POD0PHILLIN PILLS.

THERE has long existed n public de-
mand for an effective Purg,tive Pill, which
could be relied on as sure and safe in its
operation. This has been prepared to
meet that demand, and an extensive trial
OF It's virtues has conclusively shown with
what success il nccomplishes the purpose
designed The witnesses for the truth Of
this can be produced at any time ii neces-
sary.
II is a complete substitute for Calomel
or Mercur., possessing the good proper
ties OF these powerful Minerals, without
any of its dangerous qualities.
The following extracts from Mineral
Works will show in what estimation the
Podophyllin is held.
The Ei'ctic Dispensatory says - In
Chronic Repatis, affections Of the Liyer)
there is not its superior in the whole range
OF Medicine, it being vastly more useful
than Mercurial agents, arousing the Liver
to healthy action, increasing the flow of
tue bile, and keeping up those actions long
er than any other agent with winch We are
acquainted.'
The United States Dispensatory says
: 1t is An active and certain cathartic pro-
ducing copio, liquid discharges without
much gripeing, or other unpleasant effects.
In some eases it may produce nausea and
even vomiting. but the same result is COCA
sionally experienced from every active Gu
thartic.'
Ho,pers Medical Dictionary says Of
this plant, It is one Of the most certain
aud efficacious cathartic vegetables which
have been examined in this country &c
These Pills are slow but certain, and pow.
erful in their operation in full doses. Per
sons OF ST ong constitution or Of cOstive
habits, c. IN take from to 4 Pills, when
thorough cathartic is required Persons
Of slender constitution, from to 2. Chil
dren from to | Pill, according to age
and circumstances. These Pills are appl
cable to nil Bilious Diseases, C0stiveness,
and hundreds of cases in which physic is
required, but cant be enumerated here,
but they suggest themselves to the reason
Of every one 1t is confidently believed
that this Pill Will answer better purpose
than any thing which has hitherto been
available to the people.
When their virtues are once known the
public will no longer doubt what remedy
to employ when in need Of q thorough ca
thartic Medicine Being sugar coated they
are not disagreeable to take, and being
purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use when cathartic is indicated.

ssIfa stage driver receives money for
whisky, also for delivering it, is he
not a seller in the eyes of the law
Does il matter whether he receives
che money one hour or one day before
he delivers it, or sone hour or one day
afterwards; is he not q liquor seller?
This is SO plain a case that we think
anybody can answer It. But the fol-
lowing presents some nice points. If
one whisky gazsIer gives a two-gallon
jug to the stage driver, and the money
necessary to pay for the liquor, and
tells him to leave it in the old house
by the bridge. as he returns, and an
other guzzler hears him, and lays wait
in or near the old house, and SEXES
without warrant. the jug. and its con
tents. and carries itup the back way,

the nature Of the offence? Is it steal
ing, or just a breach Of trust. or i.
it a legitimate case Of search, seizure

~ Fusion seemsto be infectious. The
Democrats Of the Albany District,
New York. have nominated John X !.
Porter, a Siiver Gray whig, as their
candidate for. State Senator; and. what
is still more curious. both Hards and
Sotts have: concured In the movement.
It shows how firmly the notion of
fusion has taken hold Of the public
mind, Old party ties being dissolved,
it is perfectly natural and proper that
new alliances should be formed among
those who agree in principle. Mr..
Porter, in his letter of acceptance,
states that he has been a Democrat al
heart fer several years. 1t was only,
however, on being nominated by them
for office, that he mustered courage to
confess it. ,,ss 80. :. .'s.s =
This is sit should be. We love
to see the friends. of slavery, Jusin9
whether north or south. On the 9th
er hand we want fusion Of those who
are opposed to itsextension. Let eve.
nv man know that these are fusion
times, aud let him choose with which
side he will act. whether for or against
freedom.
