tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for theig
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are 80 composed that obstruc-
tions 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 bafiled the best of
human skill While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children BY
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infanaed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
spgar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while

the hands Of negro in the ncighborhood
who had from some other circnnist ances

The negro stated that he obtained the
money from o man by the name Of Short.
Ia the meantime the body was found in an

statement being that he and man living
in this parish had murdered the traveller
for his money, about fifteen hundred dol

He also stated that the knife Of his con
