MEDICINES.


A prominent New York physician lately
complained to DUNDAS DICE & CO.,
about their SANDALwooD OH CAPSULES,
stating that sometimes they cured miracu
lousy, but that patient of his had taken
them without effect. On being informed
that several limitations were sold, he in.
quired and found his patient had not 6eeu
taking DUNDAS DICK Il CO.'S.
What happened to this physician may
have happened to others, and DUNDAS
DICK & CO., take this method of protect
ing physicians druggists and themselves, and
preventing OIL OF SANDALwooD from com
ing into disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Caspusles will continue to do SO, for they
contain the pure Oil in the best and cheap.
est form
DUNDAS DICK & CO., use more OIL OF
SANDALLwooD than all the Wholesale and
Retail Druggists aud Perfumers in the
United States combined, and this is the
sole reason why the pure Oil is sold
cheaper in their Capsules than in any
other form.
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast supered-
ing every other remedy. sixty Capsules
only being required to insure q safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From no
other medicine can this result be had.

LES solve the pro blem, long considered by
eminent physicians, SO how to avoid the
nausea and disgust experienced in swal-
lowing, which are we'll known to detract
from, if not destroy, the good effects of
many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules are put up intin-foil and
neat boxes, thirty in each, and are the only
Capsules prescribed by physicians.

soI1TH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.

On Thursday of last week, the House, by
vote of Sc to 48, passed to third reading,
q bill to make the offices Of county treasurer
and auditor elective. The bill met with STUB
born resistance from faction OF the Repuoll-
can party, led by Leslie, of Barnwell: In oP-
posing the bill, he charged that it was
scheme on the part of the democrats to get
control of the State, and made vehement ap.,
peals to the spirit of party, caste, color ana
prejudice. COL Beatty replied to Leslie and
rebuked him for appealing to party Pre]uol'
ces and said while he opposed the olll' II was
not on party grounds, but for the reason that
he would rather take the risk Of the governor
appointing good and competent men as coun'
ty treasurers than to trust their election by
the people. On the third reading of the bill
its consideration was indefinitely postponed:
The bill requiring circus companies and
other shows travelling in connection Herewith,

reading in the Senate.

priation of the revenue derived from liquor

PnSTAEE IN THE ENQUIRER.

We frequently receive subscriptions for the
ENQUIRER from persons at distance, accom-
panied with sum in addition to the subscrip-
tion price with which to pay the postage.
This is an unnecessary precaution on the part
of subscribers making remittances for the En-

per, without taxing the amount to the SUBJ
scriber. All of our subscribers, no matter
whether in the county or out of it, receive the
paper free Of postage without advance in the
regular subscription price. Those who have
sent us money to cover postage are credited
on the mail list with the additional amount
thus extending their subscriptions beyond the
time paid for by the regular subscription
