Sensation Among Agents

DIR, TUFTS pills. are composed of many
ingredients. Prominent among them are
Sarssparilla and Wild Cherry, SO united as 10
act together; the one. through its admtxture
with other substances, purifying and purgi ms /:
whilethe other is strengthening the system
Thus these Pills are at the same time tonic
aad eathartie, a adesideratum long sought for
sy medical men, Lut never before discovered
IN other words, they do the work OF two medi-
Gin es and DO il much better than any Two we
know OF. for they remove nothing from the
systeir but impurities. SO That While they
purge they also strengthen and hence thsy
cause no debility and are followed by no re-
action.
DIR. TUFTS Pil2s have a wonderful infiu-
ence on the blood. They not only purify with
ont weakening it. but they remove all hoxious
particles from the chyle before it Is converted
into fluid and thus makes impure blood an
utter impossibility. AS there Is no debilifa-
ton SO there is 40 nausea or SICK pess attend
ing the operation of this most excellent medt-
cine which never strains or tortnres the d.
yestfve vrgans, but causes them to Nork in
perfectly natural manner: hence persons Ia
King them do not become pale ana emaciafed
but on the contrary. while all impurities are
being removed the combined action of the
Sarssparilla and Wild Cherry purifies and in
vigorates the body and a robust state OF health
Is The result os their united action. Price, .
cents a box. Sold by all druggists. DOs

The "Science of a New Life" by
John. Cowan, M. D., is the title Of a
new book, which is being introduced
in this community by the agent, Jos.
Woodroffe, Esq. We have not had an
opportunity Of giving this work more
than cursory examination, but judg-
ing from its table of contents and the
many fiattering notices of the press,
we take it to be worthy Of a place in
every household. Itseems to bea clear,
Comprehensive, and concise treatise, on
the laws, which regulate human life.
We feel warranted in asking of the
public candid hearing of. the claims
of this most admirable and much need
ed work. Mr.. Woodroffe has sold ii.
ready nearly four hundred copies. Mr..
Israel Lewis is assisting in the canvas.
