AFTER DINNER.

Persons who suffer from Indigestion
can arrest the progress of that painful
malady by the use of an after-dinner
pill, so composed that it will give tone
to the stomach, prevent heartburn, rouse
the liver to healthful action, inyigorate
the kidneys, and thus, through the activity
of these organs, promote the natural
movement Of the stomach and bowels.
AYERS PILLS are so compounded that
their action, though MUD, efiectualy pro-
duces the above results. They also, in
curing Constipation, remove the cause of
Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Kidney Dis
ease, rheumatism, and many other serious
ailments.
AYERS PILLS
contain no mineral nor poisonous SUBJ
stance, and do not grippe unless the
bowels are irritated, and even then their
influence is healing. To continue their
effect in constipated or chronic cases, they
need only be taken In diminishing instead
of increasing doses. For seamen, and in
habitants or travellers in sparsely settled
countries where physicians are not at
There is hardly sickness they will not
alleviate, and in most cases cure, if taken
promptly. To young girls just entering
upon womanhcod, and to women whose
neriod of maternity is drawing to a close,
Ayers Pills, in moderate doses, merely
sufficient to ensure regular action of the
bowels, will be found of
EncaIcuIabIe Value.

voters Of the state to adopt town system
of schools could not be carried and no men,
Der OF the legislature will dare to vote for
such law II he regards the wishes of the
voters in the state. BY the old exploded
district school system, as you term it, every
district in the state is required to have at
least twenty weeks school in year, all
parents and guardians are required, under
penalties to send their children to those
schools. If unable to furnish textbooks for
their scholars the towns must do 1t. There
are safeguards thrown about these schools
to prevent incompetent teachers from get
ting employ in them What more can q
clown system do in this regard? From
the returns of the tenth census of the native
born white persons enumerated ten years
old and up 1851, there were 1884 persons
who cannot write, being two and four-tenths
per cent. This is much too large per cent,
I admit, and If the law we have is enforced
for the next ten years this will be lessened
materially, doubtless lessened as much az 1t
could be by town system. The voters IN
our rural districts have an idea that they
know about as well what they need for
schools in their particular locality as any
school commissioner from distant part Of
the town can, and they will be slow to
put themselves under guardianship in this
matter. And further, many of the districts
in parts of the town remote from business
centers are the best schools in our towns,
while the expense is not more than one-half
what it is in districts in the villages. This
may indicate their executive ability as finan-
ciers. There is tendency to cucumber the
school law with expensive machinery that
should be guarded against.
ITO complete our correspondents statistics
as to illiteracy, we will add that of the New
England states, while Vermont's percentage
of native white persons above ten years of
age who are unable to write is two and four
tenths per cent, Connecticut's percentage is
one per cent, Names one and nine-tenths,
Massachusetts, seven-tenths of one per cent,
New Hampshire's one and one-tenth per
cent, Rhode Islands two and nine-tenths
per cent.-EDTToR WATCHMAN.
