strong, living in Christiana hundred, Del.

while blood flowed from an ngly wound in
his forehead. The terrified woman ran

MH. EpITUE:-I woald like to call the
attention of the Cecil county officers to a
place on the North East road, about
miles south Of Marley paper mill and
near the new Z. & o. railroad, that has
become quite nuisance, particularly on
the Sabbath day, by disordcrly conduct.

ncighborhood. IL is actually dangerous
for respectable people to drive along the

this place much under the influence of
STRONG drink. Would it not be well foG
some oi our officers to ferret ont the

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA i'll many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
dartng pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

odious to him after the novelty wears off;
an incorrigible sloven, he can not under
