BLOOMING YOUNG GIRLS,

Middle aged persons those at the critical period,
and the aged grandmother, are all cured by the
use of our English Female Btters now prescribed
and used by physicians all over the country.
If you are troubled with Falling Of the Womb,
attended with a sense of weight and bearing
down pain in the back and side, and other atten-
dant evils, English Female Bitters will give en-
tire relief.
Those at the "turn of life" mothers after
confinement, and all others (fnale or female) who
are convalescents from any protracted or debili-
tating complaint, who gain strength slowly, and
whose digestion is slow and imperfect, will find
these Bitters the very thing their system de-
mands. 1t gives powerful appetite, aids and
assists digestion, arouses the liver, strengthens
mentally and physically, and fills the whole sys-
TEN with pure crimson blood coursing through
its channels.

FEM ALE COMPLAINT,

That claims its victims throughout the length and
breadth of our land.
Many females in some way at each monthly
period; some girls are in great peril at the com
mencement of menstruation, while older ones
dread its decline at the "turn of life" Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, OF too little,
or may be attended with pain; may be irregular
or entirely checked, or changed in appearance,
attended with other distressing symptoms. Leu
corrhoea or the g Whites, frequently drains the
system, or liberation of the womb may create
pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly com
mon complaint, giving much trouble and distress,
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
Womb, and other serious and fatal complaints fol-
low the female sex throughout life Lives there

fair sex of the above troubles Not many. Is
there no combination of remedial agents that
will come to her rescue? We answer, Yes.

GROG-SHOP BITTERS


Empty Bitter Bottles, of various styles, can be
found around almost every dwelling and cabin
throughout the land. Their taste is pleasant,
and are advertised to cure almost every disease,
while the manufacturers know they possess no
medicinal properties whatever. They are so
many DISCUSSES for exceedingly common beverages
which do not, nor cannot possibly cure any one.-
Beware of these pleasant bitters in quart bot
ties, they contain sting for your vitals, and he
who buys them carries "toper's' grog into his
house. One man who knows nothing about med
icne, says his big bottles of common stuff will
cure chills and fever, rheumatism and consump-
ton another, whose bottle is very fancy, cures
all impurities of the blood, makes old men young,
casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and
numerous other miracles; while yet another,
who presumes every q drunkard, proposes
to cure collie, ingrowing nails, yellow fever heart

WAYNEsBoRo, Va, August ~, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR The time is rapidly approaching
when we will be called upon to select persons to
fill the various county Offices. Among these is
the Office of County Treasury-one that, above
all others, is the most responsible and important,
and in which every tax payer is interested. To
select person to fill this position, we should
only select one that we know to possess all the
requisites of good aceountant-quick and ac-
cemmodating to discharge the duties satisfacto
rily. Every aspirant for the position will not
have these necessary and indispensable qualifca-
tons Therefore to select one who has already
been tried in similar position and not found
wanting-one with whom nearly every person in
this county is acquainted-will be the man on
whom the good sense of the people of the county
should direct their choice, and that man is, W.
H. II. LYNN Esq of Stanton, Va.
His practical and fine business turn gave the
suggestions for many OF the forms upon which
the taxes of the ConfederacJ we're collected. He
pos esses, in an eminent degree all the requisites
for popular and efficient officer. We, in whose
midst he was raised and who know him best
most earnestly recommend him to our fellow CT j.
zens of the entire county, as a man in every wy
qualified to faithful discharge of the duties Of
County Treasurer, and in every respect worthy of
your support ard individual confidence.
