DIR. McLASES LIVER PILLS.

0Z- When the proprietor Of this invaluable RENE
dy purchased it of tho inventor there was no medi
cine which deserved the name for the cure Of Liver
and Bilious complaints, notwithstanding tho great
prevalence Of these diseases in the United States.
In the South and West particularly where the pa
tent is frequently unable to obtain the services Of
regular physician, some remedy required, at
safe and cfoctual and the operation Of which could
in no wise prove prejudical to the constitution This
medicine is SUPPLE by DIR. McLancs Liver Pills,
has been proved in every instance in which it has had
a trial Always beneficial, not a solitary instance
has ever occurred in which its effects have been nju-
rious. The invention of educated and distinguish
cd physician, it has nothing in common with the
quack nostrums imposed upon the public by shallow
pretenders TO the medical art. Experience has now
proved, beyond doubt, that DR.. McLano's Pill 10
the best remedy ovor proposed for the Liver Com.
plant.

Mr. Smith denied that the law proposed was
q sumptuary law, and argued this point at
length, giving many graphic Illustrations.
He concluded by an allusion to the probably
prevalent opinion that he was not familiar
with the practices Of which he had spoken.
He confessed that he had known nothing Of

and his children's children, were strangers to

that they and millions upon millions in this
country might live and die in such ignorance

in quality or workmanship we would call their atten-
ton to the card Of Henry Janney to be found under
the head Of Washington" handsome and neat
ly-made boot is not at all times of pleasure
TO the wearer but often of extreme torture; this
Is caused by tho bungng manner in which the boot
Is fitted to the foot Mr.. Janney has devoted much
Of his time In studying the construction Of the human
foot, in ofder to ascertain how boot should be cut
and fitted that will be perfectly easy TO all parts of
tho foot In this he has succeeded so that IL matters
not what may be the shape Of the number Of
the foot his boot is perfectly easy Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.
