ADvERTIsING.-There are some people in the
world, says the Rome Sentinel, who pretend to
think nothing is gained by advertising. Such
persons however are scarce, and are seldom if
ever found amongst our most substantial busi-
ness men. A man of business, who intends to
make living by his occupation, might as well
attempt to do without a newspaper, clerk, or
the tools and implements of his trade, as to
think of succeeding without advertising. Be-
fore one can do business in the world he must
let the people know that he is in it, and ready to
do business. This getting behind stump to
do business ON the sly" or in whisper, is like
the attempt of dumb man to make an audi
ence of 5000 persons understand what he wants
to say, by the mere movement of his lips.
Such mode of doing business will hardly
answer at the present day. The people now are
too progressive, and have too much go-aheadi-
tiveness about them to spend their time to look
up garret or down cellar after business men, or
to find such things as they want. We live in a
reading community, and newspapers are read in
every family. What is not advertised in the pa
pers' persons conclude, and perhaps rightfulIy
too, that such things are not in existence, or if
to be found, not worth purchasing.
We will venture small sum, that the adver-
tsing columns of a newspaper are devoured
with almost as much avidity as are the editorial.
Those who imagine that there is nothing new
or interesting in advertisements, will be unde-
ceved by daily referring to the advertising COL
umns.

CAUTION TO ENTERERs OF PUBLIC LANDS
It having been alleged to the General Land Of
nee that "some persons have obtained 10000
acres OF public domain, under the guise of the
graduation law passed at the last session of
Congress, acknowledging that they have evaded
the law on the ground that it does not require
them to state when they design making the set
tlement under it," we have to say that under the
construction which the Secretary of the Interi-
or and Commissioner of the General Land Of
flee put on the law in question, no such swind-
ling entries will be patented. The construction
of the act, which these authorities announce, is,
that the reduction of price is to operate only
in favor of 3 classes of persons -
First-To persons who were actual settlers
and occupants at the time of the enactment of
the law, or such as hereafter may become such
settlers, and who may be entitled to pre-emp-
ton. r.
Second-To persons who desire the same
for his or her own use, and for the purpose of
actual settlement and cultivation" That is,
where the land is desired for the immediate use
of that particular person as a farm for himself
or family, and for no other use and purpose; and
Thrd-To persons who already occupy or
own land previously acquired, who may be desi-
rous of securing public land adjoining that SO
occupied or owned with view to the extension
of their present I" farm or plantation" No 9TH
er person can rightfuly avail himself of the
provisions of the graduation law in this respect.
All entries made under other circumstances will
be regarded by the General Land Office as ille-
gal, and therefore void. Washington Star.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten-
sive trial Of its virtues has concusvely 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 purgatve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This IS not. Many Of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system to more
than counterbalance 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 1t is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
pllicablc 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, Languor and Loss Of Ap-
petite, Lstlessness Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some sngularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel
Erysipelas Palpitation Of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken i'll 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.
tte and vgor They purify the blood, and, by theil
stimulant action on the crculatory system, reno.
yate 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
physic 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 then
virtues are once known, the public will no longci
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of {
cathartic medicine.

PARKERsBURG MINERAL WELL.

ME undersigned, Propretors, respectfully
announce that this celebrated watering
place, is now open for the reception and accom-
mediation of visitors. During the last year, con-
siderable additions have been made to the prop
erty, in the way Of buildings, sleeping apat-
ments, &c.--so that we will be enabled to enter
tain larger number Of guests, with more comfort
than heretofore. The subscribers deem it tunnec-
essary to commend the medicinal properties Of the
water in these wells; their virtues are already so
well known and so highly appreciated by the
public, that further eommendation would be
supernuous. Let it suffice, that, in cases OF
dyspepsia dropsy, and other maladies arising from
disordefed conditions of the liver or stomach, the
PARKERsBuRG MINERAL WELLS are unryalled, as
almost countless witnesses will testify, who came
hither as invalds and were cured by these waters.
