aG2-
The Patrons of Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the unccr-
tain, strengthless decoctions of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far-famed, old established
remedy.
DO not be deceived by similarity
OF odor and appearance. These
mutations cannot an any instance
be compared with Ponds Ex.
tract.
AnIs great Curative is always of Il
steady and uniform Character.
The extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds Ex.
tract enables the Company to
guarantee this, while the imitator
does not produce the same result
twice in succession.
The true secret of the manufac.
ture of Ponds Extract is
too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted to escape
Other interruptions trades
men, desirous of making a larger
profit, are in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they
do not keep it in bottles, but have
it in bulk
This Company is mos. sOlicf-
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishonorable trick, resorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public cheap dec oction
that can not in any way compare
in purity and quality with this
old established remedy.
Some of our friends arc in the
habit of taking old Ponds
Extra ct bottles to the druggists
to be refilled. No dealer can
refill bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle
The Ponds Extract Company
will feel indebted 10 any one who
furnishes them with the name Of
any dealer who attempts TO sell
them any article in bulk as
Ponds Extract. or the same
as Ponds Extract. Those so
@ doing are violating an act Of Con-
gTess passed Aug. 14th 1876, the
penalty of which is fine and i'm
prisonment

Political.

The State of Virginia is proposing to APP
ply to the Supreme Court for a writ of prohi-
bition to restrain Judge Rves from proceed
ing further in carrying out his construction OF
the constitutional amendment. Whether the
Supreme Court will take original jurisdiction
of such complaint made to it by State is
very doubtful. Thus far that Court has held
that it had no jurisdiction at the suit of the
parties applying to issue writs of prohibition
except in admiralty cases.

from business engagements, be on hand.

daughter to go away from home unmarried,
