A New and Grand Epoch in Medicine.
MR.. MAGGIEL is the founder of a new Medi-
cal Systeml The quantitarians, whose vast
internal doses enfeeble the stomach and par
alyze the bowels, must give precedence to the
man who restores health and appetite, with
from one to two Of his extraor' 'inary Pills, and
cures the most virulent sores with box or so
of his wonderful and all-healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast super
seding all the stereotyped nostrums of the day.
Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills and
Salve, have opened the eyes Of the public to the
inefticiency of the called remedies of others,
and upon which people have so long blindly
depenued. Maggieps Pills are not of the class
that are swallowed by the dozen, and of which
every box full taken CT Gates an absolute neces-
sity for another One or two of Maggieps
Pills sufices to place the bowels in perfect or
der, tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyantl There is
no gripping, and no reaction in the form of con-
stipation. If the liver is affected, its functions
are restored; aud If the nervous system is lee
BILE, tits invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants Of
delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptiye dis
eases are literally extinguished by the disen-
fectant power of Maggicl's Salve. In fact, it is
here announced that MdggiePs Bilious, Dys-
pepttc and Didrrhea Pills cure where all
others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains, Cuts and all abrasions Of the skin Nag
gfeps Sdlue is infallible. Sold by J. MAG

always comply with his orders. 81 thank
you with all my heart for your kind senti-
ments, but expect that you comply with your
orders"
Macmillan gave Miramon the center as his
post.
Mejia's wife ran distractedly through the
streets, just before the execution, carrying q
