Dr. John Bulls Smiths Tonic Syrup {!
 FOR THE CURE OF Fever e. Ague CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it superiority over all reme- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, GER TAIN and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing He refers 10 the entire West 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 great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is con- tinued in smaller doses for week or two after shc disease has been checked, more especially in difficult 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 cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient
 The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have DR. JOHN BULLS private stamp on each bottle. DIR. JOHN BULL only has the right to manufac- ture and sell the original JOHN J. SMITa's TONIC SYRUP. of Louisville, Ky. Examine well the label on each bottle. If my private stamp is not on each bottle do not purchase or you will be deceived

John o. Pendleton for the defense. Mrs
Lindsay swears out all the warrants, the

the mail from Wheeling TO Cadiz, has aban.
doned the service, and the offices at Cope,

usual mail supply, The patrons OF the route
will have to obtain their mail, for the pres.

avail themselves Of, until such time as TEN.
pOrary arrangements can be effected for their
relief, Postmaster Sterling has taken the
matter In hand and has received instructions
TO employ service at the lowest rate possible,
but In no event at agreater price than the
last contract figures. lie informs us that the
great drawback In securing some one to take
charge OF the route is owing to the difficulty
experienced In supplying the office at Cope
the roads leading thereto being almost I'm.
paSSable, and requiring about as much time
to perform the service from Cadiz pike to
that office as would be consumed In travers.
Ing any other eight miles OF tho route. We
trust the people Of the territory supplied by
this route will have the mail facilities u
which they are entitled at very early day
as they are on intelligent newspaper reading

convenience under which they labor.
The regular contractor for the route Is Mr..
Andrew w, Clark, Of AnEona, Iowa, and un.
I'll he Is notified Of the condition OF affairs
the pOStofllcc Department can do nothing To-
ward permanent supply. In the meantime,
however, Postmaster Sterling will make every
effort to afford temporary relief, and Is at
present using his best exertlons TO that end.
