her life to nursing the sick, and has had more ex-
perence in the of obstinate Diseases old Sores
and Ulcers, and has also been consulted in more
cases of as Burns. Scalds and Bruises

the most able physicians in the States, as well as
with nurses and Indian DOCTORS From time TO
time she has compounded remedies for the use in
certain diseases in her own practice. Among other
compounds she has for many years made Salve
which soon obtained extensive Sale, and is
LOW in great demand abroad, as well as in pri-
vate families and among the hundreds of men engag-
ed at Rockand and vicinity in the hazardous bust
ness of quarrying rock and burning lime, and also
among the seamen along the coast OF Maine. Sopop-

old mustard boxes, without labels the help of ad
yertisements, Miss Sawyer received orders for it
from nearly or quite every State in the Union The
demand finally became so extensive that she was I'M
able to meet it, and she made an arrangement with
l.. M. ROBBINS, druggist of Rockland to take
charge of the business and supply the trade. The
agent is so well satisfied with the merits OF the Med
cine that he guarantees it to all diseases for
which it is recommended, and any one who gives it
trial according to directions and is not satisfied is
invited to return the box with half the contents and
the money will be refunded Full directions with
each box.

Creek, came to the city In search of a
horse that Enwalt had borrowed the day
previous, to ride here for a bundle OF
clothes LEFT at a public house on Market

got here on Friday with the borrowed
horse he imbibed too freely, and at

saddle and bride, and they were deliy,
