article in its composition uutriendiy to the human
constitutions; being entirely a vegetable extract;

feet of a gent laxative about the time half bot
tie full has been taken-in consequence of which,
there is part of the medicine left to lingor in
the bowels to cause distractions, and other evils,
arising from the of many of the remedies
offered for the of this affection. 1t has been
used also preventive, by many who sub.
cct to periodical recurrence OF the Chills, and it

! AVS LlNlMENT-No Fiction-;'his ex-
j N traordnary chemical composition, the result
OF science, and the invention o. a celebrated medi
cal man, the introduGt" n OF which to the public
was invested with the solemnlty of deathbed
bcqucst, has since gained reputation unparalleled
fully sustaining the correctness of the larnented
DR. Grdleys last coniessol6- that g he dared not
die without giving to postcrlty the beueht of his
knowledge this subject and he therefore
b,queathed to his friend and attendant, Solomon
Hays, the secret of his discovery.
1t is used in the principal hospitals, and
the private practice in our country, first and most
certainly for the cure OF the Piles, and SO exien
sivey and effecually to battle creduiity, unless
where its effects are witnessed Externally in tho
following COMPLAINTS
For Dropsy-Creating extraordinary absorption
at once.
All Swellings-Reducing them in few hours
Observation-Disclosures or Chrome, giving quick
Sore Throat-By Cancers. Ulcers or Colds
Group and Whooping Cough-External!y, and
over the Chest.
All Bruises, Sprains, and Burns--Curing in a
few hours.
Sores and Ulcors-Whetncr fresh or long
standing, and fever
Its operations upon adults and children in reduc
ing rheumatic sweings, and loosening coughs and
tightne.s of the chestby relaxation of the parts,
has been surprising beyond conception. The
common remark of those whs have used it in the
Piles is F." 1t acts like charm"
THE Pill ES-rhe price, 81 is refunded TO any
person who will use bottle of Hays Llniment
for the Piles, and return the empty bottle without
being cured, These the positive orders of the
proprietor to the Agents; and out of many thou
sands sold, not one has been unsuccessful.
W. might insert certificates 10 any length but
prefer that those who sell the article, should e4'
hbit the original to purchasers,

splendid engraved wrapper, on which is my name
and also that Of the Agents.

GOMPoUND TONIC MIXrURE.-A speedy
~ and certain euro for the Fever and Ague,
rcmlttent and intermittent tevers; prepared from
the original recipe Used with eminent and uni
versal success in 1892, by persons of the highest
responsibility in this city, stated in the annexed
certificates.
This medicine is highly recommended, and has
been extensively used in the above diseases with
such distinguished success, that the proprietor of
the recipe has been induced TO offer it to the pub
lie i'll It's present form in the hope that it may be
the means OF relieving many of those who are
suffering under the scourge of country. 1t is
medicine possessing great virtue, and when used
according TO the directions has never failed of
etfocting cure, in the most obstinate stage
of the disorder. 1t is not at all disasrceable, and
persons of the weakest stomach, and children may
lake it with impuny. 1t strengthens the digestive
organs, creates an appetite, and seldom requires
more than one, in obstinate cases, two bottles
to effect cure. There is neither mercury nor
arsenic in the medicine, nor any thing Injurious
to the human constitution. The proprietors are
well convinced of its efficacy, that they agree
to refund the price of every bottle which has been
takan in accordance with the directions and has
not effected perfect cure of the fever & ague.
