CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 10, 1874.
DR. c. c. Frost Words can never express the
gratitude we fell toward you for the joy and COM
fort YOU have given us in curing our daughter
from that loathsome disease, scrOtula. From
early childhood she has been afflicted in one
foral or another, with it, and never until now has
been free from it. Her face had not been free
from sores since she was eighteen months old
(she is now thirteen years of age. \ few years
ago 1t settled mainly in her eyes and ears. and
we feared she would lose her sight We had eN
pended hundreds of dollars to obtain the best
medical skill to be had in the country, but all to
no purpose; physicians could not help her; she
grew worse constantly. After all this, can you
blame us that we were so 10th TO try your medi.
cine? we had no faith in anything. We tried
your medicine because you was so sure it would
help her; we did not believe it ourselves; but
before the second bottle was finished we noticed
change for the better. She grew stronger, her
eyes began to get BETTER and she appeared like
another beng After taking seven bottles (the1
last was taken last ApriD, she was pronounced
well girl, and at the presenttme is in the enjoy.
ment of perfect health. Respectfully yours,
MIR. AND MRS. j. L. PAIGE.

- %Wa suffering is prevent
ed by their timely
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 Pitts with which
the market abounds. BY their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the co1uptions of the sys-
TEN expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity Internal organs which become cloggea
and sluggish are cleansed by 1Uer's PiIIs, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast mMltitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues uAimpaned for any length OF time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operaf
without disturbance to the constitution, or Diet or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them rs Family Physie,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pits rapidly cure:-
For HpysgIepsiss or Indigestion, Kistlesss
ness, EasguOr and loss OF Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stoIn-
ach, and restore Its healthy tone and action.
For Ever Conn lbi aine and its various symp-
toms, bilious Headnche, Sick Head
ache. BaUnslice or Green sickness, Bill
iOGs Collie and Billions Eevers, they should
be judicously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it..
For Esysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For kSheuEnatisna, sSOGt, Gravel, PHl-
IpitatiOn of the Heart, Pain I'm the
Side, Hack and E.Oina, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dr0Psy and EHrOHaicRI SweIlinge,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect Of a drastic purge,
For suppression, n large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
patty.
AS q Dinner PiH, take ono or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
tolerably well, often finds that dose of these
PiUs makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

A Woman's Advice.
Philadelphia. *

In the ladies' waiting.room at one of the depots might have been seen, recently two women; one young and handsome, the other old and ugly. The various trains rushed in and rolled out, the last passenger train for some hours had departed, but still they sat, these two women.
 The day faded into night. The lamps were lighted. The agent went home, and the many laborers went home. Minutes dragged slowly by, and hours seem to crawl. Every few moments would the young women look up at the clock. Finally the old woman broke the silence.
 "Goin' away ?"
 "Yes,"
 One remark led to another, un- til they were chatting quite con- fidentially. The old woman said she was going to "Shicagey," and told many things. The young woman, in turn, became commu- nicative, and said her lover was coming in on the midnight train, and that she was going with him ito the next station to be married.
 "Been engaged lOng"
 "Three years"
 "Your lover in business?"
 "Yes."
 "Railroader"
 "No."
 well, I'm glad on it. Never marry railroader. Is he SOL dier ?'
 "NO."
 "Well, Pm glad on it. Never marry soldier. Hotel-keeper?''
 "No,"
 "Well, Pm glad on it. Never marry Hotel-keeper. TraNelln' man?"
 "No.n

The Newspaper Borrower.

The Albany .Knicker6ocker speaks out in this plain language concerning a class with which nearly every subscriber to a news paper is familiar "Of all the ills that earth or society are heir to-, that of the newspaper borrower Is the most obnoxious. Newspaper borrowers have no sense of res pect, no idea of honor, and are to- tally devoid of modesty. They are a class of people who may justly be termed vampires, who feed upon the fruits of others. They prefer to borrow your news. paper, but if they cannot borrow, they don't hesitate to steal it. AS an article of value they think 8 newspaper is worthless, and yet they will lie, and, if needs be. commit larceny, to become posses. sed. of it."
