Doctor S. H. p. LEE, New London, Conn.
DEAR S1R-It is upwards of twenty years that
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
", and always found them efficient purgatve in al
most every description of disease, and believe they
we'd many long doctors bill by their early and timely
use never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects un few months past;
and having, since them been sadly disappointed in
y instance of using them began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufsc.
ture to mercenary and unsithful hands. Under this
impression, I accidentally advertisement of
yours in New York newspaper, designating spurious
limitations from your manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
and that in no instance the limitations signed with
pen and ink, although perfect copy in every other
respect. Finding those had without this test, be.
gan to suspect that all not fair in medicine. as
we'll as in politics. and called several of our apohe
carries for your pills, with your written signature
found many without this test but none with it, until
came to the Aessrs Keers' who assured they had
them direct from you. procured box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them had always
experienced, and much rejoiced on finding my
sci fin ssposseiUn of medicine so highly prize, that
that cannot, in JUSTICE refrain from giving you this
information.
az To avoid the imposition ofcounterfeits and spu
rious limitations, related above the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box, and if signed foot. in my own handwriting, i'm
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine
and prepared by mel but it osLr the printed name i:
affixed, they spurious and to be avoided.

A BULL CHASE.

On Monday afternoon, between and 6 o'clock, the sober inhabitants of Ches- nut street were startled with a general out cry of clear the road there he comes' and on looking, sure enough ks did come. A bull or an OK, about three years old, had taken upon himself the responsibility of promcnading Chssnut street without an at tendant, and he made clear work of it as far as he went. Near Fifth street the cloak of gentleman, blowing out into the wind, attracted the attention of the animal. and he flew at it with singular grace. The owner slipped the fastenings, and left the garment. After single toss of the affair the bull pursued his way downward, but was soon attracted by the comedy appear ance of black man breaking coal. The beast rushed in upon the heap, making a glorious clattering with his hoofs. The regular coal breaker, however, not relish- ing partnership in his business, dropped his hammer and withdrew from the con- cern. By this time, the shoutings of the citizens had infused new fire into the veins ofthe bull, and hetook up his line of march at rapid gate. Hurrat, shouted the boys - there he comes,' said woman --aIld on came the bull, believing likea sroar- ing lion, peeling it, down the street like a streak of lightning. his tail cooked right in to the air like flag stai, and his head fly ing about like politician looking for the strongest side.
