HaIseysS Forest Pills


TINE FOREST PILLS neither gripe nor weaken
i the system. This Is because they contain no
de!eterious drugs or minerals but are extracts of
plants which are wholesome as the food we eat.
A CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly, but without gripping pains, producing
weakness.
II Is FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives;
sach drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the SYSTEM
The stronger the vital functions the more power
have they to throw off disease when assisted by a
good medicine.
MILLIONS OF BOXES
OF the FOREST PILLS have been used, with the
most happy results. Letters and certificates from
every part of the Union and British Colonies;
testifying to the good effects. and the cures of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
READERi / never Knew a single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the most decided
benefit. Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient persevered in them for q reasonable
length of time, they have effected a cure in every
instance which has come to my knowledge. 1t
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not madetrom common drugs as all other pills are,
but that they prepared from the medicinal vir-
tues of certain plants. which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body. ! will MENTION
for example, three of these plants, which well
known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK, and
SA nod AhILLA. j ne OtnerS are iOund growing
wild in the forests and their medicinal properties
are ten times more effective than those 1 have
named. Were it not for making known the s, cret

give their names. Suffice it to saw that the midi

Winchester, Tenn /:
TUESDAY MORNING, DEC, I'd.
Lieutenant General Smith,

we give all our available space this morning
to the publication of an elaborate and inter
esting history of the late campaign of the army
under Gen. E. KIRBY SMITH, into Kentucky.
lhe writer endeavors, without doing injustice
to Others, to separate the chain Of events which
marked the track of this expedition from the
more stupendous campaign into which it was
subsequently, merged. In this we are not sure
but that the writer has performed an act of
simple justice which the impartial mind will
unhesitatingly approve. The brilliant and
bold expedition which Gen. SMITH led through
the long, narrow and difficult mountain passes
that separate East Tennessee and Kentucky,
is excelled by no campaign Of the kind, either
viewed In its plan, execution, or results, whose
history is written in the records of modern
warfare. +,
There is. one stand point from whichthe view
of Gen. SMITHS Kentucky campaigni is most
thrlllingly gratifying, and especially so to Ten
nes'eans, in the fact, that the blood of the dar-
Ing ZoLLIcoFFER was avenged not far from the
field Of his disaster. He and his brave soldiers
who fell at Fishing Creek were vindicated at
the battle Of Richmond, and their blood was
nobly avenged. ~CRITTENDES's defeat in the
first campaign into kentucky inaugurated q

Capt. Thos. I. Estill.

In our columns to-day will be found
an invitation to the funeral ceremonies
Of this estimable man. A large circle
OF admiring friends, both at home and
abroad, will learn with sorrow Of his
death. d,a r.l
Among the victims of this cruel war
are numbered many, many Of the no..
blest IONS of tho South. Some have
fallen amid the havoc and thunder of
battle. This was not the lot Of Capt.
Estill, but we believe the trials of the
campaign were the fastening causes of
his much .to.be .lamented death.

his profession, and by his superior judy
ment in that line, Civil engineering
and his affability and warm. hearted
ness as a man VOL a high place in the
esteem Of all who knew, him. h.
The first intination that troops would
be needed to defend our homes found

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, It
pcrvades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on amy part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits. the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venercal infection. What
ever he its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending +" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seer,s to be the rod of linn who says, q
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which gcntlcrs in the blood, dcpresscs
the energies of lifc SO that scrof,,los constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofiilous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases: conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofilons in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly

and. indeed, of oil the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the sumo cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrof,lous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking i'm
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovatc
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in.
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,

for the whole class Of diseases originate
ing fM hillary derangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken the first APP
proaeh Of its pIemonsmy symptoms, Itisnot only
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as it
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. great variety of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Ne,algia, Rheumatism, Goa, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioothache, EarGche, Catay7h, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Election Of the Spleen, Hyster-
les, Pain in TIE Boscels, Colo, Paralysis and De-
arrangement Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This " CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and canno'
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it II even more valuable for protet
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
