DR. c. W. ROBACK-Sr: Your Blood Puri'
fer and Pills sell better here than any other
medicines I could keep. They are just the med
icine for the people, peculiarly adapted for the
cure of Fever and Ague, but the people use them
as general medicine.
To break an attack of the Ague take table
spoonful of the Blood Purifier every hour, and
then cleanse the stomach and bowels well with
your Pills, n three days the complaint will
be removed and permanent cure effected.
A who try this treatment before applying to
physician will be saved much cost and suffering.

DAY before yesterday soldier stole
two boots from the shoe shop of j. Land

look at the stolen property, and carried
off two odd boots Yesterday morning
Mr. L hung out one of the two remain
ing odd boots in front of shop, and in
less than an hour it had been carried off,
in all probability by the same man who
had on the previous day stolen the odd
boots Mr. L. has now but one boot of
the two pairs left, and he is unable to

expected to leave it where he got it, and
nothing further will be said about it.

unrestrained by the rebuking eyes of their own

umphed oyer the lust. The greed for gold and
suver sW allowed eP the more animal passions, !
and drunkenness supervened in season for the
safety of manv. We have heard of some few
outrages, or attempts at outrage, of the worst
sort, but the instances, in The case of White
