The proprietor has such confidence in these
Pills, that he would say to all persons who
may purchase a box of them, that if, after TAX
ing one or two doses in accordance with direc-
tons, they should not be satisfied with them,
the money paid will be refunded, or the charge
for the same cancelled, by returning the box
in n useable condition, with the remainder of
the Pills. Agents selling them are requested
to conform to this rule.
If you or your family have been in the habit
of using pills, try them. and you will find them
as good, if not better in many respects, than
any you have ever used before. Do not say to
yourself, / should be glad to buy box of
them, but there are so many kinds before the
public already, some recommended for one
thing, others for another, and the rest for eve
ry thing, that have no confidence in any of
them, believing them all to be made for specu-
lative purposes. Without doubt, many pro-
prietory medicines are too highly recommend
ed, and made merely for speculation. All this
may be; but these Pills will be found to answer
as general thing, the purposes for which they
are designed.
Try them and see for yourself, if you do
not like them, return the box with the remain
der of the pills and they will cost you moth
name is on the box. Has $50.

Maternal Affection.

MEN, says the Presbyterian Herald, talk
of the silver cord Of iriendship-of the silk
en- ties which bind young lovers together
OF the pure affection Of husband and WIFE,
as ii it were durable as adamant and as
pure as the love of angels. But hasty
word, though,lcSs action, or miscon-
strued expression, may break the first; n
slight neglect, some inconsistency, or a ri-
fling favor denied, may sunder the second /.
aud even the last may be destroyed, for the
grcen-eyed monster may find some entrance
aud blight the iarest flowers of this sweet
Stearthly paradise.
But there is love which neglect can't weak
en-, which injury cannot destroy, aud which
even jealousy cannot eXtinguiSh. II is the
/ pure, the holy, the enduring love Of moth
, er. Ii is aS gentle AZ the breeze of even
| ing, firm the oak, aud ceases only when
| lfe'S last CLEAN goes ont in death. During
all the vicSSitudcS of this changing world,
/ in sickness or in sorrow, in HE or in death,
in chiIdhood's halcyon DAYS, in youths I'M
| troubled hour, or in manhood'S vigorous
/ prime, the mother clingS with the same un.
wearied affection to her child. II is the
same amid the SHOWS and frost Of Siberia,
the temperate and joyous regions ofour own
| fair land, and among the arid sands of Afri-
ca.
These anxious cares and tender atcn-
tons and Ott-repcated words of a mother,
/ love, are not without their happy influences
/ upon the lives aud characters Of their sons.
/ The stern rebuke Of justly offended father
may check for season the rising aud >trug-
/ Cling passions of youth, but the sacred les
sons learned from mothers lips are en-
/ craven on the heart and retain their pow
