AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, If timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ

He DID NOT MINCE MATTERs.-A
representative of the Lynn Mass.
Item, in late ramble throughout that
city, gathered, among other scraps of
interest and information, the following:
The first place visited by the reporter
was the fruit store of Mr.. J. Levett,
No. 81 Market street, in response to a
rumor that the proprietor had been
cured of the rheumatism by the great
remedy. Mr.. Levett not being in, the
reporter had talk with his son. Mr..
Levett stated that his father had been
cured of an exceedingly bad attack of
rheumatism by the st. Jacobs Oil. He
had the disease in his right arm and
shoulder. which became perfectly help
less after being affected a few hours.
His pain was so great that he could not
rest in comfort or attend to business
with any degree of satisfaction. After
enduring this sort of thing for some
time, he purchased a bottle of the Great
German Remedy and began to apply it.
He did not mince matters at all, but
just used the Oil for all it was worth.
After pursuing this mode of treatment
for three days the pain was banished
and his father was in perfectly healthy
condition. He has never since felt any
rheumatic pain.

A REMEDY FOR POTATO BUGs.-
Troy's press tells of a farmer who has
tried a new remedy for potato bugs with
success. He procured a number of
boards and placed them here and there
among his potatoes and on these boards
were placed raw potatoes sliced. At
noon on the first day of the experiment
he and his hired men found every piece
of potato covered with bugs. The men
killed this crop and at night another
crop was killed, though not so large,
and in weeks time not bug could
be seen and his trouble with bugs after
this was comparatively small. In the
spring, he says, is the best time to at
tend to bugs, as a spring bug, he un-
derstands, breeds from 300 to 500 during
the potato season. He thinks it would
be a good plan to dip the piece of potato
in paris green, as it would save the
work Of killing them.
