alton was going OH in Baltimore. and while
hundreds were examining It's wonders daily, an
old lady called at the door and paid her quarter
for admission. Once inside, she took the gen.
ileman who conducted The apparatus. by the but

how the machine worked-how much it cost
where they were TO be bough,-and whether
or not II was really fact that the brood of lit
tie chickens running about the floor were actu.

tailed statement of how much poultry she raised.
how much money she had made by il, &c.
adding that the profits were q orfitliy small"
and if these machines would do the thug
cheaper. she reconed she would buy one
After she had made thousand inquiries, the
gentleman proceeded To- show her The drawers

TNFLAMMAToRY soRr THROAT OR oUIN-

TNFLAMMATORY Sore THROAT OR QUIN-
l. SY, is an acute and sometimes highly danger
Gus complaint. and should be attended to in the
early stage Of the malady. as the slightest delay
is often attended with serious consequences
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills of the North A
merican College of Health are the best medicine
in the world for the cure of an iniammatory sore
throat, because they not only purge from the body
those humors which are the cause of every de-
scIiption of Inflammation and swelling, but they
suit all ages, and may be administered without
moments delay. For grown person from four
to eight of said Indian Vegetable Pills should be
taken night and morning, until the urgent symp-
toms have abated, after which three or four pills
taken once in twenty-four hours will in short
time make perfect cure.
Bs'eare of Counterfsits of all kinds! Some are
coated with sugar; others are made to resemble
In outward appearance the original medicine
The original genuine Indian Vegetable Pills
have the signature of William Wright written with
pen on the top label of each box None other
