RADW REGULATORS-The dis
covery of this last great remedy establishes in
medicine entirely new principles, which the
medical writers and sages have for years il
vain sought to discover. In Railway Regu.
lafors We give 20 the world a cathartic, purga-
tive aperient, diuretic, diaphoretic, and above
all a Regulator of the whole human body.
A pill that, while it purges from the bod
the refuse deposits. it hen4s all sores, ulcers d
~irritatio in the bowels or mucuous membrane
| Renewed strength follows every operation, ana
instead of the patient growing weaker by thei
excavations, as is the result that follows al
drastic pills, every organ, nerve and tissue @
the body is strengthened by their healing
clausing and regulating efficacy: The use G
Railways Regulators will dispense entirel'
with that bancful drug Calome1, Blue Pill O
Mercury, in any form all the good effects eth
er 'Ethe doctor or the patient expects to de
rive from the use of Mercury will be secure,
by Railways Regulators, without ~endangerin;
the system by salivating it. Hence the grea
important advantage which the discovery o
Railways Regulators secures to the human
race, in sudden attacks of Yellow Fever, Ty
plus Fever, Scarlet Fever, Congested, Bilious
Remittant, and Intermittant Fevers. In Chol
era, Dysentery, and all other infections anC
malignant maladies, Railways Regulators arr
just The Remedy required in those m%alignan
cases. They heal oil sores and ulcers, eithe
in the bowels or on the coat of the stomach
even if til, whole intestines were raw and III
cerous along the whole length of the bowels
they will not irritate occasion any pain the
expell quickly all poisonous and infectious de
posts, and will, as soon as dissolved in tn
stomach, withdraw the congested and aeeumu
lated huInours from the interior surface eff tn
bowels, and expell all such humours %entirelI
from the system.
Another great influence they exert upon tn
system is their regulating powers. No matte

A Candid Deacon.

Deacon NJ was an honest old codger,
a kind, obliging neighbor, a good
church-going christian, believing in the
Presbyterian creed to the ullest extent;
but alackaday! this pillar of the church
was, at times, a little 'shaky-in fact,
the deacon would, occasionally, get ex~
ceedingIy mellow and almost every
Sunday at dinner he would indulge in
his favorite cider-brandy to such an ex-
tent that it was with some little diff
Guilty he reached his pew, which was in
the broad aisle, near the pulpit, and
between the minister's and the village
'squire's. One Sunday morning the
parson told his flock hat he should
preach a sermon to them in the after
noon, touching many glaring sins that
he grieved to see so conspicuous among
them Z; and that he hoped they would
listen attentiyely and not finch if he
should happen to be severe. The af-
ternoon came, and the house was full ;
everybody turned out to hear their
neighbors dressed down by the minis
ter, who, after we'll opening his sermon,
commenced upon the transgressor in a
loud voice, with the question-'Where
is the drunkard 2 A solemn pause
succeeded this inquiry when up rose
Deacon NJ, with his face radiant from
copious draughts of the favorite drink
at his noontide meal, and steadyins
himself as we'll as he could by the pew
rail, and looked up to the parson AMI
replied, in a piping and tremulous voic,

however, the parson went on with hi
remarks as he had written them, con
menting severely upon the drunkarC
and winding up by warning him to fo
i, sake at once such evil habits if he woul
seek salvation and fee the comm
