He was a Stranger to Her.

We heard Of young married couple, from
the country. Of course, who recently attended

bride being pretty, attracted the attention Of a
s:ylish-lOOking city gent, who happened TO Oc-
cupy the same seat of the twain. During the
exhibition the audience part Of the hall, being
already obscured, by some accident the light
was entirely extinguished. Pending its recov-
cry, which occupied some little time, the city

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on
and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical ftH, 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 purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion Ill the system as 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 arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judicousy. Minute directions for their
in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicabe are given the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion Languor and Loss of APP
petite Listessness, lrTitabiity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague Pam in the Side
and Lons for, in TRUTH all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action IN the liver. AS an
aperient they afford prompt and relief in Cos
tiveness, 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 where purgative is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism Govt, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipeas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in 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 vigor They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of the whole organism
Hence occasional dose is advantageous,
though serious arrangement exists but
necessary dosing should never be carried too far
every purgatve 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 a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
For minute directions see wrapper on the Box.
