In this Court. His Honor had two or

The first party called up was Barney

than he should have done. As a lesson
for him, he was fined five dollars and
costs, which unless he paid, (and We
don't believe he did, will send him 10

But his confession did not save him
from being fined one dollar and costs.
John Smith (Which one?) had also
been on a bender, and was asked to pay
over dollar and costs, which he did.

The White Pine COMPOUND.

compound was originated. a member Of my
family was afflicted with an irritation Of the
throat attended with n diSagreeable cough. l
lad for some months previous thought that
a preparation having for Its basis the inside
bark OF white pine might be 10 com pounded
as to be very useful IN diseases OF the throat
and lungs. To test the value of II in the case
OF the medicine that 1 had been planning,
and gave 1t in teRspOonful doses. The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
ed, the cough subsidized and speedy cure
was effected. Soon after this, sent some 70
suffering for some weeks from a bad cough,
OccaSiOned y sudden cold, and had raised
mucous streaked with blood. she soon found
ten ounces OF IL, and got well. ]. B. Clarke,
Esq, ed tor OF the Manchester Daily Mirror,
made trial of the same preparation in the
case of a severe cold and was cured Immedi-
ately. Hewas so highly pleased with the re-
suits, and so confident OF success attending It's
sales II placed before the public, that he
finally persuaded me to give It a name, and
send It abroad to benefit the suffering. In
November, 1855, 1 first advertised IL under
the name OF White Pine pound. In two
years from that time there had been whole
sailed in Manchester alone one hundred dol
lars worth, where IL took the lead of all the
cough remedies in the market, and 1t Sill
maintains that position. There Is good rea-
son for this; 1t Is very soothing and healing
pleasant withRl TO the taste, and Is exceed
ingly cheap.
White Pine Compound stands unrIvaled. II
was not originated for that purpose, but a
person in using 1t for a cough was not only
cured OF the cough, but was also cured Of a
kidney difficulty OF ten years standing. Since
that accidental discovery many thousands
have used II for the same complaint, and
have been completely cured"
The above was written by Dr.; Poland, In
1850. Since then, as in Manchester, the
White Compound has taken the lead OF all
Cough remedies, as well as preparation for
the cure OF Kidney difficulties. In every city,
town, village and hamlet throughout the
New England States.
The remedy is as safe and pleasant to take
