One of the greatest and bloodiest battles of modem days
has Just closed, resulting In tbe complete root of the
wtacked os at daybreak on Sunday morning.
The battle lasted without intermission during the entire
day, and was renewed on Monday morning, and continued
undecided until 4 o’clock In the afternoon, when the
enemy commenced to retreat and are still flying towards
Corinth pursued by a large force of our earalry.
The' slaughter on both sides has been Immense. We
bare lost in killed and wounded and missing, from 18 000
to 20,000, and that of the enemy is estimated at 35.000 to
40.000. *
The fight waa brought on by three hundred of the
Twenty.Kfth Missouri regiment, of Gen. Prentiss’ division,
attacking the advance guard of the rebels, which they
supposed to be pickets of tbe enemy.
•The rebels immediately advanced on Gen. Prentiss' di
vision on the left wing, pouring in volley after volley of
musketry, and riddling our camp with grape, cannister
and shell.
Our forces soon formed iato line and returned the fire
vigorously, and by tbe time we were prepared to receive
them they had tamed their heaviest - fire on our left
centre, Gen. Bherman'6 division, and drove our men hack
from their camps, and bringing up a fresh force, opened
fire on oor left wing, Gen. McGlernand’g.
This fire was returned with terrible effect and deter
mined spirit by both tbe infantry and artillery along the
whole line, a distanceof ovor four miles.
Gen. Hurlburt’s Division was thrown forward to sup
port the centre, when a desperate struggle ensued. The
rebels were driven back with terrible slaughter, bat soon
rallied and drove baek our men in turn.
Prom about 9 o’clock until night closed there was no
determination of tbe result of the straggle.
The rebels exhibited remarkable good generalship. At
times engaging the left with apparently their whole
■pongtb, they would suddenly open a terrible and de
structive fire on the right or centre.
Even onr heaviest and most destructive fire upon the
enemy did not appear to discourage their solid columns.
The firing of Major Taylor’s Chicago artillery raked them
down in scores, bnt the smoke no sooner dispersed than
the breaeh was again filled.
. _ The most desperate fighting took place late in the after
noon.
Gen. Bnell’s f.rces bad by this time arrived on the op
posite ride of the river, and another portion was coming
up the river from Bsvannah.
At five o’clock the rebels bad forced onr left wing back
so as to occupy folly two-thirds of onr camp, and were
active in ther efforts to drive ns Into the river, and at the
same time heavily engaged onr right.
t n l ** me w ® r ®colved no reinforcements, Gen.
.Lew. Wallace foiling to come to our support until the day
was over, having taken tbe wrong road from Crump’s
j being without other transports than those
WM for the Quartermaster's and Commissary stores,
which were too heavily laden to ferry any considerable
number of Gen Boell’s forces across the river, the boats
that were here having been 6ent to briog up the troops
from Savannah. r
We were, therefore, contending against fearfal odds, our
"T®®* exceeding thirty-eight thousand men, while that
or the enemy was upwards of sixty thousand.
Onr condition at this moment was exceedingly critical.
Large numbers of our men were panic-struck, and others,
worn opt by hard fighting, with the average per centage
of skulkers, had straggled towards tbe river and could not
be rallied.
Geo. Grant and staff, who had been fearlessly riding
along tbe line the entire day, amid an unceasing storm of
bullets, grape and shell, now rode from the right to the
left, inciting our men to stand firm until the reinforce
ments could cross the river. I
the chief of the staff, immediately got into
position the heaviest piece* of artillery, ponring on the
enemy s right, while a large number of batteries were
planted along the er tire liue from the river bank north
east. to our extreme right, some two and a half miles dis
tant.
Abont an hoar before dusk a general cannonading was
opened upon tbe enemy from along onr whole line, with a
perpetual crack of mnsketry.
. ? O / L # , flbort tsm ® tbe rebels replied with vigor and effect,
bnt their return fihots grew less frequent and destructive.
w Wjeours grew more rapid and terrible.
The gun boats Lexiogtoo and Taylor, which lay a short
distance off, kept raining shell on tbe rebel train. This
iaat effort was too moch for the enemy, and ere dusk, the
nrtng bad nearly ceased, when night coming on, the com
batants rested.
Onr men rested on their arms in the position they had
at the close or the night, until the forces under Brigadier-
Genernl Wallace arrived and took position on the right
and Gen. Buell's forces from tbe opposite side and Savan
nah, were conveyed to the battle ground.
General Nelson’s division was ordered to form on the
right, and the forces under Gen. Crittenden were ordered
to bis support.
Tli© Battle on Monday,
Early in the morning. General Buell having arrived, the
° as J. wa ? ?. pen *? ;\ c daylight, by General Wilson’s division
op the left, and Major-General Wallace’s division on the
nght.
Gen. Nelaon’M force opened a most galling fire on the
rebel?, end advance! rapidly as they fell back. The fire
soon became general along the whole line, and began to
tell with terrible effret on the rebels.
Generals McClernand. Sherman and ITurlburt’s men,
though terribly jaded from the previous day’s fighting,
■till maintained their honors won at Donelson.
The resistance of the rebels was terrible and worthy a
better ranse, but not enough for onr undaunted bravery
and the dreadful desolation produced by our artillery.
Which swept them away like chaff.
* ®° t , b ° ow > n 5 tiiat defeat here would he the death-blow
to their hopes, their Generals still urged them on in the
of C bat f tle eatrUCUOn ’ k opi,, £ flanking us to turn the tide
Their success was, for a time, cheering, as they began to
Gain ground on u*. ap-earing to have been reinforced; but
our left, under General Nelson, was driving them back
with wonderful rapidity, and at H o’clock Gen. Buell’s

They, however, again rallied on the left, and re-cros?ed,
and the right forced themselves forward in another desper

Thomas came in. regimentafter regiment, which were rent
to Gen. Buell, who had again begun to drive the rebels.
About 3 o clock, P. M.. Gen. Grant rode to the left,

The men followed with a shoot that sounded above the
roar and din of the artillery, and the rebels fled in dismay

Buell followed the retreating rebels, driving them
in splendid style, and at half past five o’clock, P. M., the
whole rebel army was in foil retreat to Corinth, with onr

Chicago, April 12.
The Tribune’s reporter, returned from Pittsburg. fur
nishes the following:
Taylor’s and Watterhonse’s batteries supported by the
Twenty-Third Illinois, BevenfeyS«venth and Fifty-Third
Ohi.«MaSntin dx, fight Eoth Ohio rejimmu ran, the
Seventy-Seventh without firing a gun—leaving Watte -
house without a support. He fought half an hoar, however.
fuH5 n A wl &r t f r S e ?/ He waa wounded In the
thigh by a Minte ball, not fatally; his battery waa badly
cn i tu ?t*n^?* lo £ Bba ttery continued the fight, supported
splendidly by the Illinois regiment, until his support was
outflanked on both sides. He then retired through a cross
fire, haviagbut one man killed and aeventeen wounded.
■Meantime Watterhouse, with his three guns, took a posi
tion supported by the second brigade of McOJernand’a dl
rift i* e 9 m P°*® d of the 115th, 118th, 17th, 20tb, 45th, 48th
Illinois—Colonel Marsh, commanding. Dating the fight
they were compelled to retire, through their own encamp
ment, with heavy loss, into some woods, where they formed
a second line of battle. An advance was then ordered by
McClernand a hundred rods beyood them, in sight of the
rebels. Here commenced one of the most fiercely con
tested engagements of the day, resulting in the repulse of
the enemy, who was driven back through onr encampment.
At this point tbe enemy met reinforcements, and onr am
munition giving ont, Marsh's command gave way to
another brigade. They, however, were compelled to retreat
within a half mile of the river.
At this moment the gunboat behind, throwing shells
over the beads of oor men, covered the the groand in
every direction with rebels slain. Taylor again took posi
tion on the parade groand of tbe first division, and opened
on a rebel battery, placed eighthnndred yards distant. A
splendid artillery duel tock place; the rebel battery was
silenced, and (heir caisson blown up. Taylor’s battery was
then ordered Into the reserve. Daring the fight several
Mississippi regiments, who had arrived on Saturday nieht.
came into the fight at double qulek, bnt were almost iin
mediately repulsed.
On Monday a Michigan battery, captured the day before,
was by the Fifteenth Wisconsin, who had a fight
over this battery, conducted la person by Bemregard. In
nis effort to recover it. he waa wounded in tbe arm. He
was successful in taking it* bnt it waa again taken from
mm. It was captured and re-captnred no less than six
times.
Company A, Chicago light artillery, was so severely
handled the first day that they were only able to man
three gone on Monday; bnt with these, after a desperate
contest, they succeeded completely in silencing and captur
ing a rebel battery of six guns, bat they were, however,
compelled to abandon it from a lack of horses to draw it
off. Their own pieces were brought off.
The general retreat of the enemy commenced at dark on
Monday, our cavalry following nntil their horses tired ont.
Bnt for tbe almost impassable condition of roads, the rout
would have been made complete, and we could have car
ried their entrenched camp at Corinth. It will be im
possible, on account of the condition of the roads, to do it
now for some days.
The rebel artillery is superior to ours, and their small
arms are almost equal. Tbe rebelloss is fifteen thousand
killed and wounded; ours, ten thousand. These will be
found moderate estimates. The enemy have taken more
prisoners than we.
i #T he lowaI owa were ca Pt°r©d en masse when our reporter
left on Wednesday morning. Our advance, which had been
pursuing, only occupied the ground formerly held by tbe
eD m? y ’ half wa y between Pittsburg and Corioth.
The enemy are straining every nerve to get in reinforce
ments, and bloody work most yet occur before we drive
them from their position.
The Timex’ specie! says the responsibility of the ihrpriee
rests with the commanding officer.
On Friday a large force of rebel cavalry appeared in sight
of our lines, and remained there; bat Gen. Bherman, who
occupied the advance, had been ordered not to bring on
an engagement—consequently he sent oat no correspond
Ing force to meet them. They remained in position nntil
Sunday morning, and served as a screen behind which
Beauregard formed his troops in line of battle nndiscov-
—li b^, the atUck was firBt made » th ® 63d, 57th, 71st and
!' 11 9“ lo regiments displayed inexcnsable Inefficiency;
the latter fled without firing a gun; the others fired one
or two rounds, and then fled. The cowardice of these regi
ments left that point undefended, when tbe enemy imme
diately closed in and surrounded the more advanced reei
ments. “
It is alio stated that the 18th Wisconsin and 16th lowa
fled aftor firing two or three rounds.
When the enemy fled they burned their wagons and left
* ,(roollded behind, all of whom are prisoners.
Watierhonse’B battery lost one kided, and sixteen wound
ed ; Willard’s Chicago battery, five killed and thirty
wounded. J
One New Orleans regiment, the* “Louisiana Tigers,”
wero almost entirely left on the field, killed or wounded :
they were nearly all wealthy men. •
A Zouave from Gen. Prentiss escaped on Tuesday, and
came into camp alone. In the confusion of the retreat, be
managed to elnde tbe rebel vigilance.
Beauregard intended to make his attack two days pre
vious, bnt extraordinary rains impeded his progress and
p ar ? Tal Had the attack been made at the time
intended, Bneil coaid not possibly have reached there in
time to save ns from defeat.
Death off Beauregard Reported.
Gen Banks under date of April 13th, telegraphs to the
Secretary of War that a report reached his quarters, direct
from Jackson’s camp, that Gen. Beauregard is dead.
Tlie Capture off Island No. 10—Despatch
from Commodore Foote.
, Washington, April 9.
lbe following was received at the Navy Department this
morning: 1
Flag-Ship Benton, )
_ Island No. 10, April 8, via Cairo. ]
Man. Gideon WelUs, Secretary of the Navy: I have to
iDfnrm the Department that since I sent tbe telegram last
night announcing tbe surrender to me of Island No 10
possession has been taken of both tbe Island and the works
upon the Tennessee shore, by the gun-boats and troops
under the command of Gen. Buford.
Seventeen officers and three hundred and sixty-eight
privates, besides one hundred of their sick and one hun
dred men employed on board the transports, are in our
bands, unconditionally prisoners of war.
I have caused a hasty examination to be made of the
forts, batteries and munitions of war captured. There are
eleven earlhworks with seventy heavy cannon, varying in
calibre from 32 to 100-ponnders rifled.
The magazines are well sopplied with powder and there
are large quantities of shot, shells, and other munitions of
war, and also great quantities of provisions. Four steam
ers afloat have fallen into our hands, and two others, with
the rebel gan-boat Grampus, are sunk, bnt will be oasllv
raised. J
The floating battery of sixteen heavy guns, turned
adrift by the rebels, is said to be lying on the Missouri
snore below New Madrid.
The enemy upon the mainland appear to have flod
with great precipitation after dark last night, leaving in
mony cases half prepared meals in their qnarters. There
seems to have been no concert of action between the rebels
upon the Island and those occupying the shore, but the
latter fled, leaving tbe former to their fate.
These works, erected with the highest engineering skill,
are of great strength, and with their natural advantage-?,
would have been impregnable, if defended by men fighting
In a better cause. 0
A combined attack of the naval and land forces, would
h&ve taken place thiß afternoon, or to-morrow morning,
had not the rebels eu hastily abandoned this stronghold.
To mature these plans of attack, has absolotely required
the twenty-three days of preparation.
Gen. Pope is mnmontsrily expected to arrive with his
army at this point, hehaving sncceßsfnllv crossed the river
yesterday under a heavy fire, which no doubt led to the
nasty abandonment of the work last night

so gallantly ran ‘ho file of tbe rebel batteries a few nights
since, yesterday attacked and reduced a fort of the onemy
opposite, dismounting eight heavy gnns

am. *
Tam a General made by Beauregard—a General selected
by Generals Beauregard and Bragg for this command, when
they knew it was in peril. They have known liie for
twenty years. Together we have stood in the field of
Mexico. Give them your confidence. Give it to me when
I have earned it.

vigilance and coolness of last night and hold it

The weather still continues unfavorable for military
operations. It has been raining for two days, and the
creeks are moch swollen and the low-grounds are covered
with water, making the road almost impassable for empty
wagons.
The flower of their army, with their best arms, are in a
strongly entrenched position. Previous to onr troops oc
cupying their present position, the military authorities had
no means of ascertaining the extent of tbe rebel works.
Information received shows that the rebels have a force
of GO,OOO which is rapidly adding np by troops from the
neighborhood of Richannd, which is one day from York
town by railroad and river, they having four steamers and
sixteen transports in nse, and by the time the roads are In
condition for the Union army to move, the rebels may be
able to meet them with 100,000 men.
Information obtained through deserters, contrabands
and other sources, show that tbe enemy have nearly 500
gnnß,scm9 of them of the largest calibre. The rebel gen
eral Johnson, with some of his forces, has arrived and
taken command in person, showing that they intend mak
ing a desperate resistance to the advance of onr troops at
every point. Their entrenchments extend from Jama
river to York river.
The cheeriDg news from the Western department ar
rived here to-day, and onr troops are wild with enthusiasm
over the result and are anxious to be led to active and
similar deeds of valor.
News from Rebel Sources*
___ _ , ~ Baltmoxx. April 12.
We find the following in the Richmond Whig, of the
18th. A letter has been received at New Orleans from Ban
Antonia, announcing tbe foil of Fort Craig, New Mexico,
by unconditional capitulation. CoL Canby proposed that
himself and command be permitted to dep rt on condition
that they pledge themselves not to serve during the war,
bat Gen. Sibley insisted on an unconditional surrender.
On Monday Jeff. Davis addressed some wounded sol
diers and said, that he intended to share their fote on the
next battle field, and come weal or woe, he would be with
them, and whatever might betide, whether victory or
defeat ensued, of one thing be assured them, that the
cause is safe. “We will conquer in the end.”
A despatch dated Mobile, April sth, says, the enemy
shelled Pass Christian yesterday, and landed 2,400 men,
and 12 Four-pound howitxerg. Onr force was 300 men and
two howitzers. We made a narrow eaeape.
Additional particulars ef the movement of the Merrimac
and her consorts, in Hampton Roads, on Friday have been
received. The Merrimac, Jamestown, Yorktown, and
several small tugs, came down the roads as if they intended
to attack the Federal fleet. After manoeuvring for some
time the Jamestown sailed towards two brigs and one
schooner, which were anchored near Newport News, and
in less than half an hour she captured them and was tow
ing them towards Craney Island. The Merrimac came
down later In the afternoon, and after exchanging shots
with the Monitor, Naugatuck, and several gunboats, re
turned. As most of the shots fell short, no damage was
done.
[From the N.. Y. Weekly Argos, j
THE ELECTIONS.
Wo .have have a batch of Democratic victo
ries to record this week, showing the onward
march of sound principles, and furnishing
another rebuke to the demagogues who charge
the Democracy with disloyal and disunion
sentiments.
In Milwaukie, the Democrats have elected
their Mayor and nearly tbe whole ticket.
In Elmira, a splendid Democratic victory
was achieved. The Gazette says :
Ihe Charter election, which took place in
Eiinira on Tuesday, April Ist, resulted in a
brilliant and decisive Democratic victory
sweeping everything in the Corporation exoept
the Trustee and Street Commissioner in the
First ward, and the Street Commissioner in
the Third ward, who were carried in on local
issues.
This is what we call “ April fooling ” the
Republicans.
In Ontario county, N. Y., the Democracy
have carried tbe important towns. Canan
daigua elects a Union Democrat, J. J. Mat
teson, editor of the Repository & Messenger, ■
Supervisor. Seneoa (in which is tbe village
of Geneva) has been carried by the Democracy.
The Geneva Gazette says:
The town of Seneca yesterday elected the
entire Democratic ticket (by majorities rang
ing from 93 to 208,) with the exception of the
candidate for Supervisor, who was defeated,
by a purely personal issue, by 12 votes. The
town has always heretofore been relied on for
a Republican majority of 100 to 250.
It is felt and acknowledged by candid
Republicans to be a complete revolution;
another evidence of the great reaction going
on in the public mind against sectionalism
and fanaticism.
The whole county has done well, but we
have not full returns.
Albany City and County.
Albany elects Eli Perky, Democrat, Mayor,
by 2400 majority, together with the entire
ticket, except Police Justice. The Democrats
also elect 7 of the 10 supervisors, and 7 of the
10 Aldermen.
Watervliet elects a Democratic Supervisor
by 720 majority ; and also every candidate on
the Democratic ticket.
The Board of Supervisors of Albany Co.
will be strongly Democratic.
Tompkins County.
Town Elections.— Fourteen Democrats,
out of eighteen nominees, are elected by
majorities of 70 to 100.— Tompkins Democrat .
Schenectady.
The Democratic victory is complete. Hun
ter’s majority for Mayor'is 144 ; Brandt’s, for
Treasurer, 417 ; Harman, for Justice, 108 ;
High Constable, 211; Street Superintendent,
315.
TJie Common Council stands 17 Democrats
to 3 Republicans.
Democratic Rhode Island.
The result of the recent election in Rhode
Island is most gratifying. Gov. Sprague was
nominated by the Democrats and Conserva
tives, and the Republicans made no nomina
tion. Many of their presses assumed to
support Gov. S. on abolition grounds, and
did not hesitate to ascribe to him a pamphlet,
in wbioh radical theories in this-respect were
avowed. Bnt when these views were dis
claimed on the part of the Governor, the
Republicans drew off and refused to vote for
him, though they had no other candidate in
the field.
Tbe result, however, is auspicious. We
show a large Democratic vote, re-elect the
Governor, and place a sound conservative
Representative in the United States Senate.
The Flection In Connecticut.
We Buppoeed the Union movement in Con-
which was the exaot counterpart of
the coalition between the Republicans and a
portion of the Democrats of this State, last
autumn, would prove successful. Such is the
result. The mixed ticket, oomposed of half
Republicans and half Democrats, being eleoted
by six or eight thousand majority. The
Democrats have polled a large vote, losing
several thousand now in the army, aDd
they are ready to meet the foe "hereafter,
perhaps, on more equal ground.
Jersey City
Has elected the Democratic ticket by a
majority of about 700.
We have barely time to name other Demo
cratic successes. In Wisconsin, Milwaukee,
Janesville, Madison, Racine and Kenosha,’
have chosen Democratic Mayors.
The work goes bravely on.
THK WHISKEY KEBELLIOk.
We think every man, not absolutely a mon
omsniao on the subject of slavery, will see at
a glance the propriety and justioe of the
comparison in the following short and pithy
extract which we make from an article in the
Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot & Union:
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
“We had a rebellion once in Pennsylvania.
It extended over a number of western counties!
It was caused by whiskey, or, more properly
speaking, a tax upon whiskey. Washington
summoned an army, and marohed westward ;
but before he reached the scene of the revolt
the rebels dispersed, and the rebellion oame
to an end. The President was satisfied with
this result. He did not say, ‘ This rebellion
was caused by whiskey, and we cannot hope
for peace while there is .a gallon of whiskey
distilled in Pennsylvania.’ He did not en
deavor to remove theoanse by demolishing all
the distilleries in Pennsylvania. He did not
say that while whiskey continued to be dietii
led, there was reason to anticipate periodical
rebellions. His business was to enforce the
laws. He did that promptly and summarily
and considered the work finished. Now
whiskey was undeniably the oanse of the
rebellion. Had there been no whiskey there
would have been no rebellion. Whiskey was
as much the cause of that rebellion as slavery
is of this. We have never had another rebel
lion on acoount of whiskey, and when this
rebellion is put down we will never have
another rebellion on account of slavery.”
It might be added to this, that some of the
most dangerous riots of France, are oansed
by the scarcity of provisions. It would be
just as sensible to advocate the destruction of
provisions to prevent those riots, as it is to
advooate the emancipation of Southern slavea
to get rid of rebellion. Leave slavery where
the Constitution pnt it, and there will be no
rebellion, nor would there have been, had
slavery been let alone. Dubuque (Iowa)

One of the most bare faced bank robberies
we ever beard of took place at St. Lotus,
Missouri, on the 27th of March. The chief
actor was a mere boy named Redman. The
city being under - martial law, and a very
sharp lookout being kept after Secessionists,
the youngster forged an order of the Provost
Marshal, asking a military officer in command
in tbe city for a sqnad of six men to aid in the
arrest of Mr. Hammer, of tbe firm of Hammer
& Co., bankers, on a charge of disloyalty to
the Government. Not being altogether satis
fied with the aspect of the Provost /Marshal’s
signature to the request, the officer applied to,
refused to detail the men. Another forgery
enabled Redman to procure the services of a
squad of men from a Wisconsin regiment, who
accompanied him to the banking honse, which
is situated in one of the mOBt crowded thorough
fares of the city. Stationing the guard at tbe
door, Redman entered and informed Mr.
Hammer that he was a prisoner. Mr. Ham
mer asked an explanation. This was refused
him, and be was told to go instantly with tbe
guard. The banker began to put up his bills
and gold, bnt that was what the young scoun
drel did not want above all things, and ac
cordingly he forbade it. Resistance only
brooght the guard with their bristling bayo
nets, and Hammer, at the. risk of impalement,
threw what he could readily catch up into the
safe and locked it. On being ordered to open
it he refused, but was obliged to give up the
key. The look being a eombinatic® one, Red
man canid not open it, althoagh he tried very
hard. Hammer was commanded to anlook
the safe, bnt that he absolutely refused to, do,
and was given over to the guard, who took
him to a place of custody. Meanwhile Red
man gathered up what money was left—some
s2,2so—and pocketed it. He then made his
way ooolly through the crowd around the door
and effeoted his escape. While the aot of
plunder was going on, a partner in the Bank
ran, to tbe Provost Marshal, to learn the cause
of tbe sudden and unjust arrest of the head
of the firm, when he discovered that no order
had been issued for Mr. Hammer’s arrest.
The St. Louis Nbwb, whioh gives the history
of the affair of which the above is the sub
stance, says:
“ Further inquiries showed that there was
•something wrong, and upon sending an order
to the guard for the release of the prisoner,
about four o’clock in the afternoon, the de
nounoement of the plot was reached. The
banker had been robbed and imprisoned,
Uncle Sam’s troops had been used to do the
work, and the bold scamp who planned and
executed the daring scheme, had, for the time,
escaped, a Notwithstanding his good luek,
however, he has since been arrested, and will
shortly enaot the next scene in the drama he
so successfully began. He has earned a place
in the penitentiary and a position among the
first oraeksmen of the age.”

A cold settles somewhere ia the body, sad ob
structs its natural functions. These, ir not relieved,
react upon themselves and the surrounding organs, pro
ducing general aggravation, suffering, and disease.
While In this condition, oppressed by the derangements,
take Ayer’s Pills, and see bow directly they restore the
natural action of the system, and with it the buoyant
-feeling of health is true and so apparent la
this trivial and common complaint, is also true in many
of the deep-seated and dangerous distempers. The same
purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural functions of tho
body, they are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured
by the same means. None who know the virtues of those
Pills, will neglect to employ them when suffering from
the disorders they cure.
