OF Mr.. JONATHAN Hougham, of West Union
Park County. Illinois, writes to the proprietor
that he had suffered greatly from a severe and pro
tracted attack Of Fever and Aguc, and was com
pletey restored TO health by the use Of the Live
Pills alone. These Pills unquestiouaby posses
great tonic properties, aud can be taken with deS
cided advantage for many diseases requiring in
vieornting remedies; hut the Liver Pills stand
pre-emir Cnt MS u means OF restoring dsorganiz-
ed Liver to healthy action; hence the great celc-
brity they have attained, The numerous formd-
able diseases arising from a diseased Liver, which
so long baGled the skill OF the most eminent ply
sicians Of the United States, are now rendered
easy Of cure, thanks to the study and persever-
ance Of the distinguished ply stefan whose name
this great medicine bears-a name which will de-
ccnd to posterity as one deserving Of gratitude.
This invaluable medicine should always be kept
within reach; and on the appearance Of the earli-
est symptoms, ofdseascd Liver, it can be safely
and usefuDy administered.
OF Persons will be careful to ask for DR. M
Lanes Celebrated Vermiiugc, and take non,
else. All other Vermiluges. in comparison, are
worthless. DIR M Lant's VermiCuge, also hi

other column it will be seen that, among
the appointments made by the Canal
Board at its late meeting, is that of JAS
P. WADE, of our county, as superintend-
ent of the Georgetown line Of chat work.
Although the competition for this post
was quite animated, there can be no doubt
that the result will give general satisfac-
ton to all acquainted with the appointee,
and especially to the Democracy, who
know his qualifications for the duties of
the station, his answering adherence to
the principles of his party, and his indie
fatigable and effective exertions in the
cause which he has ever had at heart. -
We speak advisedly and sincerely when
we say that this appointment is an made
quate tribute to the services of the in
cumbent, and but slight reward for his
perseverance in the path of duty As
an officer, all connected with him in
business will find that he fully under
stands his calling as a man, all will
appreciate his urbane and accommoda-
