AYERS CATHARTIc Pills are the best
Of all purgatiyeS 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
tiCns, proves them the best and most
oaectual 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
efectual, 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
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where 4 mild but effectual
cathartic is required

THE CoUPON DECIsIoN.-Judge
Bond, the Malone Arthur Stalwart
Judge OF tie u. S. Circuit Court,
has decided that taxpayer may
prevent an officer from leyying his
tax upon any OF his property after
he has made a tender in coupons.
The u. S. Circuit Court has .juriS>
dlctlon only where the tax is over
five hundred dollars. Therefore the
result OF the matter now is that
very corporation, blOated bond,
holder or railway that pays $500
taxes to the State. can pay them
in coupons, worth from forty to
fifty cents in the dollar. But the
farmer, merchant, mechanic or 9TH

be so wealthy or rich in this worlds
goods as TO pay a tax OF five
hundred dollars is required TO pay
his in currency, dollar for dollar.
