SMALL BUT DESIRABLE FARM FOR

A SMALL BUT DESIRABLE FARM FOR
"A SALE, situate little below the junction of
the "Old Leesburg road" and the Middle turnpike,
about At miles northwest Of Alexandra, containing
between 80 and "a acres.
The western part of this tract for nearly half
mile binds on the Leesburg road, the eastern por-
ton Of the middle turnpike. This land, like the
surrounding country, is not only very elevated but
remarkably level, commanding during the sered
leaf Of autumn the finest view of Alexandra, the
heights of Maryland, and the Potomac river.
About 25 acres are cleared at the west end on
which their is an old dwelling-house, and also out
houses, all in dilapidated state, with well, it is
said of the best water, and the place unsurpassed
admirably calculated for meadow. The east end is
partly clay, partly gravel Internationally there are
about 30 acres in young growth the balance cleared
An opening made through these woods from the
western TO the eastern portions Of the farm, would
produce the finest effect regards landscape. The
centre ofhe tract (Which in shape is nearly an OBJ
long) presents desirable spot for the erection
ola dwelling, the same being but about a quarter of
mile south OF the Middle turnpike, and gradually
inclining eastwardly to deep ravine running in a
southeast direction.
From this spot the view is magnificent, in the en-
.phaiic sense Of the word To gentleman Of taste
and fortune, il offers (f6r summer residcnce)
every inducement, being an easy drive Of one hour
at most from Washington, Georgetown or Alexan
dria; and to market man, every advantage and fa-
ciity which health, an improbable soil and contigu-
ity to three markets can afford This part of Fair
fax is rapidly improving, and will continue to inn
prove; and more especially in this immediate neigh
borhood, where the Middle turnpike, the Columbian
turnpike and the Leesburg road all intesect the last
named good most beautiful summer road the
other two, the very best turnpikes through all sea-
sons Of the year, with unusually moderate tolls.
Those who wish to purchase will come; those who
desire only delightful ride are invited to come.
Sale to take place on the premises, on Tuesday,
the 24th June, next ensuing, at IL o'clock, m, if
fair, if not the next fair day.

DIR. pYoTT,s ANrl.BILIoUs PILLS.

A 8 family medicine, mild and gentle purga
IA tive, and purifier of the blood. The genera
use of these celebrated pills throughout the United
States for these forty years past and the strong
concentrations they have acquired from all classes
Of our fellow-ctizens, places them in a much more
elevated situation in public estimation, than any
other remedy which has heretofore been introduced
The following are among the many diseases for
which DIR. Dyoti's celebrated pills deservedly
distinguished for curing. BY their counteracting
they prevent and cure the bilious fever; chls, OF
ague and fever; spring and fall fevers; yellow fever
bilious choic; pleursy; dysentery; worms; bilious
vomiting sick and foul stomach.
BY cleansing the bowels and stomach from all i'm
purties, they restore the loss of appetite, remove
fatulency, cure the headache, habitua costiveness
colds, coughs asthma, epileptic fits, hypochondria
hysterical complaints, stranguary, gravel, DC
By general and copious use, they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and govt
lumbago or pains in the back.
All impurities in the blood yield to their happy
effects whether proceeding from constitutional all
ment, or from indiscreet intemperance.
These celebrated pills have been used 10 very
great advantage in curing the dyspepsia, or ndiges
uon, bronchitis, liver complaint, DC. $3.50.
! They are an infallible medicine for female conn
plants generally, and especially for removing those
at certain periods; they possess the eminent advan
tage over most other purgatives, that, while they
operate gently, they produce neither cosnveness, de-
billty, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is predispostion to receive
disease from marsh efluvia, or from too copious
use of ardent spirits, from a vtated state of the
bile, these pills will assuredly counteract it.
They are highly recommended TO travellers by
sea or land, and may be made use of with safety
without change of diet, and in situations where nc
exercise can be used. They will be found particu
larly valuable for preventing diseases incidental tc
hot climates they deterge and cleanse viscid humors
open distractions, and promote the secretion O
good bile, operate an easy cathartic, as power
full diuretic, and as diaphoretic.
DR.. Dyott, under the strong conviction of the
power of his pills to relieve the afflicted, recon-
mends the use of them to those who are in health
well as the afflicted at leace fortnight, du
ring the spring and summer months, in which he
feels assured those who attend to his advice will
find the benefit they seek.
Take notice--each box is sealed with red wax
stamped with the proprieor's coat of arms, signed
