The propbotie mossnge which was now sent begins in the form of art address to Senunoherib, oontentp- tunusly deserihing his vanity, haugh- tiness and impiety; this is followed by au address to ilezehiuit, with a pro- mise and a sign of deliverance for the nation; and finally the failure of the Assyrian invasin is announced, Thou hast prayed to nee.

Sad to say in that age of war and rapine the maidens of every coun- ry were regarded as among its chief censures, not to be developed in beau - y, intelligence, and virtue, as with us, but to be stolen and sold as cap - lees. This fact, taken together with Sennacher'ib's plans for the capture of Jerusalem, sheds light on the phrases here coupled together, "virgin daugh- ter of Zion," and "daughter of Jer- usalem." Zion was one of the hills on which Jerusalem was founded, and is often used as a name for the entire city. Laugh thee to sown. , , shak- en her head al, thee.

Belem* has fully established the fact that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres Iegated near the base of the brain. When the supply of nerve force has been diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we ere first conscious of a languor or tired and worn-out feeling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- -eeeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, a -weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart' disease, or siokheadache; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the differentorgansof the body to perform their reepeotive work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food audhealthgiver, is asatisfying success, a wondrous boon to tired, sick, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years ofdisoouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, ascientitc remedy, and in its wake follows :abounding health. It is unlike ail other remedies in that it is not designed to act on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centree, which are nature's little batteries, it sauces an inoteased supply of nervous energy to bo generated, which in its turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the maohiuery of the body, thereby en- abling it to perform perfeotly its dif- ferent functions, and without the slightest friction, If you have been reading of the re- markable euros wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of whioh we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in- vestigate them by correspondence, and beoome convinced that they are tru► to the letter.
