Many years ago. the only inn at the Irish

to reside in the neigh borhood, and being

changed his sign to the "Bishop's Head )"
Another inn was shortly after opened in the

old inn, finding that the rival establishment,
owing to its name, threatened to deprive him

A SHRBwD IDIoT.-A well-known idiot
Jamie Fraser. belonging to the parish OF
Lunan, in Forfarshre, quite surprised peo
pie some times by his replies. The con
gregation of his parish church had for some
time distressed the minister by their habit
OF sleeping in church He had often en-.
deavored to impress them with a sense Of
the improprioty of such conduct, and one
day Jamie was sitting in the front gallery
wide awake, and many were slumbering
around him, the clergyman endeavored to
awaken the attention of his hearers by
stating the fact, saying: "You see, even
Jamie Fraser, the idiot, does not fall asleep,
as many Of you are doing" jamie, not
liking, perhaps, to be TINS designated, coolly
replied An l hadna been an idiot Wad

O R GINAL LIVER PILLS
Oh hEu uLAIOhS,
PU RELY VEG JET BILE.

P u RELY EGET BILE.
These Pills are not offered to the public as q
novelty, or a universal panacea for all the ills
that flesh is heir to- They have been extensively
used, and their virtues are well known to many
who win be glad to learn that the proprietor has
made arrangements to continue the manufacturs
on scale equal to the increasing demand. The
Pills are all made under his personal supervision
and Can therefore be relied on those which have
given so much satisfaction to all who have used
them. The oft repeated assertion that in bilious
diseases, and the various disorders of the Liver,
there is no remedy but mercury, in blue pill or
some other form, has been proven false by ample
testimony from tn ,se who have used these purely
vegetable Pills. 1t is true. however, that to rem
edy a arrangement of the bilious secretion you
must have something to act directly and power
fully at times upon the liver; but it Ia not true
that mercury is the only agent capable of pro-
ducing this specific action. The simple combina'
tion of vegetable principles in these pills produces
the same positive action upon the Liver as caO'
mel, and will correct the arrangement Of that
organ as surely, without the risk Of any unpleas-
ant or injurious consequences, at the same time
they have an Alternative and tonic effect, which Is
the secret of their great superiority.
The circumstances under which the formula fOf
these Pills came into the possession of the Pro
prietor, some year ago, were peculiar and induced
him to prepare, from time to time, such quaint.
ties as would enable him to supply the wants Of
his friends but, owing to the astonishing results
produced by their use. the demand has increased
so rapidly that be is compelled to manufacture on
q much larger scale than was contemplated, and
the unsought testimony, from various quarters, Of
the great efficacy ard uniformly gratifying results
experienced in cases of bilious affections, fever
and ague, and other disorders arising from de-
rangement of the hillary organs proves beyond
all doubt that these Pills are capable of efectins
the most surprising cures on record, and oil who
suffer in any way from der,sngement of the func'
tions Of the Liver, should have them al hand
