VEGETABLE ANTI-BILiOUS
yAIILY PILLS.

DR. GORDoN'S PILLS are truly the sick mans
- friend No Traveller or Family should be without
them. Their timely administration will prevent much
pain and suffering, aud save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by DIR. Gordon after
OF study and 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 of most
eminent Physicians, and by many private families for
several and such has been the satisfaction which
they have given, that ii is firmly believed that the veg
etabe kingdom does furnish any materials for pur
,
tain Caomel, Mercury, or any mineral preparations
but are composed entirely of vegetable
tracts carefully prepared and combined be Ger
tain Safe and Easy in their operations, should it be
otherwise, the stomach and bowels contain foul and
acrd bilious ma,tcrshowing great necessity for pur-
gatvc medicine.
These Pills do require particular attention TO diet
drink and may be taken at all times when most
convenient without the fear of liability take
cold.
1t is asserted by many that Fevcrs, and in fact all
diseases arc caused by impure state Of the blood.
The impurities which usually pass off by the bowels and
various other outlets, being retained in the blood
ders IT unit for the nourshmcn and support Of the diff
erent parts Of the body. This produces discase-and
that part othc system which is weakest ismost easily
affected.
The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion of the impurities of the system
are discharged II is evident that whatever acts bcne
caliy on them must be conductive to hcalth-And as
the Bowels the most ecctual, and in fact, almost
the only way by which general impression be

THE SOLDIERS STORY.
Twas in the trench at Vera Cruz,
A group Of soldiers lay,
Weary and worn with working
AT tire guns the livelong day,
Their faces were begrimed with sand,
And SCOT from shot and shell,
Exploding in the crumbling earth,
For fast the missiles fell.
Vet cheerily they chatted,
For their hearts with hope beat high,
And they knew the hour of victory
Was surely drawing NIGH
There came war-worR soldier,
TO mingle with the rest
They babe him welcome to their cheer
And gave him of the best
He'd served with Gen. Taylor,
And they asked him of the man,
Who first and last had led the way
To victory in the van;
On the winding Bio Grande
On the 9Th and 9th of May,
Through Buena Nista's carnage
And the storm OF Monterey.
81 knew him first" the soldier said,
'sAmong the Everglades,
When we gave the savage red skins
Our bayonets and our blades.
/ think hear his cheerful voice:
c<noJ
So hardy and so prompt wac he
We called him Rough and Ready
Gle rode upon an old white horse,
And wore a brown surtout--
But oftcner when the ground was deep,
He trudged with us on foot
The man from whose cantecn he drank,
Was enved and thought lucky;
die had the brave and kind good heart
That honured old Kentucky.
~By wounds outworn, left the field;
But when new campaign
Against another foe commenced,
joined the ranks again.
Twas fun alive, boys, once again
To hear the sabre's clank,
To see old Rough and Ready ride
His white horse on our flank
'At Palo Alto, comrades, there
He gave us work to do.
And DER La Palma's sulphury smoke
His flag triumphant flew
When from the fire his abide camp
Would have the chief retire,
Old Rough and Ready merely said,
"Well ride little higher"
lyon should have seen the brave old boy
In the streets Of Monterey
When the cannon swept the Plaza,
How he sternly stood at bay.
When shell, and grape, and canon bali

And fire his clement

And may wear it yet
But old Rough and Ready tells Inc
