agent the blood, which i'll a state of health
rushes laden with the elements of vitality
to the remotest parts of the system. But
when the stomach is semi paralyzed by dys
pepsia. blood manufacture is carried on inn
perfectly, the circulation grows Thin and
sluggish, aud the system suffers in conse.
quence. Moreover, indigestion reacts upon
the liver and bowels, rendering the first
sluggish and the latter constipated. The

ralgia!

Those terrible enemies of human happi-
ness, Rheumatism. GOut, and Neuralgia,
heretofore seemingly nncOnqnerable, have
indeed found their master in jenkins Ami
hilator. We nave the testimony Of men of
the highest standing in Louiriana and 9th
er States, that after suffering indescribable
pains for years, from which they sought re-
lief in vain by visiting the Tot and Warm
springs of Arkansas and Virginia, and by
using dozens of remedies more or less high
ly praised, when, in fact, hope had almost
died out, they have found relief from pain
by the use of the Annihilator, and by con-
tinuing it for a short time, nave been per-
fectly cured. The AnnihilatOr is a prepa-
ration purely vegetable, agreeable to the
taste and may be taken without fear of any
injurious results by the delicate as we'll as
the robust in constitution.

is money in the Treasury OF the
Parish to pay all outstanding war
rants issued previous to January
LIST. 1876, aud also all warrants is
sued in 1876, down to No 4Sl.
Thus gradually and steadily the
debt of the Parish is being liqul
dated, and as there is nc indebt-
edness except for warrants issued
in 1876, ("ll business since Jan
uarv LIST. 1877 having been paid
cash) it will not be long before
Lafourche has paid every claim
against her, without ever having
asked her creditors to make any
reduction of their claims, Lafonr-
che may be proud of her finapcial
record, having paid every claim
made during tie war, and redeem
ed every dollar Of her notes issued
in the first years of the war.
This debt being wiped out the
present year. her taxes, which
have never exceeded one per cent
on the assessment of the property
OF her citizens, can be reduced,
and a larger proportion turned in
to the School Treasury, by which
the pnblic school system can be
improved aud aided.
