CANDoR AND TRUTH.-In calling the attention
of the community to the advertisement of Stabler's
Good Medicines we wish it distinctly understood,
that we never make an assertion in regard to them,
but what is strictly true in all respects. The Ano-
dyne Cherry Expectorant and the Diarrhoa Cor
dial have both received the approval of numbers
of the best and most celebrated physicians, who
unhesitatingly the Expectorant in all
cases of Cough, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Group,
&C., and the Diarrhea Cordial is also warmly re-
commended in all diseases of the stomach and
bowels. Both of these medicines have been bene-
fetal in hundreds of cases, always giving relief,
and rarely failing, when used according to the di-
rections, in efecting a complete cure of the dis
ease. Try them. See descriptive pamphlets, to be
had gratis of the agents. Price for each, only so
cents per bottle, or six bottles for So so. 7-2t
For sale in Raleigh, by P. f. PESCUD, and by
Merchants generally.

VlO THE PUBLIC.-The subscriber is plea
4 sed to inform the public that his cholera
and Diarrhea Medicine affords more prompt relief
in the various affections of the Bowels, and conse-
quently more satisfaction to all who have used it,
than any other Medicine ever offered to the public.
The following are among many testimonials of its
efficacy. -
much pleasure IN adding my testimony to others
in favor of your remedy for Bowel Affections, &e,
having so frequently experienced its beneficial re-
suits in my OWE case, as well as in many others to
whom I have given it. / carrieda bottle of it with
me to Baltimore, land here permit msto say 1 would
as soon think of travelling without money as with
out this remedy and finding many among my ac-
qaaintances there who were suffering with various
forms of Bowel Affections, l gave it freely, and in
NO INSTANCE did it FIJI to afford the MOST PROMPT
AND DECIDED RELIEF as it has done here. 1 con-
graduate you, and especially the public, on the dis
covery of a medicine which is better calculated to
protect mankind and alleviate suffering than any
other ever hreaght before the people.

This is to certify that I have used DR.. R. II.
Worthington's Cholera medicine in my family for
the last four OF five weeks, in several cases of Bowel
Complaint, so common in our vicinity, with inVa-
rlable success. One of the cases was that of negro
child, some four or five mounths old, who was so
emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life
was nearly despaired of when my wife happened to
think that she would try the Cholera Medicine,
and did so with complete success in less than forty
eight hours. ] am throughly of opinion that no
family, should be without so fine a medicine.

MEssRs. EDITORS. In looking over the last num-
Der of the Gazette, I found a communication from
our friend, Mr.. L. T. Spiers, recommending DR.. R.
Il. Worthington's Cholera Mixture to the public,
for the cure of diarrhoa, dysentery, and other kim
dred diseases. Having experienced in my own case,
the happy effects of its use, as well as other members
Of my family, I can safely say that 1 regard it SUI
perior to any remedy we have ever used, in an ex-
perience of twenty years. I would, therefore, re-
commend it to every family as an Invaluable remedy,
and every individual to procure a bottle and keep
it by them in these times of cholera.
