ALLEN'S LIVER PILLS

Regulate the organs of the system restoring
functional harmony and securing the Sc
cretion of the proper constituents of each
organ. By their action the liver secretes
its allotted proportion of bile-the lungs
carbon, the skin sweat, the kidneys urine,
etc. and are always reliable as a purga-
tive.
The aged, and persons subjected TO Con-
stipation, Paralysis and Weakness of the
Bowels Kidneys and Bladder, etc., that
have TO resort TO Injections, by taking two
natural discharges, and by the occasional
use of them have regular operations. In
these cases their Strengthening and nutri-
tous principles are exhibited; every dose
will add new strength to the Bowels, Liver
Kidneys, etc. that may be worn or depleted
by age.
In these Pills, a want that science has
ever failed to supply Is secured, and this is
a thorough purgative that can be given
in safety in cases of eruptive fevers as in
smallpox, erysipelas, yellow fever, scarlet
and typhoid fevers. When the Mucous
Membrane becomes liberated these Pills
act thoroughly, yet heal liberated and ex
coriated parts. They are made from eX-
tracts--from new ingredients--entirely
vegetable, superior in every respect to the
ordinary powders and substances of the
common advertised pills and have a safe
certain, and uniform action.

BEECHER's LECTURES IN THE
WEST.

WEST.
From the indianapolis Journal.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher i.
making lecture tour Of the North
west aud charging $500 per night for
his lectures, and has made an agree
meat that he will not preach on Sun
days to interfere with the receipts for
his lectures. Mr. Bsecher made his
start in this city, and the Joarndt has
been very kindly disposed toward him
in his unminisserial tribulations, but
W. are very much inclined now 10 the
belief that he is fraud on general
principles. The $500 per night at the
present time is simply an extortion
which a Christian gentleman would
not led himself to, aud the agreement
to refrain from preaching the gospel
on Sunday is evidence conclusive thai
Mr.. Bescher regards the ministerial
robe in the same light as the fighting
Quaker did his-a garment that may
be thrown aside whenever it stands in
the way OF profit or pleasure, or when
he may want to enter intn fight. MIR.
Beecher considered 500 per night
fair compensation for his services
when times were flush, but then he
had not obtained the great potoriety
by being charged with, and not ac-
quilted of, adultery; and We presume
II ne should be charged with the vio-
lation of another # the Command
ments he would let himself out at
81 900 per night. II he would add to
this an agreement to quit the minis
terry entirely, we think the sooner the
charge could be preferred, the better.

purity and lofty patriotism in the face of
Phil Sheridan's biting description of him
and maintaining this ground even to the
final debate on Joe Bradley's rescript in
