DIR. GRAVES FAMlLG MEDICINES.
We do not desire to interfere with the professional
ethics of medical schools, nor do possess any
skill in pharmareutics, but DIR. Graves has opened
to our inspection of letters from his agents
and most table druggists in all parts of the
country, which commend his family medicines in
the highest terms. They meet with very extended
sale, which of itself is excellent recommendation.
We always feel reluctant to make any endorse
mcnt of medicines, but there many localities
where regular practitioners are within reach,
and so MANY diseases WHICH require nrpmpL- rcne-
DIR. Graves, commeH ded as they for efficiency,
would prove almost invaluable. In all eases of
Sickness first advice is to call the aid of ply
sician, bat, if that is impracticahle it to
that DIR. Graves offers remedial agents in ague,
cholera mOrbuS, &c, which may be safely used, as
he gives assurance that tlcetcrious compounds
are used in their reparaton.-LoUisriUe JourRai

names Of the heaviest capitalists and ablest bu-
siness men attached to the announcements
The organizing Board Of Directors Of the
State Bauk were in session at Iowa City last
week. The above facts indicate the near ap-
proach Of the time when Iowa will have cur.
rency of her own, Ia sound and safe one-we
have every reason to expect and believe. We
cannot suppose that 8 locality Of so much BIZ

to be without Bank, indeed il is reported that
a gentleman deeply interested here designs ia
go into the business, but we DO not feel at lib.
