promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter Of 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 Lave bafIled 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 in1amed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe 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
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
rom their use in any quantity.

8 very dangerous article which you in

follows:
IA poison Of any conceivable des
criptioD and degree Of potency, which has
been intentionally or accidentally swal
lowed, may be rendered almost instantly
harmless BY simply swallowing two gill
Of sweet oil. An individual with 8 yery
strong constitution should take nearly
twice the quantity. This oil will mosi
positively neutralile every form Of veg
etable, animal, or mineral poison with
which physicians and chemists are &C.
quainted.S
We cannot see how this item hs es.
capped correction so long by some medi-
cal man, "a it has been copied without
comment time after time. It's absurdity
should be shown up before somebody has
human life TO answer for.
To think that the sweet oil will act a
specific BY neutraliring such poisons a
strychnine, Prussic Acid, Atropia, Nor.
phia, Cyanide Of Potassium, Sulphuric
Acid and = host Of other less speedy
poisons, is simply absurd. Sweet oil may
act benefcially in some cases where taken
in the stomach in large quantities, after
q poisonous substance has been swallow.
ed; but whilst this may be the case with
some poisons there are other cases in
which its action instead Of being adyau-

when the TimsSs statement in regard 10
the unfortunate affair with which my

sembles the bear 10 the fable who killed

Colorado Railroad War.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 4.-A special says
that the great railroad war that hAI besn
raging in Colorado for the past two
months, has been brought to practical
termination by the concurrent decision
rendered on Saturday BY Judges Dillon
and Poilett. The controversy hAs bean
between the Denver and Rio Graude
Company and the Santa Fe Conpa-
ny over the possession Of the great
Canon Of the Arkansas River for the pur.
pose Of connecting their respective lines.
The Canon 10 very narrow, and Il Il wall
cd very high 90 that practically but one
road.bed can be built through. For this
reason it is . pas Of great strategic
importance as controlling the railroad
movements In western and south western
Colorado.
In April last, both Cos. moved stimuli
taneously, large forces Of Workmen and
commenced grading through the Canon.
As both Companies seemed determined 70
hold possession, Il gave rise to great
excitement, and for some time bloodshed
was imminent The matter will, however,
speedily be carried into the Circuit Court
Of the United States for Colorado. Upon
application Of each Of the Cos. an injunc.-
ion against the other was temporarily
granted. Restricting orders we're Issued
against both companies until the matter
could be considered. The result Is that
the Judges decided that the right Of
occupation Is with the A. 7. as. +. road;
that The D. & 3. G. Co. acquired no par
rticular right Of way through the canon.
The former company is now In possession
Of the disputed ground, With 4 large fores
Of workmen grading an extension Of its
line to Leadyille. The D. 4 3. g. Com
pany have quietly Withdrawn thar forces.
This decision Il regarded Is signal VIC
tory for the Santa Fe road.
