Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the " many ills flesh is heir to- is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much neg lected as Costveness. Often originating in care lcssncss. or sedentary habits; it is regarded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless early eradcated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual attendant are Headache, Collie, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a long train of frishttul diseases such Malignant Fevers, Abcesses Dysentery, Diarrhea, Dyspcp- sia, Aooplexy. Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Fly poch"ndriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first in- dicate their presence in the system by this alarm ing symptom. Not unfrcquentiy the diseases named originate in Constipation but take on an Independent existence unless the cause is cradca- ted in an early stage. From all these consi,lcra- 'tions it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get q box of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will expel the insiduous ap- breaches ot disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

GE3 HEADACHE is the favorte sign by which na- ture makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain and viewed in this light it may be looked on as safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might otherwise escape attention till too late to be remedied and it's indications should never be neglected. HeaG- aches may be classified under two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head- ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In it's nervous form it is sympathetic of disease of the stomach constituting sick headache of heptic disease constituting BILIOUS HEADACHE, of worms, constipation and other disorders of the bowels as we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches; Anamia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of NERVOUS HEADACHE, sometimes coming on suddenly in state of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heraldcd by depression of spirits acerbity of temper In most
 instances the pain is in the front of the head over one orboth eyes, and sometimes provoking vom-
 ting; under this class may also be named NEU- RALGIA.
 For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Headacne is the unerring index

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.
