SPECIAL NOTICES
PHYSICIANS & DRUGGISTS.

"A prominent New York physician lately COM
plalncd 10 DCNDAs DICK about his SANDAL
WOOD OL CAPSULES, stating that sometimes
they cured mlraculously but that patient of
his had taken them for some time without ef.
feet. On being Informed that several imita-
tons were made and sold, he inquired and
found that his patient had been taking cansr
les sold in bottles, and not Dundas Dick d. Co.'S.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DundaS Dick d. Co.
take this method of protecting physicians,
druggists and themselves, and preventing Oil
Of SaHdal'rood from coming into tlisrepute.
{hySicidns who once prescribe the Capsules
will continue to do so, for they contain the pure
Oil, in the best d7ld cheapest form.
Dundas Dick & Co. use more Oil of Sandal
wood IN the manufacture Of their Capsules
than all the Wholesale and Retail Druggists
and Perfumers III the United States combined,
and this is the sole reason why the l}atre Oil is
sold Cheaper in their Capsules than in any
other form.
Oil Of Sandn2,rood is fast superseding every
other remedy, sixty Capsules only being re-
qulred to insure u safe and certain cure in six
or eight days. From no other remedy can this
result be had.
DICKS SOFT CAPSULES solve the problem
long considered by many eminent physicians,
OF how to avoid the nausea and disgust expert
enced in swallowing. " hicl are well known to
detract frOn, if not destroy, the good effects
of many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules arc put up in tin-foiI and neat
boxes, thirty i'll each, and are the only Cap
snicS prescribed by Physicians.

Parish Roads.

We have been informed that III. CT. May,
Esq, Superintendent of Public Roads for our
parish, has had the bridge built over the Te-
che, on the road from 0pe1ousas to Barry's
Landing, and alse the one across the Croquant.
Tbs system adopted by the Police Jury, of
late, we understand, il this: Whore a bridge
is to be built, the Police Jury supplies the me-
cessary material, and the work of construction
j. done by the road hands, under the super
vision Of the overseers of the roads and of the
Superintendent, if possible. This system has
worked admirably so far, and the cost to the
parish, for building bridges. since its adoption
has been less than under tile old system.
The Superintendent has caused some good
work to be done lately between Opelousas and
Baycu Calliham, on the Grand Coteau road.
This work, directly under the superintendent
of q. Frazee, Esq, the road overseer, good as
II i, would have been done in manner more
satisfactory to himself, the Superintendent,

The public health is far from being good in
ssem to be of the opinion that SO many differ
emit fevers as are now prevalent are rarely to
be met with at this season of the year. Most
Of them are not dangerous, it is true, unless
neglected and allowed to degenerate into ty-
phoid, or congestiye or cerebral fevers. The
dengu6, however, seems to be master of the
ituation, and although not dangerous is none
the less to be dreaded, ON account of the ex-
eruciating pains which it superinduees.
