Sam ShurtIiif Endorses "Dr. Pills.
bury's SMALLPOX Specific"
There are some curious people IN this
world, and they are not confined 10 any
particular race or locality, although the
pectliarities of certain races may be pecu-
liar to them alone. For instance, the
noble red man of America cannot enjoy
good health without having the smallpox
at least once year. It's just as natural
for Mr. Lo TO have the smallpox as 1t is
for some white people to have the itch. l
never knew of but one Indian who didn't
have it regular, ard he died soon after in
consequence. The medicine man said there
wasn't smallpox enough to go round, else
he could have saved him. l learned this
from DIR. Pillsbury, who made mistake
by rushing among the tribe in the vain
hope of curing their smallpox and gain
ing their gratitude and many ratskins
therefor. But, as the red man enjoys
solid comfort for the time he is annually
permitted to go forth and traffic with his
white brother, and sell him furs and bas-
kets, with that beautiful disease, the
smallpox, thrown in, the DIR. had to
"g1t." Il isn't one of the peculiarities of
the Indian race to pay for medicine to
cure a disease which affords them one of
their greatest luxuries. Accordingly, they
drove the doctor forth with clubs and
yells, and asserted their right to have the
small pox or anything else. But this is
only popularity of the race. DR.. Pills
bury had an eccentric way of doing
things peculiar TO himself individually.
After the Samaritan-like propositions of
the doctor had been rejected by these no.
BILE sons of the forest, he proposed to cen
terprise" by extensively advertising his
specific among a people who do not enjoy
the disease to any great extent. Not hav-
ing the requisite quantity of "toadskins"
to pay for hefty puff, he employed me
at nominal price to give him start in a
small way by writing him an advertise
ment. Not wishing TO tell any lies re-
garding its efficacy, took few doses,
and with the following results: Since
taking "Dr. Pillsbury's Smallpox Spe-
cific," have not had the disease, neither
has my wife, nor either of our
five children. A lively hound pup
that plays daily with the children,
has not had the dog distemper;
and the aforesaid pup had habit of suck
ing eggs, killing young ducks and chick
ems, bringing old bones into the parlor,
anu Quiet t1lChc. LAC hao
dropped these habits entirely since took
the Specific. Every family should keep
it. Price one dollar per bottle.
! AS HAIR VIGoR.
When 1 first took the specific was en-
tirely bald In four days had plenty OF
fine glossy hair. put some on the end
of a ramrod, and in few minutes the
hair had started enough to make an ex-
cellent gun-wiper. The young ones got
hold of bottle of the specific and raised
Ned generally 1t will hair out doll
beautifully in five minutes. A pair OF
spectacles were haired over and spoiled
Spools of thread, scissors, and everything
living around loose had patch of hair
on it. Every family should keep it locked
up, away from the children, but when
they go skating they can use little on
the ice, to make a dry, warm place to sit
down on. One dollar per bottle.
AS DYSPEPSIA CURE,
it beats the world. Soon after taking the
'sspecific," began to eat pebbles, nails,
broken glass, chunks of old iron, ETC..
with a relish. / swallowed pair of rub
Der boots on a wager, and they were a;
harmless as custard.
A neighbor, who has been suffering fol
years with dyspepsia, and has only smell
| ed OF the bottle once, now subslsts entire
| ly on old rubber car-springs, which ht
contracts for at the railroad shops. One
dollar per bottle for the specific.
AS A DENTRIFIcE.
it is worth fifty times the price, which is
one dollar per bottle. One day oul
youngest accidentally got few drops or
his "teething ring" An hour or so af
terward was feeling for his coming
| grinder, and the little rascal nearly bit my
/ -. -er off. He had mouthful of teeth
W;s crs,, 'nother,was about to squander
a hundred dolla,.Ss for set of false teeth
but little of the spe1ccific rubbed onto
her aged gums soon broughI iortn TOW
of teeth of pearly whiteness. 1t 10 eAoei
| lent for putting teeth into old horse-rakes,
harrows, and the like. 1t will put teeth
into the mouth of a cannon or the mouth
of river, and the Doctor is contracting
to put set of teeth into the mouth of the
Mammoth Cave. If he does, people who
90 there soiU be sure to get "bit." Price
one dollar per bottle.
FOR BLINDNESS.
there is nothing like it. A man who had
his eyes destroyed by gunpowder took
one dose, and he can now see where he
missed it in being careless with gunpow-
der. A dissipated youth took it, and he
can see the tITOI VI LIS ways. AOu Ou5ht
to see it operate.
AS BEAUTIFIER.
A lady in Michigan who looked SO
frightful and ugly that she could not
nurse her infant without blindfoldlng the
little innocent, after taking two bottles
became so beautiful that her husband has
been Obliged to shoot seven gentlemen tc
prevent elopement. He can now keep q
| dog, and little children are not afraid tc
come to his house. Another lady who
was greatly distressed on account OF the
monstrous size of her feet took foul
bottles and now wears number three
CATERS. Price one dollar per bottle.
AS MORAL MEDICINE
| it is awful. 1t is sure cure for DISPOSE
| tion to tell lies, and as / am writing this
under its moralizing influence, this state
ment may be regarded as strictly reliable
1t is good to kill rats, reaches, bedbugs
ants, and those insects which are so trouble
some to country school boys. Good tc
mend tin-ware, polish silver ware and
| furniture. Children that take it like to
go to school and never cry for candy OF
| hook the preserves. 1t will stop crows
from pulling corn, and is sure death on
potato bugs. 1t will cure any person OF
wanting to steal, and they will bring back
all they ever did steal,
