There is no medium through
which disease so often ntlncka ( he

npttoho neglected , from the fnc
mnt rial inconvenience nmy beim-
mcdintoly felt from irrcgulnr notion
of the bowels. When there is
not regular notion the reten
tion of decayed and effete mat
ter , with its poisonous gases ,
soon poisons the whole system by
being absorbed into it , causing piles ,

mnny other serious nflecf ions. BUHr
DOCK BLOOD BITTERS will im-

Through a waUng light nnd shade ,
By the fitful sunbeams mode ,
Or through shimmering veil of rain ,
Danced down the fragrant lane ,
This bright maid who draws each lover
By a charm none may discover ,
Varying still from gray to gay ,
Thousand fancies In a day ,
Sing medleys with such trill
As the restless air must thrill ,
Wild with wanton , elfish glee ,
Sad with freakish misery ,
Now to tender tears beguiling
Then to mirth with witchery wiling ;
First she pouts nnd says you grieve her ,
Next she entrcati you not to Toavo her ,
Then HIO lures you ou to follow ,

Up the hill-slope , o'er the stream
ICippling soft with eilvcry gleam.
