ALEXANDRIA, Tuesday Evening,

May 81, 1884. :
Gentlemen: | have this moment returned
home, al too late an hour, and too much indls-
posed, to avail myself of your polite invitation,
q to dinner given this evening, at O'Clock, in
celebration of the triumphant result of the re-
cent elections in Virginia" Allow me to re.
turn through you, very grateful acknowledge
ments to those of the citizens of Alexandria in
whose name, you have presented to me this va
llued token of their respectful consideration. Al
low me- too, to request that you will convey to
them the assurance of my unfeigned regret at
being unable to minge with them upon this fes-
tive occasion, to which their patriotic devotion
to their Parent State has given rise. The re-
suit of the Virginia elections is, indeed, trl-
umph, worthy Of every demonstration of JOY,
as well on the part the citizens of Alexandria,
as of their neighbors and brethren of Virginia.
1t is glorious triumph-a triumph of truth; OF
principle; of the Constitutions well may
the anthems of liberty be rung from one eX-
tremity Of this blessed Union to the other, in
commemoration Of the happy event. It's, l
trust. the commencement of an era, when the
people of Virginia will look to their own affairs,
and not submit them exclusively to the control
of political achymists, whose trade it is, to con-
vert their opinions into gold They have CON-
menced the business of reform" by casting off
the 6 Reformer" who has q reformed" the Re-
public into "a Despotism.
But, gentlemen, you have done me the honor
TO request that would send you sentiment,
should be unable to attend in person. This
now do. with very great pleasure. On the next
page you will find one, which is suggested at
the moment that subscribe myself, most res
pectfully your obedient servant

MACH PILLS,


YEyHE only medicine ever yet offered to the
4 public from which radical and perma-
nent cure can be obtained of all those chronic
states of arrangement of the digestive organs,
constituting that complicated disease, termed
Dyspepsia.
The duty which the proprietor owes to socl-
ETY., has induced him to adopt this mode OF CIR
culation, in order to give it greater range OF
publicity, that it may thereby become more ex-
tensivey useful than it could possibly be, We're
it confined within the private practice OF any
individual whatever. The diseases consequent
on morbid state Of the stomach and bowels,
are numerous, complicated, and, Tor the most
part, very difficult of cure.
The proprietor of these Pills is happy in hav-
inc it in his power to offer to all those who are
afflicted with the above complaint, medicine
i'm which the most unlimited confidence may be
placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may
be given to children and patients OF the most
delicate habit In every CHRONIC case OF stomach
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state OF that organ,
lin which case no medicine whatever can do
any good these pills will effect a certain and
speedy cure, after the stomach OF the patient has
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and
drenched with all the bitter potions that art
could invent, to no purpose They will most
effectnally remove all sourness of the stomach,
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor
recting that morbid state of the secretons which
gives rise to it; and at the same time that they
are giving tone to the organs Of digestion, they
will renovate and give new life and vigor tothe
whole system. GEO. SMITH, Proprietor g
