The proprietor Of this celebrated medi-
cine Justly claims for it superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER-
MANENT cure Of Ague and Fever, or Chills
and Fever, whether Of short or long stand
ing. He refers to the entire Western 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 direc-
lions are strictly followed and carried out
In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole fami-
lies 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, il its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially
in dificult and long-standing cases. Usu-
ally this medicine will not require any aid
to keep the bowels in good order. Should
the patient, however, require cathartio

knowing as they do, the loop-holes
that are left for their escape. 1t is
almost impossible to frame an in
dictmcnt Of any kind now, that a
shrewd lawyer cannot have set
aside, and postponed from one
Court to another thereby increas-
ing court expenses, &c., on some
tcchnicality.
Such laws are worse than no
laws, and the people should at
once claim from our Legislators
more attention on important sub
Ijects, and less on trivial matters.
IThe most ignorant have learned
THAT there is little danger Of the
rope for murder; and the intclli-
gent, in many instances, have no
compunction of conscience, or
dread Of law, when insultcd, as
they term it. If he has plenty of
money to employ able counsel, he
need not fear. Then why NOT make
the criminal laws iron-bOund, and
see that the right men are put in
the right place, to enforce them.

DEFECTIVE LAWS AND WHAT
THEY COST Us.

From the following figures, ia
ken from the County Commission
ers Report, published in the 'Un-
ion Timcs,' it would seem that the
Coroncr's office of that county is
the best paying Office in it, consid-
cring the time, labor, etc. For the
fiscal year 'S2-'S3, the first in
quest being held November 22nd,
1882, and the last one in said tis-
cal year, being held September 10,
1888, making, we believe, 8
months and IS days, there were II
inquests by the Coroner, and 3 by
Irial Justiccs--2O in footing
up to the county $258.95. Then
