l being much delighted in getting hold of
one, commenced Immediately circulating it

down to your city, that we might once more
call upon our honorable legislators to give us
a law to stop entirely the traffic of this fell
destroyer of mankind. But, sir, commenced
this work in a region of country where a me-
mortal had never before made its way, nor
had a Temperance lecturer ever opened his
lips upon the subject of the great Temper
ance reform. In consequence of presenting
this, a great noise has been raised, and, poor
me and the memorial are the topics of abuse
in this region! Since the news has gotten

naA Derangement of the Liver,

Is one of the most common, as well as the most
formidable ofdiseases known to American physicians.
1t had for years attracted the closest attention of
the medical faculty in all parts of the United States,
and yet up to the time of the discovery of DIR.
M'Lane's great Specific, it was almost beyond the
reach of medical skill. Thousands had persisted
without even ahope ofrelief, and although thousands
may yet be destined to feel the direful effects of this
most complicated disease, it is now, thanks to the
research of DR.. M'Lane, most completely brought
within the scope o fmedical control. The proprie-
tors of the Liver Pills feel confident that they offer
a remedy which has been fully tested by time, and
which has never failed of success when fairly tried
N- Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.
M'Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none
else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver
Pills, now before the public. DR.. M'Lane's Liver
Pills, also his Celebrated Vermifuge, can now be
had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United
States and Canada. 4S
