FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE
PACIFIC.
Monday, May l'Rh 1 S6'. mark.- the ino-t
important, epoch in modern civilization.
The completion ol the Pacific Railroad b
the event of the age. It makes the crown
ing triumph of modern civilization and
science and begins a revolution in the com
merce of the world. Beside it the builaing
of the Appian way, the Pyramids, the Chi
cese wall or any other similar event in past
ages sinks into insignificance. No useless
labor, no vain ambition, no selfish exclusion
here. The promotion of human welfare and
the advancement of human civilization are
its chief aims. Its iron bands now bind
the East and the West and link ocean to
ocean. The future highway of the nation-,
here all the nationalities of earth shall meet
and mingle. Built and managed in the
interest of all mankind, across a continent
dedicated to civil and religious liberty, in
which the downtrodden and oppressed of
every clime may find a free and happy
home, its influence on the welfare of the
human race is beyond calculation. By it
the course of tlic world's commerce will bo
changed and the wealth that fbr cent uric -
has been poured into the commercial centrc
of the old world will find its way to the new
and New York, Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco will become the great marts of the
world. In these latter days the wildest
marvels of past ages have been so frequent
ly surpassed by the actual achievements cf
the present that we have almost ceased to
attempt forecasting the great results that
must of necessity follow such marvelou-'
achievements as this. America seems con
tinually to astound the world with hi r pro
digious performances. The laying of til-
Atlantic Cable though a most wonderful
feat, accomplished by the intelligence end
energy of one of our own citizen-: was soon
forgotten in the fearful din of the most ter
rific war ever recorded in history. In the
midst of a struggle in which all the world
declared the nation hope!e--!y U-t was in
augurated the most stupendous industrial
and commercial enterpri.-e ever dreamed of
in the vvorM g history, to la- carried to com
pletion in much less tune than flic ni'-t .-an
guine had hoped and that at the very mo
ment when all the world hut ourselves le
licved our whole nation irrevocably bank
rupted. Y\ hat shall come next to -turtle,
and surprise '? Of a certainty great, things
are in store for us a- a nation. Between
the crowded and overflowing nations of both
the eastern and western portions of the old
world, not only thiir wealth of gold and
commerce, but their ov-.-.flowing ; elation
will pour in upon u- beyond a 1 reviou
experience or expectation. Th inhabitant
of every land and clime will eti their lot
with us and t.'.t- 1 up their Aside (q ~m-rnidst.
rnidst. What v Ibe the r t t ( this rait,.
ling of all rrtions, all religious, all c!a-<e.-
and conditions of men, none can foretell,
hor three hundred years Europe has poured
upon our shores, men of every race, cla-s
and condition. To this <s.ntiuu,.% bicrtn .
ing stream tho distant ori. Nt hailing us
through the golden gate at th - west has al
ready begun to pour in upon u- an ever in
creasing tide of her strange children. Ver
ily the spectacle is -uch a one as the world
has never seen. Human wisdom may not
divine its results, but that they will he mar
vellous none pretend to doubt or deny.
Two thinge however seem eertain. First,
the English language will bec mc univer-al,
aud second, the English speaking race of our
own country will become the controlling
power of the world. Arc we prepared fbr
it. Truly a great destiny is before us. Are
we prepared for, or equal to its re -wm-ibii
ities?
A New Coitrt—Oar neighbors of Johns
town are quite jubilant over a new court,
which has been established in Johnstown
by an act of the legislature, to be called
rho District Court of Cambria County."
1 hs jurisdiction of the Court will embrace
the boroughs of Johnstown, Conemaugh.
Millville, Cambria. Prospect, Franklin and
hast C oncmaugh, and the townships of Yo
oc., Richland. Taylor and Conemaugh.
The Court will be presided over by Judge-
Taylor and the Associate Judges of the
county, the Court to be held on the Ist
Monday of July. October, January aod
April, and continue one week. In criminal
matters, the Court will have the same juris
diction as is now conferred on the Court of
Quarter Session of Cambria county, and
will have civil jurisdiction in all east s where
the plaintiff s demand does not cxcted two
hundred dollars.
Common Sense is so novel a thing in
the administration of public affairs that we
cannot but admire every exhibition of it by
our public servants. Secretary Bontwell
lias instructed the Assistant Treasurer in
cw \ ork to buj* a million of Government
bonds a week until further orders. There
is no better way to build up individual
credit than to buy up, or redeem one's
bonds before they are due, and there is no
better practical evidence of prosperity. Mr.
Bouiwell is just applying this same method
o. reasoning and practice to the public finan
ces. A few years or even m,,o<hs of such
management w,II undoubtedly tell gree tly to!
the advantage of the public Treasury.

\ GROSS OUTRAGE I'PON THE
PRESS.
Mr. F. A Conly, President of the North
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has pro
hibited the sale of the Philadelphia Inqui
rer on that road because the Inquirer has
had occasion to criticise the affairs of the
road in such a manner as to offend the
magnates of the company. This is only a
single specimen of the main* devices for
muzzling the Press whenever it daws to
criticise aDd rebuke the outrage-, per
petrated on the people by rich corporations
or pompous nabobs. Let all such attempts
at petty tyrranny be promptly and severely
rebuked by press and people. The freedom
of speech and of the press are the outposts
of our political liberties and are the first to
give the alarm when the rights of the people
are encroached upon and their liberties
threatened. It may be taken for granted,
in nine cases out of ten, when such parties
complain of or discriminate against the
press, that they have betrayed their trusts
j or violated the rights of the people and
their guilt ha- been exposed by that ever
vigilant guardian of the people's welfare,
the press. Let unqualified condemnation
meet all such efforts to discriminate against
and crush out every paper that boldly notifies
the people of the outrages perpetrated by
their servants and warns them of the dan
gets threatening their rights and privileges.
Let unscrupulous parties, whether -ingle
individuals or corporations, under, rand that
the people have rights and know them, and
knowing dare maintain them. Rai'road
tyrranny is becoming a bane to the whole
country which must be boldly met and with
* strong hand given to know its proper
place.
OI K DEBT.
Tiio statement of the public debt for May
Ist is of the most encouraging and grat
ifying character. The decrease of the pub
lie debt in April was nearly six and a half
trillions of dollars, and the reduction for
the current month is expected to be still
greater. The management of our finance
und r Secretary Boat well seems to give
general -atisfaction and promises to far
-urj as- in economy and efficiency any pre
vious i-ondnct of the Treasury Department.
He i- a faithful officer and a true represen
tative of the Republican policy of retrench
ment, rtforni and economy. It is a matter
fbr -ngratulation to the party that wchave
obtained for this most important post an
boocst and able officer, whose chief aim is
a- it should he to si rve his country faith
fully and promote her welfare and prosperity
to the b -t of his ability. In this Depart
ment at least Grant's administration has
made a most auspicious beginning. If the
Internal Revenue Department is conducted
with as much ability and economy, and it
promises to be, we will soon be on the high
road to an early payment of our national
indebtedness.
LET us have courage. The public DELT
has been decreased nearly $34u,000,00Q
during the last three years half—at the
rate of $50,000,000 annually. This is
go id. and certainly we are in all ways better
off th ai while we carried so heavy a load.
B -in ss is brightening up at home, out of
our immediate limits, and over the whole
country. The Pacific Railroad is done, the
Pacific steamships are running, and immi
gration is constantly increasing. Prices of
necessities are gradually falling, and there
is no good reason why courage should not
ru'c in every heart. Fifteen hundred and
on Thursday—immigrants, and a direct gain
to us — Sunday Morning Times.

even more gratifying exhibit.
Ct: v still continues to be one of the
chief excitements of the tin,,.-. Soncution
stories of shiploads of recruits and cargoes
of arms and ammunition having been shipped
from American ports for the revolutionists
are common. IIoW m his true and how
uiuch untrue it is dii.l-.-ult to determine.
The authorities arc exercising due vigilance
to prevent any violation of our neutrality
iaw ¥ but do not attempt to disguise the
fact that the public sentiment of our people
is decidedly favorable to tiro oppressed
Cubans and that nothing would more de
light us than, the accomplishment of Cuban
i J- i tidenc\ But of thi. of course,
S 'sin cannot complain as long as wc preserve
our neutrality.
THE Panne RAILROAD was completed
ot! Monday last the 10th in t. The Greatest
enterprise of the age is now an accomplished
fact and the iron horse runs from the At
lantic to the Pacific over an unbroken line
of iron ru-1. in less time than it onco took
to travel from Philadelphia to Pittsburg.
THE Connecticut Senate has ratified the
Fifteenth amendment to the United States
Constitution. The llousc will undoubt
ed!} loilow, and thus another Northern
State may be considered pledged to this
great vindication of human rights.
THE danger of difficulties arising out of
the coban rebellion and also the Alabama
claims difficulty with England has caused a
rise of several cents in gold in the past
week or two. It sold at $1,38 in New York
on Monday last.
THE Completion of the Pacific ilrilrcad
was celebrated in all parts of the country by
the ringing oi bells, tiring of cannon and
other evidences of rejoicing at the accom
plishment of this world renowned enterprise.
THE OLDEST EDITOR IN THE STATE—
The Potts v ill e Miners Journal of the first
inst. claims that its senior editor is the
oldf-t political editor iu tie state having
filled the editorial chair for forty years. The
Adams Sentinel contests the claim in the
following style.
Poltsville is quite a town, and the Miners'
Journal a capital paper; but we object to
Pottsville robbing Gettysburg of the hon
ors of seniority ir, editorial life, which of
right beloogs to our esteemed colleague,
Robert G. Harjter. The Miners' Journal
was established in J 824, and purchased by
its present editor in 1829, who has thus

Our colleague bas therefore been in con

Adams Sentinel— just 13 years longer than

OFFICE SEEKING EXTRAORDINARY.—
It is said that the first train to Washington
from the North, after the announcement of
the death cf Marshal Ely, carried four
hundred applicants for the vacant office.
We believe none of these eager aspirants
for office received the appointment, which
was but right aud proper. Some of them
may perhaps learn to wait for office to seek
them and it will be to their own and their
country's good.
OPPORTCX ELY, with the notes of preparation
for the grand opening of the Pacific Railway
on Monday, comes news of the progress made
by the East India Telegraph Company in
coupling Canton with Calcutta, London, and
New York. By the end of the year, as the
sanguine American conductors of the enter
prise give to be understood, the line will be
completed. San I-'ranciseo will then eend
her news for China East, and her ships West;
will transmit orders for teas and silks three
fourths of the way around the globe in a mo
ment. and will receive the shipments from an
opposite direction, in little over a fortnight.
We cannot but regard it a3 fortunate for this
country that the great enterprise of introdu
cing telegraphs to and through China should
be in American bands; and we augur rich
openings for the business enterprise of our
countrymen, in the path along which these
telegraph gentlemen have become the pio
neers. —Neir York Tribune.
The Pacific Railroad.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 7.
The people of this city and Sacramento
are in a state of feverish excitement in re
gard to the. completion of the Pacific railroad.
Preparations have been made in both places
fbr the observance of the event, which will
occur on Saturday.
The bankers of this city have given no
tice that their houses will be closed on that
day, aud business will be generally suspend
ed. Arrangements tiave been made by the
Western Union Telegraph Company, so that
the stroke i f the hammer ou the last spike
driven shall be repeated simultaneously in
New York and San Francisco by telegraph.
Besides the silver mounted and polished
California tie, a spike of gold, siiver spike,
an-J silver hammer, for use in the comple
tion. were forwarded to the end of the track.
The excursion train for the end of the
Central Pacific railroad, with the commis
sinners and Governor Stanford and guests,
was nearly wrecked yesterday by a large
tree which bad fallen across the track. The
obstruction was discovered in time to pre
serve the passenger cars uninjured, but the
locomotive was damaged and thrown off the
track.
The Hall & Norcross mining company
have declared a dividend of six dollars per
share, payable on the 10th inst.
COMPLETION OF THE WORK—THE I .AST .SPIKE
DRIVEN.
The woik of connecting the Central and
Union Pacific Railroad* was completed on
Monday noon.
Each stroke of the hummer, driving the
| last spike in the last rail, was reported by
telegraph to all parts of the country.
By this unique telegraphic feat all see
tions of the country were enabled to partici
pate.simultaneously in the celebration taking
place near Great Salt Like, in Utah.
In Philadelphia there was a general ring
ing of church and fire bells in reognition of
this great national event, between the houis
of 3 and 3' o'clock.

Engagements Between the Troops ami lu
svrgent —Meeting of the Wealthy Span
iuds—Dolce Complain* of the Want of
Money—Xegro Troops Showing Signs of
Insubordination—British Demands ou the
Authorities,
NEW YORK, May 7.—A special from
Havana, May 6, says a meeting of wealthy
Spaniards was he'd at the government pal
ace, at which the necessity of sending to
Spain, for more troops was suggested.
General Dulce complained of the want of
n *'lWsirrrcvtloTrarv unmnmrairan
made in the Yuelta Abajo region. The mo
bilized negro troops at Nnevitas show signs
of insubordination.
Dates from Jamaica to the Ist inst., have
been received. Commodore I'hillimore will
demand the release of vessels captured in
British waters, the liberation of their crews,
and explanation and indemnity from the
Spanish authorities at Havana.
He will also require an explanation of the
circumstances connected with the landing of
Spaniards on British territory. 11 the
reply to these demands is unsatisfactory he
will make reprisals.
HA-, ANA, May 7.— The journals of to-day
published accounts of several engagements
between the troops uodc-r Count Valmaseda
and the Cuban force. The Spaniards claim
a victory. Captain General Dulce, accom
panied by a battalion of volunteers, visits
Matanzas on Sunday.
The flagship Ccntocock sailed to-day.
The Telegraph in China.
Governor Curtin, president of the East
India Telegraph company, and A. C. M
Clurc. solicitor of the corporation, had an
interview with the Secretaries of State and
the Navy to day in relation to the introduc
tion of the telegraph into China. The com
pany have a grant procured by Mr. Bur
iingame when he was American minister in
China, authorizing them to lay a cable be
tween S.intor and Shanghai, connecting the
commercial cities of the Asiastic coast by
telegraph. They have five hundred miles
of cable ready to ship and lay down, and
will heave the remaining five hundred miles
ready to ship during the summer. Orders
will be issued to the commander oi the
Asiatic squadron to render all necessary
aid and protection. The State department
will instruct our minister and consuls to
give their official aid to the enterprise.
'1 his line will be completed during the
present year, and by that time there will be
a continuous line from the Mediterrcan by
India to China, thus connecting the com
mercial cities of the Asiatic coast with Eu
rope ans America.
Severe Hail Storm.
CHICAGO, May 7.—A letter from Anna,
lotion county, 111., says that place was
visited by a fearful hail storm. The hail
stones measured from one to two and a half
inches in diameter, and not a few as large as
a man's fist. The ground was covered in
,-ome places two feet deep. The fruit crop
has been almost entirely destroyed. Straw
berries were just beginning to ripen, with
excellent prospects, but now there will not
le half a crop. Nearly all the peaches are
knocked off. llow far the storm extended
is not known.
A Prominent Republican Murdered.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 8. —Information has
been received here that Radford 0. Rhodes,
a prominent Republican of Warren county,
was killed at his residence, near Warren
ton. on Wednesday night. The last letters
Iront that vicinity report continued outrages
by prowling bands of Ku-Kiux on both
white and black Republicans. To be an
avowed Republican iu that county is a pass
port to death or violent outrage.
CUBAN ANNEXATION.—The Associated
Press dispatch relating to the Republican
Congress of Cuba declaring for annexation,
is discredited in Washington. It is known
that there is a strong party among the Pa
triots for independence, and that, by gen
eral con-ent, the idea of annexation has
not been considered an open question.
Cuban agents have universally affirmed
t hat t Ire object of the revolution Was to ef
fect their separation from Spain, leaving
the annexation project to settle itself when
the island was free. I here has been no
concealment of the belief that Cuban in
dependence won, annexation to the United
States would follow, solicited by the free
votes of the Cubans themselves. The
great effort of the Patriot leaders has been
to prevent the agitation of the subject
Quesada, reported elected General-in-Chief
is an avowed annexationist, after indepen
dence has been secured. Cespedes has
been placed at the head of the Republican
is OV T' Advices received byway of
Florida, indicate the safe arrival within
the 1 atnot lines of a vessel from New York
loaded with arms and munitions. It is sun
posed to be the Grapcthot.
A Tornado and Waterspout on the Ohio
River.
The Louisville Courier gives an account
of a destructive hurricane that swept across
Kentucky above WicklifTa landing, thirty
fire miles up the river, on Wednesday af
ternoon. W bile the Leonora was moored
attho landing, about 4.30 o'clock, tbo pilot
on duty saw two immense clouds come to
gether a short distance off. Ln a lew miu
utes a terrific hurricane, rendered still more
awful by deafening thunder and blinding
lightning, rushed with indescribable fury
across the river, just above the landing.
Immediately on reaching the stream the
fierce tornado lifted a great body of the
water and hurled it along over the bank,
deluging the viciuity and exciting the ut
most terror among the people.
The path of the hurricane was about one
hundred yards in width. Throughout this
track for miles on both sides of the river
devastation was complete. Houses, trees,
fences, ,te.. were uptorn and Mattered like
straws in all directions. The air was dense
ly filled with huge limbs of trees and other
fragments, and the whole region of the storm
was in a state of chaos. In the general
destruction the dwelling of a Mr. Goeshler
was blown down, and that of David Hogan,
was completely razed. In the latter house
were four or five persons, all of whom were
more or less injured. Sid. Lee's barn and
a new building near by were unroofed. A
lookout station at the landing was blown
entirely away.
Although the liconora lay some distance
below the line of the main hurricane, all of
her skylights were shattered, and the glass
hurled into the cabin, creating a wild panic
among the passengers. If the boat had
been within range of the squall she would
have gone up the spout teetotally. The
most skillful pilot could not have saved her.
This terrible blast was followed by rain that
fell in torrents and flooded the whole region
around. It is difficult to estimate the ex
tent. of the injury suffered by the victims of
this storm, but it is certainly veiy great.
THE SOUTH. —A careful newspaper says'
it is found by accurate investigation into the
amount of last year's crops and their selling
prices, th3t the South "retains about $200,-
000,000 gold front them."
This leads us to temark that during a few
months past we have been somewhat aston
ished to note the evidence of prosperity in
the Southern States which are constantly
looming up. Fortunately the Southern peo
ple have had no credit, they have thus kept
out of debt and gone to work, and the re
sult is that they now have plenty of money,
and their waste places are being once more
made productive. The war could not de
stroy the Southern soil of climate, and im
migration is supplying the plaees of those
who fell by disease or battle.
COLONEL FORNEY is quite enraptured
with North Carolina as a State to raise vege
tables and fruit in. In the neighborhood of
Wilmington, he says that from a soil here
to-fore neglected small fortunes have been
gathered by a single crop of radishes, which
sell as high as fifteen dollars a barrel at
New York and Philadelphia, and are sent
fbiward at the rates by the railroad compa
nies. Strawberries, tomatoes, asparagus,
peas and potatoes are now generally cultiva
ted, and the rich are turning their estates,
for the first time, to practical uee. We
quote the following from his correspondence
with the Press:
"The owner of a fire acre patch raised
and sent to market 150 barrels of radishes
at fifteen dollars a barrel, and seventy-fivo
barrels of beefs at thirty dollars a barrel:
and this was his first trial. Twelve thou
sand barrels of peas and an almost equal
amount of early potatoes have already been
sent forward this season.
"The grape culture has been commenced
on a stupendous icale. At the Hayne farm,
some nine or ten miles from Wilmington,
two hundred and fifty acres are planted with
the Mish and Catawba and other accepted
varieties, and these exclusive of pcaeh trees
and the preparation for a large planting of
dwarf pears, which ripen in the fall. In
deed, this whole country, from Goldsboro
to Weldon, and from Goldsboro to Wil
mington, is not only adapted to cotton,
which is here profitably cultivated, but
more to the fruits and vegetables I have
named. The yellow pine forests are mag
road companies for fuel, and by the increas
ing manufacture of turpentine, tar. and
rosin, the cleared land becomes immediately
available fir more profitable purposes."
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.— There arrived
at Netv York, on Monday, 4,440 immigrants
from Europe. Immigration this year is
ahead of any previous instance. Large
numbers come from Germany, and from
Ireland the report is that this promises to
be the most active year yet known. The
regular steamers are all overcrowded, and
hundreds arc left behind, camping about in
the railway stations and elsewhere, to Ire
taken up by the next vessel. Two thous
and arrived at Quccnstown on the 17th of
April, of which number but one-half were
shipped. The counties of Keri v, Tippera
ry. Limerick and Waterford, report of the
people who arc about leaving, that they are
all young and healthy, of the farming and
laboring classes, and many of them coming
nut to join relatives and friends in America.
We welcome the substantial wealth, in la
boring industry, of which England is but too
willing to get rid. As things are proceeding,
it cannot be long before Ireland will be
wholly in the I nited States—the free nation
at last which it would he, though on a
strange but hospitable soil.
IN regard to the profits of fruit growing
the Norfolk Day Book makes the following
interesting statement: We are informed
that those skillful and experienced fruit
growers, Messrs. Franklin Davis A Co. pur
chased, in 1867, a farm on the Brook turn
pike, near Richmond, for which they paid
twenty-three thousand dollar., ami hare
cleared from it by the sale of fruit and
strawberries raised upon it, $35,000 ; that
they have leased of 31 r. I'etcr La WSOII twen
ty-eight acres of land lying upon the same
road ; for which they pay SBOO per anuum,
and paid him besides sl2 per acre for the
growing of wheat upon ir, which they have
plowed in; that they sold last year from a
farm in Nansemond county a crop of straw
berries for SIO,OOO, which oos.t them $3 -
350.
On DEN.— Of this new town on the Pa
cific Railroad, the point of junction of the
two roads, a correspondent of the St. Louis
nepublican writes :—"Ogden is about to
become the commercial city of the Rocky
Mountains. The greatest activity now
prevails at the point. When I left work
men were busy putting up a sidling or
switch, and the work of transferring good
materials, tools, boxes, bundels, bales, bar
rels, Ac., was going on as though the poo
pic were making preparations for an earth
quake. Restaurant keepers, peddlers, tra
ders, gamblers, loafers, rowdies, ''dead
beats, merchants, mechanics, blacksmiths,
carpenters, seemed to be running a race to
see which could get away from the switch at
Taylor s mill the quickest.
LIABILITY OK RAILROAD COMPANIES.—
A case of much importance to the public,
and particularly to railroad companies, was
determined before Judge Taylor, in the
Common Pleas of Huntingdon county, last
week. In Aprii, 1868, a warehouse took
fire from the sparks of a locomotive at Mill
Creek, which was consumed, setting fire to
an adjoining hotel, which, with most of its
contents, was also destroyed. Suits were
brought by all the parties injured, but all
were amicably compromised, except that of
- 'J*: Kerr, the occupant of the hotel, on
which the parties went to trial, and after a
contest of three days the jury awarded sl,-
960.
LAIE advices from Louisiana give a
cheerful account of the sugar crop. The
wet weather has not seriously injured it,
and a larger area than usual has been plant
ed. As an illustration of the profits of su
gar raising, we see it stated that a single
plantation in St. Landry, consisting of nine
ty acres in cane and eighty in corn returned
a net profit of twenty-fivo thousand six
hundred and fifty dollars.
A COLD climate seems to be favorable to
long life. According to a Russian journal,
fhe deaths during IBGB at Irkootsk, Siberia,
included six persons over 110 years of a ;e.
Two had reached their 136 th year, and one
died at the age of 131. Three others were
more than a ccutury old.
BARON ROTHSCHILD'S estate, which has
just been settled up, amounted to 340,-

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is eo universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally adopted into use,
in every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative Bill. The obvious
reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Tho-e whoh&ve
used it, know that it cured them: those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
an l all know tbat what it does once it does al
ways- -that it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to all aces and con
ditions in all climates: containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
safety hj anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to
; health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
! uch derangements as ar the first origin of die
-1 sase.
Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For or Indigestion, Listless ness, Lan
guor and Loin of Appetite, they should be taken
moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore
its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symptom?,
Billons Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Bilious Colic and Biliou* Fever*,
they should be judiciously taken for each case, to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cause it
For Dysentery or Dinrrhit , but one inild dose
is generally required.
For Rhtxr.aatinm, (iout, Grand, Palpitation of
the Hearty Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins , they
should be continuously taken, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
"" ' * B imm *1 .
* or Dr&pey and DropsicalStcellinys they should
be taken in large and frequent doses to produce
the effct of a drastic purge.
For Suppression* a large dose should betaken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digeation and relieve the stomach.
• An occasional d- se stimulates the stomach and
i bowels into healthy action, re-tores the appetite,
i and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
j vantageous where n serious derangement exists.
; One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
I dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet
j ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
j the digestive apparatus.
