ITO the People Of the Valley
OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILRoADx
Staunton, April 25th, 1866.


Staunton, April 25th, 1866.
We wish at once to push forward the Line OF
Railroad which is to cofnect the Potomac with
the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To do this,
we feed to have stock taken in the Valley to the
extent of
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
This we propose to have done on the following
terms; Two per cent. Of the amount subscribed,
to be paid in 50 soon as called fors thirteen pcr
cent. additional, to be paid within the next three
years; the remaining eighty-fve per cent. to be
paid within the next ten years.
If this amount of Stock be promptly taken ON
these easy terms we can effect negotiations which
will enable us to have its remainder taken abroad
and which will ehable us at the same time to raise
tie money for the Stock taken at home upon the
Bonds of the company payable in ten years.
1t is unnecessary to say anything in regard to
the vital Importance of this great work. Every
property holder within reach of the Road appre-
cates it
It may be proper to state, however, that cir
cumstances are more favorable now to the con-
struction of this work than ever before or proba-
bly, than they will be hereafter. We have already
secured
COMPETENT CORPS OF ENGINEERS
to locate the Road from Harrsonburg to Salem.
They will commence operations early in May
Let our people aid, in earliest, and we can prom
Use them the speedy completion Of an improve
ment which will do more than any other in con-
temptation for the advancement Of our interests
The commissioners in each county will open books
of subscription at once, and are earnestly desired
to have the stock subscribed promptly.

may lift of the Valley Railroad.

H,O TIE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
\ If YOU need one of tie best remedies ever Of
fered to the people of this State for arrangements
of the Liver, suclr Congestion of the Liver, Tor
por of the Liver, Deficient Secretion of Bile, and
the long list of diseases resulting from such de-
rangemerts rs Jaundice, Bilious Collie, Loss of
petite Dyspepsia, Fluctuations of food, Flatulen-
cy. painful digestion, or pain in the stomach or
sides, Fertgo Headache, sick Headache, Neu-
ralgia, Rheumatism, Impufity of the blood, and
all conditions ordinarily called Bilious, Derange-
mehts of the Digestive Organs; all forms of Con-
stipaton and for all the purposes of q Family
Pill, use cdr. T. Renholds celebrated Virginia
Hcpatic and Purgative Pill
This pill is not the invention of qnack or All
impostor designed to impose upon public credu-
lily, but was compounded by Dr. T. Rennolds,
Of Staunton, Va, a regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine III this section whu after
years of careful Study, SO arranged the proper
lions of the ingredients as to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended. He
had 70 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.
HIS pm mas SCOOu the TEST PIE eA
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people Of this section for many years. as is
substantiated 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 as cheap as any others.
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
from "a to 80 pills, the average dose being from
3 to G. Our boxes contain II, the dose being on
ly one for ordinary purposes, and hence thequan-
tity is just great in smaller bulk without ref
erence to the certainty and efficiency of the
dy and obviating the serious objection to taking
SO many for one dose.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
conscienciously believe, and if we cannot succeed
in Introducing it to the people by stating the
TRUTH we will not degrade ourselves or try to i'm
pose upon others by going beyond it.

Take Ayers Pills, and cleanse out the disordcred
humors-purify the blood, and let the fluids move
on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate
the functions of the body into vigorous activity,
purify the system from the distinctions which
make disease. A cold settles somewhere IN the
BODY, and deranges its natural functions, These,
if not relieved. react upon themselves and the
surrounding organs, producing general aggraya-
tion suffering and arrangement While in this
condition, take Ayers Pills, and see how directly
they restore the natural action of the system, and
with itthc buoy ent feeling ofhealth again. WHAT'S
true and so apparent In this trivial and common
complaint is also true in many ofthe deep seated
and dangerous discmpers. The same purgativc
effect cxpels them. Caused by similar obstruc-
tons and arrangements of the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly and many of them
surely cured by the same means. None who know
the virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ
them when suffering from the disorders they cure,
such as Headach, Foul Stomach. Dysentery, Bill

the Liver, Costivencss, Constipation, Heartburn,
Rheumatism. Dropsy Worms and Suppression,
when taken in large doses.
They are Sugar Coated, SO that the most sensl

best purgative medicine yet discovered.
