PREPARED ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION OF

Prof. E. N. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass.

There seems to be no difference of opinion in high medical authority of the value of phosphoric acid, and no preparation has even been offered to the public which seems to happily meet the general want as this.

It is not nauseous, but agreeable to the taste.

No danger can attend its use.

Its action will harmonize with such stimulants as are necessary to take.

It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only.

Prices reasonable Pamphlet giving further particulars mailed free on application.

SKIN HUMORS

CAN BE CURED BY

GLENN’S SULPHUR SOAP.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 1883.
_Mr. C. N. Crittenton_:

DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to the good your
Sulphur Soap has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been
troubled with a skin humor resembling salt rheum. I have spent
nearly a small fortune for doctors and medicine, but with only
temporary relief. I commenced using your “Glenn’s Sulphur Soap”
nearly two years ago—=used it in baths and as a toilet soap
daily. My skin is now as clear as an infant’s, and no one would
be able to tell that I ever had a skin complaint.= I would not
be without the soap if it cost five time the amount.

Yours respectfully.
M. H. MORRIS

LICK HOUSE, San Francisco, Cal.

The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn’s Sulphur Soap will eliminate poisonous Skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS HAVE FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it will banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS and SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely certain. For this reason ladies whose complexions have been improved by the use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET APPENDAGE. The genuine always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON, 115 Fulton street, New York, sole proprietor. For sale by all druggists or mailed to any address on receipt of 30 cents in stamps, or three cakes for 75 cents.

THE

Religious Herald

ENTERED ITS

FORTY-FIRST YEAR

January 1st. 1883, aiming as heretofore to be a safe and valuable aid in the family to an intelligent and practical knowledge of the world, and how to live in it. It will urge the claims of religion upon all, not forgetting the little children; and will discuss the practical questions of the day with candor; advocating earnestly the cause of temperance; speaking freely on all subjects, literary, educational, civil, social or financial, and aiming to speak wisely. Its reviews and articles, correspondence and comments, notes and summaries of news, will be carefully edited. It will seek to be useful to all whom it can reach and will deem it ample reward for much hard labor, if it can in any way serve the cause of Christ; having a special love for the old historic churches of Connecticut, commonly called Congregational, but rejoicing to be a co-worker with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ, and seek to bless and save men. We ask the co-operation and patronage of all who are in sympathy with our aim, and hope for an increase of subscribers, such as will enable us to work more efficiently in the field we are striving to cultivate.

TERMS: $2.10 cts. per year.

TO ADVERTISERS:—8 cts. per line; $18 an inch one year.

For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.

Of all imitations ’tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear;
For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.
