DR.. GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick mans
fnenI. No traveller or Family should be without
them Their timely administration will prevent
much pain and suffering, and save many valuable
lives.
These Pills were com pounded by DR.. Gordon al
ter years Of study nnd careful observation upon the
nature Of different medicines, and the effect which
they produce upon different constitutions in various
forms Of disease. They have been extensively used
by some Of our most eminent physicians, and by
many private families for several years; aud such
has been the satisfaction which they have given that
il is firmly believed that the vegetable kingdom
does not furnish any materials for purgaf.ve medi-
Gin which surpasses for general use, those ofwhich
these Pills are composed They do not contain
Calomel, Me cnry or any mineral preparation; but
are composed entirely Of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as to
be Certain, SAFE and Easy IA their OperGtiOR-
should Il be otherwise the stomach and bowels con-
tam foul and acid bilious mauer-shOwing great
necessity for purgatiye medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion Of the impurities OF the sys-
tom are discharged, IL 10 evident that whatever actl
bene6cialv on them must be conducive 70 health.
And ns the Bowels are the most effectual, and in
fact, almost the only way by which a general i'm
preston can be made upon the system, Il & perfect
Nv reasonable 10 suppose, that nearly all disease
will be cured, or al least, much benefited BY a
lnticious ule Of purgatiTo medicines. IL Physi-
clan u caloi 10 patient, what is the 6rst thiI G
donol liz prescribos a dose or two OF purgativo
medicines aud then, after day OF tive n the pa
tenl ia no better be gives him another dose Of pur-
gative medicine ami on; doing unms other little
things-but the main reliance for a cure is upon
the effect produced By purgatiVe medicines. There

Of Dr.. G0rdou's Vegetable Family Pills, and be
again restored 10 health. Price IS cents per Box.

PROPO9A@S
Fer FmIarRfmg and Extending the
Circulation
OF THE
YAZOO CITY WHIG.

~
AT the solicitation Of many OF
our friends, and a desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
dunn Of communication to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
to ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE "YAZOO
CITY WHIG," so as to make it
more worthy of a general circula-
ton among the people Of the inter-
ior.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point of a large, rich, and
populous section of country, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latest events that trans
pire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place devoted to the advance
ment of its interests.
We have labored faithfully,
through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
i in publishing a paper in YazoO
City; and, during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests are
identified with those of YazOO City
here we have reared a family
and, here we expect to end the bal
ance of our days.
To effect the improvements
contemplated in the Vine, we shall
necessarily Be compelled to incur
considerable extra expense and,
to enable us to do this, we have
issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
/, We have determined to make
the WHIG worthy of a liberal and
generous support and, we now
call upon our friends to use their in
y f1uence and aid to accomplish this
: object. Two or three hundred adj
n ditiOnal subscribers, and amore EX-
TENDED patronage from our adVer-
Using friends will be all-suffcient.
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
3 rons that they shall not be disar-
pointed in their expectations
: WING shall not be inferior to any
2 of its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
n ITY and QUANTITY of reading mat
e ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
: and ACCURACY of lis MECHANICAL
: EXECUTION. We have engaged
the services Of several gentlemen,
eminently qualified, to be regular
contributors to its columns-we
: have, also, engaged the services of
E several commercial gentlemen, of
i New Orleans, to furnish us with
e ACCURATE reports of the markets,
d as well as all other matters which
will be of interest to the up-country
y reader. The local department of
= = the paper, we shall take under our
z IiOwn exclusive control, and every
. incident that transpires which can
c impart interest, shall have a hear
/ ing through the columns of the
Vine. In short, we intend to make
the WING valuable newspaper to
all classes of readers.

OF all the remedies ever discovered for
the safe, certain and effectual cure of the
Ague and Fever. or Chills and Fever, none
have more meriled and received the appro-
baton Of the Public than these Pills, Up

twelve months, and over 90, 900 Boxes OF
these have been sold in the State Of Alabama

single instant where these Pills have failed
to cure the Chills and Fever, where they
have. been used strictly according to the d.
rections accompanying them. One box Of
:hese Pills is generally sufficient to cure two
common cases Of Chills and Fever.

CHILDREN CRY FOR
DIR. HULL'S
WORM [BN78EIN5S|

IN over $4,000 cases they have proved an infal-
lible remedy for the destruction Of those reptiles
which are the means Of sweeping off Hundreds
and Thousands Of the most blooming children
and youth, severing the chords Of affection, and
forever blasting the fondest hopes Of the parent.
So great has their efficacy invariably proven, that
they may well be called the only certain worm
destroying medicine in use, and the greatest dis
covery ever made for expellng the various kinds
Of worms that so frequently and dsiressingy
annoy both children and adults. They are a GER
tain remedy and pleasant to the taste that chill
dTen cry for them, and eat them as readily as
common peppermint Lozenge.
To parents, we say do not be without these
Lozenges at any time; attend to these sugges.
tons as you value the lives of your children.

THEY are extremely mild in their operation,
neither causing sickness Of the stomach, nor any
unpleasant sensation in the system, as Is too FREE
quently the case with medicines given to act upon
the bowels: hence multitudes, who have been una
BILE to take other pills preparations Of medicine,
on account of their nauseating effects use these
pills without the slightest disagFeeable feelings.
All that is asked Of those who have never yet be-
come acquainted with them, is to 90 Of once and
procure one IS cent box, and the Pfopnetor's word
for it, they will never call for any othe kind Of Pur
gatiVe Medicine so long as Spencer's Vegetable
Pills can be obtained. The character ofthis medi-
cine is such that no family should be without it, oF
scarcely q wsek passes in any family but that some
one mtn Der Of il would be benefited by Waking
dose or two ofthese Pills. They cleanse the stom-
ach and bowels Of every thing injurious to health,
purify the blood, invigorate the circulation, and
produce heaIthy action throughout the system.
Ifevery family would keep this safe and valuable
medicine in their houses and administer i in time
az occasion might require, large amount ofFiclE-
ness and suffering might be prevented, and many
diseases eradicated that might otherwise become
seated in the system, and eventually deprive the
snderer Of precious life,
The Pills are neatly put up in boxes, containing

Bankers a. they choose contract or expand

In this way Bebb, Kelley, Coombs, Far

Bankers are an enormous cost to tho people by
their frequent suspension Of specie payments;
and by selling at heavy premiums the specie they
have collected throughout the country, to those
having to make payments abroad.
Banks are heavy charge by their frequent
bank ruptcies, so ruinous to those who having de-
posted specie with them receive back shnplas-
