AYERS CATHARTIC Pills.

For all The Purposes Of q Ls1JtiUe Medicine
Perhaps no one medicine is so univer-
sally required by everybody as a cathartic,
nor was ever any before 50 universally
adopted into use, in every country and
among all classes, as this nj d but efficient
purgaLive PILL. The obvious reason is,
that il is a more reliable and far more
ehectual remedy than any other. Those
VINO have tried IL know that II cured
them; those who have not, know that IL
cures their neignb 1rs and friends, and all
know that what 10 does once II does al
Ways-that II never fails through any fault
or neglect OF its composition. We have
thousands CpOn thousands of certificates
Of their remarkable cures of the following
complaints, but such cures are known in
every neigh bOrhOod, aud we need not pub
lish them. Adapted TO All ages and cOndi-
tiOns. in all climates; containing neither
calOmel or any deleteriOus drug, they may
be taken with safety py anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them plea ant TO take, while,
being pu. ely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence
on the internal Viscerh TO purify the blood
ana stimulate AZ into healthy actlon-re-
n owe the distractions OF the stomach,
bowels, liver, and other organs OF the
body, restoring their irregular action 10
health, and by correcting. wherever they
exist. such arrangements as are the first
origin Of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrap.

For L1Uer Complaint and its various
symptoms, Bilious HeQdQche, Sick Head
ache, Jduldice or Green Sickness. Bilious
collie, and Bilious FeUerS, they should be
judIciOusly taken for each case, to correct

complaints disappear
For DroBSy and DTOpsicU1 Ea0e tiags they
should be AIKEN ia large and frequent
doses, TO produce the effect OF a drastic
purge.
For Suppression large dose should be
taken, as II produces the desired effect by
sym pathy.
As a DINNER PILL, take one or two
PILLS, TO promote digestion and relieve
the stomach.
An occasional dose stimu ates the stom-
aeh and bowels into healthy action, re
stores the appetite, and inyigOrates the
system. bence IL is often advantageous
where no ser OEs deranR ement exists. One

To the Soldiers and Sailors Of the
Country.


The following has just been issued
by the Soldiers and Sailors National
Executive Committee:
WASHINGTON, d. G., May 6, 1868.
COMRADES The National Execu-
tive Committee again calls your at
tention to the importance of having
every state fully represented at the
National Convention to be held at
Chicago on the 10Th inst, ia response
10 the call already issued for delIbera-
ton upon national questions aud the
selection of a standard bearer for the
coming Presidential campaign.
Treason defeated In the field must
not rule at the ballot box.
Opposed to you are arrayed the late
Confederate army Of the South, and
their more treacherOus allies, the
Copperheads of the North. They
conjointly seek to distract and divide
the friends of the Union.
But yesterday they were using the
bullet to overthrow the Gov rnmeBt;
to-day they are using the ballot to
control it.
They fought to keep the rebellious
States out Of the Union; they are
now voting to accomplish the same
results.
They would make loyalty a crime
and treason respectable.
They would dishOuOr the loyal liv-
ing, and make infamous the memory
of the patriot dead
They have organized midnight
. Klans,' and made assassination
trade.
They have revived the spirit Of the
aud renewed its atrocities
and crimes.
Those enemies of the country in
the North, who are ready to clasp the
hands Of UnTepentant rebels in the
South, have persistently opposed you
through the war,
They discouraged enlistments, leav-
ing you unsupported in the most try
ing exigencies. They libelled the ma
tional credit, that they might dimin-
ISL the sinews of war, and subject you
to privatiOns and hardships; as mobs
they fought against you in our streets,
diverting the troops needed in the
field to watch and restrain their plot
tings. They have closed the door of
public Office against the wounded sol
der, and opened it to scurvy politi-
clans.
Comrades, you are the victims of
these malign and treacherous infu-
ences; yours is the power to correct
them.
Let the same spirit that guided you
In war counsel you in peace.
We urge upon you unity and action.
The loyal strength Of the nation
must move and act with unbroken
columns, and newer victories will re-
ward the same cause for which you
have made so many sacrifices.
Answer the roll-call at Chicago, at
II o'clock noon, on Tuesday, May 49,
By order Of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' National Executive Committee.

We can tell another story of the
same kind. While Grant lay before
Vicksburg, a letter came to this office
from a respectable and generally
trustworthy person In a Western city,
an ardent Unionist, and a man OF in
huence, In which We are told, as pos
itively and incidentally true, that on a
certain occasion Grant and his staff
went from Springfield to Cairo in the
car of the President of the railroad;
that on the way the whole party, with
one or two exceptions, got uproari-
ously drunk, and that Grant was the
worst Of the company. This the wri-
ter said he knew to be true, and on
this and other evidence he desired the
Evening Post to demand the removal
of Grant.
Dy q biUBuldI cOLuCIutuC6B vi Us
borne, then President of the Illinois
Central Railroad, happened to come
into this Office while the letter we
speak Of was under discussion, and Of
course he was asked about the story
he told. He replied at once: 1t is
a malignant falsehood. Grant and
his staff did 60 down to Cairo in the
Presidents car; | took them down
myself, and selected that car because
it had convenience for working, sleep
ing, and eating on the way. We had
dinner 10 the car, at which wine was
served to such as desired it. l asked
Grant what he would drink. He an
swered, A cup of tea, and this L
made fer him myself. Nobody was
drunk on tina car, and to my certain
knowledge Grant tasted no liquid but
tea and water"
This was the exact truth Of the
matter. Yet we believe our CORE

This Is what Is wanted more.

Makes his hearts love UNDERSTOOD

Let thy love by actions speak;
Wipe the tear from sorrows cheek;
