Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY pHYSlC

arc so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely Withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigoratc every portion of the human or
ganism, correcting its diseased action, and re-
storing its healthy vitalities. As q consequence
of these properties, the invalid who is bowed
down with pain or physical debility is astonished
TO find his health or energy restored by a remedy
at once SO simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday COM
plants of every body, but also many formida
BILE and dangerous diseases. The agent below
named is pleased to furnish gratis my American
Almanac, containing certificates of their cures
and directions for their use in the following COM
plants: CostireneSs, Heartburn, Headache drfs-
ing from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion,
Pam in and Morbid Inaction of the BowelS, Flat
ulency, Loss Of appetite, Jdundice, and other
kindred complaints, arising from n low state of
the body or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprinciplcd Dealers with
some other pill they make more profit on. Ask
for AYERS PILLS, and take nothing else.

The fashion of hoops has been the
means of a terrible accident at Salem,
Oregon. Miss Ellen Umplet was riding
on horseback, when, loosing her bal
ance. she fell backwards, and her hoops
caught upon the horn Of the saddle
The horse became frightened and ran
away with her along a fence for several
hundred yards, when the point Of a rail
caught in her mouth, tearing the whole
side Of her face out and breaking her
jaw in two places-the conclusion strip
ping the clothes entirely from her, and
thus freeing her from the horse.

Ague Cure.

III NbhE We
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague.
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers; indeed
for the whole Glass Of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by tho nc.
c~cssltics of the American people than n sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such Il remedy
we are now enabled TO offer, with a perfect GER
tainty that it will eradicate the disease, ard with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents Ills dis.
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prerention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of This ba.efil
distcmpcr. This "CuRE" expels the mias-
matte poison of FEVER AND AGrE from the
system, and prevents the development Of the
disease, If taken on the first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever yet discovered for this class of com
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tity we supply for u dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AMI AGUE prevails, every body
should have it, and use it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all-the poor as well as the
rich. a great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intermittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces
no quinism or other injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy us if they had never had the dis
case.
Fever and Aguc is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety ofdis-
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,
and arrangement of the Stomach, all of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the inter.
mittcnt type, or become periodical. This CURE"
cxpels the poison from the blood, and consc-
quently cures them all alike. 1t is an invalua-
bic protection to immigrants, and persons trav-
Cling or temporarily residing in the malarious
districts. If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed to the infection, that will be excretcd
from the system, and cannot accumulate in suf-
ficicnt quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure,
and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if
they avail themselves of the protection this rem
cdy affords. h

followed by a majority of American writers, so
far as our observation extends.-N. Carolina

EvAroRATIoN.-From the whole surface of
the ocean, says DIR. Dick, there arises, every
twelve hours, no less than thirty millions of
cubic feet of water, which is more than suffci-
cnt to supply all the rivers on the earth. This
immense body OF water is formed into clouds,
and carried over every part of the continents
and again it is condensed into rain, snow, or
dews, which fertilize the earth. Should this
process pause we might wash our clothes, but
centuries would not dry them, for evaporation
alone produces this effect; vegetation would
wither rivers would swell the ocean; the ope-
rations of nature would cease. So close is the
connection between this process and vegetable
and animal life. Prase the Lord, for he caus-
eth the vapors to ascend from the ends Of the
earth"

DEATH OF A FEMALE CENTENARIAN-Mrs
Anna Pope, of Spencer, Mass, died on the 14th
inst at the great age of one hundred and fire
years. Her immediate death had not been an
ticipated till within ten days when she began to
decline rapidly and at last passed away without
disease and almost without pain. Her husband,
the Rev. Joseph Pope was for upwards of half
century, minister in Spencer and died many
years ago. She leaves four defendants among
whom are her son Mr.. VIM. Pope with whom
she lived, and grand daughter, the wife of
Hon. VIM. Upham of Spencer. Mrs. Pope was
probably the only living person who remember
ed Whitfield, and the march of Burgoynes cap
tured troops was fresh in her memory nearly
eighty years after.
