WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS,


Mo, 1876, Main Street, Richmond, Va.
EpEG leave to call the attention of Country Mer-
LIB chants and dealers generally; to their very
heavy stock of DRUGs. MEDICINES, PAINTS, OH.s,
DYE Stuffs, Window Glass, Putty, Fancy Goods,
and Perfumery, which they are confident they
can and will sell as low, and in some cases
lower than the same can be bought in New York.
Our object is to sell to cash customers, OF those
who pay promptly on the usual credit. Any such
wanting articles in our line would do well to x-
anime our stock and prices, assuring them that we
can at least save them the expense of freghts and
commissions.
Many of our goods Were laid in before the late
advances, and will be sold at such rates as must
insure sales
The quality of all articles warranted. any
proving different from what they are represented
can be returned al our expense
We think it needless to enumerate what we
have on hand Sufficeit to say our stock has been
selected with special reference to the Virginia
and North Carolina trade, and will be found to
comprise any and every article usually sold in
Drug establishments.
We are the sole wholesale Agents for the very
popular Blood Purifier, Carriers Spanish yuirt,re.
and many other popular family medicines, at the
proprieters lowest rates.

our most accomplished writer's, as we'll as the bu-
rms OF the ablest artists, enlisted enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravngs, in the world Of
periodical literature, is owing the fostering care

Their initators fail altOays in equalling them for

are led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these toe established ,oorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they can look for faith
fu performance OF all contracts entered into with
subscribers.
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals.
all that has ever been attempted and the works
dissimlar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapdy-improving periodical lite
nature of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly mul
