Do YOU WANT A SHAWL

" K find, upon looking through our
w stock of Shawls, thatwe have more on hand
than we can sell this at the regular prices and
in order to close out stock OF them we have de,
termined to offer the remainder of them at lower
price than we have ever sold them. We have on
hand quite large assortment of Long Cashmere
Shawls, which we have determined to sell at $40
apiece; and we feel confident they will not be met
with elsewhere within several dollars of that price
but we purchased very largely Of them at auction,
and have determined TO make the sacrifice rather than
carry them over. If you think of buying Shawl,
90 not faii to look at ours before making the pur-
chase.
SILKS AND OTHER DRESS GOODS.
We also have on hand very large stock of rich
Silks and other Dress Goods, which we are anxious
to reduce by the 25th of this month and in fact we
are disposed to offer all kinds of winter goods ex-
tremely cheap from this time out And as our stock
is generally large and weassorted, cash customers
and those who pay us promptly have now an oppor-
tunity TO purchase what winter goods they may wish
at very low figure.

PINE HILL, March 4, 1854
DEAR SIR: | have been subject of Dyspepsia in
its worst FORM for the last FIVE years. Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die While in this con-
dton, was carried to the watering places in vir-
guia, Tennessee, and North Carolina but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken While
on my way home, / stopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect Of
some Chalybcate water nthat place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians the store and one of them
seemed to take some interest in my case and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
Hoohands German Bitters," prepared by yeu and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day my ROOM and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it, and commenced taking il as
directed and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home one of my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine Che dyspeptc,
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
on me for more of the same kind of medicine saying
be was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able-to get any more for
him or myself since. Will you, therefore, please ship
me dozen more as soon possible
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
