rily called Bilious. arrangements Of the Diges-
tive Organs; all forms OF Constipation and for all
the purposes ola Family Pill, use ''Dr. Z. Rem
nolds' celebrated Virginia Hepatic and Purgative
Pill"
This pill is not the invention of quack or an
lmpostor, designed to impose upon public credu-
lity but was compounded by DR.. T. Kennolds
Of Staunton, Va, regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who, after
years of careful study, so arranged the proper
tons of the ingredients as to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had no idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but.
after his DEATH which occurred in january, 1864
having left the formula for compromising them to
his brother, VIM. RennoldS, of Louisa county,
Va, the latter, for reasons stated in pamphlet
around box containing them, has undertaken to
have them manufactured for the people of the
whole State.
This pill has stood the test of ample experience
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years as is
substantlated by certificates contained in PAM
phlet around box, as well as other evidences of
appreciation from many of our most distinguished
and reliable citizens
The price of this pill is fifty cents per box
Though this is apparently higher than the price
charged for those ordinarily sold to the public,
yet it must be remembered that the dose is less
than one half of the latter, and consequently is
just cheap rs any others.
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
from q to 30 pills, the average dose being from 3
to 6. Our boxes contain II the dose being only
one for ordinary purposes, and hence the quantity
is just great in smaller bulk without reference
to the certainty and efficiency Of the remedy and
obviating the serious objection to taking SO many
for one dose.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
conscenciously believe, and if we cannot succeed
in introducing it to the people by stating the TRUTH
will not degrade ourselves try to impose
upon others by going beyond it.

The Causes of Cholera.

As the Cholera is now upon our shores and
may soon extend over considerable portion of
our country, our people are interested in every
thing pertaining to that destructive scourge.
Rev. Cyrus Hamlin, who has been for many
years resident of Constantinople, as a mission
ary the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions, has recently published long
letter upon the subject. Ofthe causes ofattacE,
he says:
II have personally investigated at least a
hundred cases. and not less than three-fourths
could be traced directly to improper diet or to
intoxicating drinks, or to both united. Of the
remainder, suppressed perspiration would com
prise large number A strong, healthy, tenn
perate, laboring man had severe attack of
cholera. The occasion was this: after some
hours Of hard labor and very profuse perspira-
ton, he had lain down to take his customary
nap right against an open window, through
which a very refreshing breeze was blowing
Another cause is drinking largely of cold water
when hot and thirsty. Great fatigue, great anx-
iety, fright, fear, all figure among melting
causes If one can avoid all these he is as safe
from the cholera as from being swept away by
a comet.
