cafes OF their remarkable cures OF the following
complaints, but such cures are known IN every
ncighbDrllOod, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions IN all climates;
containing neither 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
vegetable no harm CON arise from their use IN any
quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera TO purify the blood and stimulate
II into healthy actOn--remore the obstructlons OF
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs OF
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist. such
arrangements as are the first origin OF disease.
Minute directions are given III the wrapper on
the box for the following complaints, which these
PILLS rapidly cure:
For DYSrErsIA or INDIGESTION, L1sTLEsSEEss
LANGUoK and Loss OF APPETITE, they should be
taken moderately 10 stimulate the stomach and

For DYsENTERY or D1ARRHEA, but one mild

FOR RHEUMATISM, GOCT, GEAEEI, fALPITATION

his time. He did not feel that a soldier
could speak fttingiy of Gen. Lee. Tho
soldiers that great man led were not from
the dens and purlei1s of cities. They
were brethren from our Sunny Southland.
From the prairies of Texas;from the turbid
Mississippi; from the sweet savannahs to
the Western shore, the best and truest men
of the South followed his standard, and thew
to-day joined In moarnful homage over the
bier Of their fallen chieftain.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following:
We, the former comrades in arms Of
Robert E. Lee, have met on this occasion
formally to acknowledge our veneratiol
for the character Of the great soldier, nov
dead, whose fame fills the world, and
whose memory is honored by every civil
lied government. Il is for those who are
soldiers by profession to estimate his mills
tary fame. We we're citizen soldiers; as
such we testified to our confidence in Gen.
Lee elsewhere and unsvsilingly. We real.
ize now, when no longer dazzled by sue
cess IN the field, that adversely made Us
acquainted with his true greatness. When
no longer successful it was ike the unvail-
ing of q perfect statue, which the kindly
hand of death has now set his seal upon
and made indestructible forever. His
grand example in peace and war is the
rich inheritance he has left Us. Be it ours
to profit by it. In this spirit, therefore
be it
Resolved, That we will attend the memo
nal sermon soon to be preached in this
city, and as the present is an occasion Of
SORROW beyond expression, be it
Resolved, That this meeting do now adj
journ in silence.
On the adoption of the resolutions and
in accordance with them, the meeting ST.
