VALUABLE MEDICINE.
A.VIEDTSPEPTTC PILLS

A remedy for Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Piles, Nervous Headache, CostiyenessS
&c.
MO medicine has been found so efficacious in
In all grades Of Dyspepsia, from the slightest
rregularity Of the digestive organs, to the most
confirmed and obstinate cases. The composition
Of the Anti-Dyspeptic Pills is entirely new and
unknown to medical practitioners, although this
preparation has been employed many years by its
inventor, with almost universal success
For the removal of obstinate costiueness. the
pill can be recommended as incomparabIy more
effectual than any of the ordinary prescriptions.
and its exhibition has the great advantage OF being
attended with no Inconvenience or exposure.
Piles. being connected with Indigestion and
costiveness, are certainly and speedily removed
by the pills. Diarrhea, .NerUous Headache,
Heart baTn, or acidity Of the stomach, Hybo-
chondria, Hysteria, and many other complaints
have been successfully treated with the Anti
Dyspeptic Pills.
For more particular details of the nature and
exhibition of this valuable medicine, those con-
cerned are referred to the paper accompanying

Singular occurrence. Monday
week, stranger crossing the Niagara
from Qneenston to Lewiston, on the ice,
leading his horse, when two thirds Of the
distance across turned his head to see his
horse, when behold be had the bride
only in his hand. Being only short
distance below the a!av:;iE hole, and per
suaded nothing but the arch demon him
self could have SO suddenly caused il to
vanish, he ran with astonishing agility the
residue of the distance to the American
shore. The fact was, the ice ia several
places had parted for or feet and caus-
ed chasms from Is TO 20 feet deep, down
to the water, and those places had been
filed up by the ferryman sufficiently vide
TO admit sieishs crossing with safety this
person must have crossed very near the
edge Of one Of them, and the bride being
probably slightly placed on the horses
head, slipped off, when the horse fell and
disappeared.

IMPROVED METHOD OF DRESSING FLAX.
Extract from letter from The Hon. Rich.

phia Agricultural Society, 10 mem.
Der Of the Senate Of Pennsylvania.
Belmont, near Philadelphia,
Jan. 81, 1921.
" We bought Of workman in Market
street, Hill & Brado's machine for dres.
sing flax on the dry system. | wish ii
we're at Harrisburg, that it might be ex.
hibited TO the members from flax counties,
particularly TO those from the west, where
| have seen the best crops of fax, | had
ever beheld. We have only made small
essays on our machine; but from what /
have seen, am satisfied, that two boys
one 10 feed it and the other to turn The
winch, will comb, break and switch more
flax, and better done, than six men ia the
old way could do in week. We have
not yet the hackie, but we will have one.
No rotting with dew or water is necessa-
ry. The dry flax from the field answers
best, aud is stronger ia fibre-greater 10
quantity, and 10 every way superior to
the ro.ted article. / have stroug hopes
that this mode Of flax dressiog will Danish
the old laborious, and hazardous and te.
dious process, which has heretofore dis.
Outraged the raising Of FAX /; if so, shall
be amply rewarded, in the advantages
others gaiI."
