The Great Need supplied !-Pills have

The Great Need Supplied pills have been
swallowed in millions. Salves have been rubbed

specifics are putting an end to this wholesale
system of medication. One Of his famous pills
is dose. 4 box of his healing salve is of more
value. as remedy for ulcerous and eruptive
diseases, than ships cargo Of he ointments
advertised to cure everything, but are ,all, in
fact, either useless or deleterious.
DR.. MAGGEIL' s motto Is CONCENTRATION. He
has placed in the smallest compass the active
principle of the most potent vegetable specifics.
There is no mineral in his Pils-they do not
gripe-they do not enleeble. They create a
vigorous appetite,and Observation-Disclosures

the head and steady the nerves.
No form of screfulous disease can resist the
disenfectent operation of the Salve. Tumor
Assesses, Salt Rheun. Boils, Pimples, Pus-
tules etc. are thoroughly eradicated by this
unrivalod medicine. In fact. MAGGIEL's Bill

UNITED STATES CoURT. -The court has
rendered decisions upon demurrers in
the cases Of Leake VS.. Smith and Hurst
and Early VS.. Beecher. These causes,
involving the question of the validity of
title to properly sold for United States
direct taxes under the act of June 7th,
1862, were argued at the March term,
1866. The court overruled the demur-
rers in both causes, as to the question of
the jurisdiction of the court, giving no
decision as to other points. Leave was
given the defendants to answer at the
July rules, Colonel McRse, counsel for
defendants, stating that the case of Mem.
phis Cotton Mills VS.. Smith & Hurst
would come up on bill and answer, and
be tried at the December term of the Su-
preme Court, which would virtually de-
eide all questions involved in these and
other like causes. A motion to dismiss,
in the class of cases knswn as stamp
cases, was argued by number of attor-
neys for parties defendant, and by the
District Attorney and Colonel McRae,
special counsel for the Government, on
the part of the United States. The court
took the matter under advisement.
