and after we licked 'em they stole

"WeIl, what do you want to men
ton that in the paper for?"
"Oh, we don't want anything
said about that, but we want to chal-

nine innings"
Just here an elderly lady, with an

the voungster by the ear and waltzed

Whose gnarled roots your throne might be,

And heaven itself within yo1r face.

form and one of the few subscription
books that is inst what it claims to

sign engag ing thus the attention Of
the young, but it is Of practical worth
and cannot fail of finding favor with
all historic readers, as at Il glance it
shows what was transporting in differ
cnt parts of the world at any gwen
time, thus aiding memory and bring
iag regularity out of vague historic
facts that are stored in almost every
mind, but useless lumber, because not
grouped in regular order. We trust
that it will meet with ready sales as it
is desirable that truly valuable books
be introduced among us. This is to
the student in history what an atlas
is to the student in Geography, and
equally valuable to the young as we'll
as the advanced historic readers.

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT
est surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. BY their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys
TEN expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become cloggcd
and sluggish are clensedby AYcr's PjHs, and
stimulated into action. Thus ncipicpt disease
is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when rcckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues uampared for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet or
occupation.
Fun directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pitis rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsise or indigestion, EistIess.
ness, EanguOr and Loss OF Appetite. they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom.
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, sick Ekeati-
ache. BaundiCe or Green sickness, Hill
iOus Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
tut OF DuG OIe
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, GsOut, Gravel, Pal
pitatiOn Of the Heart, Pain I'm the
Side, Back and LOins, they should be contin.
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Epropsy and DrorsicnI SwcItines,
they should be taken In largeand frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression, large dose should be
TAKEN as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
AS Dinner Pill, take one or two RUS to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and inyigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose Of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect ON the digestive
apparatus.
