IN3A5z { Pill

ARE the cheapest and most approved Faml-
Iy Medicine ever offered 10 the public
They are extremely mild in their opera
ton, neither causing sickness of the sto-
mach, nor any unpleasant sensation in the
system, as is too frequently the case with
medicines given 10 act upon the bowels:
hence mutitudes, who have been unable
TO take other pills or preparations of me-
dicine, on account of their nauseating et-
fects, use these pills without the slightest
disagreeable feelings.
By their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
of health or disease, they may justly be
considered q Universal Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which they are SO
particularly designed, are as follows:-
bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
sia, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, En-
Elargement of the Spleen, Jaundice, AsIh-
ma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Piles, Cholic,
Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
Distractions, Heartburn, Nausea, Furred
Tongue, Dstension of the Stomach and
Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea, Flatulencei
HabituaI Costiveness, Loss of Appetite
Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in all
cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a
cathartic or aperient medicine is needed
AS many Of the above enumerated dis
eases come on imperceptibly, and become
far advanced in their progress before II
is suspected that they exist in the system,
no one should expect, in such cases, to be
at once relieved entirely, bat should CONT
nue the use of the pills for considerable
length of time. Fall directions accom-
pany each box, for the use of the pills,
in all these complaints for which they are
recommended.

PILLS

OF all the remedies ever discovered for
the safe, certain an6 effectuaf cure of the
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever.
none have more merited and received the
appreciation of the public than these Pills.
Upwards of eighty thousand boxes have
been sold, in only six States, within the
last twelve months, and over 10000 box
es of these have been sold in the State OF
Alabama alone. The proprietor has ne
YER known a single instance where these
Pill shave failed when used strictly accord
ing to directions accompanying them. One
box of these pills are generally sufficient
to cure two common eases Of ChAlS and
Fever.
1t is not in the cure of Ague and Fe-
yer, or Chills and Fever alorc that these
Pills have acquired the immense popuIari-
ly, but it is also from their intrinsic merits
in the cure of Fevers of every description.
Yellow fever, bilious, scarlet, typhus, ner.
vous, and congestIve Feyers, all yield 10
The powerful virtues of this medicine.-
The accompanying directions will explain
The mode of treating the various kinds of
fevers, and when this medicine is used in
breaking a fever, the system is not left
in such debiitated stale as to require
two, three, or four weeks time before il
will be able TO gain strength enough for
the patient to attend to his business, as is
usually the case, by pursuing the common
purgative and deple,ive course; but, on
the contrary, their efficacy is such as to
correct the stomach and liver, without pro-
ducing any sensible effect upon the sys-
tenn SO that very soon after the fever
breaks, the patient is able TO attend 10 his
| business.

on, in Carroll county, to the Mississippi
river at Lake Bolivar, passes through This
tract. The growth is large dog wood. oak,
hickory, cherry, red bud, prickly ash, cane,
&c. The timber, though large, is not
thick. About three hundred acres we're
deadened on this tract in he year 1914.
A plantation could therefore be speedily
established. This land lies about twelve
miles northwest of Honey Island, in
Holmes county, and the growth and soil
are similar to those long tried and cele-
brated cotton lands. Persons familiar
with the growth on alluvial soils will at
once perceive that the Chickanah tract
has not been overlooked at any time during
the present century.

DANIEL S DIcxrxsov was on Tuesday elected
by the Legislature 4 United States Senator for six

we thought they would not do If bare dozen
of them had had the pluck 10 vote for Samuel
Young, he would have been chosen. We shall

inson cannot be acceptable TO the rank and file Of
his party, but we would have preferred to gee an

the new Senator would be one who would take
the stand on Texas which the majority Of the
Delegation in the House have done. This hope
is blasted by the election OF Dickinson

their passions, and plunge them into needless
and thus iniquitous War, how fearful will be our
responsibility
