DIR. Roback's Discoveries.


We can not shut our eyes to the fact, that
DR.. Roback's famous Medicines, the Scandi-
navian Blood Pills and Purifier, are effectlnG
wonderful cures of Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
sia, Liver complaint and rheumatism, in all
parts of .he West. Planters and Farmers
upon whose words we can rely, assure US that
such is the case, and the newspapers with
which we exchange confirm the statement.
The Blood Pills and Blood Purifier, as their
names import, act specifically upon the active
principle of disease in the Animal Fluids
The distributive system of bloodvessels and
nerves, which irrigate the whole body with the
element of vitality. becomes, when that ele-
ment is tainted with corruption, d.ssemina-
tion of the seeds of disease. 1t is upon this
circulating poison, this deadly virus, propelled
through the veins and arteries to the destruc,
ton of health and life, that DR.. Roback's prep
arations act. They change the chemical char
acter of the blood, revitalize it, render it pure
and nutritious. Graphing with and destroy
ing the very root of a disorder, their cures are
complete and permanent. We invite atten-
tion to DR.. RS advertisement.

great weight, and will be carefully con-
sidered if any new experiment is made.
There are other provisions which have
been suggested to us, against the accidents
to which the plans for laying submarine
cables have thus far proved to be liable,
which we will submit without argumant
for what they are worth:
"a cable coiled cannot be uncoiled
without kinks
Therefore, the cable must be reeled to
be laid
"The necessity for two vessels to lay
the cable, quadruples (and more) the risk
of accidents.
therefore, the cable must be laid from
one ship.
"The voyage to England is easier, short
er and safer than the voyage from Eng
land:
"Therefore, the vessel with the cable
should start from this side.
s.There is one vessel, and one only, OF
tonnage and room sufficient to carry the
whole of the cable, to wit: the Levathan:
Therefore, the cable, if ever laid at
all, must be slowed on a succession OF
reels in the Leviathan, and the Leviathan
must sail from our own shores"
If these views should be deemed to
possess any value, it would be easy for the
Leviathan to bring the cable here to this
country and lay it on her first trip home

Holoway's PiHs.-Among the many
obstinate diseases for which the Pills are
an assured and permanent remedy, may be
reckoded hobitual costiveness. This dis
tressing and painful complaint affects the
intellect as well as the physical system,
occasioning stupor, loss of memory, and
confirmed melancholy. The worst cases
which, by the way, are only aggravated
by ordinary cathartics-yield invariably
to course of this mild and yet active
remedy; and the bowels, once regulated
by its use, seldom require repetition OF
the medicine

will net deviate.
We do not wish to open any new accounts,

We repudiate the present custom of selling to
one person at one price, and to another, at a
different price-everythin being marked at a
fixed PRICE, in plain figures, the smallest boy
in the store will sell as cheap as the owners,
and child can buy cheap as the greatest
