DIR. SWAYNE'S
ANTIBILIOUS PILLS.

From the ten thousand culogies past upon the
different kinds of Pills which are exposed in the
prints, and the absolute falsehoods which are
told about the various diseases which they are to
cure, and mostly by tho.e who have no knowl-
edge of the science of medicine, either by theory
by practice, to all tho various diseases to
which the human family are subjects too pre-
posterous for any thinking mind to believe; the
whole object of the vender or quack must be to
name all the various ills, IN order to catch ALL
none other would have the hardihood to i'm
pose such deception on credulous community.
1t would be quite as laudable in me, Judging from
the virtues Of the above Pills in comparison with
others, that should say they would cure every
disease which exists un Ter the sun; but cannot,
will not do it,-although believe their virtues
are quite equal to any, and superior to most; and
lido know that our most popular physicians IRE
in the constant use of them, and that THEIR eY-
pericnce and NINE for series of years, whilst en-
gagged in the practice of the profession, have pro-
we'd their great virtues and beneficial effects, Of
all Others is the best teacher and safest guido.
The above nan ed Pills are suitable in all cases
where gentle purgative is required to exert a
salutary influence throughout the system. The
regular dose is fiom to 4,-may be taken at
bed time if most convenient As there is much
difference as to the amount of medicine required
to produce an operation, some might find one or
two sufficient where other individuals might re-
quire double that number, and even the same
person may require more at one time than at an

This dye is in form of powder which in plain
matter of fact may be applied to the hair over
night, the first night turning the lightcst rcd or
grey hair to dark brown, and by repeating a Sc
cond or third night to bright jet black. Any
person may therefore, with the least possible
trouble, keep his hair any dark shade or perfect
black; with positive assurance that the powder,
ifapplcd to the skin, will not color it. There is
no trouble in removing it from the hair, as in all
powders before made. By an occasional applica-
ton, person turning grey will never be known
to have grey hairs. Directions complete with the
article. There is no colorng in this statement,
as one can easily test.

THAT sPLAIN MAN."-Weto took occa-


sion last week hastily to advert TO an article over
the signature "a Plain Man," which appeared in
tho Easton (Md.) Star, and which was copied
into the Democrat" of this place. Judging from
its vituperativc rancor we denied that it was
written by Wing, as it purported to have been.
The "star" of this week, copies a part of our ar
tclc or the purpose of contradicting it, and 're-
asserts that "a Plain Man" is Whig-"an ar
dent and devoted Wing. After the rc-assertion
OF tho "Star' we may not deny that he ever was
Wing, but we pronounce him to be no Wing
now. Il Wing indeed! As WELL after Arnold
had attempted to bargain away the liberty of his
country, might it have been asserted that he was
ali American patrIot-"an ardent and deyotedn
patriot. As WE'LL after Iscariot had given the
bctraying kiss, might 1t have asserted that he was
aChrstian-"an ardent and devoted Christian.
Wing indeed We are bold TO rc-assert that
neither "a Plain Man. nor any other man, hold
ing such principles as he has put forth, is wing;
we shake such men otl--they have no affinity to
The Wings to which we belong
But the "Star" says, he is satisfied that "a
tlain Man" has touchc us in the "niccst point"
Aye, we arc so touched SANDER the worthless
OF our nation-bclic our Washington, belle our
Franklin, belle our Clay, and we feel it kcenly-
we are touched in the ''nicest POINT" and by the
services they have rendered their country, we
will not stand still and hear them villifcd by any
known man, much less by a nanleless pretendey
We said last week and VIC reiteratc that "the
man who asserts that Henry Cluy's ear is deaf
to the calls PATRIOTISM that his heart is nscn-
slblo to generous sympathes,' and that he would
crush beneath his footsteps the brightest hopes of
the nation to CRAFTY his ambition, offers an in
suit to Americans that cannot be brooked"-yca
he "overshoots" the mark, and by the disgusting
grossness of his ISLANDERS, makes the arrows, he
lain wished to be fatal, sllaftless-pointlcss.

PERIODICALS,

BALTIMORE MONTHLY VIsITER We have re-
ccved the May No. of this periodical, but from
want of time have not thoroughly examined it.
We are well pleased with as much of it as we
have read, and glancing over the contents, we
judge it is all useful and interesting. The 'sWash-
erwomah's BILL" by T. S. Arthur, contains
good lecture. This No. has wood engraved
likeness of "Boz," and one Ga male and lemale)
illustrating "Sunday walks in May"
We spoke somewhat against the cut that APP
peared in the April No., because it seemed to be
"burlesque upon country youths,'' (there was
no mention made of its foreign origin in the
work) and being ourself of the tribe Of country
mcn-being able to boast ofthe title of a "young
flrmer,'' we are sensitive to- and will not silent
" hear, any attempt to ridicule class, who are
as honorable and as noble souled, as any in the
country.
Below, we append the reference made to our
remarks by the editor, and his explanation in re-
gard to the appearance the cuts. His allusion
TO the preference given to things foreign is too
true.
Gone of our exchanges on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, made wonderful to do about the cut
accompanying the April issue, and pronounced it
a hurlesque upon country youths. Could he not
see that the personages represented, were not
Americans They were english peasants So
are those represented this month. Surely one
cannot be expected to give anything relating to
our own country, in the face of the fact that
everything foreign is preferred to that of home or
igin. "London 'Eurepean"-a the words
that take. When, therefore readers come more
to relish representations of home-scenes, editors
may be expected to use them. But, we fear, the
reason why those of rude peasantry, do not
please, is The fact that we have them represented
as peosantfy, and not as city-gentlemen and gen.
tlewoman. We prefer giving their bonncts and
hats as they are-and we think they are about as
pretty as the fashions of the present day."
We recommend it as good and cheap litera-
ry work. The price it will be recollcctcd is
Sl.5o for a single copy per annum, or copies
for $500.
