De any prospect of overcoming the Difficult
ties in his road, he throws the chamois
over his shoulders, and returns over the
slippery precipices with his additional load.
When chamois hunter is alone, his diff
hcultles are very great; but when he has
companion with hirn, they can assist each
other, by means Of their poles and cord;
but even then, chamois hunting is one Of
the most dangerous pursuits in the world"

piled the traveller he is obliged to continue
the chase until another opportunity presents
itself to discharge his piece. Sometimes
ne crosses the SHOWS, plunging into the
most difficult passes of the mountain, and
leaps lro u rock to rock without once con-
sidering how he shall return. Then, often
times ne sleeps on the naked rock, or on
heap OF rough stones, without any kind Of
shelter. Think for moment of chamois
hunter on the slippery ledge ola rock when
darkness overtakes him. The thought is

bit Of cheese from his wallet, and breaks q
bit of hard barley bread with his hatchet;
for it is too hard to be broken with his
hands; then putting his flask to his mouth,
he soon finishes his frugal meal, lays his
head on stone, and drops asleep. On the
morrow he is up, long before the sun, to
continue the chase

NATURAL REMEDY.

Suited to the human constitution, and equal to the
cure of every durable Disease, will be fonnd in
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
Of the North American College of Health
These extraordinary Pills are composed of plants
which grow spontaneously on our own soil, and are
therefore. better adapted to our constitutions that
medicines concocted from Foreign drugs, however
we'll they may be compounded and as Wright's In
dian Vegetable Pills are founded upon the principle
that the human body is in truth subject to but one
disease, namely, corrupt humors and that said Medi-
cine cures this disease on natural principles, by
cleansing and purifying the blood it will be mani
fest that if the constitution be not entirely exhaust
ed perseverance in their use, according to direc-
tOns is absolutely certain to drive disease of every
name from the body
When we wish to restore swamp or morass to
fertility, we drain it of the superabundant water
In like manner if we wish to restore the body to
health, we must cleanse it of impurity.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be found one
of the best, if not the very best medicine in the
world for carrying out this grand purifying principle
because they expel from the body all morbid and
corrupt humor, the cause of the disease, in an easy
and natural manner; and while they every day give
ease and pleasure, disease of every name is rapidly
driven from the body.
The following highly respectable storekeepers
have been duly appointed agents for the sale OF
Wrghts Indian Vegetable Pills in

The popularity of Wright's Indian Vegetable
Pills has proved strong bait to unprincipled men,
who, nstigated by the hope ofgan, attempt to palm
oil spurious article on the unsuspectng. To de-
feat the designs of such men we have procured new
labels, and the written signature of VIM. Wright
will now be found on the top label of each box
None other genuine, and to counterfeit this is for
gerry.
Remember the only original and genuine Indian
Vegetable Pills have the written signature of Wm
