Just as Thou Art.
Just as thou art—without one trace
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
Or meetness for the heavenly plane,
0 guilty sinner come.
Thy sine I bore on Calvary's tree
The stripes, thy due, were laid on me,
That peaoe and pardon might be free
-0 wretched sinner, some.
Burdened with guilt, would'et thou be blest ?
Trust not the world, it gives no rest;
I bring relief to hearts opprest
-0 weary Pinner, come.
Come, leave thy burden at the cross;
Count all thy gains but empty dross;
My grace repays all earthly loss
0-needy sinner, come.
Come, hither bring thy boding fears;
Thy aching Mart, thy bursting tears ;
'T is mercy's voice salutes thy ears
-0 trembling sinner, come
11 , The Spirit and the Bride say, Come,"
Rejoicing saints re-echo, Come;
Who DAMS, who thirsts, who will, may come—
Thy Saviour bids thee come.

Tan EXTIINT or TUN ATONBISINT, in its relation to
God and the Universe. By the Rev. Thomas W.
.Tenkyn, D D., late President of Coward Col
lege, London. Third Edition carefully revised
by the Author, for the American Edition.
12m0., pp. 376. Boston: Gould t Lincoln.
New York : Sheldon, Blakeman i t Co. 1859.
When this work was originally published in Eng
land, it made a very decided impression, and raised
the name of Dr. Jenkyn to a high place among the
theologians of the Independents. In Scotland,
the work had little acceptance, and the volume
by Dr. Symington, on the same subject, was gen
erally acknowledged to be a triumphant reply.
Dr. Symington was a calm, clear writer, and an
accurate thinker. He was brought up in an so
'curate• eohool, in which all the doctrines of
'theology, and their relation to each other, were
understood. In England, among the Dis
senters, there is often much confusion, and this
darkness exists on subjects connected with the
Atonement, as well as other matters of import
ance. To some of these misconceptions, Dr.
Jenkyns had referred in his first edition of this
book. Had he been replying to a Scotch treatise
on the same subjeot, be would have found that
the views which he combats would have been as
stoutly opposed by his adversary. We refer to
the position which it has been asserted is taken
up by some controversialists, namely, that a
greater amount of suffering would have been laid
on the Saviour than that which he endured, had
be redeemed a greater number of sinners, so as
to secure their glorification. Symington, and all
who agree with him, repudiate such views, and
yet, in this edition, we have long • arguments
against such errors, as if Hodge, Symington, and
others,.had never written on these points, and as
if really any writer worthy of notice ever held
them. For, we question the accuracy of the as
aertions of Jenkyns, in the work before us, that
the passages which he quotes from Owen and
others really bear the signification which he
attaches to them. We have not space to enter on
a lengthened review of this book. Many col
owe,- could we afford-room, might be dew:wed
to such an examination, and we think that the
errors and misconceptions which Be 'on the sur
face of this volume, are so transparent, that even
a careless reader, who understands the teachings
of Turretine, or any great Master in Israel,
may not only comprehend, but easily refute them.
We have no hesitation, however, in saying that
Dr. Jenkyn's book is by far the most comprehen
sive and powerful one which we know, in defence
of the " Governmental view of the Atonement;
and this copy possesses this peculiar excellence,
that it has been specially examined and corrected
for the press, so that the American edition would
fully and accurately express his matured views
on this great subject. Our New School friends
will no doubt patronize it largely.

This work appeared in numbers, in the Atlantic
Monthly, where it was much admired; and as it
now appears, in a volume, it is proving itself to
be very attractive. The conceptions are• bold,
and the style pleasing. The wit in sometimes
striking, and the general remarks instructive.
The author, Oliver Wendell Holmes, tells us that,
twenty-five years ago, he made an attempt at writ
ing, under the same caption. As a specimen of the
young man's fancy, take the following, on pp. vi.
and vii :
"Once on a time, a notion was started, that if
all the poople in the world would shout at once,
it might be heard in the moon. So the projectors
agreed it should be done in just ten years. Some
thonsands ship loads of chronometers were distrib
uted to the selectmen and other great folks of all
the different nations. For a year beforehand,
nothing else was talked about but the awful noise
that was to be made on the great occasion.
When the time earne r every body had their ears
'so wide open, to hear the universal ejaculation of
• Boo—the word agreed upon—that nobody spoke
except a deaf man in one of the Pejee Islands, and
'a woman in Pekin ' so that the wirld watt never so
still since the creation."
And as an exhibition of a riper judgment, note
this remark, ,on p. 154:
"Do n't't read up various matters to talk about
at this table or elsewhere ?-1.10, that is the last,
thing I would tie. I will tell pommy rule. Talk
about those, subjects you have had long in your
mind, and listen to what ethereally about subjects
you. have studied but recently. Knowledge and
timber should n't be much used till they are sea
soned."

Evangelical' ParalleL
',EY THE RIV. J. -WETE, TELINGTni LONDON
In contemplating the history of modern
Mvangelism, a striking. Parallel presents
itself.; between its origin, progress, diffteal.
ties, as well as its prospective triumph, and
the building—by- Nehemiah and his com
panions--of the wall of Jerusalem. Let us
endeavor to trace this parallel in some of its
great outlines.
1. The work undertaken by Nehemiah
and his adherents was divinely authorised.
As ,the oup.bearer of a mighty monaioh,
rich rewards might have been his own;- but
full of zeal 'for the Divine glory, he resolved
to sacrifice them all. Dangers and Men],
tips could not appal hint, and in holy self
denial he consecrated himself to the one
great enterprise of restoring the wan , of his
beloved Jerusalem. And so when we look
at the history of the Fathers and Founders
of our great Missionary Societies, we per
ceive how the philanthropic resolves and
plans of these holy men were all based on
the deep conviction that the work to be done
was of Divine"appointment. They did not
say, " A lion is in the wayelet this be the
work of other generations and more propi
tious time." No : but with one consent
they cried, "The work is the Lord's, let us
arise and build
2. The wall of Jerusalem was built "in,
troublous times" Sanballat the Horonite,
and Tobiah, the Ammonite, were grieved
exceedingly .that "there was come a man to
seek the welfare of Israel," (Neh. 10,)
and, therefore, by every possible means,
they sought t 6 defeat the enterprise. And
so Satan has stirred up a spirit of unrelent
ing opposition against the cause of God in
these last days. Sometimes this enmity has
assumed an ecclesiastical aspect; as when
the, General Assembly of the Church of
Sootland sixty years ago, rejected as fanat
ical a proposition to send as Mission to the
heathen. It was gravely asserted by one
member, that "to spread abroad the knowl
edge of the Gosprl aiuong• barbarous sod
heathen -nations was highly preposterous, l i
inasmuch as it reverses the order of thin as;
men must be polished and refined in their
manners before they can be properly enlight
ened in religious truths; and philosophy
and learning must, in the nature of things,
take the precedence." Nay, .the concern
which had been expressed in regard to the
Gospel being necessary to the salvation of
the heathen was treated as "groundless,"
and a warm eulogium was pronounced upon
their simplicity and innocence 1 It was in
rising up to condemn these unscriptural
sentiments that the aged and venerable Dr.
Erakin, extending his arms toward the Se, •
cred Volume, which lay before the Modera
tor, exclaimed, "Rix me (reach rue) that
Bible," and with indignant eloquence, re
minded his brethren that an inspired Apos
tle accounted hinlirelf a debtor not merely
to the polished Greeks, but to the savage
barbarians—to preach to them the Gdspel
of Christ. So likewise there was a time in
the history of the Church of England, when ,
men were rewarded and promoted, who op
posed and denounced in speeches and
pamphlets, the work id' Bible and Mission- ,
ary Societies.
Sometimes the spirit of opposition to " the
building of the wall" has worn a political
guise, as when the-East India Company re
fused permission to Christian, Missionaries
to land in Bengal, or made treaties with na
tive princes, by which they agreed to en
dow Mohammedan Mosques, or the temples
of. Pagan idolatry. And even when the
work had been begun and had made pro
gress,
how numerous were the enemies still !
There were the shafts of wit, the sneers of
" philosophers " and "reviewers," directed •
against Missions as utopian schemes. Even
among professors of religion, there are still
many who cherish the cruel sentimentalism
already noticed, which talks of "virtuous
heathens," * or there is a spirit of unbelief
and hopelessness of success, like that of the
lord of Samaria who said, "Behold, if the
Lord would make windows in hertv,en, might
this thing be ?" (2. Kings vii : 2 ) When
we add to this thd avowed infidelity or ra
tionalism of a large portion of Protestant
Europe—the gigantic efforts of 'the Romish
Propaganda to establish missions in every
part of the would, the attempt to destroy
Protestant missions, as at Tahiti, and more
recently the suppression by priestly influence
of the Baptist missions at Fernando Po; the
stern front presented by the stereotyped and
ancient systems of Chinese, and Indiatpand
African idolatry, the persecuting bigotry of
the heathen Queen of Madagascar, with the
determined rejection of Christianity by the
Jews as a people, surely all these form a
powerful confederacy against the cause of !!
God. There is afeeble band of 'builders on ti
-
the one hand, and a mighty host drawn up
in battle array under the Prince of dark- ,
nese on the other.
Yet, 3. There are means of certain sue. .1
seas. In the case of the Jewish bailders,
the enterprise was undertaken and prosecu
ted in the spirit of believing prayer. Neh
emiah lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,
"Hear, 0 our God, for we are despised;
and turn thou their reproach upon their
own head." And thus praying, the work
went steadily on. "So built we the wall!'
(Neh. iv :.2-4, 6.) Thus prayer now,
shall be the precursor of triumph.
A signal illustration of the power of faith
and prayer, in the presence of great diffi
culties and bitter opposition, has recently
come to our knowledge. In the department
of Dordogne, iu France, at La Force, not
far distant from the city of Bordeaux, the
Rev. John Bost commenced his labors as a
Protestant pastor. In that very district,
not less than. twenty thousand Huguenots
were wont to assemble at one time, and to
partake together of the Lord's Supper..
There, however, persecution had raged, and
for one hundred and fifty years the remnant
of the Huguenots were as sheep Without a
shepherd. .
Mr- Boat found a large number of young
Protestants spending the afternoon of the
Lord's day in sinful amusements. He pro
posed to his people to begin a Sunday
School. They said such a thing was never
beard of there, and it was impossible. On
the first Lord's day he had but one pupil ;
the second there were twl; he persevered,
and ere long, nearly all the young people
were brought under instruction. He dis
covered a large number of orphan Protest
ant girls, who were being sent by Romish
priests to convents to be educated as Papists.
He resolved to build an Orphan Asylum.
His revived and zealous flock—a poor agri
cultural people--employed their oxen and
oasts to collect materials. They subscribed
money. The walls began to rise, when mad
denly appeared two men—one a Jesuit—
who warned the pastor, in the name of the
local authorities, to give up the building in
a fortnight. The pastor wrestled with God
in secret. The people were cast down and
said, " We shall not finish this building, as
it roust go to the priests." Next Lord's
day Mr. Bost preached a sermon to the
young men of his flock on the text, Neh.
iv : 2-3. As this passage contains the
words, " If a fox go up, he shall even break
down their atone wall," the discourse is
spoken of as "the fox sermon" to this day.
The "fox" was interpreted to be the Jesuit
visitor, and the young men at once cried
out, " Let us go on with the work." But
the cautious old men shook their heads.
Whereupon the pastor announced that in
the evening he would preach a sermon to
the old. His text was Haggai ii : S—" Go
'up to the- mountain and bring wood and
build the house," &c. • The old people no
sooner were satisfied that this was really a
text of Scripture, than they rose up and
said, "Sir, we don't want a sermon on it.
It is enough. Let us arise and build "
That very night they and their sons went
away.to the neighboring mountains with
carte and oxen, to bring thence the necessa
ry wood and stones. God has given favor
in the sight of the Prefect to the pastor,
and now a flourishing church with an Or,-
phan school, and an Idiot Asylum attached,
attest the power of faith and prayer.

holy zeal. " The people had a mind to
work " And our modern Evangelistic la
borers have made progress because they have
acted on the deep conviction that "it is good
always to be zealously affected in a good
thing." (Gat Iv : 18.)
5. Watchfulness and courage must be
combined with prayer and perseverance.
"Nevertheless we made our prayer uuto our
God, and set a watch against them day and
night." (Neh. iv: 9 ) Nay, we read that
"every man had his sword on his thigh, and
ao builded." And what valiant readiness to
fight for Christ; what unsleeping vigilance
in his cause distinguiahed the early history
of modern missions? Is there not courage
still ? Are there not Christian heroes ready
to be baptized in the place of the dead ?"
And when the foe has been awed or repelled,
shall nut the soldier become the builder, go
down into the quarry, hew out and polish
the living stone, and then come up and place
it upon the still unfinished wall .of Jerusa
lem
6. The Jewish builders were also distin
guished by their union. Theirs was 2 holy
confederacy, a mutual sympathy, a common
cause. They obeyed the summons of their
leader; and, when the alarm was blown,
they rushed together to the post of. danger.
(Neb. iv : 10-21.) Tbus do we see the
friends of Jesus, of various names, meet on
the missionary platform, and on foreign
shores Thus at Calcutta and, elsewhere,
the agents of the various Societies assemble
in holy concert for prayer, and go forth 'to.
watch, to fight, and to build together. The
bitter hostility of the common foe, but
brings the spiritual buildings more closely
together.
7. The cause of Christ shall be crowned
with final triumph. "So, the wall was fin
ished" in Nehemiah's.days, (vi: 15.) So
shall it bo with the wall of Evangelism in
these last times, and that, we trust, ere long.
Of the founders of our great religious insti
tutions, " some remain to this present, while
others are fallen asleep " Nevertheless,
these all " died in faith ;" they expired with
the assured hope of the ultimate completion
of the work. And shall we not be stimula
ted to persevere by the signs of the times
—even in their gloomy aspeet---most en
couraging ?
Wherefore, also, let us arise, and build—
each on his own part of the wall. Yea, let
us be spiritual warriors and builders to
gether. Let us help one another—•run to
gether to the spot where there is difficulty
and danger—sympathizing with—praying
for—eheering on other hard pressed builders
4 slow: , the wall.
And you, the straggling saints of other
Hands, go on, glorying only in the Cross—
persevering, and fainting not. If now you
are called to be both warriors and builders,
your reward shall come at last. For, to you

joys without lessoning; and you shall dwell

What is to be Done with our Charley"
Yes---that is.the question The fact is,
there seems to be no place in heaven above,
or earth beneath, exactly safe and suitable,
except the bed. While he is asleep, then
our souls have rest—we know where he is
sect what he is about, and sleep is a gracious
state; but then he wakes up bright and
early, and begins tooting, pounding, hammer
ing, singing, meddling, and asking questions;
in short, overturning the peace of society
generally for about thirteen hours out of
every twenty.four.
Everybody wants to know what to do with
him—everybody is quite sure that he can't
stay where, they are. The cook can't have
him in the, kitchen, where he infests the pan
try to get flour to make paste for his kites, or
melt lard in the new sauce pan. If he goes
into the wood shed, he is sure to pull the
wood pile down upon his head. If he be sent
up to the garret, you think for a while that
you have settled the problem, till you find
what a boundless field for activity is at once
opened, amid all the packages, boxes, bags,
barrels, and cast-off rubbish there. Old let
ters, newspapers, trunks of miscellaneous
contents, are all rummaged, and, the very
reign of chaos and old night is instituted.
He sees endless capacities in all, and he is
always hammering something, or knocking
something apart, or sawing or planing, or
drawing boxes and barrels in all directions
to build cities, or lay railroad tracks, till
everybody's head aches quite down to the
lower floor, and everybody declares that
Charley must be kept out of the garret.
Then you send Charley to school, and hope
you are fairly rid of him for a few hours at
least. But he comes home noisier and more
breezy than ever, having learned of some
twenty other Charleys every separate resource
for keeping up a commotion that the super-
Rhondan t vitality of each can originate. He
can dance like Jim Smith—he has learned
to smack his lips like Joe Brownand Will
Biigge has shown him how to mew like a
cat, and he enters the premises with a new
warwhoop learned from Tom Evans. He
feels large and valorous; he has learned that
he is a boy, and has a general impression
that he is growieg immensely strong and
knowing, despises more than ever the con
ventionalities of parlor life; in fact, he is
more than' ever an interruption in the way of
decent, folks who want to be quiet.
It is true, that if entertaining persons will
devote themselves exclusively to him, read
ing and telling stories, he may be kept quiet;
but then this is discouraging work, for he
swallows a story as Rover does a piece of
meat, and looks at you for another and ano
ther, without the slightest consideration, so
that this resource is of short duration, and
then the old question comes back, What is
to be done with him ?
But after all Charley cannot be, wholly
shirked, for he is an institution—a solemn
and awful fact; and on the answer to the
question, Whatis to be done with him ? de
pends a future.
Many a bard, morose, bitter man has come
from a Charley tairned off and neglected;
many a parental heart ache has come from a
Charley left to run the streets, that mamma
and sisters might play on the piano and write
letters in peace. It is easy to 'ge.t.rid of
him ; there are fifty ways of doing' that.
He is a spirit thatoan be promptly laid, but
if not laid aright will come back, by and by,
a strew , man armed, when you cannot bend
him off at pleasure.
Mamma and sisters had better pay a little
tax to Charley now, than a terrible one by
and-by. There is something significant in
the old English phrase, with which our
Scriptures render us familiar, a lii.A.N•ohild
a mAx-child. There you have the word
that should ma , you think more than twice
before you ans .er the question, "What
shall we do with Charley?"
For to-day be sat your feet; to-day you
ik
can make him la gh, you can make him cry,
you can persuade coax., and turn him tolour
pleasure; you ea make his eyes fill and his
bosom swell with eeitals of good and noble
deeds; in short y n can mould him, if you
will take the trou•le.
But look ahead .ome years, when that lit•
tie voice shall rin g in deep bass tones; when
that small foot stll have a mates weight
and tramp; when rough beard shall cover
that, little round. .bin, and all the 'willful
strength of manhood fill out th 4 little form.
Then you would gi , e worlds for the key of
his beart, to be abl• to turn and guide him
to your will; but f you lose that key now
he is little, you tn. y search for it carefully,
with tears, some of ler day, and never find it.
Old housekeepe . have a proverb, that one
hour lost in the me Ring is never found all
day. It has a sib ficance in this case.
'One thing is toop noticed about Charl y
that, rude • and busyt and noisy as he is, and
irksome as carpet Hies and parlor ways are
to'him, he is still a iocial litttle'creature, and
wants to be where theyeet of the household
area A room ever flo well adapted for play,
cannot charm him at the hour when the
family is in reunion • he hears the voices in
the parlor,-and his pay-room seems desolate.
It may be warmed by a furnace and lighted
with gas, but it-is human warmth and light
he shivers for;'he yearns for the talk of the
family, which he so nuperlectly comprehends;
and he longs to. take:his playthings , down
and play by you, and is inceisaut-ly promising
that of the fifty improper things which he is
liable to do in the parlor, he will not commit
one if you let him stay there. , -
This instinct of the little one is Nature's
warning plea—God's admonition. O, how
many a mother who has neglected it becauae
it was irksome to have the child about, has
longed at twenty five to keep her son by her
side, and he would not. Shut out as a little
Arab; constantly told that he is noisy, that
he is awkward and meddlesome, and a plague
in general, the boy has found at last his own
company in the streets, in the highwa3.B and
hedges, where he runs till the day comes
when the parents want their son, and the
sisters their brother, and then they are scared
at the face he brings back to them, as he
comes all foul and smutty from the compan
ionship to which they have doomed him.
Depend upon it, if it is too ranch trouble to
keep your boy in your society, there will be
places found for him—warmed and lighted
with no friendly fires, where he who finds
some mischief still for idle hands to do, will
care for him, if you do not. You may put
out a tree and it will grow while you sleep,
but a son you cannot—you must take trouble
for him, either a little now or a great deal
by-and by.
...Let him stay with you at least ome por
tion of every day; bear his noise and ignor
ant ways. Put aside your book or work to
tell him a story, or show him a picture; de
vise still parlor plays for him, for he gains
nothing by heing allowed to spoil the comfort
of the whole circle. A pencil, a sheet of
paper, and a few patterns will sometimes keep
him quiet by you for an hour while you are
talking, or in a corner he may build a block
house, annoying pobody. If he does now
and then disturb you, and it costs you more
thought and care to regulate him there, bal
ance which is the greatest evil—to be dis
turbed by him now, or when be is a man.
Of all you can give your Charley, if you
are a good man or woman your presence is
the best and safest thing.
,God never meant
him,to do,w,ithout, you any
_more than chick
ens were meant to grow-without being
brooded.
Then let him have some place in your
house where it shall he no sin to hammer
and pound and make all the litter his heart
desires, and his various schemes require.
Even if you can ill afford the room, weigh
well between that safe asylum and one which,
if denied, he may make for himself in the
street.
Of all devices for Charley which we have,
a few shelves which he may dignify with
the name of the cabinet, is one of the best.
He picks up shells and pebbles and stones,
all odds and ends, nothing comes amiss ; ani
if you give him a pair of scissors and a little.
gum, there is no end of the labels he will
paste on, and the hours he may innocently
spend sorting and arranging.
A bottle of liquid lulu is an invaluable
resource for various purposes, nor must you
mind though he varnish his nose and fingers
and clothes, (which he will do of course) if
he does nothing worseo, A cheap paint .. .box;
and some engravingslo color, is another;
and if you will give him some real paint and
putty to paint and putty his boats and cars,
he is a made man.
All these things make trouble—to be Imre
they do—but Charley is Co make trouble,
that is the nature of the institution; yclu are
only to choose between safe and wholesome
trouble, and the, trouble that comes at last
like a whirlwind. God bless the little fel
low, and send us all grace to know what to
do with him.--biependent.

Cellar for a Farm-House.
There are few departments of the farm
house that are of more importance than the
cellar, yet it is perhaps more generally , neg
lected than• any other part of the premises;
being out of eight, it is left to take care of
itself, and will seldom -bear very close in.
spection. There should be a reform here,
and I will state what I consider the proper
mode of constructing a good and convenient
cellar.
After settling in your mind the proper
height of the cellar, (which should not be
less than seven, nor more than eight feet
high,) dig one foot deeper than you intend
the bottom when finished; then dig under at
the bottom all round from four to six inches,
and lay a course of flat stones projecting be
yond the outside of the main wall at least
four inches, to prevent rats from working
under. Lay your foundation in water•lime
mortar, carrying it up in the same as far as
you can be safe from frost, and the remainder
in quick.lime mortar. Lay the wall in two
distinct courses of stone, -and do riot allow
the inndr and outer stones to touch each
other, but fill the middle with mortar, to
make a solid wall. Make your windows with
double glass sashes, and you need have little
fear that frost will penetrate VI injure any
thing.
If cellar bottom is dry, porous, grav
elly soil, you do not need a drain; but that is
seldom the ease. The sure way is to dig a
drain from one side to carry off superfluous
water, and if wet, clayey bottom, lay drain
tile around or through it, so as effectually to
draw off all the water, and then cover the.
bottom between and over the tile with
small atones, to the depth of one foot, and
cover the whole with water-lime cement. In
situations where there is Do fall for draining,
the sides way be plastered with cement, to
keep out water as much as possible. Lay
timbers down while the mortar is soft, for
sills to be used for divisions, and make situ.
ple board partitions, as they are less expen
sive than brick, and answer equally well in
most case's.
The cellar should be divided into at least
four apartments, viz : a milk-room, fitted
with sheiks, for the milkr•pans; a store-room
for provisions, with a cupboard, &c.; a larger
apartment for the storage of fruit, cider bar
rels, &a.; and a dark room for potatoes and
other vegetables, as they keep better when
excluded from light. Have ample arrange
menus fur lighting and ventilating all the
apartments (except the dark one.) at all
times, and you have a place for everything
necessary - about a cellar, and vith hun little
expense after once built. A few other con
veniences might be added, if thought to he
of consequence; but the above is generally
sufficient for common purposes, and would
be a great- improvement over the majority in
use.- - Genesee Farmer.

Thin work was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr.

traced; and it is viewed as having an important bearing on
the world at large. The merit of the work is its impartial

VERMIFUGE
A N D
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to call the often
' tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. !Mane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE V ERIVIIFITGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK.
HEAD-ACHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or, after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.,
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTnERS )
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. IVPLanes Cele
brated Vermifuge and. Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address, all orders to
