WORMS! woRMs!! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are SO fatal to them worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other com
plant, they often produce alarming effects withoa
being suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves but by their Irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from part of the
body to another, winding themselves into large balls
and obstructing the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death. The best
remedy ever yet known is 2f s5iih P-a,,

DYSPEPSIA CURED.

BENNINGToN, VT. Dec. 5th, 1843.
Dear Sir Il wish to add my testimony to the host
Of others that you have in favor your valuable pills.
In the yeaL 1888, was attacked with that disagree
able complaint the Dyspepsia, which SO affected me
that could not take particle of food, without the
most unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations in my
chest, head and bowels. My chest was sore that
could not bear the slightest pressure without giving
me pain My health was most miserable; many
physicians told me they thought was in the consump
ton, and that if did not give up my business, and
change climate, could live but short time.
tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most skful physicians, but found no
permanent relief / became discouraged, gloomy,
sad, and sick of life and, probably ere this, should
have been in my grave, had not fell in with your
precious medicine friend of mine, who had been
sick OF the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills; but having tried most other medicines without
obtaining any relief had but little faith that your pills
would be of benefit to me but, at his earnest solicit
tation, | procured box and commenced taking
them.
The first box producedlitle no effect, and be-
gan to despond, for fear that your medicine would
prove like Others have taken; but my friends argued
that one was not fair trial, and purchased sec
ond and before had taken the whole box began to
experience change! the pain in my chest began to be
less painful, and my food did not distress much
as formerly. went on taking them until had taken
SIX boxes, and my Dyspepsia was GONE, and my ex-
pectation of early death vanished and felt like
:" new creature" / was then, and a
healthy man. have never since been troubled with
the Dyspepsia. have administered your pills to the
members ofmy family, and to my friends and in all
cases with good success. You can publish this if it
will be Of any use to you. am dear sir, truly yours,

COMPETITION IN CARRYING LETTERS.
LYsANDER SPooNER, gentleman of high
standing in Worcester, Mass. is at the
head of company formed for the pur-
pose of establishing lines for the transmits
sion of letters at cheap rates of postage
Throughout, all parts of The Union. 1t is
proposed that the highest rate for single
letters. not weighing more than half an
ounce, shall be six and quater cents to
any part of the country, while envelope
will be sold at a lower rate--twenty or
more for dollar. The persons engaged
in this enterprise contend that the laws of
Congress prohibiting private mails are
unconstitutional. and they are anxious to
have them tested on this point as speedily
as possible.

ENGLAND EXPORTING Wharf.-The
agricultural papers of Great Britain, say
that in five years, owing TO the great i'm
provemenss now going on there in the
culture of wheat, that England will ex.
port -four. The imports there. the last
two wears, have averaged but Ia 100000
bushels, and an improved culture of only
five per cent, will furnish all the home
consumption. The government have Ia
ken the matter in hand, and will encour-
agei it by bonnties. Should this prove
true, what will become of the great flour
market which the free trade advocates
promise Western farmers if they will a
dept the policy of free trade!--A home
marke, is the only one that can be depen-
ded upon.

Mr.. Weller Of Ohio, and Ihe reporter of the

on the opposition. which any decent man in
congress is ashamed 10 make himself. The
following from the N. Y. Aurora, shows that
Mr.. Weller is as great a coward as he is bully.

Shriver, tie report in circulation is, that VIM.
Cost johnson, as the friend of Mr. Shriver,
took friendly note to M. Weller-in plain
language, that Shriver challenged Weller
The latter it seems declined to meet his an
tagonist with pistols, expressing at the same
time preference for Bowie knives, TO which
Shriver consented; but the honorable gentle
man, it seems, also declined toeing the mark
with his own chico of instruments when he
was informed of the accommodating DISPOSE
ton of the PATRIOTS reporter.

no fear. If the committee, or the con.

for Yankee to speak well of his proper

under date of July %, 1913.
"You are right, so far as the Record

Of the baseuess here perpetrated. for the
sake of a very pal,ry partisan advantage.
Mr.. Clay was Speaker of the House ia
1916 and 1924, and of course did not
vote on the final passage OF the Tariff
bills ofthose years, but he was their ar

Now would the villain who could cut
off this last sentence from what precedes

apparent contradiction with what Mr..
Clay had before written TO Gen. Bledsoe

There is not a particle Of moral differ

which shuts out every hope of success
with You for third time. The fact is
you are too short minded TO run in con-

You were beat by man every way your
inferior, except in honesty. and by l50.-
coo. If you were thus badly beaten
then. on what ground is it presumed that
you can triumph now
The truth is, your nomination is the
sure torerunner of our defeat. 1t is no
use to conceal it. Your availability is
out of the question, and the party must
Unite to some other man, or suffer a to.
