OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD,
Staunton, April 25th, 1866.
We wish at once to push forward the Line of
Railroad which is to connect the Potomac with
the Virginia and Tennessee Road. TO do this,
we need 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 so soon as called for; thirteen per
cent. additional, to be paid within the next three
years; the remaining eighty-five 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 enable at the same time, to raise
the 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-
ciates 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 a
COMPETENT CORPS OF ENGINEERS
to locate the Road from Harrisonburg to Salem
They will commence operations early in May
Let our people aid, IN earnest, 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.

the Gap. Arriving at the selected spot,
which was beautifully shaded and well wat

sports of the day commenced, in which all
participated, and none with more zest than
their worthy pastor. At l o'clock they par
took of plentiful repast, to which ample JUS
tlce was done by appetites keenly sharpened
by the exercises of the morning. After dim

Hepatic and Purgative Pill
This pill is not the invention of a quack or an
impostor. designed to impose upon publlc creuu-
litv, but was compounded by DR.. L. Rennolds,
of Staunton Va. regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who, after
wears of careful study, so arranged the proper
lions of the ingredients as to render 1T applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended. lie
had no idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practlced, 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 ofample experience,
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years, as is
substantated 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 q to 80 pills, the average dose being from
3 to 6. Our boxes contain II, the dose being on
ly for ordinary purposes, and hence thequan-
tity is just great in a smaller bulk without ref
erence to the certainty and efficiency of the rem
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.

n the prelude of serious illness. Some
fit of sickness is creeping upon you, and should
be averted by timely use of the right remedy
Take Ayers Pills, and cleanse out the dsordered
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 distractions 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 aggrava-
ton, suffering and arrangement. While in this
condition, take Ayers Pills, and see how directly
they restore the natural action of the SYSTEM and
with it the buoycnt feeling ofhealtf again. WHAT'S
true and so apparent in this trivial and common
complaint is also true in many ofthe deep seated
and dangerous distempers. The same purgatiye
effect expcls 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
ious Complaints, Indigestion, arrangements Of
the Liver, Costivcness, Constipation, Heartburn,
Rheumatism. Dropsy, Worms and Suppression,
when taken in large doses.
They gre Sugar Coated, SO that the most sensi
tive can take them easily, and they are surely the
best purgative medicine yet discovered.
