PILL
FOR CONSTIPATION,
SLUGGISH LIVER, ETC.

SLuuUISH LIVER, Ell,
TTNLIKE many kinds of cathartic
~ medicines, do not make you
feel worse before you feel better.
Their operation is gentle, but thor
ough, and unattended with disagree
able effects, such as nausea, gripping
pains, &c. 'ta
Seigel's Operating Pills
are the best family physic that has
ever been discovered. They cleanse
the bowels from all irritating sub
stances, and leave them in healthy
condition.
The best remedy extant for the
bane of our DEMONSTRATION and
sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all
poisonous matter from the bowels.
They operate briskly, yet mildly
without any pain.
If you take severe cold, and are
threatened with a fever, with pains
in the head, back and limbs, one or
two doses of Seigel's Operat-
ing Pills will break up the cold
and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter
in the stomach. A few doses of
Seigels Operating Pills will
cleanse the stomach, remove the bad
taste, and restore the appetite, and
with it bring good health.
Oftentimes diseased, or partially
decayed food, causes sickness,
nausea and diarrhea. If the bowels
are cleansed from this impurity with
dose of SeigePs Operating
Pills, these disagreeable effects
will vanish, and good health will
result.
Seigle's Operating Pills
prevent ill-effects from excess in
eating or drinking. A good dose at
bedtime renders a person fit for
business in the morning.
These Pills, being Sugar-coated,
are pleasant to take. The disagree
able taste common to most pills is
obviated.

SOME DANDY COLTS.
The Harrison Colt Show at Aux
vase Saturday Afternoon
Grand Success.

4 great gathering of the best
farmers and stockmen Of Audrain
and Galloway counties attended the
colt show given by T. s. & J. Har~
rison at Auxvasse Saturday after
noon. All who were present felt
themselves more than paid for
their trouble in coming to the ex-
hibition, which, without question,
was the finest of the kind ever at
tempted in the West.
About forty of the handsomest
| colts ever shown were on the
ground. In the Montrose horse
| colt show there were eleven en-
tries. C. G. Nicholson, of Nc
Credie, captured the first prize,
and Charles Geuley, of Auxvasse,
the second.
In the Montrose mare colt con-
test there were nine entries. Joe
Mcdonald, OF this county, got the
first premium, with Henry Hen
derson, of Concord, second.
In the Rex Denmark horse colt
show there were six entries. Joe
Boyd, OF Audrain, was first; Powell
Arnold, Galloway, second.
In the Rex Denmark mare colt
show, out of ten entries, Sam Wat
son, OF Audrain, got first money,
with U. F. Harrison, of Galloway
second.
This display of colts by itself
was sufficient evidence that the
Harrisons have done and are doing
wonders for the live stock interests
of this section. They are proving
that it is as cheap to raise a good
animal as poor one and precious
few of the latter are now to be
found in Audrain and Galloway
counties. A representative Of the
LEDGER who was on the ground is
under many obligations to the
| Messrs. Harrison and others fol
kindnesses shown. twenty-five o

springing up in every direction
and a general air of hustle is visi
BILE on every hand. A new brick
