A FAMILY BLEssiSG.-We believe it to be
. fact settled beyond dispute, not only
among the medical fraternity. but among
mothers, nurses, and the people generally,
that of all the medicines that have been COM
pounded in the present century, and imme-
diately applicable to the ills which children
are heir to, there is nothing that compares
with Mrs. WINsLow's SOOTHING SYRUP. It
is also perfectly safe to say that during the
past 80 years. this simple medicine alone,
has saved more life than all other medicines
combined. So generally have its virtues
become known and so thoroughly apprecia.
ted that no household which is cheered by
the presence of children can afford, for q
day, to be without it. Truly it may be said
that the lady who from long experience in
nursing the sick and rearing tender off
spring, succeeded in handing down such a
priceless boon to posterity, has shown her
self as worthy Of the kind regard and death
less memory of the people, as has the
greatest general or the greatest statesman
of the age. In assuaging the pains of the
youth Of the land, and correcting and re-
storing the proper functions Of the infantile
portion Of community, this is really the only
standard medicine Of the day. Ifany there
be who have not already tested its virtues
in their families, we urge them as friend
and one who has witnessed the effects of its
magic power, to do 50 without delay. II
can be found in every drug store in the land
and you have only to try it once to become
thoroughly convinced Of its efficacy. W.
particularly request our readers to peruse
carefully the advertisement Of this popula,
remedy in another column. There is nc
exaggeration about it-not word, and
none but they who are stubbornly blind tt
the highest interests of their offspring viii
fail to avail themself Of the facts there pre-
sented. Surely no can be SO blind as not t.

RED JACKET BIrrERs. Beyond question
these bitters are not only among the best
but are in fact the very best bitters that hav
ever been offered to the public. Since thei
advent many have attempted to rival then
with vile concoctions Of one kind and ano
ther, but none have yet been presented wha
can be said to fairly compete the true, gen
uine article. They are as current through
out the west as ten dollar gold piece, an
none have tried them that do not give then
the preference over Ill others. The reasol
why is their invigorating efeet-their per
feet adoption to all climates. In the Yves
whore bilious and miasmatic diseases pre-
vail, these Bitters ever prove most efacia
cious preventative. No man need be trou
bled with fever and ague if he will but adop
this medicine upon arriving to this part q
the county, neither will he suffer from bill
lious attacks. Keep bottle of it in th
house, and take . wine glass Of it every day
and it will most effectually bar out all mia,
matte diseases, keep the system in perfsc
order, sustain the appetite, and pave th
way to health and happiness. Never thin
