MW sapariAa PiHSof Health, or Blood Hls.-This
excellent family pill is a medicine of ~long-tried efica-
cy, for correcting all disorders Of the stomach and bow
els, the common symptoms Of which arc: costivencss,
fiatulency, spasms, loss of appetite and headache, gid
dincss, sense of fulluess after meals, dizziness of the
eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bow
els, indigestion, producing a torpid state of the liver,
and a consequent inactivity of the bowels, causing a
Reorganization of every function of the frame, will,
with this most excellent preparation, by a little perse
vcrance, be efcctuallyromoycd. Two or three doses
will convince the afflicted Of It's salutarys effects. The
stomach will speedily regaib its strength, a healthy ac-
ton Of The liver. howala and kidneys will rapidly take
place, and instasd eL iiatlessncss, heat, pair. and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, sctivity and renewed
health, viii te thc quick result of taking this inedi-
cine according 10 the directions on each box.
These pills are particularly eaicacious for the sto-
mach, coughs, colds, agues, shortness Of breath, and
all distractions in the urinary passages, and if taken
after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly re-
store the system TO its natural state of reposc.
Persons of a full habit, who are subjects to sick head
ache, Eiddiness, drowsiness and singing in the ears,
arising from too great a flow of blood to the head,
should never be without them, as many dangerous
symptoms will be entirely Carried off by their immedi-
ate use.
For females these pills are most truly excellent, re-
moving all obstructions---the distressing headache so
very prevalent with the Sex, depression of spirits, dull
ness Of sight, nervous affections, blofches, pimplcs and
sanowpess OF the skin, and give a healthy and juvenile
bloom to the complexion.
To mothers they are confidently recommended as the
best medicine fhut can be taken during pregnancy, and
for children of all ages they arc unequaiied.

served: "Ihat DR.. Stilfman's Snrsaparilia Syrup and

HARpfNo's NV PATENT Gun. Mr.. Har..
ding, gun maker, Great Qneen-strt, London, has
patented i gun for sporting and military purpo.-
ses, in which bya particular modification the
powers very greatly increased; the power iis
the patent gun is ignitcd backwards, and being
thus completely consumed, exerts a far greater.
power than when fred in the ordinary ways. A
gun on this principle will Mt 40 yards drive sHOs,
through 70 sheets Of brown paper, while 40,
sheets are regarded as the standard tast of
strength by tire best makers ofthe present day.
There are other minor advantage greatly
increased quickress ofGring, almost as. marked
over the present gun as between the percussion
cap and The flint and steel. Mr.. Harding has
adopted a new primer which resting nearly d.
rect upon the barrel, removes a great fault Of
the present cap, the constant fracture Of the nip
