INHE composition of this invaluable antidote,
l. being simple and harmless to the constitu.
ton, is Of such certain efficacy in the expulsion
of worms, that the inventor of it, actuated by the
strongest motives of benevolence feels DESTROYS to
promulgate its character.
Frustrated too often by the uncertain effect and
frequent failure, as well of the common and sim
Pile drugs for worms, as of the numerous secret
compounds and patent vermifuges, he has, after
extensive of these po,cders for fifteen gears.
deemed his success complete, and now, induced
by the solicitations of thousands offers it to the
public at large, confident himself of contributing
mite to the public good.
This compound, although bearing its name from
its anthelminiic quality only, is equally valuable
in all disorders that originate in morbid obstruc-
tons and coagulotions in the bowels. The effect
of it is thoroughly mundifying, and therefore it is
judicious prescription not only for certain classes
of indgestions, dyspepsies and gastric fevers, but
variety of diseases created by sympathy of the
primary affected organ with the sensual and other
particular organs come under its reach. Pecu.
liar sore eyes, gandular swellings of the abdo-
men and neck, chronic eruptions of the skin, pain
in the joints in Children &C., are cured with these
powders.
For the purpose of establishing the proof of
this assertion, few of the many certificates that
might have been procured were added 70 the first
issue Of this medicine, and are only augmented
by a few more now, to avoid too large wrapper;
therefore, the reprint Of the labels the inventor
allows himself to add only, that the ten thousa nd
packets leach containing ten ordinary doses)
which he put up tive years ago, have been sold and
used to such satisfaction, that he is putting up
sufficient quantity to accommodate more distant
agents.
The inventor of these powders recommends the
use of them in particular for children. Their
weaker Digestion their greater and unrued and
unreguiated appetite and their diet, predisposes
them to accumulations Of crudties and mucous
sediments in the bowels, and therefore subjects
them to all the thousand distressing symptoms
OF determination and its consequences.
OETDirections are found on the wrappers of the
packages.

CoMMENDABLE PArRIoTIsM!-Presdeni
Polk insuted the dignity of the country
by appointing his brother, Col. w. H. Polk
as charge to the Two Siciies. He went
TO Naples, stayed abroad long enough to
claim two years salary-the outfit and Unfit
amounting to some 5,OO0--passed but
little time where the business of his Office
called him, and in the little he did do, show
ed his utter incapacity--came home sud-
denly--has been drawing his salary since
his return at the rate of $4,000 per annum
and has now resigned his Chargeship and
been appointed Major of Dragons! This
some of our contemporaries call "commen.
dable patriotsm!" We could find another
name for it, much nearer the truth, were i,
not that we feel much rejoiced to know that
the diplomacy of our country will not again
be turned into ridcule by his exhibitions OF
ignorance on the continent. He may make
very good Dragon. but he was beneath
contempt as an official representative oil
our country abroad.

Indian Queen Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills
A RE the latest and most important discovery
"A of the age in the form of popular FAMILY
MEDICINE, for they possess extraordinary viz.
tues hitherto unknown in the shape of pills.
They are of two kiuds-first the Anti Bilious
second, the Tonic Pills.
THE ANTT-BILIOUS PILLS
Are the safest and most etfcacious purgative ever
used in bilious fevers, ague and fevers, dropsy,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, inha mmatory fever, and
all diseases peculiar to the Western and Southern
PURELY VEGETABLE,
And free from all the poisonous end corroding
effects of mineral medicines which are SO indiS.
criminately used in chill. and fever, and other dis
eases of the
SOUTH AND WEST.
Their virtues consist in their mild yet searching
effects upon the inner coat of the stomach and
bowels, and upon the secrelions OF the liver, skin
and kidneys. thereby cleansing
THE ALIMENTARY CANAL
OF all offending and viscid humors, exciting the
liver to prompt and healthful action, carrying off
the bile and other
IMP URITIES OF THE BLOOD
and restoring the regular motion of the bowels,
THE BILIOUS CONDITION
Of the system, producing moisture Of the skin,
cleansing tho fur from the tongue, removing head
ache and pain Of the back, and securing that free
dom from febrile connections which invites to
sleep and ends in
RESTORATION TO HEALTH.
After the stomach and bowels have been ceanssd
of their
FOUL HUMORS,
The liver drained of its SrAGNANT BILE, and
the active force of the chill or fever subdued then
THE TONIC PILLS
Require to be freely used. These pills act LIKE A
CHARM upon the chlls or fever, &C.; all the
other disordered functions of the body, by their
soothing and srenghing action upon the
NER VOUS SYSTEM,
thus guarding it against the poisonous and para
lying effects of that
MONSTER
Which lives in the atmosphere, carries death and
destruction to thousands and tens of thousands,
in new countries under the form Of
MARSH MIASMATA,
Which is the first cause of chlls and fever, and
all bilious disea SEES. and is the product of
VEGETABLE FERMENTATION
Caused by the union of heat and moisture in all
low and marshy situations during The summer
months, and which the close researches of the
MEDICAL FACULTY
Have heretofore been unable to unfold. Ii has
been our good fortune to discover
VEGETABLE REMEDY
Against this prevalent and all-pervading poison
which we constantly inhale with the atmosphere
we breathe during the summer months.
OUR TONIC PILLS
Have been found to have complete and astonishing
| power over this

larity which they have obtained in all the West

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

FhOM lHE RlO GHANDE.
Dates at New Orleans were to the 2ls,
ult.
Banditti, &C., were active between Mat
amoras and Monterey. Capt. Baylor's com.
pany had nearly all been cut of, and Capt.
Reeds Lieutenant killed.
Large attachments from Gen. Taylor's
army were expected at the Brazos, in order
to being forwarded to Gen. Scott. This
is further proof of determination to
keep old Rough and Ready inactive.
Col. Davenport, commanding at Mata-
moras, has decided that Texas is bounded
on the Rio Grande by the left bank of that
river, and has ordered the collection of
duties on goods entering that river to be
made under Mr.. Walkers Merico- American
tariff: This position is impugned by the
Flag, which paper contends that the main
stream is the boundary. The discussion
is an interesting one to several traders who
are trying to get their goods into the river,
on the plea that they are 10 be landed in
Texas and of course insist that they shall
pay american and not the Polk and Wal.
ker duties.
Between four and five thousand barrels
of provisions, which probably have cost
the United States on the Brazos hard upon
sirty thousand dollars, were to be sold in a
damaged state on the 7th. The net loss to
Uncle Sam will amount perhaps to forty
or fifty thousand dollars.
