It causes Headache, Mental De- pression, impairs the Sight and Hearing, destroys the Appetite, and, when long continued, causes Enlargement of the Liver, Inflammation of the Bowels, and Piles. Constipation is speedily cured by Ayer’s Pills. For a number of months I was troubled with Costiveness, in conse- quence of which I suffered from Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered liver. My eyes also troubled me. I was compelled to wear a shade over them, and, at times, was unable to bear ex- posure to the light. I was entirely CURED BY USING three boxes of Ayer’s Pills. I have no hesitation in pronouncing this medicine to be the best cathartic ever made. — James Eccles, Poland, Ohio.

Wong Chin Foo, who will be re- membered as the interpreter in the Chinese murder case in this city, con- | tributes a remarkable article to the j current number of the North Ameri- can, of which the following is an ab- stract: Born and raised as a heathen, I learned and practiced its moral and religious code; and acting thereun- der I was useful to myself and oth- ers. My conscience was clear and my hopes as to future life were un- dimmed by distracting doubt. But when about 17 I was transferred to the midst of our showy Christian civilization, and at this impossible period of life Chistianity presented itself to me at first under its most alluring prospects; kind Christian. friends became particularly anxious for my material and religious wel- fare, and I was only too willing to know the truth. I had to take a good deal for granted as to the influence of the Bi- ble—as is necessary to do—to Chris- tianize a non-Christian mind; and I even advanced so far under the spell of my would be soul-savers thet I seriously contemplated becom- ing the bearer of heavenly tidings to my benighted heathen people. But before qualifying for this high mission, the Christian doctrine I would teach had to be learned, and here on the threshold I was bewil- dered by the multiplicity of Chris- tian sects, each one claiming a mo- nopoly of the only narrow road to heaven. I looked into Presbyterianism, on- ly to retreat shudderingly from a be- lief in a merciless long foreordained most of the help- less human race to an eternal hell. To preach such a doctrine to intelli- their minds doubts or my sanity, if trines, but found so many sects therein, of different “shells,” warring over the merits of cold-water initia- tion and the method and time of using it, that I became disgusted with such trivialities; and the ques- tion of close communion or not, only impressed me that some were very stingy and exclusive with their bit of bread and wine, and others a lit tle less so. Methodism struck me as a thunder-and lightning religion— all profession and noise. Youstruck it, or it struck you, like a spasm— and so you “experienced” religion. The Congregationalists deterred me with their starchiness and self- conscious true-goodness, and their desire only for high-toned affiliates. Unitarianism seemed all doubt, doubting even itself. A number of other Protestant sects based on some novelty or eccentrici- ty—like Quakerism—I found not worth a serious study by the non- Christian. But on one point this mass of Protestant dissension cor- dially agreed, and that was in a united hatred of Catholicism, the older form of Christianity.
