Indian Incredulity.

Capt. Marcy, it will be remembered, was
supposed, year ago, to have been cut off
while exploring the head waters OF Red
River. He survived, however, and has
lately read an interesting paper before the
American Statistical and Geographical So
ciety, describing the region of the country
which he visited and particularly its Indian
occupants. The following incidents will
illustrate the difficulty of explaining mod.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sve trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit TO
the public decision 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revusion in the system as to more
than counterbalancc the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken udicously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured BY them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
OF Jaundice, Indigestion, L9nguor and Loss Of APP
petite, Lisessness, Irritali Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever AID Ague, rain in the Side
and Lons; for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence Of diseased action IN the liver. As an
aperent, they AFFORD prompt and sure relief in Cos
SVhNt
ula and scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some sngularly sue
Gessfnl cures in Rheumatism, Govt Dropsy, Gravel
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tite and vgor They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
aphysc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of
cathartic medicine.

A DOLLAR OR TWO.

With cautions steps, as we tread our way through
This intricate world as other folssdo,
NAV we still ON our journey be able to view
The benevolent face of Il dollar or two
For an excellent thing Ia dollar or two,
No friend is as true as a dollar or two,
Through country and town, as wepass up and down,
No passports SO good as dollar or two.
Would you read yourself out of the bachelors crew,
And the hand of female divinity sue'
You mnst always be ready the handsome to do,
Although 1t may cost you dollar or two;
d, LoYe's arrows are tipped with dollar OF two
And affection is gainsdby dollar or two,
The best aid you can meet In advancing your suit,
Is the eloquent chnk of a dollar or two.
Would you wish your existence with faith to Undue,
And enroll in the ranks of the sanctifed few,
TO enjoy good name and well cushioned pew,
You must freely come down with a dollar or two;
The Gospel is preached for doilNr OF two,
The salvation is reached for a dollar or two,
You may sone at times, but the wcrst of all crimes
Is to find yourself short Of a dollai or two,
