"Is the Soldier Disfranchized?" The
Uarrisburg Telegraph, answers the question
Have the soldiers a right to vote 7" in tbe
affirmative, and adds, " that in equity and jus
tice that right is as clearly defined as tbe
right to life and property. Thousands of men
have entered the army, whose interests are at
stake on the character of the Legislature of
the State, and whose whole welfare, perhaps,
depends upon the policy which may be in
augurated by any Legislative action. When
these soldiers enlisted, they had no idea of
loosing their citizenship. When they entered
tbe army, they did not dream of becoming a
liens, shorn of all right, disfranchized and out
cast from a voice in a Government for which
tbey were asked to peril their lives and shed
their blood to sustain. Yet a majority of
Democratic judges of tbe Supreme Court,
bave decided that the law which enfranchizes
the soldier, is unconstitutional that tbe
soldier is to all purposes a slave, so far as
being deprived of a voice in tbe Govern
ment is concerned and that when a man en
lists in the army to fight tbe battles of bis
country, renounces all bis political rights
shuts himself put from all participation in the
control of the Government and surrenders bis
freedom for vassalage to any political trick
sters or demagogues who may. be sufficiently
bold to hold him in oppression.
Tbe law which gives the soldier, absent
from the state, in the service of tbe govern
ment, the right to vote, is otill on the statue
book. We insist therefore that tbe franchise
be extended to every camp containing a com
pany or regiment of men from this State.
We trust that the proper steps will be taken
to Insnre tbe exercise of tbe franchise to the
soldier, in the choice of Congressmen and
members of the Legislature. Those who op
pose tbe extension of this right, are those
who place their plans of success npon the
presumption that the decision of tbe Supreme
Court has disfranchised the soldier. Our Su
preme Court will not bave tbe right to sit in
judgment 'on the returns for Congressmen
and Legislators.
-Thb Coumtt Meeti.no. Pursuant to notice
given, a respectable number of the citizens of
Clearfield county assembled in the Court
House on Monday evening last, and organized
by appointing John W.' Wright, Esq., as Pres
ident; James Irwin, J. B. Hewitt and Philip
Antes, as Vice Presidents ; and Thomas Gra
ham and S. J. Row, as Secretaries.
On motion, Ellis Irwin, II. B. Swoope and
B. Spackman were appointed a committee to
wait on Hon. Louis W. Hall, and request him
to address the people assembled.
Mr. Hall being introduced to the meeting by
the committee, be proceeded to give his views
in reference to our National troubles. , Ilia
remarks were comprehensive, argumentative
and convincing leaving no doubts in tbe
minds of bis bearers as to where be stood in
tbe present great crisis in our Nations histo
ry being ever ready and ever willing to sus
tain the Administration in all its efforts to
crush oat this most wicked rebellion and in
restoring the laws and extending the authori
ty of the Constitntion over all the States of
tbe Union, by every means at its command.
; Mr. Hall having coneluded bis remarks, Mr
Swoope was requested to address the people,
to which be responded in bis usual happy man
ner. After which the meeting adjourned.
Our Candidates. We place at the bead of
columns, this week, the name of Hon. G. W.
Scofield of Warren, as our candidate for Con
gress. - Also, the names of Martin H. Shan
aon of Jefferson county, and Warren Cowlea
of M'Kean County, tor Assembly.
The friends of the Union and the Constitu
tion bave now presented to them State and
District tickets, of good and true men men
in whom tbey can rely on all occasions in this
tbe hour of oar country's greatest peril men
who will stand by our National Administra
tion in every effort to crush out treason and
rebellion, and who will not palliate the offen
ces of the rebels nor aid tbem by pretending
to fight an lmtnaginary political foe.
. We will hare sometbiog more to say in ret.
erenea to our candidates, next week.
Pi iladklphia., Sept. 19. The Committee of
Councils reported yesterday that the number
of volunteers enlisted in this city is thirty-nine
thousand and two bnndred, ' being over ber
quota for tbe two calls of the President, and
that she it entitled to a credit of six thousand
on any future call.
THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC "SXIZZLZ."
After the Herculean labors of the candi
dates and runners of the "Great Democratic
Party" of Clearfield, for some ten days, i
cluding Sunday, and after the profusion of en
ormous posters, printed in the largest type the
office of tbe 'organ' could famish, (that were
to be seen in the most conspicuous places all
over the county) we expected the greatest out
pouring of tbe 'Democratic" masses that was
ever witnessed in our quiet village, on Wed
nesday last, which was fixed npon by Frank
Hughes lor the celebration of the adoption of
the Federal Constitution. In Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, and other places, Frank was o
bliged to postpone fcis celebration, as the peo
ple were too busy in driving the rebel marau
ders from tbe loyal soil of Maryland, to en
gage in tbe manufacture of Locofoco bunknm.
The time of tbe Democratic citizens of Clear
field, bowever, not being thus occupied, a
large number of thorn obeyed the behest of
Hughes, and were promptly on hand
It was a motley crowd. All over the house
we observed familiar faces faces that we bad
seen quite recently among the throng of "halt,
lame and blind" that filled our town for a
week, seeking exemption from the Draft. Tbe
meeting was organized by Dr. R.V.Wilson, tbe
Chairman of the County Committee. Find
ing, doubtless, that he knew more about tbe
"constitution" of bis patients than the Fed
eral Constitution, he cut his remarks short,
after a very considerable display of teeth and
tobacco.
The next Speaker was the Don. G. R. Bar
rett, President Judge of tbe Judical Dis
trict, and an aspirant for the Gubernatorial nom
ination. We supposed that in consequence of
his Judicial position, be would bave the deli
cacy and good taste to decline speaking at a
political meeting; but, be pitched in as ol
yore, ana evinced that he bad not forleited
bis by-gone laurels. He said something about
being in favor of crushing out tho Rebellion
on a Constitutional basis, lie wanted the guns
pointed in a Constitutional way, and only Con
stitutional bullets Bred. He seemed to think,
if a Rebel should be prevented, in an unconsti
tutional manner, from killing a Union soldier,
it would be a terrible catastrophe. In short,
he was exercised exceedingly about infrac
tions of tbe Constitution. Tbe thought of
that sacred instrument being violated, seem
ed to work him into a perfect fever of excite
ment. The perspiration poured from his brow
his arras went through tbe pumping opera
tion with unparalleled rapidity and tbe rail
ing of tbe bar was hardly large enough to con
tain him, as be paced back and forth, venting
his indignation upon tbe sacriligious head of
him who would dare violate tbe least provi
sion of the immortal instrument, even, we
suppose, if by so doing be could save both tbe
Constitution and the Union. Did he forget
that our State Constitution contains the fol
lowing paragraph in the 5tb Article :
Sec. 2. The Judges of the Supreme Court
during their continuance in office shall reside
within this Commonwealth ; and the other
Judges, during their continuance in office,
shall reside in tbe county or district for
which they were respectively elected."
Did he forget that as Judge be swore to sup
port the Constitution containing the above
section ? Did he forget tbat he resides in
Clearfield, and has done so ever since be was
elected, except a single summer season that
part; of bis family boarded in his district
Verily, we think the astute Judge ought to
have been the last man to bare said anything
about the Constitution. If he is so much a
fraid of injury to the Constitution, would it
not be well to get it insured, so that, if by fire
or sword it should be destroyed, it could be
well paid for ?
The next Speaker was the immortal Boyer,
of "St. Mary's Resolution" notoriety. He
was cocked and primed for tbe occasion. It
was only necessrry to say "Abolitionist" to
bringdown the house. But most enthusiastic
was tbe applause, and uprorious the laughter,
when he reached the climax of his chaste and
eloquent oration, and said in ornate and ele
gant language that "tbe present was the danid
"est Administration be had ever seen!"
Loud, too, were the cheers when he proclaim
ed "that there was not a loyal man in the Ro
" publican party !" Terrific" were the shouts
when he announced tbat "the Great Demo-
cratic party had made the country what it
"is." . Verily, we thought, he has told the
truth by mistake. Bieckinridge and Davis,
Floyd and Tancey, Mason and Slidell, Bu
chanan and Wise the very elite of the De
mocracy, are entitled to the credit of making
tbe country what it is. Torn and rent and
bleeding, the execrations of its loyal people,
of every party and of every name, fall upon
tbe beads of these Democratic leaders. , Poor
Boyer, be was not responsible for what be said.
The great celebration was too much for him
be had cocked and primed too often he was
"weak in the knees" long before night, and
when tbe time came for him to deliver him
self, be was not to be blamed for baring pro
duced an abortion.
'Father Test" brought up the "heels of the
hunt" in bis usual style. He went it strong
on tbe past glorious history of "the great
dem-o-crat ic par-t-i-e." He undertook to re
count the facts surrounding tbe adoption of
the Constitution. He avowed bis intention to
vote the "dem-o-crat-ic ticket till he was as
old as Methusaleh." He hadn't anything t
say about crushing out the rebellion nothing
about tbe violation of the Constitution by the
rebels but be was greatly exercised about
what be, in bis legal wisdom, supposed to be
encroachments upon tbat great instrument by
the National Administration. Father Test's
pop-gun makes more noise, than it does ex
ecution , i
- "Our own Bigler" was not at home and,
we presume, didn't want to be. It is, perhaps,
not giving him too much credit for good
sense, to say tbat he was ashamed of the whole
thing. - We think he would acorn to be guil
ty, along with- these small-fry poiiciant, of
carping at the President for what they call in
fractions of the Constitution, when they know
that be is earnestly engaged, by every effort
in bis power, in preserving the sacred in
strument, in vindicating its authority, and
perpetnating its blessings for all future gen-
erations. " .
Wallace, the candidate for State Senator,
was also won est. He was out showing himself
through the district, and managed to stay a
way long enough to avoid the great celebra
thion. Billy is too discreet, to make such an
ass of himself as Boyer. He intends to keep
bia unpopular opinions to himself. He has
been breathing the air of a different latitude
than either Brady or St. Mary', for the last
week or so, and he has found out tbat bis sen
timents need modifying. He's not so excee
dingly consistent, but that he'll trim his sails
to the breeze.
Upon tbe whole, tbe celebration was a great
aflair worthy its orignators thrice worthy
its participants. Wilson and Barrett, Boyer
and Test, what a quartette 1 Teeth and to

Incidents of the Maryland Campaign.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer, writing from Cbambersburg, says a de
serter from Jackson's body-guard escaped to
that place on Friday night. It was Jackson's
purpose, he stated, to invade Pennsylvania.
The cold reception given by the Marylanders
greatly disappointed the rebels who ex
pected fifty thousands recruits, and did not
get five hundred. More than that number of
their own soldiers deserted, and their negro
servants generally ran away.
A detachment of cavalry from Harper's
Ferrvrode up to Williamsport and captured
seventy-four prisoners, having in charge a
train of fifty wagons, laden with spoil. Two
or three of tbe prisoners were Marylanders,
who had taken the oath of allegiance, and
another was no less a person than Cleggett
Fitzhugh, the nephew of the wife of Gerrit
Smith, the celebrated radical abolitionist.
Fitzhngh had just sent his aunt and ber chil
dren North for .safety, prior to joining the
rebels. Fitzhugh has been engaged in business
for Holker Hughes, an exteusive iron monger
of Franklin county, near the Maryland line,
in a township called Quincy. ' He served as
his head clerk. He acquired notoriety as the
man who arrested (in company with Daniel
Logan, a celebrated negro catcher) John E.
Cook, the cq-partner and confrere of John
Brown. Cook had escaped, and, taking to the
mountain ranges, bad kept them until he
had gotton within the lines of this State.
Fitzhngh met him when Cook, exhausted for
want of food, ventured down from the moun
tains to seek it. Meeting Fitzhugh, he gave
him the Masonic sign, which the latter return
ed. Cook at once entered into conversation,
and told him who he was, and his condition,
asking for relief. Fitzhngh told him to come
with him. Logan, at a given sign from Fitz
hugh, seized Cook from behind and being a
powerful man, be held Cook fast. Tbe latter,
a very nervous, active man, who had hunted,
scouted and fought Missouri border ruffians
in Kansas, resisted desperately, and would
bave eluded even Logan's grasp had not Fitz
hugh interfeied with them. The force of two
athletic men was too great for Cook, and he
was brought hither, taken to jail, remanded
by Governor Packer to Virginia and bung.
Logan is said to have often told, as a' good
joke, among bis companions in boon, that
Cook had said to him and Fitzhugh that he
knew he would die, but that they would end
their days on the scaffold. This seems likely
to become true. Fitzhugh is now incarcerated,
and is not a prisoner of war. Logan is now
nnder arrest, and, if justice be done, will be
retained and tried, if not for treason, most
probably for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Cook may have prophesied truly.
.A Common Term Beautifully Defined
An old soldier, in appealing lately to Lis
son to go and fight for the government and
the Union said: "Perhaps you have never
thought what yonr country means. It is all that
surrounds you all that has brought you up
and fed you all that you have loved. This
country that you see these houses those
trees, those girls who go along there langhing
this is your country ! The laws which pro
tect yoa, the bread which pays yonr work,
the words you interchange with others, the
joy and grief which come to you from the men
and things among which you live this is
your country ! The little room where you
used to see your mother, the remembrances
which she has left you, the earth where she
rests this is your country ! You see it, you
breath it, everywhere. Think to yourself of
your rights and duties, your affections and
your wants, yonr past and your present bles
sings ; write them all under a single name
and that name will be your country. , We owe
it all tbat we are, and he who enjoys the ad
vantages of having a free country, and does not
accept the burdens of it forfeits his honor, and
is a bad citizen. Do for your country what
you would do for your father and mother.
Your country is in danger.
Indianapolis, Sept. 10. Adjutant Slawson,
of the 17th Indiana, who escaped from Mom
fords ville immediately after the surrender,was
announced. He reports the garrison number
ing 4,000 to 5,000, comprising the 17th, 60lh,
60th, 67th, 68th and 69th Indiana regiments,
oue company of cavalry ten pieces of artillery.
Tbe surrender was made on Wednesday mor
ning, being completely surrounded by Bragg's
forces, estimated at 30,000. Our loss in kill
ed and wounded is 50. Tbe rebels acknow I
edge tbe loss of 700 on Sunday.
Fletcher Webster, recently killed at Bull
Run, was the oldest son of Daniel Webster.
His younger son was in tbe army in Mexico,
and died in tbe service there. His daughter,
Mrs( Apple too, died some years ago, so that
now there is none left of tbe blood of "Wcb
sters." ; ' " : . "
IMPORTANT WAR NEWS..
Affairs on Tuesday.
Battle Field Three Miles from Boons
boro, Md., Sept. 16, 1862. I paid a visit, this
afternoon, to the battle field ol Sunday, where
the rebels attempted to check our march. The
field is, located upon tbe top of a steep moun
tain on the road to Frederick, Maryland, where
the rebels bad planted a very heavy park of
artillery, in order to sweep our forces if they
attempted to climb the hill. They wonld have
succeeded effectually, if our forces had taken
tbe regular , route, but instead of doing so,
they outflanked the rebels on the left and came
on them unexpectedly, while a great force of
them were lying in a large field concealed be
hind a high stone fence. Here our forces came
on them through the woods, and while tbey
were getting over the fence they were dread
fully slaughtered. I counted myself, in a
space of ten feet square, twenty seven dead
rebels, while the field and the roads were cov
ered with the remains of others. All along
tbe road from the mountain, and even several
miles below Boonsboro, we saw remains of
rebels on the road side. Tbe slaughter must
have been terrible, and the sight of the poor
mortals was most horrible. I hope never to
witness scenes like these again. I wish, some
of your secession sympathizers could have
witnessed the sight, I know it would have con
verted them.
Position on Wednesday.
Battle Field of Keetvsville, 7 Miles to
the Right of Boonsboro', on the Sharps
burg Road, Sept. 17. Early this morning
the booming of heavy cannons announced that
an engagement had commenced between the
forces of Gen. McCIellan and the rebels un
der Gens. Lee and Longstreet, and rebel pris
oners also state that Jackson had evacuated
Harper's Ferry the day before, and arrived
this morning to reinforce them. The regular
cannonading commenced this morning at six
o'clock. The booming of the artillery was
most terrific. Tbe balls were whizzing throngb
the air and their sound had tbe shrill tone of
a locomotive whistle. The rebels replied but
slowly, which was attributed to their waut of
ammunition.
About nine o'clock in the morning a regu
lar musketry engagement took place. You
cannot imagine therapitity with which they
fired, and the slaughter was severe. The
rebels attempted several limes to outflank cur
troops, but they failed in every instance. A
bout half past nine tbe fire was awful, and tbe
rebels began to fall back in terrified disoider.
The rebels had the advantage of position all
day Ihe country on which the fight took place
being very hilly, with deep ravines, tolerably
well wooded. They would always stay in the
woods, and oi:r forces bad to shell them out
or drive tbem back at the point of the bayonet.
At half past eleven the command was given
to charge on the rebels, who were located be
hind a large barn in a piece of woods and
cornfield. Tbe men gave a loud hurrah and
ran up the hill in double quick time. We
could plainly see the rebels fly in disorder.
The rebels were completely driven from tbe
ground, with a loss of not less tb an three thou
sand. Tbe field was literally covered with
the dead and wounded, which were all left in
our bands. It was reported tbat Gens. Hook
er aud Franklin were slightly wounded, but
not to such an extent that they had to leave
the field. A rebel batterj' of eighteen guns
was captured, and any number of rebel flags.
About twelve o'clock an entire regiment of
about one thousand rebels wer taken prison
ers and escorted back to the lines of the cav
alry. A large number of officers were among
them. A rumor was also spread throughout
the camp that Gens. Lee and Jackson were
wounded, but nothing positive could be as
certained. Brig. Gen. Meagher, of tbe Irish
Brigade, is also reported as slightly wounded.
About one o'clock the ambulances came on
tbe battle-ground, and the wounded were re
moved rapidly to tbe different hospitals at
Boonsboro, Uagerstown, and nearly all the
large farm bouses along the route. . I estima
ted tbe wounded and killed at about five thou
sand, but others put tbem at teu thousand. 1
believe my estimate the most correct. I am
satisfied that the rebel loss is three to one in
comparison. Capt. Geo. Brooks, of Harris
burg, of tbe 46th Penn'a, was shot by a min
nie ball in the early part of the morning. The
ball entered tbe top of bis bead, and he lived
about two hours after be received the fatal
wound. He was a brave officer, and bis death
will be mourned by a large number of friends
and relatives. Col. Knipe is safe. The 46tb
suffered very severely; there are scarcely 50
men left in tbe Regiment.
About one o'clock the firing ceased .during
which time our troops laid on their arms,
ready for any emergency. At about two o'
clock tbe heavy guns were again beard in
thundering discbarges. We had a distinct
view of the Union guns, could see the flash of
fire every time.and hear the ball flying through
the air. The rebels were occupying a mound
not two miles distant, and we could plainly
hear the breaking of branches from the trees.
The guns used by our forces were of tbe heav
iest calibre, and the execution must bave been
terrific. The rebel shells done very little if
any injury to our men. A great many fell
short, while otheis passed over tbem, and one
came within fifty yards from where we were
lying on the ground. At four o'clock several
new batteries bad been planted and the posi
tion of others changed. Tbe firing was incessant.-
-
At about five o'clock the rebels made an at
tempt to take one of our batteries, but tbey
were bravely repulsed with heavy loss on
their part. Our forces then charged on a large
piece of woods wbere the rebels were located.
Thla was a most desperate fight, but our men
succeeded and held possession of it last night.
Tbe slaughter was very severe on both sides.
The battle commenced yesterday and our men
made the attack. 1 The left wing was comman
ded by Gen. Burnside, and the right and cen
tre by Gen. Hooker, Franklin aud Mansfield,
all of whom behaved nobly, and ' as I close
this letter? the rebels have been driven some
four mile from the first position with very
heavy loss. We have driven them to the riv
er, cut off their provisions and amunition sup
plies, and have a chance of surrounding them
completely to-morrow. The rebel dead found
on the field seemed short of provision. Their
haversacks were entirely empty, and some of
our men state positively that they fired stones
from theircannon. We also learn direct from
officers of General McClellan's staff, that they
consider an important victory has been gain
ed, and that if the troops now on the march
arrive in time in the morning, the rebels will
be completely routed. M ay God grant such
a resuit.
Hagerstown is filled with troops from Pa.
The streets are lined this evening with batter
ies from Philadelphia. 1 hear tbat Capt. By
ers is here with tbe Dauphin county cavalry
company, but I bave not seen him. They are
to march to Williamsport, to prevent the reb
els from crossing the river at that place, and
I am sure they will be snccessful.
Position on Thursday.
From the Battle Field, Keettsville, Sept.
18. I was on the battle field again this morn
ing. Its appearance beggars all description.
Oarown wounded had been removed from the
field and the dead buried as rapidly as their
last res'ing place could be prepared. The
rebels asked lor an armistic this morning to
take their wounded from the field, which was
granted; and they were slowly engaged in
their removal, but it seemed that they cared
but little for their dead as they were found
lying neglected in every direction. A corn
field and piece of woods were literally cover
ed with dead rebels, The body of Gen.
Evans', a rebel, was found among the dead ;
at least the papers found iu his pocket gave
his name as Evans.
Tbe loss in officers bas been, as csual very
large, and I believe that their uniform dress
had much to do with it. Rebels can tell onr
officers at . a distance while their own can
scarcely be recognized from privates. I am
creditably informed, that General Jackson
dresses as plain as any of his men, and that
he changes his dress daily. Col. Crossdale of
the 128th Pennsylvania volunteers, (new reg
iment.) was killed. Warner, of Reading, who
resigned his office as Mayor of . the city of
Reading, escaped unhurt, and I'have it direct
from an eye witness, that he behaved most
bravely and tbat be led his regiment up to the
enemy most courageously. We met him this
morning in excellent health, and ready again
to face the enemy. Col. McNiel, of the Buck
tails, is among the Rilled. Gen, Mansfield,
an old army officer, was also killed. General
Meagher is badly wounded. Gens. Max We
ber, Donelson, Sedgwick 'and Hooker were
but slightly wonnded the latter in the foot.
General Franklin was not wounded at all, al
though it was positively stated yesterday, that
he had been slightly wounded.
Very I ittle firiDg took place to-day ; both par
ties were engaged in hurrying their dead, and
attending to the woended. The rebels have
fallen back some two miles, and are located
in a piece of woods on elevated ground . Some
little skirmishing took place on the right
wing of our army. Our army is now extend
ed to tbe river on the left and right wings,
and the rebels are completely hemmed in.
They must now cut their way through our for
ces if they wish to escape. I am catisfied that
we are prepared for tbem in any emergency.
Large reinforcements o tresh trocps have ar
rived here. The whole of Banks division ar
rived here this morning. Tbe Pennsylvania
Militia were sent this morning to Williams
port, Md., where they are expected to check
Jackson's retreat. It is also stated that Gen.
Siegel is cn the other side of the Potomac
watching their movements, and I am sure if
he meets the rebels, he will thow shot and
shell into them abundantly.
At about twelve o'clock Gen. McCIellan and
staff rode np to '.he headquarters of Gee. Sum
ner, where he cordially greeted those present,
and after receiving an introduction to the he
ro of the day, we retired. The General en
tered at once into an earnest conversation with
Gen. Sumner. All along the lines where tho
General passed he was greeted with loud
cheers, which he properly acknowledged.
It is impossible to give an accurate estimate
of the .number of killed or wonnded. The
list is very large, but I am satisfied that the
rebels lost at least three to our one. The baf
fle field shows it plainly.

A VER S CATHARTIC PILLS.-The acl-
ences of Chemistry and Medicine have been
taxed the.ir utmost to prodoce this best, most per
fect purgative which is known to man. Innu
merable proofs are shown that riieae Pills have
virtues which surpass in excellence the eriinary
medicines, and that they win unprecedented
upon tbe esteem of all men. They are safe and
pleasant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pen
etrating properties stimulate the vital activities
of the body, remove the obstruction of its organs
purify the blood, and expel disease. They puree
out the fool humors which breed and grow d fa
temper, stimulate sluggish or disordered organs
inte their natural action, and impart healthy tone
with strength to the whole system. Sot only do
they cure the every-day complaints of every body,
but also formidable and dangerous diraaaea that
have baffled the best of human skill. While they
produce powerful effects, they are at the name
time, in diminished doses, the safest aud best
physic that can be employed forchildren. Being
sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take ; and be
ing purely vegetable, are free from any risk of
barm. Cures have been made which surpass be
lief were tbey not substantiated by men of such
exalted position and character as to forbid the
suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergymen
and physicians have lent their names to certify
to the jmblic the reliability of our remedies,
while others have sent me tbe assurance of their
conviction that onr Preparations contribute im
mensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis our American Almanac, containing direc
tions for the use and certificates of their cures, of
the following complaints:
Costiveness, Bilious Complaints, Rhenmntism,
Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising from a foul
stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of
the Bowels and Pain arising therefrom, Flatulen
cy, Low of Appetite, all Diseases which require
an evaeuant medicine. They also, by purifyii
the blood and stimulating tbe system, cure many
complaints which it would not be supposed they
could reach, such as Deafness. Partial iilindnes,
Neuralgiaand Nervous Irritability. Derangements
of the Liver and Kidneys, t-iout. and other kin
dred complaints arising from a low state of tbe
body or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with
some other pill they make more profit on. , Ak
for Ayer's Pills, and take nothing else. No oth
er they can give you compares with this in its
intrinsic value or curative powers. The sick want
the best aid there is for them, and they should
have it.
