| each traced from the time that the first European
foot pressed its soil or the pioneer settler raised
his cabin and commenced an opening IN Its forest.

NC MEDICINE has ever been introduced in
II this country that is giving such universal sat
isfaction as DR.. Wilson'S Dysentery Povders.-
They arc very highly commended by all that
have tried them, for their successful operation in
checking Dysentery, Diarrhea, Cholera Morbus,
and all kinds Of bowel complaints. They are safe
ly without producing Inflammation or fever. One
Powder taken in the first stages Of the disease
will usually cure. In extreme cases it may be nee
e,sary to repeat the dose. A remedy that can be

MYTHOLOGY tells us that Medea, a famous
sorceress, could renew youth, and make old men
young again. Paleophatus says that her secret
was this--that from a knowledge of simples she
had a receipt to mako white hair black, and to
reduce old heads to the texture of youth. The
Argentine Halt Dye verifcs the suppositlon, by
the cabalistic transformation it effects among the
