THE TRUTH SOMETIMES NOT FOUND OUT
UNTIL TOO LITE

OUCH is often the case in regard to persons taking
- medicine They are induced by plausible
soning false representation aud DOCTRINES to employ
medicines that SO far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-
toms destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system and bring on a gradual decline, terminating
in death; previous to the fatal termination, however,
(but unfortunately too atc) the truth is found out
that the pills, mixtures, nc they have been taking
were composed Of the most powerful and dangerous
ingredients, prepared too bypersons knowing nothing
of disease or the nature of the medicines they
mend, depending altogether upon the "gepcral doc
trine of such imposters," that their medicines will
kill or curen Be advised, then, if you find il ne
cessary to take some medicine for purifying the blood
and cleansing the bowels to take nothing but DR..

RILLA BLOOD PILLS, the ONLY pills containing

best as well as the most ecctual that be taken.
Old and young, at all times, without regard to
weather, may take them without fear Of taking cold
and without restraint from occupation usual course
of living. Upwards of 1000 certificates have been
published various times, of their efficacy. More
than 900 boxes have been sold in Philadelphia in
twelve months. These facts go to prove their value
or so many never would be sold in so short time,
in place where they are manufactured; this no ".
ever, arises in part from the fact that the manufac.

The moon is shining silver bright,
The stars with glory crown the night;
That same old coon up in tree,
Grins at the Loco nominee.
Get out of the way, get out of the way,
Get out of the way, the country's rising,
For HARRY CLAY and FRELINGHUvsEN
In Baltimore that motley crew,
OF every shade and every hue,
Have, after much debate, agreed
To run most unworthy steed
Get out of the way, &c.
Though once they sang, "Oh! Rumpsey
Dumpsey,
COL johnson killed Tecumseh,"
Abasdoned in this shameful way,
He'd doubtless like to run with Clay.
Get out. of the way, &c.
And Cass, who cringed and fawned in state,
To be the party candidate,
In future days, we all agree,
Should write his name without the G.
Get out Of the way, &c.
Calhoun, from party strife remote,
Obtained but one CH1vALRIC vote;
AT such time, what can he do,
But 20 for Ty and Texas too. .a
Get out of the way, &c.
Alas for little Matty Van,
Not even now the Enquirer's man;
You can't get in, by hook or crook, IL
So trot back home to Undertook. E rH
Get out of the way, &c.
To match our Harry of the West t,-
They bring out one they call their best, s
But whom the people will revoke, Us
The only rhyme for James X. Polk.
Get out of the way, &c.
Now, what to us is quite surprising,
Wright wouldn't run 'gainst Frelinghuysen !;
He knew he couldn't go it strong,
Silas is right, and they are wrong.
Get out of the way, &c.
So now they think to overhaul ne,
With Pennsylvania Geo M. Dallas;
Her vote he never can obtain, s~
And all their efforts are in vain. 1859
Get out of the way, &c.
As Johnny Tyler's in the field, 4p
And will not to the Locos yield,
Ahasuerus should consent u !.
To be his Pas Vice President.
