are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach ami
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote VIZ
orous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than o quarter Of century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several aSSimila-
tive organs of the body, and are 50
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baftied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best phySic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatiyes, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infamel. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deletcrious drug
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant TO take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

the Astonishing impudence to demand
$50 per month, aud yesterday evening
the Lee was obliged 10 offer $40 in or.
der 10 secure a crew. Just about the
hour the steamboat was ready 10 leave
the wharf the coiortd ro~usla5out.
struck Tor higher wages, well knowing
that at this seaso OF The year the Lee
could not afford to pustpoLe her trip
The men who wished 20 accept $50, the
wages paid for several weeks past,
