AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baflled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full 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 purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
- the elements of weakness.

Internal Revenue.

The internal revenue commissioner in his au-
nual report states that the heavy falling off in
receipts from internal revenue taxation which
marked the closing months Of the past fiscal year
has ceased, and the receipts for the current fiscal
year thus far show an increase. In q majority of
the States the internal revenue laws have been
enforced without serious difficulty. There has
been Q commendable spirit exhibited on the part
Of manufacturers and dealers to observe the law,
and IT is believed the tax Cd distilled spirits is now
being collected with fewer frauds and less loss TO
the government than at any time since the estab-
lishment OF the internal revenue system In the
majority OF districts prosecutions for violations of
the internal revenue laws have been reduced to a
minimum in consequence of steady enforcement
OF the laws and a state of public opinion favorable
to their observance and enforcement. In other
dstsicts, however, it has been found necessary to
multiply the prosecutors for violations of the
internal revenue laws, and institute vigorous
systematic efforts for the suppression of frauds
The commissioner says With extreme regret |
find it my duty to report the great difficulties that
have been and are still encountered in many
Southern States in the enforcement of the laws
In the mountain regions Of West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina
Georgia and Alabama, and in some portions of
Missouri, Arkansas and Texas the illicit manufac-
ture of spirits has been carried on a number of
years, and am satisfied that the annual loss to
the government from this source has been very
nearly, if not quite equal to the annual appropria.
ton for the collection of the internal revenue tax
throughout the country. | spprehend further
difficulties in the enforcement of the laws. 1t is
very desirable, in order to prevent bloedshed that
the internal revenue forces sent into those infect
ed regions to make seizures and arrests be so
strong ss to deter armed resistance. Referring
to the conditional amnesty granted to offenders
against the revenue laws the commissioner says
he 10 rot without hore that some good results may
follow. One advantage that has been derived
from the amnesty accorded is seen in the fact that,
whereas, previously our officers could scarcely en-
ter the infected counties without being fred at,
they now able in most cases to police the dis
trct with comparative safety. He is, however,
opposed to repetition of this business of wholesale
amnesty; hereafter he thinks, violators of the
law should be required to endure the penalties
provided by law for their offences. Great stress is
laid upon the necessity for the complete suppress
sion Of Illicit dstilng. and the subject is to be
brought prominently to the attention Of Congress.
with the hope that suitable appropriation for
the early suppression of these frauds will be made
The commissioner argues against the decrease of
the tobacco tax, and does not recommend any
change 10 the tax on spirits.
