There have been thousands doubtless, who suf-
fered disease to destroy their happiness here, and
even life itself, rather than resort to the use of
what are generally styled Patent Medicines"
no matter what health improving virtues these
may have possessed. Accustomed to hear q cry
against these remedies, they choose to deprive
themselves of the happy benefits they might have
received from them, and veinIy endeavor to bolster
mp their falling condition by the ordinary pations
of the day, which less efficient, though per-
haps more fashionable and costly. But we rejoice
that these hurtful preudces are fast losing thor

LIVER COMPLAINT is generally accompanied
with pain in the right side, extending to the top
of the shoulder: variable appetite, occasionally a
disordered stomach, yellow tinge of the skin and
eyes, and often swelling over the region of the
liver, together with other symptoms of a corrupt
state of the blood.
Wrights Indian Vegetable Pills will be found
one Of the very best medicines in the world for the
cure of all diseases of the Liver; because they
expel from the body those morbid humors which,
when deposited upon this important organ, are the
cause of every variety Liver Complaint. From
three to six of the abova named Pills, taken on
going to bed, will, in short time, give such man
ifest relief, that no persuasion will be necessary
to induce perseverance in their use, until the
liver is restored to healthy action.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills also aid and
improve digestion and purify the blood, and there.
fore give new life and vigor to the whole frame.

the fluid to flow with which the delicate hair tubea

ISLANDER REFUTED.

Some time ago story was fabricated
and set ahoat, that Gen. Taylor was the
owner of large tract of land in the
disputed territory which lies between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande, and that
an agent Of his had been in Washington
City purchasing slaves to stock it. The
Cincinnati Inquirer, an abolition locofoco
paper, was very busy circulating this re-
port. The amount of money he had to
invest in slaves, was roundly stated. Col.
Mitchell of Cincinnati, wrote to General
Taylor, referring to the allegation and en-
curing as to its truth. We annex his re.
ply, which completely upsets the whole
story, and shows how wantonly and
recklessly the locofocos assaiI the old man.
Base must be that mind, indeed, which
could invent and circulate such unmitigated
falsehoods against one whose entire life
has been devoted to the most arduous du.
ties in the service of his country.

NV DEAR COLONEL: Your kind letter OF the

no land on the Rio Grande, nor have | sent
$4,000 or any other sum to the District OF Co.

such sum in my possession, could put it to a
better use than buying lands on the Rio Grande,
or slaves in Washington. Among the many &C.
cusalions brought against me by my opponents |
should be much grati6ed to learn that they had
succeeded in subs.antiatng The charge that have
in my possession so large sum for any purpose
as the one above mentioned.
beg that you will not put yourself to any
trouble to meet the objections urged against me,
by those opposed to me, if they are as groundless
as the one in question, for when they see lit thus
10 disregard the obligations Of truth, it is useles.

With my best wishes for your health and sue

FUN.-ln the course of debate in the
House of Representatives few days ago,
Mr.. Smith, of lnniana, remarked that Mr..
Wentworth, of Illinois, always voted for
river and harbor bills and then turned
round and voted for President who would
veto them. Mr.. Wentworth said that he
should not do so next time. Mr.. Schenck
here in,erposed and asked if the gentleman
from Illinois would repeat what he had
just said, as "there was so much noise and
confusion he feared the gentleman had not
been able to make himself heard and IN.
derstood."
The House was convulsed with laughter
for several minutes.--Lou Journal.

Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Intermittent FeUer
and all the uarious forms of

CnlL feceT, DuWO dSue, lUeTHtuteUt ItOeiJ
and all the Uarious forms Of
BILIOUS DISEASES.
This valuable medicine is undoubtedly the safest,
surest and best remedy ever discovered for the
of the above named diseases. 1t not only breaks
the chill, but removes the cause from which the
disease originates. Its operation is both genera!
and special.
While it acts generally upon the whole system,
as most powerful Alternative, purifying the fluids,
freeing the solids from all morbid secretions, and
reinvigorating and bringing up all the vital ener-
gies to standard of permanent health; it at the
same time exerts specific influence upon the liver,
digestive organs and Emphatic ard glandular sys-
tens; exciting them TO healthtul activity, remo-
wing all morbid matter, equaling the circulation
restoring their proper and necessary secretions,
thus accomplishing complete renovation from
disease, and restoration to sound and permanent
health.
1t will be readily conceded by every intelligent
mind that Tonic SYRUP composed of the most
valuable ingredients. carefully selected from the
Vegetable Kingdom, must possess far more potent
properties for the complete eradication OF the dsea-
ses for which it is especially prepared, than can
possibly be compounded with the limited quantity
usually administered in the form of Pills.
Those who are suffering with the prostrating
AGUE and FEVERS common to the west and
south-those whose constitutions have become en-
feebled by the use of mercury, quEne, or other
violent remedies--should resort at once 10 Tue use
of this VALUABLE MEDICINE.
II has cured and will cure the most obstinate cases
Travelling with the circulation, it pours its heal.
ing current through every vein and artery Of the
human body. The whole animal economy is made
to undergo thorough radical change. Even the
mind partakes of the healthful process, and life,
that before appeared one dreary waste, begins
| again to seem worth possessing
