sentiment, God for
England, is felt just as truly, and perhaps
as profoundly, as in the hearts of the ancient
Hebrew. But these things have not entered
into the texture of our national poetry.
Our history has incidents as gloWing and
marvelous, but have we the heart of the an
cie,nt Hebrew to recite the story? Why, it
is iiithe memory of men living now, and here
—and only a'few months since we called our
readers' attention to it—how Napoleon I.
spread his mighty camp along the heights of
Boulogne, where a hundred thousand men
waited for the_ moment when, beneath the
leadership of the First Consul, they were to
spring on England—those preparations were
vast—and fifty thousand men spread along
the coast from Brest to Antwerp. " Let us
be masters of the channel," said Napoleon,
" for six hours, and we are masters of the
world." Also the master of the French
.Mint received orders to strike a medal com
memorating the conquest—and although the
die had to be broken, there were three copies
taken; two are in France, and one in Eng
land—the inscription in French, "London
taken 1804." But there was One "sitting in
the heavens who laughed : the Lord had them
in derision. He spoke unto them in his
wrath, and vexed them in his sore displea
sure ; for, alas, alas ! Admiral La Touche
Treville, having received orders to put to sea,
he alone knowing the destiny of the fleet, fell
sickokpoor man,' and died just then ; and
there was no head to direct, and no hand to
strike, and the thing had to be postponed.
But . Napoleon, did not give up : in 1805 he
was waiting still in Boulogne ! London was
not taken, to be sure, in 1804, but it might
be in 1805. He climbed the heights again
and again, and waited for the junction of the
fleets: but he strained his eyes in vain—his
admirals blundered, and so that fleet which
was to have taken London, while Napoleon
supposed it hastening to Brest, was flying to
Gediz, there to meet with Nelson at ..Praial•
gar ; and so, in fact, London was not taken.
But what would an ancient Hebrew have
said ? He would have said, "As we have
heard, so have we seen ; God is known in
her palaces for a refuge. For, 10, the kings
were assembled, they passed by together.
They saw it, and so. they marvelled ; they
were troubled, and hasted away." "We have
thought of thy lovingkindness, 0 God, in the
midst of thy temple." He would have sung,
as Deborah sang. "So let all thine enemies
perish, 0 Lord ; but let them that love hint
be as the sun when he goeth forth in his
might."—London Eclectic.
RHODE ISLAND AND DELAWARE COM
PARED.
IN 1790 the population of Rhode Island
was 69.110,-and that of Delaware 59.096.
In 1860 the former numbered 174.620, the
latter 112.216. ThuS, from 1790, to 1860,
the ratio of increase of popnlation of Rhode
Island was 152.67 per cent., and of Dela
ware, 89.88. At the same relative rate of
increase, for the next, as for the last seventy
years, the population of Rhode Island in
1930, would be 441.212, and of Delaware,
213.074. Thus in 1790, Rhode Island num
bered but 10.014 more than Delaware, 62.-
404 more in 1860, and, at the same ratio of
increase, 228.138 more in 1930. Such has
been and would be the effect of slavery in re
tarding the increase of Delaware, as com
pared with Rhode Island. (Census Table,
1860, No. 1.)
The population of Rhode Island per square
mile in 1790, was 52.15, and in 1860, 133.-
71;
that of Delaware, 27.87 in 1790, and
59.93 in 1860. The absolute increase of pop
ulation of Rhode Island, per square mile,
from 1790 to 1860, was 80.79, and from
1850 to 1860, 20.74; that of Delaware, from
1790 to 7860 was 25.05, and from 1850 to
1860, 9.67. (Ib.)
AREA.—The area of Rhode Island is 1.306
square miles, and of Delaware, 2.120, being
38 per cent. ' or much more than one third
larger than Rhode. Island. Retaining their
respective ratios of increase, per square mile,
from 1790 to 1860, and reversing their areas,
the population of Rhode Island in 1860,
would have been 283.465, and of Delaware,
78.268.
In natural fertility of soil Delaware is far
superior to Rhode Island, the seasons much
more favorable for crops and stock, and with
more than double the number of acres of ara
ble land.
PROGRESS OF WEALTH.-By Census Ta
ble 33 and. 36 (omitting commerce); it ap
pears that the products of industry as given,
viz., 'of agriculture, manufactures, mines,
and fisheries, were' that year, in Rhode Is
land, of the value of $52 400.000, or. $3OO
per capita, and in Delaware, $16.100.000,
or $143 per capita. That is, the average
annual value of the product of the labor of
each person in Rhode Island is greatly more
than double that of the labor of each person
in Delaware, including slaves. This we have
seen, would make the value of the products
of labor in Rhode Islan - d in 1930, $132.363.-
600, and in Delaware, only $30.469.582,
notwithstanding the far greater area and
superior natural advantages of Delaware as
compared with Rhode Island.
As to the rate of increase : the value of
the products of Delaware in 1850 was $7.-
804.992, in 1860, $16.100.000 ; and in
Rhode Island, in 1850 $24.288.088, and in
1860, $5 . 2.400.000 (Table 9, Treas. Rep.
1856), exhibiting it large difference in the
ratio in favor of Rhode Island.
By Table 36, p. 196, Census of 1860, the.
cash value of the farm lands of Rhode Island
in 1860 was $19:385.573, or $37.30 per acre
(519.698 acres), and of Delaware, $31.426.-
3,57, or $31.39 per acre (1.004.295 acres).
Thus, if the farm lands of Delaware were of
the cash value of those of Rhode Island per
Aare, it would increase the value of, those of
Delaware $5.935.385, whereas the whole
value of her slaves is but $538.400.
But by Table 35, Census of 1860, the to
tal value of the real and personal property
of Rhode Island in 1860, was $185.337.588,
and of Delaware, $46.242.181., making a dif
ference in favor of Rhode Island $89.095.407,
whereas, we have - seen, .in the absence, of
slavery, Delaware must have, far exceeded
Rhode Island in wealth and population,
The earnings of commerce are not given
by the census, but, to how vast an extent
this would swell the difference in favor of
Rhode Island, we may learn from the Cen
sus, Bank Table No. 34. I',he number of
the banks of Rhode Island in 1860, was 91;
capital, $20.865.569 ; loans, $26.719.877 ;
l e l i .t rc p ul e a li t l i N o va n r , e s , 3 n .s u s mb B. 2 e 9 r 0 5; f deposits, $3.553.104.
banks, 21 ; capital,
$1.640.775 ; loans, $3.150.215 ; circulation,
$1.135,772 ; deposits, $976223.
Having shown how much slavery h a s re . ,
tarded the material progress of Delaware,
let us now consider its affect upon her moral
and intellectual development.
NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS:- The,
number of newspapers and periodicals in
Rhode Island in 1860, mlts 26, of which 18
were political, 6 literary, and 2 miscellane
ous. (Census, Table No. 37.) The number
in Delaware was 14; of which 13 were politi
cal, and 1 literary. Of. periodicals, Delaware
had none ; Rhode Island, 1. The number of
copies of newspapers and periodicals issued
in Rhode Island in 1860 was 5.289.280, and
iu Delaware only 1.010.776, or largely more
than five to one in favor of Rhode Island.
As regards ,schools, colleges, academies,
libraries, and churches,. I must take the con
,sus of 1850, thosa. tables for
,1860 not being
yet arranged or published. The number of
public schools in Rhode Island in 1850 was
426, teachers 518, pupils 23,130 ; attending
school during the year, as returned by fami
lies, whites, 28.359; native adults of the
State who cannot read or write, 1.248; pub
lic libraries, .96 ; volumes, 104.342 ; value of
churches, $1.293.600,; percentage of native
free adults who cannot read or write, 1.49.
Colleges and academies, pupils, 3,664,
(Comp. Census of 1850). The number of
schools in Delaware in 1850, was 194, teach
ers 214, pupils B,97o,;,attending school dur
ing
the year, whites, as returned by families,
14.216 ; native free adults of the State who
cannot read or write,: 99,777 ; public libraries,
17 ; volumes, 17,950; value of churches,
$340.345; percenta.g4 of native free adults
who cannot read or 'write, 23.03 ; colleges
and academies, pupil 3, 764. (Comp. Census,
1850.)
These official sta istics enable me then
again to say, that lavery is hostile to the
progress of populatio t, wealth, and education,
to science and literature, to schools and col
leges, to books and libraries, to churches and
religion, to the press; and therefore to FREE
GOVERNMENT ; hoStile to the poor, keeping
them in want and ignorance; hostile to Zabor,
reducing it to servitude and decreasing two
thirds the value of
,its products ; hostile to
MORALS, repudiating among slaves the marital
and parental condition, classifying them by
law as CHATTELS, darkening the immortal
soul, and making it a crime to teach millions
of human beings tO read or write.—Conti

DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII.
We recently mentioned that the Pompeiian
explorations have been rewarded by the dis
covery of the impression of a human figure
—apparently. a man of fifty years—with ar
ticles of dress, etc: The excavations are
proceeding under the direction of M. Fiorelli,
who, according to the Turin correspondent of
The London, Herald, is displaying much zeal
in the work, and taking far greater care
than has been done heretofore, in the remo
val, of the rubbish. that incases the buried
city. One of the latest discoveries is a
bronze statuette of the Greek school, Which
the correspondent describes as remarkable
for "beauty of execution and excellence of
design." It represents a handsome, well
formed youth in an attitude of deep atten
tion, and has been called "Narcissus listen
ing to the voice of Echo." It is added that
M. Fiorelli refers the work to the school of
the sculpture Lysippus. In a few days after
the discovery of the human figure above re
ferred to, "another cavity was brought to
light. The experiment of casting (adopted
in the first instance) was renewed, and yielded
the touching spectacle of two female figures
—apparently mother and daughter—in a
posture that Mournfully records the anguish
of their last moments. Here the texture of
. the dress is more faithfully preserved ; the
arms were covered with sleeves reaching to
the wrist, and the . feet were encased in em
broidered shoes. In the neighborhood of the
bodies were found . two pairs of ear T rings,
a golden finger-ring, two iron keys, and a
hundred pieces of money, probably the house
hold valuables which the unhappy victims
were endeavoring to, save from destruction,
together with the means of ingress to the
ruined house on 'another occasion, had not
the present proved fatal. A fourth figure
has been reproduced, but the result is less
successful than in the preceding instances."
RIGHT WORDS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
At the great meeting held in Manchester
to protest against the laxity of the British
Government in the case of the Alabama,
Professor Newman. and Goldwin Smith, Re-'
gius Professor of. History at Oxford, both
men of high acadmic and literary repute,
took the ground that the Government was
responsible to American citizens for every
iota of damage cleric by Confederate war-ves
sels escaping- the ports through its own want
of vigilance. "No man," said Prof. New
man, "should be elected to Parliament who
is not in favor of paying an indemnity to the
Americans for the losses inflicted by the
Alabdma." " No nation," said Goidwin Smith,.
arguina• ° the same point, "ever inflicted up
on another a more flagrant or a more mad
dening wrong. -No nation with English
blood in its veins had ever borne such a
wrong without resentment. The case of the
Alabama bore no analogy to the case of sale
of munitions of war. She was not,Tike muni
tions of war, exported to the territory of the
purchaser. She did not go—she never was
meant to go—into a Confederate port ; up to
this moment she had never entered a port in
the Confederate territory. Built and equip
ped in a British port, manned by British sea
men, with the English flag flying, she went
forth to cruise from an English port against
the commerce of our allies. That was the
substantial grievance, of the American Gov
ernment, and no' technicalities of the Soho',
tor-General wouldOake it otherwise than a
heinous wrong."
whole The

-the Saviour came to found, took its rise, from

blood, you cannot have health; with that " life of
the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous
disease.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual antidotes
that medical science has discovered for this afflict
ing distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it
entails. That it is far superior to any other
remedy yet devised, is known by all who have
given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in their effect upon this class of
complaints, is indisputably proven by the great
multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures
it has made of the following diseases; King's
Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas,
Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in
the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or indeed, the whole series
of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood.
- .Minute reports of individual cases may be found
in Area's AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished
to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein
may be learned the directions for its use, and some
of the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those
cases are purposely taken from all sections of
. the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one who can speak to him of its bene
fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses
the vital energies, and thus leaves is victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results than
are heftily constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of
human life.*The vast importance of these con
siderations has led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we
now offer to the public under the name of ArEa's
SARSAPARILLA, although it is composed of ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsa
parilla in alterative power. By its aid you may
protect yourself from the suffering and danger of
these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions
that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the
causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow - .
By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus expels the distempers
which lurk - Within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have
been proven by abundant trial, and there remains
no question of its surpassing excellence for the
cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to
reach. Although under the same name, it is a
very different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and is far more effectual
than any other which has ever Demi available to
them.
