AIM AND WORK.

To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted CHINESE in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy toward the INDIANS.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and _larger_ contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the strong.

2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to accommodate the increasing number of students; MEETING HOUSES for the new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and pious, for these churches.

3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.

HORSFORD’S

ACID PHOSPHATE.

FOR DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION, NERVOUSNESS, DIMINISHED VITALITY, URINARY DIFFICULTIES, ETC.

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 ever been offered to the public which seems to so 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 times 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.
