eHrDR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS
are constantly becoming more and more
popular. They are acknowledged to have
no rival in the cure of such diseases as
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Fever of all
kinds, Jaundice, Costivencss, Pain in the
Stomach, Side, Head. Back, and Bowels
Bilious Complaints, Loss OF Appetite, Sick
Headache, Scroflla Scald Head, Rheuma-
tism, Collie, Pleuldsy, Plmples and Sores on
the Skin, Palpitation of the Heart, Lowness
of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast,
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys, Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or Dysentery, Cold, etc.
Most of the aboye-named diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGE-
TABLE LIVER PrLLs In season, or when the
liver becomes first deranged, which carry
of, through the bowles and the secretions
of the skin and Kidneys, those poisonous
humors that clog the stomach, bowels, and
skin, and become accumulated in the blood.
There has been as great progress in sci
ence, and especially in that of medicine,
within the past few years, as there has in
the arts. TO such perfection have they
brought this science, that the medicinal
properties are condensed and concentrated
into the resins or salts of the plant, which
they extract from It, and leave the inert or
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties-by boiling for
a long time in water--is found, in most
cases, to render the medicinal qualities
wholly inert or even decomposing them,
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER Pills are
composed of chemical vegetable extracts,
mostly from plants growing in our own
country; some of these plants have direct
action on the liver, others upon the skin,
others on the kidneys, and others upon the
bowels and lungs II is by peculiar
chemical combination of all these extracts
that these Pins are made, possessing the
most extraordinary efficacy for curing the
nboYe- nnmrd disnAsns.

MAGNIFICENT DoNATtoN.--One of the mo-
blcSt and most judicious acts of libcrality
and enterprise which has occurred In the
present era, is the loan by Adams Express
Company Of $2,0OOOOO of its accumulated
capital to several of the Southern rail-
roads, TO enable them to resume operations.
The New Orleans PicdyUne says this com
pany, by such donations, nttests its great
wisdom, and establishes new claims TO the
support and patronage of the people of the
South. A like liberality upon the part Of
otller large capitalists who are interested in
our prosperity, would soon restore, nay,
give new and greater impulse to our
progress and prosperity, and make the
South what we believe il Is destined in not
many years 10 become, the most flourish
ing portion of.this continent.
