'l e-t"AN az '''~
OF Nam and Market Streets Colum-
bus, by Il. A. SMITH,
rkNIlE unparalleled reputation which Peters
n Pills have acquired as q Medical Resto-
r5tivo, Is the most unqucstlonab.e proof that
can be given of their immense importance to
the afflicted, in almost every class of diseases.
The number of letters received from patients
recovering through their means rs really prodi-
gious, and the complaints which they have
cured are almost as varied as they are numer-
GUS But still there are some in which they
are more especially beneficial than in others T;
and among those may DO named The too often
fatal complaints of the stomach and bowels,
such as Colo, Flatuleuce, and Indigestion, for
which they are not only a certain but an i'm
mediate cure
Il is well known that from the disarrange.
mout Of the stomach and bowels, arise nine
tenths az all the maladies of adult aud declining
life that il the foundation Of Flamency, Spas
mode Pains, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite,
&c, and that those in their turn give birth to
DrOpsy, Liver Complaint, Consumption, and
habiual lowness Of spirits; therefore Peters
Pills being the very best medicine which has
ever been discovered for the incpent diseases
of the intestinos, are necessarily the surest
preventives OF those dreadful, and also general
disorders which embitter mature life, and drag
so many millions TO untimely graves.
Inspeaking thus, DR.. Peters arrogates moth
ing TO himself that has not been conceded by
the public, He is no needy quack or unknown
Spectator, who comes before the world as his
own herald and witness but is placed in a
responsibility of situation by the patronage
which he has enjoyed for wears, and which is
increasing to ar extent Unprecedented in the
annals OF medicine, that makes him careful to
assert nothing which is not borne out by the
most ntallble proof, and hence he does not fear
10 be put TO the test in any thing which he
has promised respecting his Pills.
DR.. Peters is most happy to be able to state
on the authority ola great number of regular
physicians, that wherever his Vegetable Pills
have been introduced, they have almost SUPER
ceded the adoption Of mercurial experiments,
Tor their peculiar faculty for sweetening the
blood, and stimulating il to expel all noxous
Juices and in giving strength and tone 20 the
nerves, prevents disease from occurring that
strength which must be got under, if at all, by
dangerous remedies.

the palace saloons. The Presidents grounds
tain about twenty acres. The reforners have,
therefore, expended on what they ME pleased To
call "improDement,' an average Of 81 A36 10 per
acre, or So ,O65 6S per annum since the newly in
vented rule Of retrenchment and reform has been
put into successful operation.
During the same period these Democratic reform
ers have expended for furniture for the Presidents
domse, the additional sum of SEVENTY THOU
SAND SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOL
LARS; and this, too, after they had contended
that the White House had been furnished by John
Quincy Adams in style of "regal magnifccnce."
Mr.. Ogle gives list of the nets of Congress, in
support of this statement, which may be examined
by The increduous 1t will not he possible give
all the details IN this article.
A large portion of the furniture purchased with
this money, as shall presently show, was ImpoR-
TED FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES expressly for the
use of our Democratic American President, and
nearly all of IL was Of foreign manufacture. And
il appears that this furniture purchased IN III
rect osoiatton Of ioao-for Mr.. Oge quotes tho Cd
section of an act Of Congress- passed on The 22d Of
May, 1885, which is in these words.
'ALL FURNITURE PURCHASED FOR THE
USE OF THE PRESIDENTS HOUSE SHALL
BE, AS FAR AS PRACTICABLE, OF AMERI
CAN OR DOMESTIC MANUFACTURER
Now let US see how well Mr.. Van Buren, observ
ed this imperous law of Congress. Within ten
months after he entered the White House, ne
pended the sum of 1905 SIS, in making improve
ments in the Blue Elipucal Saloon, which was
handsomely furnished before Mr.. Ogle proves
this expenditure by an original voucher, dated De-
cember 10, 1887, containing the bill and receipt of
