A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DIR. Msggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians 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
bis 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 salye
DR. Maggiel's Pills and Sslve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches OF drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggiePs Pills rectihes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
clesnses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
marvellous
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Sealds, Chibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
OF the skin. Msggiel's Salve is infallible.

In accepting Agents. great care has been
exercised to appoint those who, by long

reputation for honesty, responsibility, and
probity-men in whose word the public
have learned to place confidence. These
Agents have agreed to keep o full assort-

want, either as to writing OF price, and get
q full equivalent for the money paid.
No agent is appointed to travel from
place to place, or canvass the country,
SO that all who want a Morton Gold Pen
must get it from the Local Agent or from
