Not so with On. Hunt, whose extensive research and prac tical experience so eminently qualify him for the profession of which he has been one of the most useful merhherii. He contends~and a moment’s reflection will convince any reasoning mind .of the correctness of his views—that the stomach, liv er, and the associated organs are the primary and great regulators of health, and that the blood in Very many instances is dependent on these or- Karts. and that unless medicine reaches THE ROQT OF THE DISEASE, the aufierficial anodynes. usually prescribed, serve but as foils to cn\er the ravages of deep-rooted maladies.— Under these convictions', at the exp<?nse>of years of close application,.the doctor lias discovered & medicine: whose searching powers are irresi>ti ble, and in prescribing, it is with a knowledge of its being a radical cure ip the various diseases already enumerated, even if applied in the most critical 'cases, bat he docs not pretendto ascribe 10 -- - - —- - - - —■■ —, — v HUNT’S BOTANIC PILLS n supernatural agency, although from positive proofs within the knowledge'©!' hundreds lie is preparedto shew, that when every other earth ly 'remedy has been given up, HUNT S BOTANIC PILLS ; have never been known to’fail in .effecting two very f-i-atiTying fefiults, that of raisin); from the bed of sickness and disease those who have test ed their efficacy, and thus amply rewarding Dr. Hunt for his long and anxious study to attain this /infection in the Hkalihg Aut.

The symptrims.were a painful obstruction, with a constant rejection of food, head-ache, palpita tion of the heart, "lowness of spirits, a trouble? some dry cough, dizziness, at the chest and difficulty of breathing, almost constant pain in the side, loins, and shoulders, accompanied with muclr.languor and debility' These afflic tions, together with an undsunl degree of flatu lence, brunght on such a state of extreme weak ness, as to prevent him from attending to Ills bu siness, and his health appeared lost beyond re covery.

When infants are at-the age of four'months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one hot tie of the syrup should he used on the gums' to open the pores. Parents should never he with out the syrup in the nursery where there are young children, for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, Bcc.

The rivers hoard the noise,— The valleys rung it out; And, every heart leaped high at the voice Of that thrilling battle shout! They sprang from tho bridal bed, From the pallet of labors rest.

A high and steep hill in-front, at-length enforced a move moderate gait, when Cor ley, as if struck by a sudden rccollcctioti, turned his head anxiously towards his com panion, a lovely woman, who, -pale, silent and motionless, reclined oh his shoulder. ‘Ellen, my love,’ said Morley, tenderly, T fear this will prove ton much for your de licate frame.’ There was no reply. . i . Morley leaned his face nearer lo berg, and, by the moonbeams, saw that her .features were fixed, her open eyes gazing on vacan cy,while the tears which had recently stream ed from thetp, seemed congealed upon her bloodless cheeks. » ‘God of heaven!’ exclaimed Morley, ‘what means this? Ellen, beloved, adored! do you not hear me? Will you'not speak to me—to Morley, your Morley.? and he gently press ed her in his arms. " The name.he uttered, like a charm, dis solved the spell that bound her. A long di;a\vn sigh, as if struggling from a breaking heart, escaped her cold, quivering lips; a fresh fountain of tears burst forth; and with an hysteric sob, site'fell upon the bosom of her lover. . ; • , The, alarmed, but enraptured Morley, folded her in his arms, and bent to kiss a way her tears, when, with a sudden “start, she disengaged herself from his embrace, and, drawing back, looked wildly and earn estly in his lnce. r —' —-—; r x ‘Morley,’ she said, in a voice of thrilling tone, ‘do you love mer*' - ‘Dearest, best Ellen,’ he replied, ‘do you, can you doubt it?’ ‘Do you love me, Morley?.’ she repeated' witlfincreased earnestness. ‘Truly, devotedly, madly, cried Morley, on his knees; ,‘by the heaven that is shining over us.’ ’ . • ‘No more oaths; enough of protestations.

But, oh, if'you love me as you ought, as you have s worn'you do, as a man of hon or, 1 implore you to take me back to my fa ther.’ ' . ! ‘To your.father!’ exclaimed- Morley, af most unconscious of what he said. ‘Ay, to my father, my grey-headed, my doting, my confiding father; take'me.to him before his heart is broken by the child he loves.
