gyIn our repor. Of the proceedings OF The
House of Delegates on Friday last, the following
was accidentally omitted:
Mr.. ANDERSON rose to ask leave Of absence for
the balance OF the session for MIR. Burwell, OF
Bedford. He said tina, Mr.. B. was Distinguish
ed lawyer, with large practice, and il was i'm
portant that he should be al court on Monday.
Mr.. CAsTLEMAN remarked that lie was pTac.
Using and practical farmer, when a! home, and
there are others here who are also farmers, and
may desire 10 go home 10 plough their fields,
plant their corn and SOW their oats. The lawyers
have consumed nearly all the time OF the House
in talking, and he was opposed 10 granting leave
of absence. If gentlemen would go horne, he
should be constrained 10 move call Of the
Honse.
MIR. ANDERSON, in reply, said, that i, had been
charged upon lawyers, frequently, that they have
taken up the time OF the House; but il seems that
there are others who consume as much, il not
more Of its time than the lawyers.
The question was then taken, and the motion
was disagreed 10.

HAMILY PILLS.

hR. GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick mans

pam and suffering, aud save many valuable lives
These Pills were compounded by DIR. Gordon after
years OF study and careful obscrv upon the nature
oil different medicines, and the effect which they pfodcc
upon different constitutions in various forms OF disease
ihey nave been extensively used by OF our most
eminent Physicians, and by many private families for
several years. and such has been the satisfaction which
they have given that tits firmly believed that the veg
etablc kingdom does furnish any for nu9
gatve medicine, which surpasses for general use those
OF which these pills arc composed They do not con-
tain Calomel, Nlcrcury or any mineral preparations
but are composed entirely Of vegetable
tracts carefully prepared and combined to be Ger
tain, Safe, and Easy in their oPcrationsshoud il be
oherwise, the stomach and bowels contain foul and
acrid BILIOUS matscr-showing great necessity for pur
gativc medicine.
These Pills do not require particular attention to diet
or drink and may be taken at all times when most
convenient without the fear of liability to take
cold.
1t is asserted by many that Fcvers and in fact all
diseases are 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

| The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion of the impurities of the system
are discharged it is evident that whatever bencf-
cialy on them must be conductive to hcalth.-And
the Bowels the most efectual, and in fact almost
