And iviadont oft impart.
Thus day by day I pass the spot

Yet: see) no clinkering shadows dark
Steal o'er the scene, nor scarcely mark
A change upon myself.
But 't not "io,"as here 'I gaze-.

Those trees , that high their branches reared,
How short and tiny now ?

That hour was the turning point in the
boy's life._ .If he had harchnecl himself
that night, the next day he woul d p robably
have behaved worse than before, and so on

DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Raving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot or but few
persona to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last thirty
or forty years..
The experience of that long period of active life, sod the
fact of my hating been twice, since 1830. associated with
Dr. P.. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
'period of five years,) enables ens to judge fully of the merits
of his Ole. .
Eli convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the
cure of chronic diseases of whatever - name. and those of
females in particular I have need more of them than all
other medicines. Like every other medl ine, these mast
fail In some instances, but in my hands there has been less
disappointment and more satisfaction in the administration
of this one remedy than - of all others—ita good effects
sometimes quite astonishing me.
If my patient required r safe 'aperient medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's PUla were just the
thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness, or Inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my patient, -the pills were just the thing I
wanted..
IMMT3
If I treated a ease - requiring an examenagegne, the Wil
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation. headache, flushed countenance. or other
difficulties indicating a disturbante of the circulatory and
secretory systems. annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were just the thing 'I Wanted.
Thus, without respect to theaaame a disease mighthappen
to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, particu
lar indications or symptoms arising were al eays most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseasea,. and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which I have need those pills,
should be cured more readily by them than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a greet many
persons should become thirsty from as many different
causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, water, to quencii their thirst.
In conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
the.public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills are ttie only combination I have ever met
`with in my long course of practice that really possess any
thing curative or specific for hick headache.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
T)AIN in the right side, under the edge of
the ribs, increase on pressure; sometimes
the pain in the left side; tl'patient is
rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the. shoulder blade,
ana it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with Joss of appetite and sickness,
the bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the nead is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part._ There is gene
rally
,a considerable lossof memory, accom
, partied with a painN- sensation of having
left undone something which ought to have
been done. A,slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient complains
of weariness and debility; he is easily startled,
his feet are Cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin;
his spirits are low; and although he is satis
fied that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely - summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
,reinedy. - Several of the above symptoms
- attend the disease, but - cases have occurred
