It's operation. Inns n nas peS J P, pr

6Mkm.1ss11...3an extensive trial OF It's virtues
has ooncusiyely shown with what SUCCESS II accom-
plishes the purpose designed IL y easy 70 make =
physical PHI but not easy 10 make the best OF all
Pillsone which should have none of the objections
but ali The advantages of every other. This has been
attempted here and with what success we would re-
specially submit TO the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgatiye medicine Is acrimonious and irritating TO
the bowels This is not. Many Of them produce so
much gripping pain and reyulSion IN the system as 10
more than counterbaance good to be derived from
Them These Pills produce no irritation pain,
less II arises from previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table, no harm can arise from their use In any guam
utyi but y Is better that any medicine should be
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint in its various forms Of Jaundice,
Indigestion Languor and Loss Of Appetite Listless
ness Irriability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague pain in the Side and Loins, for In
TRUTH all these but the consequence Of diseased
action Of the liver As an aperent they afford prompt
and sure relief in Costveness Piles Colo, Dysentery,
Humors Scrofula, and Scurvy, Colds with soreness
of the body Ulcers and impurty of the blood. In
short any and every case where purgative is re-
quired.
They have also produced some sngularly success
full cures in Rheumatism Gout Dropsy, Gravel Fry
spelas, Paptaton of the Heart, Pains in the Back,
Stomach and Side They should be freely taken in
the spring Of hey TO purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite aud yigor- They purify the
blood, and by their stimulant action on the crcnla-
tory system renovae the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism Hence an occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists but I'M
necessary dosing should DO carried too far AZ
every purgatvc medicine reduces the strength, when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves TO the reason Of every body
and IL is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available 70 mankind When their virtues are once
known the public viii no longer doubt what remedy
to employ when in need Of a cathartic medicine ..
Being sugar-wrapped they pleasant TO take, and
being purely vegetable, harm can arise from their
use in any quantity

Of friend of the editors who went over into
Arkansas recently to attend " break down." that
is, a dance. fF1
"The Indies upon the OCCASION were arraycd III
their best, with all the gay colors that uncult
waited taste could suggest. The gentlemen were
dressed in home-spun Clothes and none but our
friend had broad-cloth upon his back. During the
evening, sweet potatoes Of nm enormous size,
roasted In the ashes, were handed round to the
company, together with handful Of salt for each
guest A beautiful young lady soon became smit-
ten with our friend (perhaps with his magnificent
moustaches,) and resolved to dance with him. She
thcreupon turned to friend, and addressed her in
these words: tt ls8
Sal, hold my later while trot round with that

could not extricate himself from the grip Of the
rustic beauty, and was obliged to ttrot round
after her for one mortal hour before he could OBJ
tain q respite fon his labors He made his escape
