feeling Of the utmost confidence in its virtues
and adaptation to the diseases for which ills

1t is no new and untred article, but one
that has stood the test Of ten years trial
before the American people, and lbs reputation
and sale is unrivallcd by any similar prepara-
tions extant. The testimony in its favor Civ
en- by the most prominent and well known
Physicians and individuals in all parts Of the
country is immense. and a careful perusal Of
the Almanac, published annually by the pro.
prietor; and to be had gratis Of any Of his
Agents, cannot out satisfy the most skeptical
that this remedy is really deserving the great
celebrity it has obtained.

Countcrfcitcrs Arrested.

The officers of St. Joseph county,

portant arrests Of several of a gang OF

follows:
A man named John McDOugall, Of no.
toriously bad reputation, ran away from
Chatham, c. w. some time ago, and SET
tied on Sturgis Prairie. A short time
since. rascal named Mallett. escaped
from Chatham. Tor whom the sheriff OF
