tiniou Pacific Railroad Progress.
The new heading to the advertisement
of the Treasurer of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company tells the story of the
continued progress of that work. One
thousand and twenty-six miles finished
and the cars now running iuto Salt Lake
Valley ! The mountain chains and the
wild canons which interpose between the
Plains and the great interior basin have
been surmounted and passed, and• the
whistle of the locomotive may he heard
almost at the gates of the Mormon capital.
Twohundred miles more (in three months'
time) and the continent wilt be spanned
by the iron rail.
The speedy completion cif the whole
line calls renewed attention to the popular
ieenrities of the constructing Company.
The Fist Mortgage Bonds of the Union
Pacitie Railroad Company have been sold
to the amount of twenty millions. With
the completion of the road, the issue of
these hands must stop. and their value to
holders will naturally and steadily advance
from that time. The late decision of the
United States Supreme Court, that both
coin and currency arc a legal tender, and
that all contracts fur the payments of coin
an•e valid and may be enforced by law,
places the legal liability of the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company to pay the inter
est and principal of its first mortgage
bonds beyond question. What some of
the courts have heretofore held was a
matter of honor has now become au obli
gation,and must enhance the market value
of these securities. The present high
price of governments offers a favorable op
portunity for holders to sell and re-invest
in Union Pacifies at a profit of $lOO to
$l4O on each bond, and obtain a. security
equally as safe and really more valuable,
on account of the longer period before
maturity.
The New A dininistration.
Thursday was, we all hope, the opening
of a new era in our political history. With
.Lincoln we. had four years ,5f war. With
Johnson we have had four years of wrang
ling. Nay we not hope that the advent
of Grant will bring us four years of peace?
Although be has been marvelously reti
cent, General Grant has let drop en3ugh
to induce us to believe that he is firmly
bent on carrying out the principles, of
which his elsetion was the popular ex
pression. Reconstruction in its best sense
is to be completed, the South at once pa
cified and conciliated ; equal rights se
cured anti enftireed throughout the entire
country ; a sweeping reform iu the ad
ministration of the Government—in the
,army, the navy, and the civil service—
inaugurated, provided `the Senate don't
2.tand stubbornly in the way by refusing
to repeal the Tenure Act; and economy,
tetrenchment, collection of the revenues,
and honest payment of the public debt he
made the chief aims of the Executive.
If this programme be followed by the
determined soldier who has never yet de
serted the line on which he has once deci
ded to advahee, a new era is indeed about
to dawn on our country; an era of renewed
harmony and unexampled prosperity.
God grant it" is the prayer of forty mil
lion souls this day.
Resumption of, Business Activity.
Business is gradually assuming a more
cheerful aspect, and we hope that with
the opsning spring the usual activity will
prevail. We have had a long season of
dullness, and there does not now appear
to be any good reason why this• dull sea
son should not speedily close and "business
once more resume its healthful tone. The
people are ready and anxious for it.
Business men should therefore avail them
selves of this encouraging • feeling and do
their part. It is scarcely necessary to
say that an important preliminary step is
advertising. Let the people know where
you are and what you have to sell. Do
this persistently, and the result will as
tonish you. There is, after all, nothing
like keeping a man's business prominently
before the people. The merchant or
manufacturer who does this, and does it
judiciously, rarely fails of success. With
a view to aiding this movement fur the
restoration of busy times, we ask the at
tention of all who have wares to dispose
of to the advantages offered by the adver
tising columns of- the Sr v. With an al
ready large and constantly increasing eh:
culation, they furnish a most desirable I
medium for communicating with the people
generally. I
)In. lirmunt M. COLEY, an officer of
the Freedmen's Bureau, has compiled an
instructive table of the voting population
of Arkansas, from which we learn that the
whole number of registered voters (exclu
ding three counties front which the rc•
turns are not accessible) is 63,974, of
whom 44,332 are white, and only 19,142
colored; and of the white voters 13,365,
or 30 per cent. Jo not know how to write.
lu some counties half the white voters are
entirely uneducated. Tho illitetate.votes
in Polk county, for instance (Where there
is only one black voter). are 50 per cent.
of the whole; in Searcy county (no black
voters), 53 per cent ; in Van Kure n county
(nine black voters), 48 per cent; in New
ton county (no black voters), 44 per cent;
and so on. Good Democrats Ivho are
terrified at the idea of allowing uneduca
ted colored men to vote, may study the
ease of the uneducated white men of Ar
kansas with profit.
IT is not a. good sign for
- the Pacific
Railroad that, spite of our remarkable
open winter, the snows on the Mountains
.have completely blocked it. up for over
half of the present Month. There has not
been asingle train through since the I:th.
" The experience of this winter will be sure
to give an iMpetua to the Southern routes,
and, when the.Dovernment can afford it,
they, will iens'p' 'receive 'assistance in
some way. - •
The Public Good.
We are inclined to the opinion that the
majority of men have no•thought for any
one else's advancement but their own.
They live for self, act for self and labor
for self.• They care not ; if the feelings
of others are sacrificed, so they gain the
goal of their ambition. This is certainly
a wrong principle by which to square one's
life. We should 01 endeavor to bear in
mind that mutual dependence is a princi
ple which we cannot shirk, and which in
a great measure determines our happiness
and success in this life. It is certainly
strange that we all lose sight of that
which is best calculated to advance our
interests, and place us in a position in so
ciety where we can be useful and labor
successfully for the good of all—or, in
other words, for the public good. Self
interest is one of the greatest evils of the
time, and is ruining more, in one sense of
the word, than rum. A drunkard is al
ways generous, too generous for his own
good, and in the proportion that a drunk
ard is too generous for his own good, is
the selfish man, or the man that has no
time to think of any one hut himself, un
generous, unkind and unsocial.
We long for the time to come when
self-interest and all that pertains to it,
shall be banished, and the spirit of benev
olence and charity be practised to the ex
tent that shall ensure the greatest amour
of good to all who act a part in the gran
theatre of life.
.Editor
The demand fur aid is heard on every
hand, and the public good can best be
satisfied by meeting every demand made
for aid promptly and without stint. We
cannot carry this world's riches with us
when oar race here is run, hence let us
all labor to do good, using what means we
have to accomplish this end, and our word
fur it we will all feel more happy here,
and enjoy a richer reward hereafter.
The public good! how grand the scale
In which our lives are weighed,
When we can gain _some mighty end,
And by success be paid.
Tim public good! the public good!
Oh, how I love the soul!
Forgetting self—that looks ',eyelid
To future's coming goal.
The future good: ages unborn
Will leap the fruits of now,
When farms that mighty structure raise
Before the white throne bow.
'the public good ! the power divine
That teaches birds to sing•,
Will surely to the generous soul
golden hurvetw bring.
The public good! oh. lasting joy,
That Um, cannot efface,
'When we improvement's march can bear,
Its works of progress trace.
Women of Other Days.
The women of the present day, who ap
pear so conspicuously before the public as
teachers and speakers, are not, as one
writes us, alone for our day and country.
In the early days of Christ there were
prominent women teachers, though then
as now the cases were rather exceptional
than common, and probably they always
will be. Sometimes the scarce office, as
With Miriam, Deborah and Iluldah (all
married women by the way)—the latter a
chief among theologians and the leader of
the prophetic school in Jerusalem. These
preaching women then, however, served
without pay or reward, dressed with great
simplicity, and generally behaved with
great modesty. They were also for the
most part as unselfish as the women disci
ples who accompanied the Saviour and
ministered to him from their substance,
as with Mary called Magdlena, Joanna,
the wife of Chusa, Susanna, and many
others. There were smart women," as
the words were from the days of .Tael who
first welcomed vises to her tent, then
gave him milk to drink, and then smote
him with a nail in his temple when asleep,
as at the present time, and oar friend need
not conclude that, because a score of
women are noisy and revolutionary, that
the world will, in cotiserprenee, at once
be turned upside down.
WE liod the following paragraph in the
Lancaster blguirer, of Saturday last :
A correspondent of the Bcpress suggests
the propriety of appointing a Jury Instruct
or for Lancaster county, in order that the
ignorant and Benighted jurymen may be
properly enlightened and instructed 'in
their duties.
Should this project be carried into execu

suggest the names of two distinguished per
sons for that important position—the editor-
In-chief of the above-named journal, and
the side-door-editor of the Columbia SPY.

they will need no Instructor but had bet

Fifty Per Cent. Dividend Declared
January 15t,1860, by "The Amer
ican" EAT° Insurance Company of
Philadelphia.
What does this signify to those insured
and those about to be insured in "The
American Life"?
1. It shows the prosperity of the Compa
ny. -Notwithstanding the general impres
sion felt in all business during the pest
year, the business of this Company not only
suffered no diminution, but was even ex
tended beyond the limits of any previous
year.
It shows that the Company does a
safe business. The reckless accumulation
of a large number of new risks signifies
nothing to the strength of a company or the
security of its policy-holders. Only a com
pany that exercises the most rigid scrutiny
3n accepting risks can declare such divi
dends as the "American" has for so many
consecutive years.
3. It shows that the affairs of the Com
pany, are well managed. Only the most
skillful handling of the funds entrusted to
them could enable the Trustees to declare
so large a dividend, and this is, after ell; the
very best security that can be given to the
insured.
4. It shows that the'Company have placed
just one-half of the annual premium to
the credit of mutual policy-holders, which
may be used, in the payment of future pre
miums.
5. It shows that Philadelphians and
Pennsylvanians need . not go outside of
their own City and State to Mid all that is
desirable in any Life Insurance Company,
and to secure all possible benefits of being'
insured. • •
Why didn't you go into - the "American"
last year f See to it that you go in this year
for their next dividend.

The Enaugurntion of General
MEM
The Inauguration of General Grant which
took place on Thursday, the 4th of March,
1569, was perhaps the most imposing ever
witnessed. The housetops, trees and every
available spot along Pennsylvania avenue
were packed with people. .
The streets were with the greatest difd
culty kept clear by the police, and every
where Grant was greeted with cheers.
The scene cannot well be described. The
windows of every house along the route
were' filled with ladies, who waved hand
kerchiefs and flags. To all these manifesta
tions of good 'will General Grant rose and
bowed on each side as the carriage moved
along.
The marching of the various military
bodies was very line.
On the arrival of the head of the proces
sion at the Capitol, General Grant and Mr.
Colfax were conducted to the rooms assigu
ed them arnla loud cheers from the lin
mense crowd.
A few minutes after General Grant, had.
disappeared from the chamber, immense
cheers from without, announced his appear
ance, and almost immediately the thunder
of cannon, shaking the solid marble of the
whole Capitol, 'announced that he had com
menced delivering his Inaugural. After
moving on to ;the platform and getting
arranged, Grant stepped forward and com
menced the delivery of his Inaugural. At
this moment the hells throughout the city
commenced ringing, while the voice of
Grant was prevented from being heard by
the assembly by the constant roar of artil
lery stationed near the Capitol.
The reading of the inaugural OVVII pied
about 15 minutes, and its sentiments were
fregyentlY applauded by the Senators,
members and others who were fortunate
enough to get on the platfo:m.

measures which I oppose. But all laws
will be faithfully executed whether they
meet my approval or not. I shall on all
subjects have a policy to recommend, but
none to enforce against the will of the peo
ple. Laws are to govern all alike, those
opposed to as well as those who favor them.
I know no method to secure the repeal of
bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their
stringent execution. The country having
jest emergedfrom a great rebellion, many
questions will come before it for settlement
in-the next four years which preceding ad
ministrations have never had to deal with.
In meeting these it is desirable that they
should be approached calmly, without pre
judice, hate, or LieCtiOnta pride, remember
ing that the greatest good to the greatest
number is the objects to be attained. ihi '3
requires security of person and property
•and for religious and political opinion in
every part of our common country, without
regard to local prejudice, and all laws to
secure these ends will receive my best ef
forts for enforcement. A great debt has
been contracted in securing to us and oar
posterity the Union. The payment of this,
principal and interest, as well as the return
to a specie basis as soon as it con be accom
plished without material detriment to the
debtor class or the country at large, must
be provided for.
To protect the national honor, every dol
lar of government indebtedness should be
paid in gold, unless otherwise expressly
stipulated iii the contract. Let it be under
stood that no repudiator of one farthing of
our public debt will be trusted in public
'place, and it will go far towards strength
ening a credit which ought to be the best in
the world, and will ultimately enable us to
replace the debt with bonds bearing less
interest Unto we now pity. To this would
he kdded.a faithful collection of the reve
nue ; a strict aocounlability to the Treashry
for every dollar collected, and the greatest
practicable retrenchment in the expendi
tore in every department of the govern
ment. When we coarem p the paying capa
city of the country now with the ten States
still in poverty from the effects of war (lint
soon to emerge, I trust, into greater pros
perity than ever before), with its paying
capacity twenty-live years ago, and calcu
late what it probably will he twenty-live
years hence, who can doubt the feasibility
of paying every dollar we now pay for use
less luxuries? Wiry, it looks as though
Providence had bestowed upon us a strong
box, the precious metal locked up in the
sterile mountains of the far West, which we
are now forging the keys to unlock, to meet
the very contingency that is now upon us.
Ultimately, it may be necessary to increase
the flicllities to reach these riches, and it
may be necessary also that the general gov
ernment should give its aid to secure this
access, but that should only be when a dol
lar of obligation to pay secures precisely
the saute sort of dollar to use now, and not.
before. Whilst the question of specie pay
ment is in abeyance the prudent• business
man is carol at about contracting debts pay
able in the distant future. The nation
should follow the same rule. A prostrate
commerce is to be rebuilt and all indus
tries encouraged. , The young men of the
c'euntry,:those who front their age must he
its rulers twenty-five years hence, have a
peculiar interest in maintaining die Dation
al-honor. A moment's reflection aisle what
will be our commanding influence among
the nations of the earth in their day if they
are only true to themselves, should inspire
them with national pride. All divisions,
geographical, political and religious, can
join iu this common sentiment. llow the
public debt is to be paid or specie payment
resumed is not so important as that a plan
should be adopted and acquiesced in. A
united determination to do is worth more
than divided councils upon the method of
doing. Legislation upon this subject may
not be necessary now, nor even advisable,
but it will be when the civil laws tire more
fully restored in all parts of the country,
and trade resumes its wonted channels. It
will be my endeavor to execute the laws
in good faith, to collect the revenues asses
sed, and to have them properly accounted
for and ecenotn Malty disbursed.. I will, to
the best of my ability, appoint to office
those only who will carry out this design.
In regard to foreign policy I would deal
with nations as equitable law requires indi
viduals to deal with cacti other, and I would
protect the law-abiding citizen, whether of
native or foreign birth, wherever his rights
are jeopardized, br the flag of our country
floats. I would respect the rights of all
nations, demanding equal respect for our
own. If others depart from this rule in
their deidings with us, we :any be compel
ted•to -follow their precedent.
The. proper treatment of 'the original men
paniot this laud, the Indian, is one descry
tug of careful study. I will favor any course
towards them which tends to their eiviliz.a

• The question of suffrage is one which is

tain the hope and express the desire, that it
muy be by the ratification of the lath article

. Iu conclusion, 1 ask patient liirbearance,

Presents to General Grunt.
General Grant received by Adams ex
press, Tuesday, a broom, which was pre
sented by an enterprising manufacturer of
that article anxious for an advertisement.
The giver requested that the General should
use it for sweeping out the Augean stable.
This article stands beside time General's
desk in his office, and acts as a significant
reminder to visitors who arc now enjoying
government offices. A gold headed cane,
the wood of which was cut from the battle
field of Shiloh, was presented to General
Grant this morning by a lady from that
section of the country. The presentation
was made with a complimentary little ad
dress by a gentleman who accompanied the
lady, and who made some allusion to its
proving 11 support iu the hour of need. In
replying General Grant said, smilingly,
after expressing his thanks for so accepta
ble a present, that he hoped the time was
far distant when he would have to lean
upon the cane for support.
A magnificent copy of the Bible has been
manufactured in New York, under the
auspices of Rev. W. J. It. Taylor, Secretary
of the American Bible Society, which is to
be presented in a few days to General
Grant. The Bible is said to be one of the
finest specimens of bookmaking ever ex
hibited in this country. The movement
was set on foot some time ago by George
H. Stewart and others, and it is understood
that a committee,composed of distinguished.
clergymen and laymen, will be in Wash
ington to make the formal presentation.
Letter from S. J. Beebee.
Os BoAra) STEAM SHIP ALASICA,
February lGtb, ISGD.
FRIENDAinnoi—Wa are now one day's
sail from Aspinwall, and having promised
when we parted on Monday night, iu
Broadway, to write you from there, I will
commence now, while on this ship, or else,
with the hurry and trouble of crossing the
Isthmus, and going on board the "Golden
City" at Panama ibr San Francisco, I fear
you would be entirely forgotten.
1 was looking for you on the pier the tiny
we sailed, but the crowd was so great I gave
it up, and contented myself listening to the
sad parting words of others—some of these
were very affecting, especially with ;Nissen
gets bound for China. husbands and
wives, brothers and sisters were parting,
and seemed to pay no attention to the oft
repeated cry of "all ashore ;" but with
faces tilled with sadness, would hold each
either by the hand, as though determined
not to be separated until the lest minute.
However, the loosening of lines, and the
preparations for lowering the gang plank,
admonished* them that th 3 painful farewell
must be taken. As for myself having none
of this to contend with, looking backwark
from the stern, watching , the ships wake in
the water, and the city disappearing, I had
DO other feeling then that of pleasure, and
am sure that nothing reasonable would in
duce mete live in :Sew York city.
_ -
Our pilot left us about three o'clock P.
M., and the huge engine was started, not
to be stopped for eight days. It has done
its duty well, thus far nothing has happen
ed to either ship or engine, and we have
made the following miles per day : Feb. 10th
2:35; Feb. 11th, 254; Feb. 12th, 255; Feb.
11th, 2.i4; Feb. 14th, 241; Feb. 11th, `1 1 13;
Feb: 16th, 262. Distance from Aspinwall
210 miles.-
The following notice appeared ou the
bulletin board, directly after leaving :New
York. Alarms of fire will be given for the
purpose of exorcising the crew. This notice
is given to prevent any unnecessary alarm
among passengers. The ship has the best
means tin• extinguishing^ tires, of any
steamer altos t, and can bring to bear on
lire occurring, almost immediately twelve
streams of water, any one of which is as
large as a first clans steam lire engine
throws.
We have on board the Japanese Troup on
their return to Japan ; also, one prize light
ing gent. and several sports, who make the
round trip to China lbr the sake of the game,
and judging by the huge chains and large
clusters they wear, I should say business
was flourishing.
Some Virginians and Georgians emigrat
ing to California, were relieved of their
cash on the morning of the ship's sailing,
by "sharpers" who sold them through
tickets, and bought their gold. The trans
action they told 1110 took place on the ferry
bout of the Camden and Amboy Railroad
Company. (One of them, you may tell ltd.
DI once, was front Loudon county, Vat., and
lived in the brick house on the Little River
turnpike, where we buried Little and
rrenchey after the fight with Mosby),
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company_
to which this vessel belongs, is, and has
been, one of the hugest old frauds ever al
lowed to exist in any age or country. You
first purchase what they term a through
ticket, which in reality is nothing more
than a permit to go on board, then you just
commence to pay. In rata, by "stamping"
them (that's the term used by the employ
ees) you will make out; there is nothing
that you can rail to obtain from them for
stumps. The Captain's barber would steal
the head otr him for a consideration, it
comes natural, they learn from their toas
ters, receiving little or no pay, they must
make it up.
Thjs is my third trip hy their line, and
things are done now just us they were
twenty years ago. Ono thing they have
which is a multitude or itself, that is a good
ship. Let no 'one, however, contemplating
a California trip, come this way—better pay
to end of the Union Pacific Railroad, and
walk the balance, than submit to anything
this Company can offer.
I will write you again front White Pine,
if not front San Francisco. There are
several White Pine men on board, and their
conversation gives me great enconiage
men t Yours truly, S. J. B.
—Died of a broken heart—in consequence of
his failures to please the public—the Clerk
of the Weather.
—Evidence of prosperity—the man who
tells you that he starttal a lottery scheme
and was ruined.

Some years since, while residing in the city of
Providence, we heard much said in praise of Perry
Davis's " Pain Killer." We listened incredulously
to these tesitmonials. Well, health failing, as a last
resort, the Doctors sent us to Minnesota. The win
ter was intensely cold, and a terrible form of Neural
gia prevailed among the settler., and we fell into the
grasp of the disease, and dap• and night, for weeks,
endured untold agony. Many remedies were tried,
without avail. One day, however, a stalwat t fron
tiersman entered the room, bea.ing in his band a
vial partly filled with a reddish liquid.
It was some of the Pain killer. Be had bought it
in California three years before, and had kept Ii with
miserly care until then. Applying it externally and,
internally gone immediate relief. Since the,,, we
have recommended it successfully in ease. that
battled the best medical and. when we see
persons reject thts remedy, we recall our own ex

To be finished, to open, the Grand Tit rough Line
to the Pacific. This opening will certainly take
place early this season.
Tiesides a donatfon from the Government of
12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company Is en
titled to a subsidy in U. S. P.onds on its line as
completed and accepted, at the average rate of
about $.G,100 per mile, according to the difficul
ties encountered, for which tile Government
takes a second lien as security. Whether sub
sidies are given to any other companies or not,
the Government will comply with all its
contracts wit h the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany. Nearly the whole amount of bonds
to which the Company will be entitled have al
ready been delivered.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
By its charter, the Companv is permitted to
Issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to
the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and so more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage
upon the whole road and all its equipments.
They have thirty years to run, at six per cent.

ifTlie U. S. Supreme Court has recently decided
that this contract is in all respects valid and of
legal obligation.
Such securities are generally valuable In pro
portion to the length of time they have to ruu.
The longest six per cent, gold interest bonds of
the U. S. (the 81',) will be due in 12 years, and
they are worth 111. If they hint fhb ty years to
VIII, they would stand at not less than 12.3. A
perfectly safe First Mortgage hood like the
Union Pacific should approach this rate The
demand for European investment is already
considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large
premium.
SECURITY OF TuE
It needs no argument to show that a First
Mortgage of 020,300 per mile upon what for a
long time must be the only railroad connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific States is perfectly se
cure. The entire amount of the mortgage will
be about $30,000,000, and the interest $l,l - 00,000 per
annum in gold. The present currency cost of
this interest Is less than $2,500,000 per annum,

ABDIC.IS; E.
Perhaps no one medicine is so 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, us this
mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious
reasons for it Is, that it is a more reliable and far
more oiled( oat remedy than any other. Those
who have tried it, know that it cured them;
those who have not, know that it cures their
neighbors and friends, and all know that what
it does once it does always—that it never fails
through any fault or neglect of its composition.
We have thousands upon thousands of certifi
cates of their remarkable cures of the following
complaints, but such cures are known in every
neighborhood. and wo need not publish theta.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all cli
mates; containing neither calomel or any de
leterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
fresh them ever and makes theta pleasant to
take, while being purely vegetable no harm can
arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their j,owerini influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood and
stimulate it into healthy:teflon—remove the ob
structions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and
other organs of the body, restoring t heir irregu
lar action to health, and by correcting, where
ever they exist, such derangements as are the
Bret origin of disease.

yLllutte directions are _lven in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which
these PILLS rapidly core.
For InsPEPSIAO ON, LISTLESSNUSS,
LANGUOU and • Loss OP ArrvriTn, they should
be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach
and restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symp
toms, BILLIOUS SICK nEADACAE,
JAUNDICE or GREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC
and BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiziously
taken for each case. to correct the diseased ac
tion or remove the obstructions which cause it.
. .
For DYSENTERY or IninammA., but one mild
dose is generally required.
For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITA
TION OF TILE HEART, PAIN IS THE SIDE.Ack
and LOINS, they should be continuously taken.
as required, to change the diseased action of the
system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, they
should be taken In large and frequent doses to
produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large close should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. •
AS IL DINNER PILL, take one Or IWO PILLS to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels into healthy action, restores the ap
petite, and involutes the system. Hence it is
often advantageous where no serious derange-
meat exists. One who feels tolerably well,
often rinds that a dose of these Pats makes
him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing
and renovating enbet on the digestive apparatus.
