pr. John Bulls Smiths Tonic Syrup! FOR THE CUREOF Fever e. Ague
 -OR CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for 1t superiority over all reme- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Vest ern and southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will It fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out In a great many cases single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with q perfect restoration of the general health. It is however prudent, and in every case more certain to cure if its use is con unued in smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in oifficult and long standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. should the patient, how eyer, require q cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be sufficient
 The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have Dk JOHN BULLS private stamp on each bottle DIX JOHN BULL only has the right to manufac- ture and sell the original JOHN J. SMITHS TONIC SYRUP, of Louisville, Ky. Examine well the iaole on each bottle. If my private stamp is not deceived.

Imitation, TO any great extent, implies we
should think n degree Of real excellence in
the party or custom initiated. Americans
have been censurcd by their own brethren
for "apcng" the manpcrs and habits obtain
ing in mcrrie England, but IL must be an
inherent admiration which dcfics ridiculc
and reasserts stronger than before the "apc-
ing" process. Witness the Tally-lio get
up, which has been running these two sea-
sons past between the New York metropolis
and New Rcchclle-driven by that prince
of imitators, Col de Iiancy Kane; Boosting
its mud-bespattcrcd outriders, its roof pas
sengers, lis clarion horn the delight of adj
p,iring villagers along its route and the small
boy in particular And now, this conta-
gio,is innovation has spread to Washington
city. A veritablc tally-ho connection lweek-
ly) between ihc Capital and Cabin John
Bridge bids fair TO become an institution,
while Albion looks on upon this delightful
mimicry with n satisfied gaze.
