ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS!
~ NO .WERCURYLN0

~
Fl 7 is well known that diseases often arise from
IL foul and disordered state of the stomach and
bowels; and if this condition is promptly attended
to and relieved, that health will be Immediately
restored. And nothing more efiectual can be re-
sorted to than two or three good active doses Of
purgative medicine; and there is nothing more
suitable than pills of a proper character. The
public have in these vegetable pills the article pre-
sented 10 them, which possesses the qualities cal
culated to render the most important service in
cleansing the alimentary canal; they will operate
with sufficient force. and still with ease safety;
there is no ingredient in them that will render
them dangerous as TO taking cold, cause any
particular care in diet necessary. They have been
used by the proprietor with abundant success in
an extensive medical practice for many years.
He can therefore confidently recommend them
TO the public patronage 1t is not vainly pretend
ed that they will cure all diseases, but they will
answer the purposes for which they are offered as
well as any purgative medicine that can be produ
ced; and by being taken when that description oil
medicine is needed, may save person from threa'
tened disease at a very small expense and without
loss of time. A person can take them without
any interruption of his customary employment.
OF Price only Is cents box.
Recommendation.
We do hereby certify that we have used Doctor
Spencer's vegetable pills; and found them safe
and active purgative, attended with beneficial re-
suits, and we therefore recommend them to notice

on last Monday week. We may say it was
a proud day for :he wings of Marshall
County. The number and respectability of
the delegates, and the unanimity which pre-
vailed, manifested the deep interest felt, and
determination to leave no honorable effort
untr led, to redeem our State from the hands
OF the S4bterraneans. One hundred dele
gates composed The meeting, who came with
iuIIknowledge of the choice oftheir neigh
bors, and prepared to represent their party
fully and fairly. The nominees were selec-
ted by four ballotings, one chosen upon each
baIIoting We hoist the ticket this week,
In the full confidence that our candidates
will receive the entire and undivided sup.
port of the Wings of Marshall.
The meeting was addressed by the chair,
and several other gentlemen. and the utmost
harmony and enthusiasm animated them
throughout. The convention was held in
the Court House. in the presence o. large
number Of spectators of both parties. and all
saw for themselves. that every thing was
conducted fairly and openly. Who tina,
