DR.. Judson's Dead Shot Worm Candv.

In numbers there lie safety. 1t was upon shis
principle that the formula Of JUDsoH's MouS-
TA1E HsRR Pills was prepared. DIR. Judsop,
intending to spend fortune in advertising his
pills, submitted his reeips to the revision of the
most intelligent and learned physicians of the
age, and the result is simple but most efica-
cious med icne-the JUDsoKs MOUNTAIN Bean
Pulls. They purify the blood, remove all OBJ
struotions, cleanse the skin of all pimples and
otohes, and are perfectly sure and safe ia their
operation. Tho JUDsoNs MOUNTAIN HERp
PILLS cure Billiousness, Female irrexularities,
Headache, and many of the diseases Iartsin Q
from impure blood and a deranged digestion.
Use the Judson's Mountain H0rb Pulls, and
when you have proved their virtue recommend
them to your friends. They are both sugar
coated and plain. For sale oveFy where.

"DRUMMING. 1.-The Rockingham Register
says that the country merchants are getting
heartily tired of the ''drummers' sent to the
South, from the mercantile houses at the North,
and indeed, consider the whole drumming
business a nuisance that ought to be abated.
1t asserts that the drummers are positive
disadvantage to business men and the houses
they seek to represent, and very frequently dis,
gust those whose patronage they wish to Sc
cure" 1t says, the whole drumming bust
ness ought to be abolished, and that the coun-
try merchants ought not any longer to tolerate
it. The same opinion begins to prevail at the
North. where the system is considered, now, by
tn, merchants, as demoralizing, expensive, and
mischieyous. Advertising has been found
much cheaper and more effectual and profitable
than drumming"
