QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC.
TIVE NOSTRUMS.


THE united testimony Of Physicians, throughout,
i the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Peters's Vegetable Pills are the only true Hegeiobis
Pills, which will stand the test Of Andiiz ration
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge them
TO the notice of those who have been in the habit Of
using as Cathartics or Aperients, the destructive and
irratating Quack Pills, so generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers of the vital
functions and murderous agents, even TO the most
hale. IL is true, most Of them produce q purgstivs
effect, and sometimes transient relief, but in most
cases they injure the digestive organs, and an habit
ual resort TO them must terminate in confirmed dys.
pepsia.
II is true, that Cahartic and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest discrimination
should always be observed in the selection, and
ifthis be done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR. Peters
has made il his study for several years, and feels
proud TO say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his Pills are TO sn.
persede the necessity Of a frequent recourse TO inju.
rious purgaiives, ard TO offer u medicine sqfs, e tain,
aud pleasant in its operation.

CERTIFICATES.


Five of Pamunky's colts were trained last spring'
all of which were winners-one of them trained IN
my stable, Martha Beckerton, winner ofthree colts
stakes. In the fall she was matched against Col.
Whites favorite FLY by Goliah, for $500. and re-
ceived forfeit Of $3.50. A few days after, she ran a
four mile race at Warrenton Springs, against Mr..
Kendal's Master Henry and Mr.. Lufborough's
mare-she won the first heat, lost the second and
third by not more than three feet, running twelve
miles in the mud, carrying two pounds over weight,
and badly rode. The next week she ran over the
Jefferson County Course, two mile heats in very
bad order, and was beaten by Molinera, drumming
second, a nag of extraordinaly speed.
His two year Odds, trained last fall, were of such
promise as to induce the owners TO enter them in
the largest stakes in lower Virginia. ! have a FLY

We do certify, in the spring of 1882, ut Major
Thomas Doswell's, we saw a trial Of two miles and
then a single mile, with Baynrd and Pamunky; the
former was considered a ~frst-rate two mile horse;
%Pamunky beat Bayard the two miles, running in
the rear II miles, in half an hour after, they ian a
mile, and Pamunky beat Bayurd a few feet. We
believed Pamunky 10 be a better horse at that time
than Bayard. The two miles were run in BIN. SIS,
and the mile in In. SIS. We believe Pamunky
was injured in that trial, and in a few weeks after
broke down.

to promote the agitation of The question at

been, that well.bred mares have been re.

This recommendation, we understand,

luton on The subject of silk, by some CON-
p.tent person well acquainted with the his.
tory Of lis culture. and particularly It's pro-
gress in this country.
The annual fairs of this Association will
be held in "a ly part of October. 1t is an
occasion which will congregate the friends
of Industry from all parts Of the United
States in numbers that surpass any other
celebration, because the friends Of invention,
art ard industry from every department will
then be collected. The Fairs of The Insti-
tute afford not only magnificent exemph~
6cation Of the condition Of the arts in oar
country at stated periods. but their progress
from year 10 year my also be thereby dis.
linct'y noted. The culiureof silk has become
engrossing subject. The enormous prices
which the mulberry has for sometime past
commanded, the intensity ofthe iulerest which
has occupied thepubiic mind, show in rela.
ton 20 this commodity. On the coming ami.
versary there is no doub, will be brought to-
gether for competition, all the best varieties
which the country has produced. This
will also be a & ting occasion for comparison
ofthr different plants for feeding the worm,
as we'll rs for the best means of converting
the fibre which i, affords into fabrics Of
beauty and utility. Whatever has been
learned tha, will conduce TO the successful
culture Of this precious commodity, will be
communicated and spread far and wide m
the country, and soon silk will rank among
our most valuable staples.
Some one should be selected to deliver
the address, who combines practical knowl-
edge with learning. and we think ofno one
lat oil events in our Slate) answering this
description more perfectly than the Hon.
Ambrose Spencer. He has for number
Of years devoted much Of his time 10 the
subject, and has at command fund Of
knowledge, derived from experience, obser-

clination, leisure and patriotism would in
duce him, if invited, to embody and spread

"But it is no. in the difference between
