BRANDRETH's PILLS.
TOTHE PUBLIC.


Brandreth's Pills have been known and
used by your grandfathers and graudmoth-
ers. They are always safe. and sure to do
you good. They are purely vegetable, and
diminish the death principle; some think
they increase the principle OF life. But in
taking out bad humors from the blood, they
do make the body lighter, and thus seem to
add energy. Many families have used them
for upwards of forty years.
They are the best medicine for Colds, for
all Bilious Affections, for Fullness about the
Head or Heart, and in all Cutaneous and
Contagious Diseases they are unrivaned. In
all cases where purgative is indicated, no
medicine yet known can be compored to
them. Two hundred physicians have testi-
fed that Brandreth's Pills are superior to
all other rurRatIves whatever. Sold by all
Druggists. myls-1md&W

OF financial men not only to write to
the Secretary OF the Treasury, but to
go on to Washington and belabor
him in person to reconsider his deci-

OF 1862. Mr.. Boutwell, is determined to
adhere to his policy, and to sell gold

course, no matter whether the premium

IdTERARY.-The addresses deliv.
cred before the Press Association on
Tuesday evening last, were very eio-
quent and mastery productions.
The Grafton "The Pen is Mightier
than the Sword by Capt. w. Il.
SPEARS, of the YickSburg Herald,
was very able effort, and its beau
tifulIv elaborate style of diction be
spoke the scholarly mind from which
it sprang. The essay" The True
Mission of the Press by Major
KINLooH FALcoNER, was repIete
with sterling truths, and sparkling
gems of eloquenee. In short, these
gentlemen surpassed The expecta-
tions of their most sanguine friends
they each struck hidden chords in
the hearts of the auditory that vibra-
ted III response to their mastery
touch-both won " golden opinions
and both left ts with flashing
honors thick upon them.
We shall soon regalc our readers
with the publication of these al
dresses.
