Many forfetures are about to accrue, from failure
to pay taxes; many Claims otherwise good, will be
barred by adverse possession Of three years-that
being the limitation; many titles of lands conveyed
the United States, cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want of proper authorization. Owing
some one other of these causes the best lands
are in condition to be lost.
Having made it my business to become acquaint-
ed with all the laws relating to titles, and being de-
termned to attend diligently to all claims confded to
me, require in all cases, an advance in cash. suffi-
cient to cover expenses Of investigation. When
that shall be done am willing to take contingent
interest in the lands for attention and services.

LAS family medicine, mild and gentle pur
gative, and purifier of the blood. The general
use of these celebrated pills throughout the United
States for these forty years past and tbe strong
of our fellow-citizens, places them in 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 DR.. Dyot's celebrated pills are so deservedly
distinguished for curing By their counteracting
they prevent and the bilious fever; chills or
ague and fever; spring and fall fevers; yellow fever;
bilious cholic; peurisy; dysentery; worms; bilious
vomiting sick and foul stomach
BY cleansing the bowels and stomach from all i'm
purtes, they restore the loss of appetite, remove
hatulency, the headache, habitual costiveness
colds, coughs, asthma, epileptic fits, hypochondria
hysterical complaints, stranguary, gravel, &c.
BY general and copious use, they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and gout,
lumbago or pains in the back
All impurities in the blood yield to their happy
effects, whether proceeding from constitutional all
ment, or from indscreet inemperance.
These celebrated pills have been used to very
great advantage in curing the dyspepsia, or indiges
ton, bronchitis, liver complaint, &c. p.
They are an infallibe medicine for female com
plants generally, and especially for removing those
distractions which are the source of their ailments
at certain periods; they possess the eminent advan-
tage over most other purgatives, that, while they

biity, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is predispostion to receive
disease from marsh effuvia, or from too copous
of ardent spirits, from vtiated 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 no
exercise can be used They will be found particu-
arly valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates; they deterge and cleanse viscid humors
open distractions, and promote the secretion of
good bile, operate as easy cathartic, power
fu diuretic, and a diaphoretic.
DIR. Dyott, under the strong conviction Of the
power of his pills to relieve the afflicted, recon-
mends the of them to those who are in health

feels assured those who attend to his advice will
