has grown in its details to Il magnitude
which gives it prc-cminence among the mon
strosites Of crime. seldom or never equaled

munity was so unpreI AIRED for IA horror 50
appalling that it could scarcely credit the

to it, The pursuit. arrest and confession Of
the sole actor in this tragedy dl>closes the
whole transaction to the public gaze in all
its shocking details, and making the very

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
ND
LIVER PILLS.

WE beg leave to call the atten-
W ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr.. ChaG M'Lane's Celebrated
.Vermiluge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from tn
human system. 1t has also bea
administered with the most sat,
factory results to various Auuas
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTs SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of.
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING Brothers,
PITTSBURGH, Pa.
to dispose Of their Drug business
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DR.. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most Thorough
manner. Address all orders to
