or what did General TAYLOR Die !

History will say that The Hero of Buena Wis
ia died OF Chronic Darrhoea. He had Diar-

official treatment for Diarrhoea. Ofwhich did
lie die, the disease or the drugs CalomeI,
Rhubarb, Chalk and Opium constitute the
scientific" remedies in such cases make and
provided. In other worlds the formula is fist
to PROSTATE AID then to congest. Now we
don't say positively that Genral Taylor was the
victim of mercury and narcutne, but we Go
assert that had he been treated with that pure
vege able counter-Irritant Railways Ready Re-
lief he could not have died OF Diarrhoae, Acute
or Chronic. This assertion is based on line
of facts extending through series OF years and
unbroken by a siLsle exception. In all Bowel
Compiaints from Cholera, he most vi:uuDt. to
the rildest form OF Summer Complaints it
is administered with equal and unvarying sue
less Railway Regulating Pills are generally
valuable auxiaries in such cases as they re-
move the natural perodicety Of the excavations.
1t is truly painful to witness the avalanch OF
ieaths of children and adults every summer
and fall under the official Treatment of the reg
ular faculty.
We know that many Of the medicos know
that RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is pos
tive epecfc for the cure of all Bowe! Com

and is it not fair to presume that it will readily
cure LoosoneSS, Dauhoea, Dysentery, Flux
and other minor disorders of the Bowels and
Stomach. Let every family provide a supply

the first symptoms of these disorders, or if Wis
| tied wi malarous Fevers, resort 10 the use OF
these remedies, and we will guarantee that no
