there complained of empty houses, and it
now adds the following dolorous lament over
Its extra number of business men, viz:
There are sixteen dry goods houses in this
city; six are as many as can live. There are ten
or twelve groceries; three can supply the city,
and white half of the time. There are six drug
stores two wouldn't live any too well. There
a a FOUR bookstores; two are plenty. There

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The qnantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
Dr.. MaggiePs Pills and SalFe have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiefs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous. .--.-.---.-..-...--.r. .-...-- ---
In fact MaggiePs Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infalible.
Carbohydrates none without name Of j.
