 INIE Proprietor in presenting this medicine to x community where it is but little known. is well aware that there persons who not only cry oat :" humbug' about medicines, but about every thing else with which they are not acquainted; and if we all had been of this class, would now be hvlngh the dark ages. But the inquring and investigating mind has shed light upon eyuy department oi Science and there Is not a Doctor, Farmer or Me chanic, in your community but can look back upon d few short years and be aSOnished at the rapid lm provements made in Medicine, Agriculture and Me chanism. We live in age of improvement, andt will not do to say that man will tal at any thing ne undertakes. You must know that new remedies are being discovered every year for mans benett So my friends give thi. medicine fair trial. Bloody EuN, Cholera and Diarrhea are carrying off thousands oi our fellow citizens annually, and it would be bes sing to our country if some medicine could be made tocure diseases so fatal in their consequences To ths end have given years of study, and can now con hdently assert that have succeeded in getting up medicine for the cure of the above diseases, and challenge the world to produce its equal.
 Ihls preparation having been tested and approved by the best Physicians of the country. now stands unequaled by any medicine of like kindin tine woro. It's effect for revealing Pains in the Bowels, eurihs Dlarrhea, and other diseases of the Bowels and eaN ing them at the same time in good healthy condiuon' has been truly astonishing.
 would respectfully ask the ladies, whom God seems to have set apart for the afflicted u try this medicine and if it proves good, to reeon'- mend 1t to their neighbors.

 4th. No matter what is the size of the cob, or shape every kernel is taken off and done neatly, that not even the CHIT and HUsK that holds the corn is at all disturbed or rubbed of, hence the corn is Clean, deposited in box or bag. while the cobS unbroken. are laid on side by the machine itself.
