ton: We have thousands upon thousands of
certificates of their remarkable cures of the
following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them. Ad dipted to all ages and
calomel or any deleterious drug, they may be
taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar
coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely
vegeta bic no harm can arise from their use in
any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal Vlscera to purify the blood and
stimulate it into healthy action-remove the
other organs of the body, restoring their ire
gular action to health, and by correcting.
wherever they exist, such derangements as are
the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper
OF the box, for the following complaints,
which these PILLS rapidly cure
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listlessness,
LanJuor and Loss Of appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach
and restore it's healthy tone and action.
For Ltuer Complaint and it's various symp-
toms. Bilious Headache, Sick Headache. jaun-
dice or Green Sickness, Bilious Collie and BIZ
!tous FeUers, they should be iudiciously taken
for each case, to correct the diseased action
or remove the distractions which cause it..
For Dysente,,ry or Dtdrrhga, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Rheumdttsn,, Gout, Grarel, Palpuation
| Of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back and Loins,
they should be continuously taken, as re.
CURED, t. change the diseased action of the
system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical S,eeuings, they
should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect Of drastic purge.
For Suppression large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by
sympathy.
AS q Dinne,. Pin, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stoma ch
and bowels into healthy action, restores the
appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence
it is often advantageous where no serious de-
rangement exists. One who feels tolerably
we'll, often finds that dose of these Pills
makes him feel decidedly better. from their
cleansing andrenovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

3 HORRIBLE CHICAGO

I think remarked in my last letter
\ that 1 once met Chicago lawyer who
warmly advocated marriage, and who ex-
planned to me his reason for so doing.
For such man to do such thing, was,
to say the least, surprising. I listened
with breathless interest while he gave
me brief history of his experience
during the first ten years of his residence
in that celebrated city.
Said he: 81 first came to Chicago fif-
teen years ago. Then was young and
innocent, which it is hardly necessary
for me to say that I am not at present.
had q friend living here whom 1 had
known while he resided in New York,
man in O civilized community. AS he
had written to me to visit himself and
his wife, when I came to Chicago, re-
membered the invitation when I did visit
that city, and Immediately on my arri-
val, proceeded to his house. He was not
at home just at the moment, and so I
asked to see his wife, whom had known
only year before in New York. In an
swer to my inquiry for Mrs. DeVorse, o
pretty, blaek-eyed girl came into the
drawing-room and received me quite
warmly.
"Well, we chatted very pleasantly to-
gether until my friend came in, and
really felt myself beginning to expert
ence very affectionate impulse towards
her, supposing, of course, that she was
his niece, or cousin, or uncle, or some
!, thing of that sort. But in the course of
the evening asked him whether his
wife was at home, and if 80, when he
proposed to let me see her?
.''To my astonishment, he replied,

"Of course I blushed and felt horribly
uncomfortable, and said that was not
aware that he had lost poor Emily.
"tOh, said he, Emily is very we'll, and
has married q partner Of mine. We were
divorced, you know, about six months
ago, and married my present wife only
last week.
'.Well! I didn't feel quite 80 affection
ate toward her after that, for I had been
warmly attached to Emily; but we said
no more about the matter, and went
away, vowing never to get myself into
such q scrape again, by asking after any
body's wife. I did not see my friends

until I one day met her in the house of o

she replied, smilingly.
What do you mean? said I, getting
rather nervous.
