In speaking of this monthly, Dr. Dio Lewis says: “The 
IIeuald of Health delights us. The friends of Physio¬ 
logical Christianity must make it in circulation what you

gratified with its broad, genial, catholic spirit. It is pleas¬ 
ant to find The Herald lying side by side with The Atlan¬ 
tic and other first-class magazines on our New England 
center-tables. 
“With warm esteem, DIO LEWIS.”

Missouri Lands for Sale. 
Missouri Lands are very fertile, and situated in the 
heart of the Union ; they furnish an extraordinary opportu¬ 
nity for the people of the Northern States to acquire cheap, 
healthful, and productive farms. This can never occur 
again so near the centre of population. 
Norib Missouri contains about 25,000 square miles, or 
sixteen million acres, as desirable as any in the valley 
ol the* Mississippi. Through this garden of Missouri the 
Hannibal and St, Joseph Railroad extends, and all its lands 
lie near its track and numerous depots. The climate, so 
temperate and healthful, and a virgin soil so capable of pro¬ 
ducing almost every kind of vegetation, invite emigrants 
from the cold and bleak North to settle on our rich prairies. 
All a rc invited ! Let the industrious and enterprising, 
rich and poor, come and prosper. They should come at once 
and preoccupy this splendid country. 
Circulars, giving full and valuable particulars in Eng¬ 
lish and German, are supplied gratis to all wishing to come 
themselves, or to circulate to induce others to come also. 
A Sectional Map, showing the exact location of all 
our Railroad Lands, is sold at thirty cts. Address 
GEO. S. HARRIS, Land Commissioner Hannibal & 
St. Joseph R. Ii. Co., Hannibal, Mo.

labor of hoeing, and docs the work better than any other 
tool. Every Farmer and Gardener should have it. Circu¬ 
lars sent on application. Price $1.50, cash with the order.
