There are some curious people in thi
world, and they are not confined to an
particular race or locality, although tn
peculiarities of certain races may be pecu
liar to them alone. For instance, tn
noble red man of America cannot enjo,
good health without having the small pc,

for Mr.. LO to have the smallpox as it i
for some white people to have the itch.

small pox, thrown in, the DIR. had to
git" 1t isn't one of the peculiarities OF
the Indian race to pay for medicine tC
cure 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
smallpox 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 zen
terprise" by extensively advertising his
specific among 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 a 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 a few doses,
and with the following results: Since
taking CDR. Pillsbury's Smallpox Spe-
has my wife ' 'A nor rn' either OF s our
five children. A lively Mound pup
that plays daily witA the children,
has not had the dog distemper;
and the aforesaid pup had a habit of suck
ing eggs, killing young ducks and chick
ems, bringing old bones into the parlor,
and other unmannerly tricks. He has
dropped these habits entirely since l took
the Specific. Every family should keep
it. Price one dollar per bottle.
AS HAIR vIGOR.
When first took the specific 1 was en-
tirely bald. In four days had plenty of
line glossy hair. l put some on the end
OF ramrod, and in few minutes the
hair had started enough to make an eX-
cellent gun-wiper. The young ones got
hold of a bottle of the specific and raised
Ned generally. 1t will hair out a doll
beautifully in five minutes. A pair of
spectacles were haired over and spoiled.
Spools of thread, scissors, and everything
ying around loose had patch of hair
On it. Every family should keep it locked
up, away from the children, but when
hey go skating they can use a little on
he ice, to make dry, warm place to sit
Town on. One dollar per bottle.
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURE,
t beats the world. Soon after taking the
specific" l began to eat pebbles, nails,
broken glass, chunks of old iron, ETC.,
with relish. 1 swallowed pair of rub
Der boots on wager, and they were as
as a custard.
