4 SAD ACcIDENT-Once in a while,
says the New York Evening Mail, we get
glimpses of the tragedies which distress
those who are contributing to our amuse-
ment on the stage One of these cases
occurred at Providence recently. When
Maggie Mitchel's company was ready to
go on the stage, Mr. Sutton, who was to
play the part of The old man Mortimer, y
received telegram that his mother was
dead. The play went on, and soon the
cheeks of Miss Mitchell and Mr. Sutton
were bathed in genuine tears, but the au-
dience little knew the reality of the grief.
Miss Mitchell's mother died only short
time since.

that it fails through any fault neglected.
its composition We have thousands upon thoa-
sands of certificates of their remarkable of the
following complaints, but such cures are known i'll
every neighborhOod, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates;
containing neither caomel 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 vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action-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, such derangc
ments 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:-
For dyspepsia or Indigestion, ListIess-
ness, LanguOr and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stoai-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.

For Rheumatisni, esOuf. G. travel. Fs.lDi-

taken as required, to change the diseased action Of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOPsy and DrOpsicaI SweIIings they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to pro-
duce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression large dose should be taken
as 1t produces the desired effect by sympathy.
AS Dinner PHI. take one or two Pulls to pro-

An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels INTO healthy action, restores the appetite
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often adj

One who feels tolerably WELL often finds that dose
of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better from
