To the Public:
THE public are hereby informed, that
JACOB MILLER has been appointed agent
for Huntingdon county, for the sale of Dr,
Evans' Camomile and family aperient pills,
where all those that need medicine, can be
supplied as he' intends always to have a sup
ply on hand.
T i t IFE AND HEALTH ,— Persons whose
aa nerves have been injured by Calomile,
or excessive grief, great loss of blood, the sup
pression of accustomed discharges or cuta
aeons, intemperate habits, or other causes
Which tend to relax and enervate the ner-
Vous system, will find a friend to sootheand
comfort them, in EVANS' CAMOMILE
Those afflicted with Epilepsy or , 1
ailing Sickness, Palsy, Serious Apoplexy, '
and organic affections of the heart, Nausea,
Vomiting, pains in the side, breast, limbs,
head, stomach or back, will find themselves
. frunedittely relieved, by using
i EVANS' CAMOMILE AND APERIENT
PILLS.
D. EVANS does not pretend to say that
his Medicine will cure all digitises that flesh
and blood are heir to, but he does says that
in all Debilitated and Impaired Constitutions
- -in Nervous diseases of all kinds, particular
ly of the DIGESTIVE ORGANS, and in
Incipient Consumption, whether of the lungs
or liver, they will cure. That dreadful dis
ease, CONSUMPTION, might have been
thecked in its commencement, and disap
pointed its prey all over the land, if the first
symptoms of Nervous Debility had been
counteracted by the CAMOMILE FLOW
ER Chemically prepared; together with many
sither diseases, where other remedies have
proved fatal. ,
How many persons do we daily find tortu
ied with that dreadful disease, SICK 1 1
HEADACHE, If they would only muke
ttial of this invaluable medicine, they would
perceive that life is a pleasure and not a
EnUrce oT misery and abhorrence. In conclu
slon I would warn nervous persong against
the abstraction of BLOOD, either by leech
es, cupping,lor the employment of the lancet.
Drastic purgatives in delicate habits are al
inost equally improper. Those ,are prac-
Picea too often resorted tc in such cases, but
they seldom fail to prove highly injurious.
Pertilicates of cures are daily received which
add sufficient testimony of the great efficacy
flthis invaluable medicine, in relieving af
icted Mankind. The above medicine is for
sale at Jacob Miller's store, Huntingdon.
DR. Swavne's Compound Syrup of pru
nut rit Virginiana or wild Cherry.
This syrup is highly . beneficial in all pecto
ral affections; also, in diseases of the chest
in which the lungs do not perform their
proper office from want of due nervous
energy: such as asthmas, pulmonary con
sumption, recent or chronic coughs, hoarse
ness, whooping cough, wheezing and ;dif
ficulty of breathing, croup and spitting of
blood, etc. How many sufferers do we
daily behold approaching to an untimely
grave, wrested in the bloom of youth from
their dear' relatiiles and friends, afflicted
with that cohanson and destructive rava
ger,
called con*mption, which soon warts'
the miserable sufferer until they become
beyond the power of human skill; it such 1
sufferers would cnly make a trial of Dr.l
Swayne's invaluable medicine, they would
soon find themselves benefitted; than by
gulphing the various ineffective certain
remedies of which our newspapers daily
abound. This syrup immediately begins
to heal the ulcerated lungs, stopping pro
fuse night sweats, mititigating the distres
ming cough at the same time inducing a
'healthy and natural expectoration, also re
sieving the shortness of breath and pain
in the chest, which harrass the sufferer on
'the slightest exercise, and finally the hec
tic flash in the pallid and emaciated cheek
will soon begin to vanish, and the sufferer
will here peccive himself snatched from a
premature grave, into the enjoyment again
of comfortable health.
For sale at Jacob Miller's store Hunt.

A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE.
0! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twi
light's last gleaming?
The long rows of young kulticaulis so
bright,
That set me of quickly-made-fortunes a
dreaming:
The setting sun's glare,
On the dim evening air,
Gave proof that my trees all safely
stno there;
And fondly I hoped tharthe autumn would
see
These mulberry trees make a rich man of
Near the fence dimly seen through the gray
morning mist,
What is that which the grass half conceals
half discloses?
Huge, bulky and dark with an eye like my
fist,
What monster so grim in my garden repo
ses?
Now the morning's first beam,
h'iaws a form rather dim,
And sarely I should be acquainted
with hi%
'Tis my own Durham bull who has broke
froin his stable,
And munched all the mulberry trees he was
able.
And whin 'shall I look for the villainaus
cows
That helped him to work out this foul deso
lation?
Ah ! there go the brutes (having finished
their brouze)
To lie in the shade and enjoy rumination.
But that shall not save them
Ere long I shall have them,
I'll lather with tar: with a handsaw I'll shave
them,
And for aye they'll remember with piteous
moan
They'd better let my multicaulis alone.
And thus be it ever when planters shall
stand,
Defending their trees from the bull's desola
tion,
Armed with handsaw and tar may they res
cue their land
From the onset of bulls and the cow's spoli
ation,
Then conquer they will,
If they manage with skill,
And the blood of the trespassing brutes may
they spill
Ahd the proud multicaulis in triumph shall
wave
When the cows and the bulls are laid low in
the grave.
