fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not know that it cures theirneighbors and friends;
and all know that what it does once 1t does al
ways-that it never fails through any fault or neg
giect oil Its composition We have thousands upon
thousands ofcertiicates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them. Adapted TO all ages and conditions
in all climates containing neither calOmel norany
deleterlous 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 viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
of the stomach bowels, liver, and other organs Of
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de-
rangements as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pils rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless.
ness, LanguOr and Loss Of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various syml-
ache, Jaunslice or Green Sickness, Bill
iOus Collie and Bilious Eeyers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct tho
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dyae~sery or -Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally reqnired-
Pifati0n of the Heart, Pain In the
Side, Back and LOins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOpsy and DroPsical Swellings
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy-
As Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
DrOmOte nd roll fns
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and mvigorates the system. Hence it is often adj
yantageous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, offen finds that
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.

Died ina Knoxville, Tennessee.

Sister Annie G. Bailey, daughter of j. 4. and
Julia n. Bailey, was born in Montgomery
county, Va, November Sth, 1857, died April
10Th 1871. When about eleven years of age
she joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and
continued consistent member until death re-
moved her to the church triumphant She was
devotedly attached to the Church and Sabbath
School. n o ordinary excuse was sufficient to
keep her from her place in her class, or her pew
in church. She possessed mind well balanced
and a soul well cultivated in the christian
graces for one of her tender years. She was
meek and amiable in her disposition, kind and
affectionate to all, and beloved by all who were
fortunate enough to form her acquaintance
In her last sickness she suffered for about two
weeks the most excruciating PAIN and yet she
endured 1t all without n murmur At one time
while in great physical pain she called her
mother to her bedside, and putting her arms
about her neck said she, INA, am ueTy hdppy."
Well and forcibly did she illustrate the precept
enioined by the apotle James, / chap. verse 4,
But let patience have her perfect work that
ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing -
A large circle of friends attended the funeral
services to pay their last tribute of respect to one
so worthy of their esteem and affection.
brief discourse was delivered by the writer from
| the striking language of Ezekiel, Thou shall
| surely die" Blessed be God for the comforto-
| bic assurance, that although death may rob u,
| of our loved ones yet father, mother, 6rothc,
and sisters may all meet again with the depart
| ed one in that blessed christian home above
| 20 how sweet it will be in that beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and main,
With songs our lips and with harps in our hands,
To meet one another again"

both sides, the case was submitted to the jury,
who imme diately retired TO their room, the vote
being takon, resulted, seven in favor Of convic-
ton and five for acquittal 1t was then pro-
posed and agreed by all the jurors, that straws
should DO drawn for the verdict. According
ly strsws wero prepared, drawn and resulted in

therefore prepared, signed and rendered by the
