NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.
We will pablisk no paper next week, in
order to give our employees the full bene
fit of our national holiday. A little. re
creation is needed by every body occasion
ally, and by none more than the Printer.
Our readers will remember, then, that our
next number will not be published until
Wednesday, July 16th.
THE TRUE POLICY.
A private letter to the Editors from an
officer of the 85th Regiment contains the
following paragraph:—
"McClellan makes short work of the
negro business. If any officer is asked
anythin* about negroes, the stereotyped
answer is, 'We have nothing to do with
the negroes.'"
That is the true policy concerning the
slaves in this struggle,-=let them take care
of themselves. If Congress, instead of
babbling incessantly and legislating in
every imaginable way and shape about
the darkey, had given him a "tremendous
letting alone," the war would have been
successfully terminated ere this. This is
not a war for negro emancipation, but for
the vindication of the authority of the
Government and the preservation of the
Union, and as soon as the people of the
South are satisfied it has been undertaken
and prosecuted for these and for no other
purposes, they will lay down their arms.
They have been badly deceived by their
leaders, and much has been done by the.
Abolitionists to excite their fears and
foster their hostility to the Government.
RETURNED VOLUNTEERS.
ISAAC GRAY, S. A. CHANEY and CHARLES
CHAPMA.N, all members of Company F.
(Capt. John Morris,) 85th Regiment,
reached their homes in this county last
week. Messrs. Chaney and Gray were
both wounded in the battle of Fair Oaks, and
are on furlough, we believe, until they re
cover. Little Greene has just cause to be
proud of the courage. and endurance of her
soldiers. The sons she has sent to the de
fence of the national standard have nobly
and gallantly confronted the foe thus far,
and many have laid down their lives on
the altar of the Union. The country will
long cherish the memory of the dead of
this war, and the brave boys who survive
it will have no reason to account the Re
public ungrateful.
SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.
"The President has approved the bill
securing freedom in all the present, as
.Frell as in future territories of the United
States."
The measure above referred to, and
which passed both Houses of Congress by
- a strict party vote, embodies and carries
out the "one-idea" of the Republican
party, resistance to the extension of slave
ry in the Territories. No matter what the
will and the pleasure of the people direct
ly interested in the matter may be, this
act denies them the right and privilege of
framing their own laws and adopting
their own institutions. In its practical
operations, under Republican rule, no
State can or will hereafter be admitted to
the Union, unless its Constitution prohib
its slavery.
Aside from the objections to such an en
actment which might be urged on the
score of policy, at this time, the doctrine it
contains and enforces is at war with the
genius of a democratic government. It
is a bold, practical denial of the capacity
of the people to govern themselves. It
not only questions their intelligence, but
ignores their sovereignty, and may (char
itably, enough,) be denounced as an in
suit arid outrage. Thatit will ultimately be
repealed, when the Union is restored and
the right is done, we have no more doubt
than we have of the eventual and the sig
nal success of the national cause. Its
adoption, at this time, only shows how
feverishly anxious our Republican friends
are to foist all their policy on the country
before the people give them "leave to
quiv,
_ Stars and Stripes now
wave over the remains of every dead
President of the United States ex.
cept those of James Monroe, whose
remains.were taken some years since
from 'law York toliOntond.
"TEE UM AS IT MOT TO BE,
NOT AS IT WAS."
The New York Tribune declares itself
"for the Union as it ought to be," and not
for the Union as it was, if it can be helped.
This is the talk we hear on all sides from
the Abolition zealots who are so flippant
in their denunciations of Democratic loyal
ty. They are opposed to any Union which
does not make the irrepressible nigger the
"chief corner-stone." Negro freedom and
negro equality are the Alpha and Omega
of their labors and aims. While Demo
crats every where, .and to a man, are for
the Union as it was, and the Constitution
aa it is, these half-crazed fanatics are press
ing their schemes for the overthrow of the
rights of the States and the defeat of the
great and patriotic objects of the struggle,
the maintenance of the supremacy of the Con
stitution and the preservation of the Union of
our fathers. Time will show how much
these traitors and conspirators will accom
plish by their plottings. The Government
must frown on their disloyalty, and the
people rebuke it at the ballot-box, or the
national cause will suffer serious, if not
fatal embarrassment.
W. T. H. PAULEY, ESQ. •
COL RODDY, of the Uniontown Genius
makes the following comments on the ar
ticle we recently published from the Cham
bersburg Valley Spirit, and which he trans
fers to his columns : •
"We take the above from the Valley
Spirit, published at Chambersburg in
Franklin County, and rejoice to find the
claims of Mr. Pauley and of Greene coun
ty appreciated in that section of our State.
That Greene County is entitled to one of
the candidates on the State ticket now,
having never asked or enjoyed that honor
before cannot we think be disputed; and
that Mr. Pauley being the choice of his
own County as he is, and well and favor
ably known throughout the adjoining coun
ties, could add strength to the ticket and
life and vigor to the campaign is very clear.
Let us have a ticket that will arouse our
people and the western counties will give
a good account of themselves in the fall."
A HINT.
Major Jack Downing once said to Gen.
Jackson : "Gin'ral, I have always ob
served that those persons who have a great
deal to say about being ready to shed their
last drop of blood, are amazin' purtic'lar
about the first drop!' There are some
of the same class of people left in this
country. They are wondrous valiant in
telling what should be done to the rebels,
favor the raising of armies by millions,
plead earnestly for others to enter the ser
vice of the country, but never offer their own
precious bodies ! You can generally tell
them by their noisy habits, and blustering
method of attacking better people than
themselves. Poor fellows! t hey don't know
what a laughing stock they are for others.
NO DEMOCRAT A DISUNIONIST.
No man can be a Democrat and at the
same time be a disunionist. Devotion to
country, to the Constitution and obedience to
the laws are cardinal doctrines of the Dem
ocratic party. This is the foundation up
on which the Democratic party was first
erected by the founders of the Republic,
and to this it has faithihlly adhered at all
times and under all circumstances. Amid
the wildest din of fanaticism the Democracy
have raised their warning voice, appealed
to the reason and judgment of the people,
and pointed out approaching danger.
BEAVER 001JNTY.
The Democracy of Beaver County, at
their late Convention, which was largely
attended and was a most harmonious and
enthusiastic gathering, unanimmYsly adopt
ed the following Resolution :
Resolved, That the unswerving de
votion of the gallant Democracy of
Greene county entitles them to the
highest consideration of the Democ
racy of the State at large, and we
cheerfully second their nomination
of W. T. H. Pauley, Esq., for a po
sition on the State ticket at the com
ing October election,
and instruct our
delegates . to the 4th of July Conven
tion to vote for him, and to use all
honorable means to insure his suc
cess.
AN EPITAPH.
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, concluded his speech
of June 6th with the following:—
• Weary in watching its mad designs of
revolution—and its crazy crotchets of
black freedom—and for the self-preserva
tion of my native ,State and the North
with the black emigration with which it
is threatened, I shall go to my home and
ask the ballot to speak its denunciation.—
A. few months and that expression will be
had. On it depends the fate of the Repub
lic. My belief is, that the people will
write the epitaph of this Congress, nearly
as Gladstone wrote that of the Coalition
ministry during •the,Cr(mean war:
Here lies the ashes:of the XXXVII Congress !
It found the United States in a war of
gigantic proportions, involving
its very existence.
It was content to wield the sceptre of Power
and accept the emoluments of office,
and use them to overthrow the
political and social system of the country, which
it was sworn to protect
It saw the fate of thirty-four white common
wealths in peril, but it babbled of the
=GILD !
It saw patriotic generals and soldiers in the
field, under the old flag ;
It slandered theone, and in the absence of the
other it destroyed his means of labor.
It talked. of Liberty to the black and
piled burdens of taxation on the white people
for schemes utopian
The people launched at it the thunderbolt
of their wrath ;
and its members sought to avoid punishment
by creeping into dishonored
politica; graves!
Requieseat
le-Richmond, a letter to the
Charleston Mercury says, is "one vast
hospital !" Provision are also at
famine prices. The distress is ter
rible and universal, and csuutot be
endured much longer without its en
ding in 'pestilence - . Its only salva
tion is dig speedy victory of the Fed
eral forces.
EXPECTED STARVATION AT THE
8017111.
During the last six months the people
of the rebel States have subsisted quite
well on the abundant crops of last season.
But the supplies thus obtained are nearly
exhausted, and the war has employed so
much of the labor of the country, that
the amount of grain planted has been
less than usual. Besides the wheat and
corn crop in Alabama, Mississippi, South.-
ern Tennessee, Georgia and other States
are comparative failures. In some parts,
the wheat fields will scarcely yield as
much seed as was planted. Flour is sell
ing at $l6 per barrel, and corn at $2 per
bushel.
At such prices, the masses of the peo
ple, already impoverished by war, are on
the verge of starvation. The Union pris
oners of General Prentiss' division, lately
quartered at Montgomery, were released
because the rebels could not feed them,
the inhabitants of Montgomery themselves
being short of provisions. Before the sea
son is over, there will be hundreds of
thousands starving in the rebel States, un
less peace, is restored, so that supplies
can be furnished from the abundance of
the Northwest. The people of the free
States must be prepared to give freely to
the deluded and impoverished people of
the rebel States.
"UNION SAVERS."
Previous to the Presidential election,
of 1860, says a cotemporary, the opponents
of the Democratic party applied to its
members many epithets of derision ; but
among the catalogue of sarcastic appella
tions fixed upon us by Republicans and
Abolitionists, none were uttered with such
unction of scorn as those of "Union-Sa
vers" and "Union-Shriekers." The va
liant orators of Republicanism were in
Ithe habit of pointing their wit and adorn
ing their denunciations of Democrats in
general by calling them Union savers and
shriekers. The people are now looking
back to the admonitions of Democrats
then spoken and written against the suc
cess of a sectional party based upon an
tagonism to the vital interests and insti
tutions of a large number of the States of
the Union, and thinking that the Demo
crats were not only in earnest in their en
deavors to save the Union, but that they
took a very proper and prophetic view of
the whole subject of Abolition sectional-
I=
NORTHERN TREASON.
An anti-slavery organization has been
formed in the City of New York, at the
head of which is the editor-in-chief of the
Evening Post, WILLAY CULLEN BRYANT, the
poet, which announces as one of its fun
damental principles the dogma that "no
State now in the rebellion shall be again re
cognized as a member of the Union except on
condition of emancipation." What treason
is this! The association is called the
"Emancipation League," and addresses
have been delivered before it at the Cooper
Institute by Senator JIM LANE, of Kansas,
and OWEN LOVEJOY, the fanatical M. C.
from Illinois. It is intended, if possible;
to engraft this treasonable principle upon
the platform of the Republican party, and
convert the war at once into an anti-sla
very crusade. It is as rank treason as se
cession itself, and is based upon the ab
surd doctrine of the Southern demogagues,
that a State can take itself out of the Union,
and that those States in which the rebel
lion now prevails are really out. The
Newburyport Herald, a Republican journ
al, thus disposes of the fallacy upon which
the "Emancipation League" has estab
lished its creed :
"No State has gone out of the Union,
and we are not attempting to bring one in
to the Union. We only aim to suppress
insurrection in certain States of the Union,
that the laws may be executed and the loy
al people hold control. If the States could
take themselves out of the Union, this
would be a foreign war, a war of invasion,
and to be justified on no good grounds; but
not being out, we can make no conditions
for their return. There is the Constitution
—they must obey that, and we can impose
upon them nothing different or beyond
that. Mr. Bryant's League accepts the
ground on which Jeff. Davis started, and
it is no more to be tolerated than should
be a nest of secessionists."
WELL SAID.
The Providence (R. I.) Post thus speaks
of the assaults of Disunion Abolitionists
upon the Union-loving and loyal Democ
racy
"There are five hundred Abolitionists in
our State to-day—we think we do not over
rate the number—who would not give a
day's work, or lift a hand, or move a fin
ger, or speak a word, to restore the Union!
Their position is no secret. They are
plain, out-spoken, square to the mark men.
"But these very men can accuse Demo
crats, who have never uttered a disloyal
word—who have been known as Union
men and pleading for the Union through
their whole lives, while men of the Repub
lican party have been proposing, in reso
lutions, and speeches, to "let the Union
slide"—they can accuse these Democrats
of disloyalty with all the coolnesss of a
"Polar Refrigerator."

TEE CIOUTITIMOII AS IT
MOH AB IT WAS.
We find the following article afloat in
the great newspaper sea. It stirs one as
if it were a blast of a trumpet :
Amid the waves of the ocean, some vast
Gibaltar rears its rocky front, against
which the waves may beat, around which
the lightning and tempest may play, still
leaving its adamantine strength unshaken,
its .collossal form calmly and grandly
looming above the wilderness of waters, a
gladdening sight to the storm-tossed mar
iner—so now, the Constitution, the Gibral
ter of our liberties, against which the
waves of sectional strife may moan in
vain, and around which the fierce storms
of civil war may harmlessly wage, begins
to rear itself over and above the sea of tu
mult and bloody strife, gladdening the
bruised hearts and the dying spirits of
American citizens with its magnificent per
fection and the grand promise of its au
thoritative protection.
Let us never defile this sacred deposi
tory of human rights. The men who made
it were furnished at their time and for that
purpose by the hand of God himself—great
souls, planted on earth to bloom for a time
and again be garnered in heaven—century
plants in the garden of humanity. This
Constitution once destroyed, once lost, and
the age to-day can 'find no factors who
shall form and establish one to supply its
place.
During the same century God will not
furnish the same nation with two genera
tions of Washingtons, Franklins, Jeffer
sons, and other compeers.
• Let us fight bravely, then, both in the
South and North, against the cohorts of
secession and the hordes of abolition—for
the Union as it was, and the Constitution
as it is. Fortune, life, happiness and hon
or cannot be periled in a better cause.—
Let the banners of Democracy wave first
in the fight. Let the "long roll" be sound
ed in that gallant old party, and victory
for our cause is secured.
MORE TESTIMONY.
Capt. John J. Robison, of Tuscarawas
county, now a captain of the 18th Ohio
regiment, near Corinth, thus writes to the
Holmes County Fanner, about the damag
ing effects of the Abolition emancipation
projects that are being passed by the pres
ent Congress:
"The legislation of Congress on the sla
very question has greatly strengthened the
rebel cause in the south-west. The rebel
leaders now say, 'Did we not tell you what
the Abolitionists would do if they succeed
ed?' The Abolitionists have thrown all
the doubtful and wavering on the side of
the rebels, except a very few, who count
the chances of success and act accordingly.
It is hard for soldiers to crush Secession
when Congress is trampling upon the Con
stitution, and enforcing the dogmas which
aided in bringing this devastating war up
on the country. It will take the last life's
drop of many poor soldiers to repair the
damage that the present Congress has done
to the Union cause."
The above expresses the sentiments of
the whole army, and every other discreet,
sensible man in the Union. Jeff. Davis
seems to have two Congresses in his inter
est at the present time, and the one at
Washington is doing him more good than
the one at Richmond.—Ex.
DOUGLAS MONUMENT.
The Douglas Monument .Association
have effected an arrangement with the
publishers of the imperial size steel en
graving, 21 by 17 inches, (the best ever
published) of Judge Douglas, and sold by
the latter at one dollar per copy. The As
sociation will furnish to each subscriber in
the eam of two dollars or more both the
diploma of life-membership and the por
trait; or dispose of copies of the portrait
at the publishers' price of one dollar—all
profits arising from the sale by the Asso
ciation accruing to the monument fund.—
See advertisement.
THE CASE STATED.
At the commencement of this war Dem
ocrats were willing to forego all contro
versy about their principles, during its con
tinuance, and to labor heartily with all
who were working to maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution and the per
petuity of the Union. They had a right
to expect the same patriotic course from
Republicans and Abolitionists. In this
they have been disappointed. The Aboli
tion rulers of the Republican organization
have insisted upon forcing their dogmas
upon the country as the basis upon which
the war shall be prosecuted. Democrats
and conservative men have been forced in
to party attitude to beat bask abolition
ism. They saw the insincerity of the as
sumed Union sentiments of Abolitionists,
and the hollowness of their "no party"
professions, and that the country stood in
just as much danger from Abolitionists as
from Secessionists. They were forced to
take up their party organization to defeat
abolitionism, while they did the fighting
to put down armed rebellion.—Patriot and

THE WOOL OBOE OF OHIO.
According to . the Assessor's returns
of the State of Ohio, it is believed that
there are now in that State about
4,000,000 head of sheep. Allowing
the average rate of wool per head to
be three pounds and a half, this
would be 14,000,000 pounds of wool.
This, we take it, is a large stock,
and in quality equal to that produced
in any other State of the Uuion.—
Supposing that the average price this
year will be forty cents a pound, this
product of Ohio will amount to $5,-
000,000.

LBlllll FROM WE ARMY.
Bar The following letter wan received
from J. LLNDSRY Inonnen by H. H. LlND
szr, Esq., of Jefferson :
Cam. 12 MILES FROM RICHMOND,
Friday, June 17, 1862.
One year ago we entered Camp Wilkins;
to-day we are in hearing of the rebel can
non at Richmond. On Sunday last, we
received orders to prepare for joining the
army at Richmond, and at nine o'clock
that night our Brigade took up the line of
march for a point down the Rappahan
nock, where transports were in readiness
for us. About noon on Monday our Bri
gade (the Ist, 2d, sth and Bth, with six
companies of Buck Tails, the other four
being with Banks,) got on board t rare
ports and were soon steaming dovriarthe
ia •
Rappahannock.
The River was very narrow, but as we
went farther on it began to widen, until,
finally, we were in a body of water large
as the Mississippi, in many places. From
where we embarked to the Chesapeake
Bay it is 150 miles, and our trip was a
most pleasant one. The banks of the riv
er were lined with the colored' population,
making the wildest demonstrations of de
light at our coming. Arriving in the Bay,
we steamed down it for thirty miles, to the
mouth of York River, up which we went
35 miles, to the mouth of the Pamunkey
—passing Yorktown, Gloucester Point,
&c. The York River is a pretty stream,
but the country on either side is dreary
looking. We passed up the Pamunkey 40,
miles—to White House—where we arri
ved about 6 o'clock on Wednesday. There
we left the transports and bivouacked for
the night. The Pamunkey is a narrow
river but must be deep, as a fleet of 200 or
300 vessels, men-of-war, &c., were lying'
near where we disembarked.
At White House we saw quite a number
of the sick and wounded from the late
fights of Williamsburg and Richmond.—
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning we took
up the line of march and came 10 miles
down the Railroad toward Richmond.—
the day was intensely hot and the march
pretty severe on us. At SP. M., we halt
ed, near the Chickahominy, 12 miles
from the city, but only 6 or 8 miles from
the advance lines of our army.
The country from White House to here
is the most forlorn, wretched looking, of
any we have seen in all Virginia. It is
one eternal swamp, with scarcely a house
visible. Since arriving here we have been
visited by several old friends from the
85th. Casey's Division is said to be badly
cut up, and the 85th seem to have seen
enough. At Williamsburg they are said
to have done nobly, but their late reverse
has considerably disheartened them. They
and their Division have been moved
back from the adrance and it is
thought our Division is to replace it.
Charley Weltner and Bill McCcr
mick were here last night, but, being
teamsters, were not in the fight, and
of course could not tell us about it.
Nieh. Hagar has just arrived, and is
relating his adventures to our boys
who are eager listeners. Col. How
ell is said to have behaved with
coolness and gallantry, but, as they
were powerfully outnumbered, had,
of necessity, to retreat. At present•,
their Regiment is greatly reduced
on account of the wounded and sick.
Lieut. Phillips and all our Jefferson
boys escaped unhurt.
Our Regiment is in good health
and fine spirits, and I have no fear
but that its members will do their
duty. All morning cannon have
been roaring, and our Brigade is under
orders to be in readiness to move at a
moments notice. I supposed that
before this we would be moving
nearer the city, but we are yet in
camp near the Chiekahotniny.
I have just had a talk with Nich.
Hagar. Col. Howell, he says, be
haved as bravely as any man could.
The 85th were surprised—the pickets
being so near that, before the Regi
ment knew what was going on, the
rebels were upon them. Nich. was'
writinga letter when he was startled
by a shell passing over him. Of
course there was "hurrying to and
fro," and they went into the fight
with only about 300 men. Only a
few were killed and not many
wounded in the Regiment. Our old
friend, Estep,is supposed to be a pris
oner. Casey's Division lost 7 cannon
and nearly all their baggage. The
victory is ours by great odds, and,
from the fact that it was our weakest
point attacked by their strongest, is
very consoling to those who are yet
to be tried in the final engagement.
I see, by the papers, that Lieut.
Col. Kane, of the Buck Tails, has
been made a prisoner. He, with
with four companies of Bucktails,
joined Banks, leaving six companies,
under Major Stone, with our Bri-
gade.
The cannonading is still going on
heavily and rapidly. Our boys are
taking it all rather indifferently—
some playing cards, some joking
over the heavy roar of artillery, &c.,
and talking about making prepara
tions for attending the "Ball" which
is soon to come off. They talk of
McClellan being the one who will
call the figures, while Capt. Stoy is
to conduct the musical part of the
affair. ‘.
Hood, Estle, Pratt, Smith, Aleck,
Sol, Neddy, Jack Bell, &e., are all '
well. We sent you a group which I
hope reached you safely. Captain
Bailey is in fine health, and is still
commanding the "Rangers," his com
mission as Major not yet having
arrived. Kent is now in the company
and will do his duty when taken into'
action.
The weather is most intensely hot,
and we do not expect to have any
very long marches soon, on account of
the obstructions in the way. What
day or what hour the battle is to be
fought is not known to us. Skir
mishes and artillery firing is quite
frequent, but the big - fight is yet to
come.
To what point of the army our
-Division is to go I know not; whetll
er to the right, let, or ceiotre. Some
think we are to replace Caw, MO
as yet we have received no amigo
ment to any point.
For the present, I 'must close.—
Doubtless, in a few days, we will be
called upon to measure our steel
with a powerful foe. Remember me
to all my old friends, &c.,
Yours truly,
J. L. INGHRAM.
,'The Chickahotniny was the stream
which Captain John Smith was exploring
when he was captured by the warriors of
Powhattan. It is believed he was captur
ed somewhere near the scene of the
late battle. It will be remembered that
Smith, as now, noted for marshes. Smith
its banks were, in the days of John
was mired in a swamp, when the savages
pounced upon him.

DIED, May 25th, 1862, of Ulceration of
the Bowels, Mr. CEPHAS HATFIELD, aged
33 years.
The subject of this notice had been, at
times, afflicted for several months past.—
His friends, however, did not apprehend
serious results from the disease. On the
day previous to his death, he was, as
usual, engaged with his team in hauling.
Towards the close of the day he was com
pelled to give up his work. He suffered
on till Sunday night, about 11 o'clock,
when be bid farewell to all earthly toil,
and expired.
Mr. H. was not connected with any
branch of the Church. In a conversation
with his companion since, she informs me
she has a hope of his happiness.
At his request, he was buried with the
honors of Masonry on the 27th. Tha
writer preached a funeral sermon on the
occasion, to one of the largest congrega -
gations I ever saw on an occasion of the
kind. He has left a widow, young in
years, to mourn his sudden death. May
God sanctify this for her good, and sus
tain her by his Divine grace.

W. P. MILBSIIA.I.L,
NO. 87 WOOD BTEET,
Match 19th, 1862. PITTSBURGH. PA.,
NOT a few of the worst disorders that afflict man
kina arise from the corruption that accumlates In
the blood. Of all the discoveries that have been made to
purge it out, none have been found which could equalt
in effect AVER'S COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARUU.A.
It cleanses and renovates the blood, instils the vigor of
health into the system and purges out the humors which
make disease. It stimulates the healthy functions of
the body and expels the disorders that grow and rankle
in the blood. Its extraordinary virtues are not ye
widely known, but when they are it will no longer be
a question what remedy to employ in the great variety
of afflicting diseases that require an alterative remedy.
Such a remedy, that could be relied on, has long been
sought for, and now, for the first time, the public have
one on which they can depend. Our space here does
not admit certificates to show its effects But the trial
of a single bottle will show to the nick that it has vir
rues surpassing anything they have ever taken. Suf
ferers from Scofula, Scrofulous Swellings and Sores,
try it and see the rapidity with which it cures. Skin
Diseases, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Eruptions, 4-c.,
are soon cleaned out of the system.
St. Anthony's Fire, Ross or Erysipelas, Teller or
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Rinzworsh, 4-c., should not
be borne while they can be so speedii cured by AYAM's
SARSAPARILLA.
SyybiAs or Veartraf Disease is expelled from the sys
tem by the prolonged use of this SAROAPARILLA, and
the patient is left as healthy as if he had never had
the disease.
Female Diseases are canted by Scrotal in the blood,
and are generally soon cured by this EXTRACT op San-
BAPARILL.A. Price 1$ per battik, or 6 bottles fors $.
For all the purposes of a family physic, take Avast'd
CATHARTIC PILLS, which are everywhere known to be
the best purgative that is offered to the American Peo
ple. Price, 25 cents per Box. or 5 BOXOd for 81.
