MOFFAT,s LIFE PILLS AND PHG
NIX BITTERS

were first used in private practice in 1925. They
were introduced to the public in $685. since which
time their reputation has extended until they have
a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purify
ing Medicines. There is hardly family among
civilized nations who have not personal evidence of
their beneficial effects. Their great success is ow
ing to their uniform reliability in cases of Consti-
patton Bilious and Stomachic diseases, whether of
long or short duration. They are entirely vegeta-
BILE in their composition and harmless to the gent
lest infant. One Ingredient opens the pores of the
skim another is diuretic, and stimulates proper
action of the kidneys; third is emolient, loosen
ing phlegm and humor from the lungs; other prop
critics warming and cathartie, and cleanse the
stomach and bowels from unhealthy seeretions.
Their combined effect is, to regulate the impaired
functions of the system, and to produce health 1t
is not asserted Moffats Pills are a ct1e-ad--that
they will cure all complaints--but under ordinary
circumstances they may be relied upon to cure
Nervous and sick Headache, Costiveness, Dyspep-
STA, Indi digestion, Jaundice, Liver and Bilious COM
plants, Colds, Scuryy, General Weakness, DC.
They are expressly made for these diseases. Mil
lions upon millions of cures can be cited. In no
single instance has complaint ever come to our
knowledge, where they have not operated as re-
commended.
The printed circular around each box fully ex-
plains the symptoms and effects of each disease,
specifies treatment, furnishes evidence, dc.

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the uieerat-
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 matchiess salve.
DIR. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the dsordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggieps Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiels Salve is infalhble.

has taken the Arson bath rooms and bar
ber's shop on Washington street, and opens
for public patronage tomorrow morning.
He intends to keep the best BARRIERS saloon
and the neatest bath house ever kept in this
city. He seems to "know his business

encouraged by a liberal patronage. His in

for want of support. 1t is a public benefit
to have it well supported.

The Calamity of Tortola.


The telegram in the Richmond papers
Saturday reported the destruction Of l 1000
lives on the island Of "Tortola by a
great storm which submerged a part Of it.
The New York papers have it that the
loss Of life reached the enormous amount
of ten thousand IF this be correct, then
it is the greatest loss Of life by visitation
of the kind that has occurred in our
day. Tortola is one Of the virgin islands
in the West Indies belonging to Great
Britain, lat. Is degrees 81 minutes north,
Ga degrees, IS minutes As seconds west,
between St. John and Virgin Gorda. 1t
is about twelve miles by three or four in
dimensions-its population in 1888, 1871 !;
of whom 5,l92 were blacks. 1t consists Of
range of hills rising in some places to the
height Of 1920 feet, and encircling spa
cious harbor or basin. There is but one
valley of any consequence on the island.
The town of Tortola is on the west side of
the harbor, at the foot Of the hills, which
rise so close behind it that many Of the
houses are built within sea-mark. In 1887
the exports Of cotton, sugar, and rum
amounted to 924,729.
The population may have reached by
this time ten thousand, but not much, if
at all, over that sum. We hardly sup
pose it possible that the whole could have
been engulphed by the late dreadful
flood, as the island is traversed by such an
elevated range Of hills, to which the peo-
pie could retreat for safety. One thou
sand souls are quite enough to be swal-
lowed up at time and make calamity
of fearful magnitude. The storm appears
to have been the most violent and deStruc
tive which has occurred within the recol-
lection Of any one. On very many islands
large numbers of people persisted, and the
loss of property is unexamplcd in the
West Indies, whose islands have been so
the victims of calamity from
storms and commissions peculiar to their
locality.
