THE huge, drastic, gripping, sickening pills,
constructed of crude, coarse and bulky in
gradients, are fast being superseded by DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Sugar,
Coated, Concentrated Root and Herbal
Juice, Anti-Bilious Granules-the Little
Giant Cathartic or 1Multuna in Parvo Physic.
Modern Chemical Science enables DR.. Pierce
to extract from the juices of the most valua-
BILE roots and herbs their active medicinal
principles, which, when worked into little
Pellets or Granules, scarcely larger than mus
tard seed, renders each little Pellet as active
and powerful as large pill, while they are
much more palatable and pleasant in effect.
DIR. IRA A. THAYER, of Baconsburg, Ohio,
writes: :" regard your Pellets IS the best
remedy for the conditions for which you
prescribe them of anything l have ever used,
SO mild and certain in effect, and leaving the
bowels in an excellent condition. 1t seems
to me they must take the place Of all other
cathartic pills and medicines"
LYON & MACoMBER, druggists, Vermillion
D. T., say: ave think they are going to
sell like hot cakes as soon as people get ac-
| quainted with them and will spoil the pill
trade, as those that have used them like them
much better than large pills"

DIR. scb.uek,, Standard Remedies.

THE standard remedies for all diseases OF the
lungs are ScHENcK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, ScHENcK's
SEA WEED TONIC and ScHEHCK's MANDRAKE
PILLS and II taken before the lungs destroyed,
a speedy cure is effected.
10 these three medicines DR.. ]. Il. Schenck, Of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup hpens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm matter is ripe
slight cough will throw It of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver removing all distractions, relax the
gall the bile starts freely and the Liver IL
soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali, of which it ia composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to .
healthy condition. SO that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient viii surely get well care Ii
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck, either per
sonally by letter, can do go at his principal Of
fee, corner Of sixth and ARCH STs., Philadelphia

Schenck's medicines arc sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

precedents as well as any man in Tarry-
town. But he'd take to chasing the SUBJ
ject through the books like hound af-
ter hare, and there was an end of all
practical good of him for a month. Or,
if you wanted deed, he'd go to ferret
ing out the title back to the tomahawk
claims, and to hunting up the history
of all the owners" 1t was better than
a play, he said, to make searches for
title. Business soon left that office, of
course. The Office was a large, white
washed room, lined with rough shelves
of old books, a stove in one corner,
where Johnny cooked his own meals,
neat bed behind a check curtain, and,
scattered miscellaneously, two or three
dogs, some of the neighbors' children,
a dozen tame canaries, goldfnch, and
a parrot. Outside there was queer old
garden, full of herbs and roses, a poul-
try-yard, tanned squirrels, pigeons, more
dogs. 1t was but additional proof of
half-idiocy to the townspeo-
pie that he chose to spend his life study
ing queer books, in tongues that no.
body understood, to making money. AS
to the animals and children, they took
to him naturally, as though he were
one of themselves.
Johnny was always busy. Besides his
books, he brewed from his herbs
draughts, salves, lotions, for almost
every disease, which he gave away. Of
he had sold them, they would have lost
virtue) If any body was sick or dead, =
was sent for at once. Nobody

will procure us the greatest num- Der of cash subscribers for one year and make report of the same to us on or before January 25th 1S77-provided the winner of this prize must report not less than ten names. Let us see now who has the most energy about hlm. When we remind our readers that there are hundreds of families in this county who are not subscrib CTS to this nor any other paper; and when we take into considera- tion that the price of our paper is only $l.50 per year, and that al most everybody has a little mon. ey on hand at this season of the year, it would seem that some handsome clubs ought to be se- cured. We are satisfied that there are many men in our coun- ty, who, without any greater efFort than merely to mention the mat ter to those with whom they come in contact, and to solicit their subscriptions, could secure hand some clubs. Just solicit the sub scription ofyour neighbors whom you know are able to subscribe, remind them that it is their duty to assist in sustaining a home pa per, and if you think our paper deserves it say a good word for it, and you will be very apt to get their subscriptions.
 Commence at once and get up some good big clubs.
 ---CoTToN SHIPMENTS. From fig ures furnshee by station agent Howell, it appears that the cotton shipments from this station over the Little Rock & Ft. Smith road up to Nov. 30th amount to 2,474 bales. Shipments for same time last year were 2,36S, showing a gain this year of l06 bales. Had it not been for the destruction and loss caused by the boil worm in this section the gam would have amounted to several times what it is. By the close ot the season we expect a gain of at least 300 bales.
 Judge N. D. Shinn, has our sincere thanks for his kind remem brance in the way of substancial favors.

A Card to the Public,

For many years we have made two medicines suited to the ailments of a vast class of sufferers. Thous- ands of cures have been made by by them, and, in fact, the word fail ure could not be coupled with them. But within the last two years coun- terfeits of our medicine have sprung up, dangerous in their close imita- tion of our Trade Mark. To secure the people we have placed upon each genuine box ot Hollowav's s Ointment the fac simile of the sig nature of our agent, Mir. Jos. Hay dock. To counterfeit is felony. We shall relentlessly pursue any one who initiates this with the utmost vigor of the law. We most earnest ly beg that the great mass of the American people will ai us in our efforts to protect their health, and help us in our task of bringing these most unprineipled men to the bar of justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr. Jos. Haydock' $ signature is attacned to each box of Pills or pot of Ointment and the end will soon be reached.
 The public's obedient servants,
 HOLLOWAY & Co.
