GILLMORE,S
Anti-BilliOuS Pills,

1T is remarkable fact that most diseases
Il of the present day partake to a great ex-
tent of bilious tendency; hence the fire.
guency of those wherein the glands and
membranes are attacked, which are styled
inaamatory. At this period when our
country is annually visited by fevers and
other epidemics, peculiarly indigenous to
this country, and those residing in parts
contiguous to marshes, low. wet and swan
py lands, are being constantly affected lby
diseases of the febril and bilious class
which is sweeping off thousands of our
best and most useful inhabitants. In this
lamentable state of affairs is it at all re-
marka Bile that there should be great de-
mand for some medicine prepared on sci
entifc principles, that would prevent so
much disease and mortality, and one that
could be in EVERY family, travellers port
manteau, Transfers pocket, and ladies'
toilette, and used with safety. The pro-
prietor, guided by these considerations has
com nounded an

Sin later consulting many persons interested IN
the principal Rail- Roads in the United States, the
undersigned propose to establish agencies In this
city aud in New York, for the purpose OF collect
ing fall and authentic RAILROAD statistics and
such other information will enable them 10 serve
persons desiring TO invest IN Rai-Road securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Raj
Roads They also propose, especially, TO urge
upon Congress modification OF the laws relat-
ing To contracts for carrying the mail, SO as TO au
thorize the Post Office Department to contract fo'
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead al
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts Tor foul
wears. 10 advance in FIVE per cent bonds OF the
United States, charseahle upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the inte
rest upon which at 6 per cent. would equal II ?
payments now made
The government now pays $500 per mile fer
carving the mail on first class Ra-Roads- ms
is 6 per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on aconiract
N perpetuity five 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest Of five per centum. Al this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which VIII, in a
fewyears pay othe Bonds, and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter free of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction of the rates OF postage
The effect will be no less advantageous TO Rail
Road Companies than to the government For
instance, such contract would give to the Baiti-
more and Ohio Rail- Road Company more than
AZ, 900 900, which would enable that complete It's
road at an early day, and greatly increase its busl-
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert of action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise The undersigned tender Their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one orr more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, TO confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as TO the details of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience we are, respectfully, your obt serv't
