in adults or children are controlled like mag
ic by the DiGrrh2d Pills, while it may be
averred without the possibility of successful
contradiction, that the Dyseatery Pills are the
most perfect Specific for that disease known
For the various forms of
FEVERS, SCARLET FEVER, MEASLES,
and other diseases Of children, the Feper Pilts
may be safely and surely relied upon
These Specifics are the prescriptions of Prof

practi;e and to the perfection of which he has
experience and study.
The public may rest assured that during
the lifetime &C DR. II. no one has been or
shall be intrusted with The preparation Of his
Specifics, and he offers the guaranty of his
professional life and reputation that they shall
be just as he represents them.
They have now been before the public for
five years, and have everywhere won golden
opinions from the many thousands who have
used them.
Simple, free from intricacy, technicality, or
danger, they have become the ready recourse
and aid of the parent, traveller, nurse, or in
valid, and have become the family physician
and medical adviser of thousands of families
Nowhere have they been tried without having
been approved, and their highest appreciation
is among those who have known them longest
and most intimately.
EO0y Fanajly will find these Specifics all
they have been recommended: prompt relia-
bic, simple and efficient; often friend in need
and friend indeed .....

A Pc Nc IN R0ulet-The children
of this District assembled at the Red
School House, it being the last day of
school, and enjoyed themselves with a
real treat, provided by their parents and
others And such treat never saw.
Such supply of cakes, candy, raisins,
sweet-meats, pies, &c, never saw on
such an occasion ; not even at wedding.
Seventy-one took supper, and there was
lots of the delicious yiands left, uhich was
distributed TO the needy. The children
have made good progress during the Sum-
mer term of school, which speaks well for
their teacher, Miss Pomeroy. Every
thing indicated peace and harmony
throughout the entire afternoon. John
Lyman addressed the children with a short
but feeling speech. Then they all went
10 their different kinds of amusement
At evening all went to their homes, salts
fed that it has been a profitable season
for them, and pleasing to their parents.

abusing her for the manner in which she treated him.
She denied The accusations and after some hard words
between them LIE seized the Ratchet and commenced
