A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,
For all the purposes of Laxative Medicine.
Perhaps no one Medicine is so universally
quired by everybody a cathartic, nor ever
any before universally adopted into use, in eY
cry country and among all classes this mild
but efficient purgatiye Pill The obvious reason
is, that it is reliable and far effeetua
remedy than any other. Those who have tried it,
know that ii cured them; those who have not &,
know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does it does always
that it never fails through any fault neglect
Of its composition We have thousands upon thou
sands of certificates of their remarkable cures Of
the following plants, but such cures known
in every neighborhood and we need not publish
them. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all
climates; containing neither calOmel or any dele
terious drug, they may be taken with safety by
anybody Their sugar coating preserves them eY-
er fresh and makes them pleasant TO take, while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera 70 purify the blood and stimulate
1t into healthy acton-remove the distractions of
the stomach bowels, liver and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, sucn
arrangements as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints which these
Pills rapidly cure -
g
LASGUoR and Loss of Appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symptoms,
BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUSDICE
or Green SICKNESS, Bilious Collie and Bilious Fe-
vers, they should be judiciously taken for each
case to correct the diseased action or remove the
distractions which cause it.
For DYsENTERY or DIARRHHA, but mild
dose is generally required.
For RnBUsfATIssf GoUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATIoN
OF THE HEART, PAIs IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LOIys, they should be continuously taken, as re-
quired, to change the diseased action Of the sys-
TEN. With such change those complaints disap-
pear
For DRoPsY and DROPsIcAL SwELLINGs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the effect Of drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As DINNER PILL, take one or two pills to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad-
yantage0us where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably WELL often finds that dose
Of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly better
from their cleansing and renoyating effect the
digestive apparatus

QUESTION:
Resignation OF Major Lauder
dale.

At the meeting of the City Council on
Monday evening last, Maj. Lauderlale
in rendering his resignation made the
following remarks
GENTLEMEN OF TUE CRY Council:
Circumstances equally painful and unex
pected to me, compel the tender of my
resignation as a member of this Council.
BY your late action in repudiating a con
tract made By committee, of which j
was member, you have treated me with
such unusual and grave discourtesy. that
| cannot consistently with my sense Of self
respect, aud personal dignity, consent
longer to remain member of your BODY.
However, ] would willingly surrender
all personal considerations Ser the pub
lie good, in order still to guard the in
terests of the people who sent me here
were there the least hope OF my being OF
any further service, either in checking
absurd legislation, or in promoting a
sound aud sensible policy in the admin
istration of city affairs. But | observe
of late, that the surest way to defeat any
measure before this Council, however
just or necessary, is for me to become its
jealous advocate.
No doubt gentlemen who thus act are
convinced that am radically wronS in
all my views of public policy, and there
fore conclude that in opposing me they
must be in the right. l have sought and
listened in vain for deeper logic, or a
better reason. Under such circumstan-
ces, so far from being of service to the
city, as the point and object of this jeal-
Gus and persistent opposition; | feel that
l am doing the public an injury by re-
naming in office.
For nearly four years, associated with
Il number of our leading citizens, have
served this city faithfully, and to the
best of my ability l think all of them
will bear me witness that / have been
uniformly courteous, consideate and
liberal towards my fellow members in
this Hall. | have never attempted to
assume undue authority, or claimed SUI
perior influence. To all parties having
practical information on the subjects be-
fore US, have listened and deferred
with attention and respect. If, at any
time in the beat Of debate, l have wound
ed the feelings or the pride of brother
member, | have never refused an ample
and instant apology. y scrupulous and
respectful courtesy should always prevail
among the members of any legislative
body. .,ghis l have striven to maintain,
and if the have failed it is the fault OF
