In Plriiadelphia-On George'B Hill
A Glance of Fire Hoars at the
Centennial Exhibition on Open
ing Day.;,
If, eer tbere was a gathering on Ibe
American Cootineut to equal Ibe gath
ering at Philadelphia last Wednesday,
on the occasion of tbe ceremon.al open
ing of tbe Centennial Exposition, it
must bare taken place in pre-historic
time. Who knows who lived here
when the pyramids in Egypt 4,000
Tears are were built Who knows
that just such jubilees did not take
place on the bank of tbe Schuylkill,
under tbe civilisation of tba days o
4,000 years ago. Four thousand yeais
hence, who will know of tbe first Ceo
tcuoial show that the nations of tbe
world have joined ns in honor of tbe
one hnndiedtb year of tbe Kepnblie of
tbe United State of America.
Tbe wiliest and most learned sigh
over the realization that tbe vast limit
less past is a blank to ns all. . With
tbe exception of t few historical books
that relate chiefly to mars, for plase ;
for and against religions ; of tbe rise
and fall of individuals, of families, of
dynasties, and of the conquests of
mtions ; there is nothing to tell of
the pursuits of tba people generally,
and the inner ways of tbeir every-day
life, of tbe things, ways and pursuits
that most interest a people whose pol
itics, religion, and social system are
organized as here in tbe great Ameri
can Republic. Bat while the far off
vista of the past narrows down to a
blank, tbe world is living in a certain
knowledge of tbe fact that the Yankee
nation of the American Republic is
celebrating its one hundredth birth
year at Philadelphia, now.
Philadelphia,
on tbe mortiiog of tbe Centennial Ex
hibition openiDg day presented an
unique appearance, and as we rode
down Market to Third street the im
pression that tbe whole town was in a
flutter, fluttering in sea of fluttering
flags, could not be suppressed ; it was
.self-evident.
Tbe pavement were crowded with
people. Tbe street were thronged
with vehicle of every description. Tbe
horses that drew them were bedecked
in flags, and bunting floated from the
top of almost every carriage, cart, and
street car. Tbe street seemed a mass
of flags that were dashing hither and
thither in a jig dance in honor of tbe
day. From windows and doorways,
up from tbe rave to tbe eave of
houses flags of all nations on this earth
floated lazfly and seemingly wttb reluc
tance after tbe rain that bad subsided
in the early morning of that day, and
tbe storekeepers insido of tbeir houses
were Lke the Bags, disposed to flutter
Tbey attended to customers with an ab
stract air, rolling their eyes street
wards, t) the customers, and thence to
the goods. It was plainly evident tbat
the Centennial opening day bad struck
the business of Philadelphia with
ieeling of unrest. Tbe stately whole
rale houses closed their doors one by one,
and by 9 o'clock moat of tbe business
bouses of that elaas were as silent and
majestic in quijtacs as on tbe Sabbath
day.
By 9 o'clock the streets were filled
with multitude of surging people tbat
iieemed to have neither beginning not
end. It is worth one's while once in a
lifetime to get out into such a moving
stream of human kind, and be borne
along in its surging tide full five miles,
as we were, from Third street to the
Centecnial grounds. It was full II
o'cloek when we reached the bow
ground. Tbe inauguration ceremonies
bad been opened long before, and if we
bad desired to avail cut self of tbe ten
dered means for a plaee on the plat
form, it was then too late, for tens of
thousands of people intervened, and
every available space was densely
packed, but we were in accord with tbe
spirit of tbe people. It was cot a de
sire to witness ceremony that bad col
lected the masses. Tbe American peo
ple are year by year realizing more
definitely tbat there is nothing in cere
mony, further than a mean of organi
zation, consequently tbe vast multitude
being not directly connected with tbe
organisation that was managing the ex
hibition, cared nothing whatever for the
ceremony, and turned to sight-seeing.
Passing around tbe exhibition enclo
sure t
George's Dill,
we found tavasaBde of people assem
bled there, looking eastward, feasting
tbeir eye on a pictuie of exceeding
beauty. Tbe Centennial grounds lie
close np tbe bill, and while they are
large they seemed small in comparison
to tbe vast plain . of floating flags
on house-tops of the oitv tbat
stretched aix miles to the front and as
many wiles ea.cn way to tbe right and
left beyond the Schuylkill river. The
plain of bonnes seemed to join with the
Jersey hills east of tbe city, and tbe
hills seemed to touch the clouds, tbat
were then rapidly breaking and letting
in a flood of sunlight on everything
tbat'for days before had been bathed in
rain.
Whew you go to Philadelphia and
visit the Centennial grounds, do not
iniss George's Hill. We got over the
thrill that view of tbe general picture
imparts, and beauties and individual
objects appeared more distinct.
Tbe eye come back from it distant
wandering and looks down immediately
in front at an easy and pleasant angle,
on tbe great Exhibition in honor ot the
one hundredth year of tba Yankee Re
public. We eta uke but a
.- Glancb . .
at it, fur time on tbat day was precious,
and if there had been an abundance of
leisure to particularize on one thing,
the crowd was so great and rushing in
its inclination that ooe would have been
elbowed too much to look minutely.
Can it be, tbat within the triangular
shaped enclosure of two hundrei and
thirty-six acres, dotted over by some
one hundred and eighty buildings of all
shapes and sizes, the whole of tbe civi
lized world is exhibiting it present
stage of progress in mechanics arts, fine
arte, and all things that relate to tbe com
fort, wealth, and general well-being of
the people generally. Such is tbe ease.
Tbe world in miniature lie in your
presence wben you stand on George'
Hill, all enclosed within 230 seres.
It was a place on which we eould
bave spent the day, looking and listen
ing ; but we hurried down, around to
the main entrance, where troups of
men and boys were mingling with tbe
crowd, - shouting, w Here's your fifty
cent note for sixty cents. You must
bave a fifty eent note to get into tbe
grounds. Two twenty-five eent notes
won't let you in, and they make no
change at tbe gates." It was true, as
tbe toys said, people who sought ad
misssion bad to bave an even half dol
lar paper or silver pieee to get in. The
management would not take two twenty
five cent pieces or make change. Loud,
loog and frequent were tbe sayings
against the management foraucb a course
of action, and louder and longer and
more frequent was tbe condemnation of
tbe management for allowing a crowd
of fellows to offer publicly to shave tbe
people at the rate of 20 per eent for
changing tbeir money so that tbey eould
get into tbe enclosure. We bad been
informed of the fifty eent rule of ad
mission, and were prepared with a fifty
eent note, which left us inside the plaee
of civilized wonders, without trouble.
There were two powerful restraints on
an individual within the enclosure to
keep him from going where be pleased :
first, tbe crowd, and second, the closed
buildings, the opening of which only
awaited tbe conclusion of tbe opening
eeremony tbat was going on in front ot
Memorial Hall. Here aga:n the kiod
tender of tbe Board of Finance might
bave aailed U3 in getting into tbe
closed buildings, but we desired to be
outside till the throng went in, and
then pass through on its rushing cur-1
rent. Me did not taunter about the

ibatdid not seem American. How.
ever, we took a seat at a table, and
soon a man came to us, dressed in what
certain people call society domes, in
a swallow-tad coat, white neck-tie, &.,
and pefore be addressed us we did not
feel quite certain tbat be was not a
French dancing master. He said, Vot
you bave do eat !" Tbe bill of fare
being in French, we could not read it,
and ausweied, "What bave you !" "Ve
gets you vot you voot, if you vait
We told toe polite man, for we were
much pleased with him, or rather witli
bis ways, that we could not wait, but
were tired enough to sleep if w had a
lounge, wben be cborussed in, " Ve got
no lounge, but ve got sometiog do eat."
We both understood the situation by
and by, and be brought us a piece of
veal, a potato, done in a peculiar way,
bread and butter, and coffee. Tbe po
tato was tough, tbe veal was done bet
ter than any Lhit we ever ate before,
and the coffee ru only sucb as a
Frenchman can make, and tbe bread
and butter was tf the best Pennsylva
nia quality. Wben tbe repast Fas par
taken of, we asked for tbe bill. Uur
waiter took out a lead pencil and fig
ured it out on tbe white table cloth
tbat was close enough in its texture to
make figuring on it practicable on a
space as large as a man's band, ejacu
lating as be did it, thus, " Von veal,
von botato, von bread and buttah, von
coffee, no vine 80 cents.
An American, who, perhaps, hails
from New England, saw our waiter fig
uring on tbe table cloth, and was so
struck with it that be shouted to a com
panion, "Look ! Look ! Heavens ! how
extravagant tbat fellow is ! See bow
be writes on the table cover ! These
mark will never wash out." Tbe
Frenchman bad manner enough to not
mind tbe observation of tbe American.
A number of State bsve buildings
tbore. Mississippi baa a building near
tbe foot of George's Hill, witbra tbe
enclosure, of course, that attracts, per
haps, more attention for people that
walk that way than any other of tbe
Mate buildings. It is built of bark
brought from tbe woods of that State,
in a pleasant style of architecture. The
inside is lined with pine boards also
from tbe woods ef Mississippi. Tbe
cornice, window sad doors were fes
tooned with Southern moss ; but every
third wan who came along was boot
enough to take a piece ot moss, and
tbe eousequence could easily be fore
seen, tbat in a day or two all of the
moss decorations of tbe lower windows
and doora would be transferred to tbe
pockets of tbe sight seers who might
drop tbat way. In the neighborhood of
tbe Mississippi bouse, Japan baa a build
ing that is handsome, aud baa a style of
architecture tbat is its own. If we
were a millionaire and kept chicken,
we would have onr chicken coops built
after the styia of architecture of the
Jspauese bouse. Tbe California tree,
that created such a flood of remarks
and collected such crowds to railway
stations along which it passed on it way
trow California, is not a great way from
tnia neighborhood, but is not yet in
(.osiiien, and in passing by it we noticed
a man busily engaged im aouatiag tbe
yearly growths ou one of the larger
pieces. Also in that same range is the
Catholic Total Abatiaecoe Fountain,
wbicb waa drawing forth the attention
of great crowd. But while tbe two
hundred thousand people were mov
ing about seemingly eagerly intent
in looking at tbe many attractive build
ings and objects to be met with on
every band, tbey were evidently wait-
tag for tbe ending of the ceceuonies of
the oeoaeroa, when the eaief buildings
would sjt be thrown open to tbe pablie.
By mmi by the time east that tba
oeremooart procession passed through
the Mate Building into Machinery Hall,
aud tba ceremonial opening was com
pleted, and tbe streams of humankind
passed through those storehouses of
wonderful collections of the things con
ceived by tbe mind, and fashioned by
tbe band of man.
Tbe visitor can scaroelv realise the
fact wben be steps on tbe threshold of
tbe last mentioned building, tbat be is
entering a house that is 1402 feet long,
3G0 feet wide and 70 feet high, and
covers 14aoreaof ground, and tbat it
contains an engine in the centre of it
tbat runs the eight miles of machinery
tbat is under it roof. He is amazed,
dazed, at tbe wonderful collection,
and rushes through it with a con
fused sense of the power of the ue
ohanical skill tI the people of tbe
world. He steps over to tbe Main
building, fairly reeling with weariness
tbat comes with not being able to grasp
in detail tbe mechanical wonders that
be baa seen, and on its threshold be in
voluntarily asks himself, bow is it here I
and as he penetrates ita depths in a
rush, as a man can only be burriad
along as tbe fractional part of a body
of two hundred and fifty thousand peo
ple, the number that day within the
enclosure, be exclaims, A wilderness
of wonders !" He is traveling through
a bouse tbat is 1880 feet long, 464 feet
wide and 70 feet high, and covers 21 1
acres of ground. American exhibitors
bave five aeres for tbeir good iu this
bouse.
We met merchant John Kirk, John
Graybill and wife in a groupe in that
building. The Raluations of the day
were passed and they were lost to us
in the endless crowd. It was with a
feeling of relief that we stepped oat
of the house near the east end. The
green of the grass, even the grey of
the asphalt walks was a relief for
the eyes that had been so wearied
with efforts to catch as mnch as pos
sible of the collection of valuables
on the hasty passage through the
nave of the building. After a mo
mentary rest, Memorial Hall or Art
Gallery was entered. This building
is 3C5 feet long, 210 feet wide and
59 feet high. It contains statuary
of all kinds, from the model physical
man and woman, naked as when
born, to heroic historical characters
with whom and of whose exploits the
student reads. There are pictures,
which, if placed in a row one against
another, would extend miles away.
lectures of all lands, from Pome
thins chained to a rock down to the
commonest subject, pictures of naked
men and women, beautiful landscapes
and pictures of historical events. In
this hall the same ceaseless tramp
and push that greeted one everywhere
else hurried one always, and the re
collection of it is as of some beauti
ful indescribable dream.

Such an exodus of people can scarce

closure when it rained. Every place
was full of them, and if they could
have taken wings they would have
darkened the light, so numerous were
they. Men offered as mnch as two
dollars for a ride to the city in a cov
ered wagon, and thus ended our five
hours glance at the Centennial show.

The Lost Cause Not Lost.
In Charlotte, X. C, on the 10th inst.,
a Republican district convention aat
aud transacted such business as is usu
ally done in political oonventicua. Tbe
rebel element of that community held
a meeting at tbe same town on the same
day. Theirs waa not an impromptu
meeting ; arrangement bad been per
fected days before. Tbe orator of the
occasion was S. Taylor Martin. ' His
effort was strongly in favor of a restor
ation of slavery, and foil ofprediction
that tbat institution will before loog be
restored. The following are a few speci
men paragraphs :
" It is with mingled feelings of sor
row and satisfaction that I to-day recall
tbe issues of 1860 and 1961 We all
mourn tbe loss of our glorious dead and
heroio fallen. Tbe South is to-day
ruled over by the miserable thrall of
Yaukeedom; but they cannot muzzle onr
chivalry and patriotic devotion to the
lost cause. We fiagfct for our rights,
but in God'a dispensation w are now
vanquished but not cowed."
" Slavery was a divine institution,
and we must bave tbat institution or tbe
South will ever be bankrupt. Tbey
spoal ef our erfose as the' 'lost cause.'
If , shall it be Joel fcretef! No?
A sew feneration has sprung up, and
at a not far distant day there, will be

our surrey SouthJ In the aelt politics
campaign we must, even if in the mi
nority, support a Southern man who
will build up our inteteata and hurl the
Yankee pickpockets from our midst
We are to-day united to tbe Puritanical
boat by an artificial tie but we are a
distinct people, and God aud the right
will enable us to show tbe world the
truth and tbe equity of our, claims.
Oor statesmen now in Congress are tbe
cream of tbat body, and are tbe only
element that reflect - credit on tbe
United State. I it not better to hang
on to tbe 'lost cause' than to stay in a
government of corruption ?" .
The Opening of the Centennial
Exposition.
Last Wednesday, tbe 10th da of
May, A. D. 1876, tbi first Centennial
Exposition of the- United State of
America was opened in Philadelphia to
tbe public The eeremony of the open
ing of the World's great show of tbe
industries of every day life was com
menced about half-paH tea o'clock,
when the President of the United States
of America Presidont Grant appear
ed on tbe ground at tbe bead of a pro
cession of representatives of govern
ments of the world fiom Oriental,
European, North and South American
nations officers of the Government of
the Republic and citizen soldier. Tbe
President and suite were welcomed by
Gen. Hawley, President of tbe Cen
tennial Commission, and Mr. John
Welsh, President of the Board of Fi
nance, and formally received and con
ducted to chair on the platform of the
aoutb frout of Memorial Hall, where
the President was to preside over tbe
ceremonies of the oscasion.
A ih" President was being escorted
to bis seat, the orchestra took up
' U agner's Centennial inauguration
March," for the composition of wbicb
the author received $5,000. A vast
multitude had assembled there to see
and to bear.
General Hawley introduced tbe Right
Kevereod Bishop Simpson, of the M
E. Church, who delivered the opening
prayer. At tbe eonclusion of the
prayer the American Poet, Whittier's
Centennial Hymn was sung by the
grand chorus, 1,000 voices of tbe Cen
tennial choral society. The words of
the bymn are a follows :
Our fathers' Mod ! from out whose hand
Tbe ceuturies full like groins of sand,
We meet to-daj, united, free.
And loyal to our land and Thee,
To thank Thee fur tbe era done.
And trust Thee for tbe opening one.
Here where of old, br Thy design, j
The father spake that word of Thiira
Whose echo is the glad refrain
Of reoded bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time from all
The aones of earth our guests we call.
Be with us while the New World greets
The Old World thronging all it streets,
Unveiling all the triumph won
By art or toil beneath the sun ;
And unto common good ordaia
This rivaJsbip of hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furled
The war tttgs of a gathered world,
Beneatn our Western skies fulHIl
Tbe Orient's mission of good win,
and, freighted with Love's gulden fleece.
Send back the Argonaut of peace.
f 'or art and labor met In trace.
For beauty niade the bride of use.
We thank Tbee, while withal we crave
The austere virtne strong to save,
l ne honor proof to place or gold.
Tbe manhood never bought or sold.
Oh ! make Thou us, through centuries long.
in peace secure, in justice strong
Around our gift ol freedom draw
Tbe safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And cast in some diviner mould,
Let the new cycle shame the old.
At the close Mr. John Welsh, Presi
dent of the Board of Finance, then
formally presented the buildings to Gen.
Jos. B. Hawley, President of tbe Cen
tennial Commission. At the close of
tbe address tbe chorus sang tbe follow
ing cantata :
From this hundred-terraced height,
Sight more large with nobler light
Kanges dowa yoa towering years ;
Humbler smiles and lordlier tears
Shine and fall, shine aud fall,
While old voices rise and call
Yonder where the to-and-lro,
Weltering ot my Long-Ago,
Stoves about the moveless base,
Fsi below my reattug -place.

Trembling Westward o'er yon balking sea,

Fever cries: "Ye bain ; away '."
Hunger cries: "Ye starve; away!"
Vengeance cries : Your graves shall

Framed like Faiths or clothed like Kings
Uboats ot ttoodt once fleshed and fair,
Grown foul Bads in alien air

Tongued with lithe and poisoned swords

All in a windy sight of time
Cried to me from land and aea

Tbf formal presentation ef tbe Exhi
bition to tbe President of tho United
8utes waa then made by Gen. Joseph
B. Hawley, President of tbe Ceoten-
aief Commission, in si speeeb, after
wmth delivery President Grant pro
claimed tbe International Exhibition of
1976 open to the; world. He spoke as
fallows: '
.Vy Countrymen .-It has been thought
appropriate, upon this Centennial oeoa
sun, to bring together in Philadelphia,
for popular inspection, specimen of our
attainments in tbe industrial and fine
arts, aud in literature, science, and
philosophy, as well as in the great busi
ness of agriculture and of commerce.
Tbat we may the more thoroughly
appreciate tbe excellencies and defi
ciencies of our achievements, and also
give emphatic expression to our earnest
desire to cultivate tbe friendship of our
fellow members of this great family of
nations, the enlightened agricultural,
commercial, and manufacturing people
of tbe world have been invited to send
hither corresponding specimens of their
skill to exhibit on equal terms in friend
ly competition with our own. To this
invitation they bave generously re
sponded ; for so doing we tender tbem
our hearty thanks.
The beauty and utility of tbe contri
butions will this day be submitted to
yonr inspection by tbe managers of this
Exhibition. We are gUd to know that
a view ef epecinaens of tbe skill of all
nations will afford to' you unalloyed
pleasure, as well as yield to you a val
uable practical knowledge of so many
of tbe remarkable results of tbe won
derful skill existing in enlightened ootn
muoiiies. One hundred years ago our country
was new and but partially settled. Our
necessities bave compelled up to chiefly
expend our means and time in felling
forests, subduing prairies, building
dwellings, factories, ships, docks, ware
houses, roads, caoals, machinery, etc,
etc Moat of our schools, churches,
libraries, and asylums bave been estab
lished within an hundred yeara. Bur
dened by these great primal worka of
necessity, which could not be delayed,
we yet have done what this Exhibition
will show in tbe direction of rivaling
older and more advanced nations in law,
medicine, and theology ; in science, lit
erature, philosophy, and the fine arts.
While proud of what we bave done, we
regret thai we bave not done more.
Onr achievements have been treat
eooUeb, however, to make u easy for
our people to acknowledge superior
merit wherever found.
And now, fellow-citixsns, I hope
careful examination of wbat is about to
be exhibited to you will not only in
spire you with a profound respect for
tbe skill and taste ot our mends front
other natious, but also satisfy you with
the attainments made by our own peo
ple during the past one hundred years,
I invoke your generous en-operation
with tbe worthy cotamissioners to secure
a brilliant success to this International
Exhibition, and to make tbe stay of
our foreign visitors to whom we ex
tend a hearty welcome botb profitable
and pleassnt to them.
1 declare tbe International Exbibi-
I tion now open.
After the declared opening, the Pres
ident and attending procession passed
through Main Building and into Ma
chinery Hall, where tbe large engine
tbat bas power to run tbe miles of ma
chinery was put in motion by tbs Presi
dent under tbe directions of Mr. George
U. Corliss, the inventor and builder of
the engine. And thus the World's
Show in honor of tbe ooe hundredth
birth year of the Bepublie was opened.
The Mollj Magoires.
The revelations in tbe Polt&ville
murder trials combine to render credi
ble tbe existence of a secret order of
assassins wbioh is said to bsve figured
bloodily in tbe Old Woild in medieval
times. Whatever may have been the
original object of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, of which the Molly Ma
guires are said to Le part and parcel,
it is certain that tbe fruits of tbe order
as exemplified in the mining region are
evil, and tbat only. The origin of the
Order leads to the belief tbat its ob
jects were chiefly political ; but there
seems to be no reason for tbe existence
of tbe Order outside of Ireland. It n
certain that neither honest labor nor
capital can afford to contribute any
thing toward ita maintenance in this
eountry. Tbe objects and transactions
of tbe Order in tbe mining regions
seem to relate to the creation of a com
munity of desperadoes with wboni to
bave killed a man is highest commend
ation. It is hardly possible tbat this
dangerous combination can actively
exist in tbe ligbt of tbe revelations now
brine made bv McParlan. But sucb of
us as are rather eager to lay the blame
of Ireland's woes upon England may
now suspect, at least, that there are two
sides to the old, old story. Even the
Vendetta, and the blood-fends between
tbe North American tribea furnish
nothing in the nature of ingrained sav
ageism more extraordinary than per

Tbe St. Louts Time (straight Dem.)
is not particularly clamorous in its
eagerness for a repetition of a cheating
campaign in 1876 such as its party eon
ducted in loiz witn ureeiev as a
"Democratic candidate. Seeing a re
production of that disastrous swindle
and joke in tbe eurrent talk about nom
inating Judge David Davis st St Louis,
the Timet bas this to say about that
project : MIf a fat man is wanted Judge
Davis i tbe man the occasion calls for.
But we eannot eall to mind now any
other overpowering qualification be is
possessed of." Which is rough on
Davis.

All For Lovs. Tbere is a kind
hearted old woman who lives in Louis
ville, and she passes her time ia tbe
streets on tbe lookout for ladies whose
skirts are coming down. Sometimes
ber anxiety leads her aa'ray, and she
sees in imagination skirts falling which
are really perfectly secure. But she
sweetly say all tbe same, "My dear,
your skirt is falling ; if you step into
this doorway I will pin it for you."
LaJies in general object to falling skirts
in tbe streets ; the very thought is a
tenor, and when so approached, are
very apt to go into the doorway with.
out looking as to the truth. When
there tbe kind old woman tel Is the wo
man she is so kind to, a pretty story of
her nice borne, g ves a suggestion that
she is well off in the world's goods,
and that ahe wanted to fix tbe skirts
because th lady's beautiful face re
minded her of her own daughter.
During tbe fixing process the dress is
necessarily bandied, and though tbe
work is awkward it would not of course
do to offer money to tbe nice, well at
tired, kind hearted old lady, who talks
so glibiy of her property. So tbe oth
er lady leaves with gratitude, wbicb is
changed to a somewhat different feeling
when she finds tbat ber pocket has
been cut, and bas gone away with her

Jtolktr nd Danghttrtl
If there is one thing more than another
for which these Pills are so' lamou, it is
their purifying properties, especially their
power of cleansing Ibe blood from ail im
parities, and removing dangerous and sns-"
pended secretions. Universally adopted as
the one grand remedy lor female Curaiitetots,
they aover tail, never weaker tJte' system,

from olisti oeted perspiration, or fnira eatin
or drinking what is unb't for as, thiu disor
dering tne liver and stomach. These organs
must be regulated hT yem wist? tlf be wet?.'
Tbe Pills, if taken jK-torrfhlg' to the printed
instructions, will quickly restore a healthy
action to both liver and stomach, whence"
follow, as a natural eousequence, a good
appetite and a clear head. In the Kast and
West Indies scarce t any other medicine is
ever used for these disorders.
iow im br- Strvr
Never let the bowels be either confined ef
unduly acted upon. It nay appear singu
lar tbat Hollowvr's Pills should be recom
niendeJ for a ru apva Ibe bowels, many
person supposing tha! thev would increase
relaxation. This ia a gral mistake, how
ever ; for these PHIs will iiutuedi.itelr eor-
i reel me liver ana sioj every arna or Dowel
curapiMiQi. in warm climates inonsanus oi
lives have been saved by the nse of this
mcdiciiie, which in all cases gives tone and
vigor to tne whole organic system, however
deranged, health and strength following a'
a matter of course. The appetite, too, is
wonderfully increased by the use of these
Pills, combined in the nse of solid in pre)-'
ereoce to fluid diet. Animal food Is better'
than broths and stews. By removing acrid,
fermented, or other impure humors from
the livsr, stomach or blood, tbe cause of
dysentery, diarrbira, awt other bowel com
plaints is expelled. The result is, that the
disturbance is arrested, and the action of
the bowels becomes regular. Nothing wilt
stop the relaxation of the bowels so quickly
a this floe correcting medicine.
Diriler$ ef the Kidney '
In all diseasea affecting these organs,
whether they secrete too lunch or too liltlo
water; or whether they be- alEictnl with
stone or gravel, or with aches aud pains
settled in the loins over the regions of the
kidniys, these Pills ai'onld bo uken, ac
cording to tbe pri':!iit lirvctio-a, and the
Ointments should be well itoned into the
small of the back at bedtime. This treat-"
ment will give almost immediate relief when
all other means have failed.
fer Stomach eml of Order.
No medicine will so effectually improve
the tone of the stomach as these Pills :
they remove ail acidity, occasioned either
by iutemperance or improper diet. They
reach the liver and reduce it to a healthy
action ; tbey ara wonderfully etScacions in
