The is scarcely any disease in which pnr. gative medicines are not more or less re- quired, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented were they more gener- ally used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and often fatal dieases which.might have been avoided by timely and judicious use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Sugar Coated Concentrated Root and Herbal Juice, Anti Bilious Granules. These Pel- lets, unlike every other cathartic, produce such secondary tonic effect upon the bow els as to bring about permanent healthy action and increase their peristaltic mo- tions.

Frank Leslie to the Boys and
 Girls of America!

Girls Of America have the pleasure to inform you that
 seeing how much you admire Jack Hark-
 away and his adventurous career, have, at a very great outlay, induced the Author
 of that capital story to take up his resi-
 dence in America, ard write exclusively i for Frank Leslie's Boys and Girls Weekly. 1 In future. therefore, all the interesting 1 stories of this celebrated writer will ap-
 pear exclusively in my publications You will read with delight, am sure,
 the following from the pen of this favorite! Author:
 To the Boys and Girls of America. My YoUNG FRIENDS:
 For some time past I have been fortu- na'e enough to write stories which have
 met with your approval. In his usual spirited manner, Mir. Frank Leslie has made arrangements with me to
 continue "Jaek Harkaway," :'The Scape-
 grace of the School" etc., and shall now
 have the pleasure of introducing your favorites to your notice in America. I confidently hope you will like them as well on the free soil of the United States
 as you have done in the Old Copusry. . shall render their adventures in the Great Republic thrilling, interesting and
 Imaginable. Jack Harkaway under the ] Stars and Stripes will be the same honest. straightforward, rollicking hero that you have seen at school, at sea. at the Univer-
 sity of Oxford, and among the desperate
 brigands of Italy; but guess that in
 America he will fairly surpass all that he
 has done before, and you will say that | ''Jack Harkaway in America" is the boy
 for your money, and that no one can beat
 him for frolic and adventure.
 | At the same time, the story which com
 mences in No. 379 of Frank Leslie's Boys
 and Girls Weekly will point a moral for
 all readers to follow, as it is at all times
 my purpose to instruct as we'll as amuse
 those of ny young friends who give, me
 their support; and ask you all to look
 out for the grand new story, of ssJack
 Harkaway in America" which will posi-
 lively appear only in Frank Leslie's Roys'
 and Girls Weekly. . ....t. Your sincere friend, iS'l: ! BRACEBRDaR HEMYNa. l. . (Jack Harkavay,) gr | New York, December 23d 1873.
