CURING

Ing the blood, are the most congenial purga-
tive yet perfected Their effects abundantly
show how much they excel all other pills. They
are safe and pleasant to take, powerful to cure.
They.purge out the foul humors of the blood ;
stimulate the sluggish or dlsordered organ into
action and they lmpart health and tone to
the whole being. They cure not only the every
Luy complaints OF everybody, but formidable
ami dangerous diseases. Most sklllful physi-
clans, most eminent clergymen, and our best
citizens, send certificates Of cures performed
and Of great benefits they have derived from
these pills. They are the safest and best
physlc Tor children because mild as well as eff
fectual. Being sugar coated. they are easy to
take; and being purely vegetable, they are en-
tirely harmless.

The Mystery Explained.

The Bald Mountain mystery has at
last been explained. In 1852, a man
named Gillem, a Confederate soldier who
was home on Through, chased a fox into
a cavern in the Mountain, and built n
hire in the same to smoke HIM out. lie
passed the place three weeks afterwards
and the fire, which was still burning, had
penetrated the Mountain further than the
eye could sec. His furlouyh having ex-
pred he went back to the army. After
the surrender at Appomattsx, curiosity
prompted him to visit the spot. Much to
his surprise he heard an indistinct roaring
In the very bowels of the Mountain, and
putting bis head to the mouth of the cav,
ern, b. inhalted the gas from burning
coal. lie is of opinion that the whole
Mountain is n vast coal bed. and that
his little adventure with the fox will ul-
timstely lead to the destruction of this
Continent. We give the story for what
1T is worth. Any one too stupid to be.
love 1T should read the Life and Adyen.
lures of Baron Munchausen.
