THERE has long existed public demand for Mn
ehcctive purgativc pill which could BE relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
oeen prepared to meet that demand, and an cxten-
syc trial OF its virtues has conclusvcly shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
IL Is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
tne pubic decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not Many of them produce so much
grlpmg pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than countcrbalance the good to be derived from
them These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless It arise from previously existing obstruc-
tion or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity butt III better that any medicine should
Se taken judciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they arc an
pIcable are given on the box. Among the COM
may mention Liver Complaint in its various forms
Of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ar.
Pente Iistlessness, lrritability, Bilious Headache.
and Lons for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action iii the liver. Az an
apericnt, they afford prompt and relief in Cos
hyeness' Piles, Collie, Dysentcry, lIumors, Scrof-
nla and Scuryy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood lin short, any
and every case where purGa.iyc is required.
1hey have also produced some ,singularly
SsSoii CURES III hHculllatlSm, Gout l)rOpSy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palptation of the Heart Pains i'll tho
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring Of tho year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons
hp occasional dose stimulates the stomach md
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appc-
tito and vgor They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the crculatory system, reno
Vate the strength of the body, and restore tho
wasted or diseased energies of The whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
nn.snC hngtfNr, H..
as every purgativo medicine reduces the strength
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves TO the reason Of every
body; and it Is confidently believed this pill wI
answer better purpose than any thing which ha-
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer

that almost eyory section Of the country abounds
IN persons publicly known. who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the

over ever, other medicine of its kind is too appar.

1t ba, been stated iu one Of the daily papers that
uDder the prir cple Of the Gaze of Williams against
the New-York Central Railroad Company, recently
decided in the Court Of Appeals, the various city
railroads are liable to pay damages and compeps.-
ton to the owners Of lots bordering the streets
through which the rails are laid. 1t is understood
that several suits have been commenced or are in.
tended to be co. by such owners, and it is impor-
tsnt to them that the above statement should be
corrected. In the case above cited, the plaintiff
had gratutcusly dedicated to the public use tho
street in Syracuse through which the railway was
afterwaId built. He WAS allowed to recover dam
ages on the ground that the grant to the pubic was
of mere easement, or right to use the LAID a. o
halfway, the fee still remaining in the gransor.
He itill owned the land, and therefore any other
u,s Of tie ,treet-boilding railway, for instance
was trespass on the rights Of the plaintiff, since
it was done without his consent, and therefore no
was entitled to damages.
The case with the greater part Of the streets CT
this city 10 different, and they are especially ex-
&C pied in the decision. "In every street opened
in New York under the provisions Of the acts OF
"IsO7 and 1913, the fee in the soil 10 vested in the
city. i. is devessed from the orig iGl oTnars.'
The railroad companies therefore can lay down
their tracks by consent of the Corporation alone,
without eon,ulHrs or being liable TO the owners oil
the abuttirg lots.

The Herald. We think, il decidedly too hard upon

The Herald, We Think, is decidedly too hard upon
ito proteet, Mayor Wood. Because Mayor Wood
forcby rssi,d the Metropolitan POli'e law it does
not follow that he can reasonably be expected to
resist al the other laws Of the statute book. 1t
must b con,idered that in the matter OF resist
"a the metropolitan Police act, Mayor Wood had
pee uliar Advantages and facilities. He had at his
ti.pcsal, with which to carry on that war, the old
police, filed up in srea. measure with per'ons
selected for their devotedness to him. 1t must be
obvious to The Herald that, in dispating with the
Dew Mayor elect the possession of that office, Mr.
Wood wouli fail entirely of these convenient
hackers. Besides, the Mayors experience in that
operation has hardly been Of kind to encourage
further attempts Of the ,ers If with al organized
police force to sustain him be found himself 50 soon
