From their wonderful cathartie power, in comparison to their size, people who have not tried them are ag_t 1o suppose that they are harsh or drastic in effect: but suchisnot atall the case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed beinF 50 harmonized and modified, one Ky the others, ds to produce a most sear lin’¥ and thoromgh, vet gemntly and kindly operating, cathartic. . $5OO RReward is hereby offered by the proprietor of these Pellets, to any ckemist who, u&on analysis,~will find in them any calomel or other forms of mercury, mineral poison, or inJurious drug.. . Being el_ltlrol?' vegetable, no particular care is required while: usin;fl them. They ol)crate without disturbance to the constitution, diet, or oocuration.

By an immense practice, extending throughy period of yeurs, having within that time treat many thousand eases of those discases peculiy to woman, I have heen énabled to perfect a most potent and agreeable medicine that meets the indications presented by that class of diseases with positive certainty and exactness. To-designate this natural specific compound, I have named it Aoy

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

The term, however, is but a feebler expression 'of my high appreciation of its value, based upon my.own {)le_rsoxml observation. As a close observer, I have, while witnessing its positive results in the few special diseases incudent to the scparate organism of woman, singled it out as the elimax or crowning gem of my !nedlcnl career. On its merits, as a posi~ ive, safe, and eflectual remedy for this class of discases, and one that will, at all times and under all cireumstances, act kindly and in harmony ‘with the laws which govern the female system, I am willing to stake my reputation as a physician, 'Nay, even more, 80 confident am I that it will not disu‘moint the most sanguine expectations of a singleinvalid lady who uses it for any of the ailments for fvhich I recommend xlt;l that I offer and sell it under A POSITIVE GUARANTER. llf a beneficial etiect is nog experienced by the'time two-thirds of the contents of the bottle are used, I will, on return of the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having been taken according to directions, and the case being one for ywhich I recommend it, i)romplly refand the money paid for it, Had I not the most perfect conndencf inits virtues, I could not offer it'as I do under these conditions; but havs ing witnessed itsitruly miraculous cures in thousands of cascs, K feel warranted and perfectly safe in risking both my reputation and my mouney on its merits. 2a ; :

' The following are among those diseases in which-my Favorite Prescription fhas worked cures, as if by magic, and with:a'certainty never before attained f)y any medicincs Leucorrhma, . Excessive Flowing, Painful Monthly Periods, Suppressions when from unnatural causes, Itreguiarities, Weak Back, Pro= lapsug; or falling of the Uterus, Anteyersion and Retroversion, Bearing Down Sensations, Internal ¥Meat, Nervaus DePrcssion, Debility, Despondency, Threatened Miscarriage, Chronic Congestion, Inflammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sierility, Female Wenkness, and very many other chronic diseases incident to woman not nientioned here. In ‘all affections of this mnature, my Favorite Prescription works gures—the marvel of tho world. ; This medicine I do not extel as g cure-all, but it admirably fuiills a singlca ness of - Ylhrpose being- a most perfect specific in all chronic rfiscascs of the sexual system of woman. It will not disappoint, nor will it-do harm, in any state or. condition,

Thoze- who desire further information on these subjects can obtain it in TiiE PEOPLE’S COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER, a book of over 900- pages, sent, post-paid, on rececipt of $1.50. : It treats minulely of those discases, peculiar to Females, and gives much valuable advice in regard to the management of those affections.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1878.

£ - - - . From a Distinguished Physician. NO single disease has entailed more suffering or AN, hastened the breaklntg up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing the human voice, the mind,ons or more and sometinres all yield to itsdestructiveiufluence. The poison it distributes throughout the system atacks every vital force, and breaks up the most robust of constitutiong, Ignored because but little understood by most physicians, impotently assailed 'by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have little_hope to be relicved of it this side ofthe srave. Itistime, then,thatthe populartreatment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trustworthg. The new and hitherto untried method nd(:})te by Dr. Sanford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE has won my heart H agprovgxl. I believe it likely to succeed when all the usual * remedies fall, because it gtrikes at the root of the disease, viz., the acid(gied blood, whilo it heals the ulcerated membrane by direct'!\ppllcntlon to the nasal pas%ages. Itsaction i 8 based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital forces are too far exl;nusted,musc, in the great majority of cases, cflect cure. { : GEO., BEARD, M. D, NonscorT BLOCOE, SO.

“WINNIE'S FORTUNE. The handsome dining room.in the Mayberry mansion was all a glitter with floods of gaslight.and the gerial glow of fire—for Mr. Josiah Mayberry was a very “queer man,” according to his wife’s opinion, and this fancy of his to have nasty, ashy fires all over his splendid mansion before the weather became cold enough, was one of his “eceentric freaks,” Mrs. Mayberry called it, with a curl of her lip, a toss of the head and a smile, almost, of contempt, directed at the hale, hearty, honest-faced old- gentleman who had married her for her pretty face, ten years ago, when he was an immensely rich widower with his handsome half-grown son for a not very desirable incumbrance. o They were sitfing around the handsome table, discussing their 7 o’clock dinner, with the solemn butler and his subordinate, in silent, obsequious attention—these three Mayberry’s, father, son and the haughty, well-dresss ed lady who was Wearing»mgmggi

frown-ef-displeasure on her-face—a¥ frown she had barely power to refrain froin degenerating inlo a verbal expression of anger, while the servants were in waiting, and which, as the door finally closed on them, leaving the little party alone, burst forth impetuously : : ; _ “I declare, Mr. Mayberry, 1t is too bad! I have gone over the list of invitations you havemade, and to think theré is not one—no, not one—of our set among them, and such a horridlot of people as you have named, is terrible.” $

~ “I told you,didn’t I, Marguerite,that it was my intention to give an oldfashioned dinner? And by that I meant, and mean, to whom it will, indeed, be cause for thankfulness. As to making a grand fuss, and seeing around our table only the people to whomn a luxarious dinner is but an every-day ozcurrence—l shall not do it. And as to the guests of my list being ‘horrid’ and ‘common’ you are mistaken, my dear. None of them have any worse failing than poverty. There is not a ‘common’ vulgar person among the whole ten names on that paper.” ‘ e Mr. Mayberry’s good old face lighted up warmly as he spoke, and Ernest Mayberry’s handsome face reflected the satisfaction and pride which he feit in his father’s views.

Mrs. Mayberry blushed, but said nothing. : : She knew from experience that,kind and indulgent as her husband was, there were times when he suffered no appeal from his decision ; and this was one of these times. “We will have dinner ordered from twelve o’clock, as-it used to be when I was aboy. We will have roast turkey, with cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes -and turnips, boiled onions and celery, all on the table at once.— For dessert, pie, cheeseand cider, and nothing more. Marguerite,shalll give the order to Lorton, or will you attend to it?”

Mrs. Mayberry twisted her diamond rings almost roughly. . - #Oh; don’t ask me to give.such an insane order to him! I have no wish to appear as a laughing stock before my servants, Mr. Mayberry. It will be as severe astrain on my endurance as I am capable of, to be forced to sit at a table with such people as the Hurds, -aud the Masons, and that Thyzra Green and her lame brother, and that little old Wilmington, and his grand-daughter, and——" . Mr. Mayberry interrupted her gents Iy £ : : “Old Mr. Wilmington was a friend of mine before he went to India.— Since he came home with his son’s orphan daughter and lived in such obscurity—comfortable although plain, for Winnie earns enough as daily governess to support them both cheaply —I regard him as more worthy than ever. Ernest, my boy, I shall depend upon you to help entertain our guests, and especially at the table, for I shall have no servants about to scare them out.of their appetite.” =~ .- And Mr. Mayberry dismissed the subject by arising from the table. =

Will Knit 21‘01000 Stitches ina Minute.

“Would I like to go? Obh, dear grandpa, I should! Will we go,do you think ?” The little wizened old man looked fondly at her oyver his steel rimmed glasses. “So you’d like to accept Mr. Mayberry’s invitation to dinner, eh, Winnie? You wouldn’t be afraid of vour old-fashioned grandfavher; eh, among the fine folks of the family? Remarkably fine folks,'l hear, for all I can . remember when Josiah was a boy together'with myself. Finefolks, Winnie, dear, and you think we’d better go?™ : ‘ - “] would likee to go,grandpa, I don’t have many recreations—l -don’t want many, for I think contented, honest labor, is the honestest thing in the world, and the best discipline, but somehow. I can’t tell why, but I do want to go.. I can wear my black cashmere, and you’ll be so proud of me.” : S

“Pround of you, indeed, my child, no matter what you may wear. Yes, we’ll .g()." . 7 { 3 And thus if happened that among the ten guests that sat down at Josiah Mayberry’s hospitable, overflowing Loard that cold, blue-skied day,Winnie Wilmington -and the little old man were two—and two to whom Ernest Mayberry paid more devoted attention than even his father had asked and expected. Of course it was a grand success—all excepting the culd hautedir on Mrs. Mayberry’s aristocratic face, and that was a failure, because no one took the least notice of it, so much more powerful were the influences of Mr. May‘berry’s and Ernest’s courteous, gentlemanly attentions. “I only hope you are satisfied,” Mrs. Josiah said, with what was meant to be withering sarcasm, after the last guest had gone, and she. stood for a moment before the fire; “I only hope you are satisfied—particularly with ‘thie attention paid to that young woman—very unneccessary attention, indeed.” iy :

Mr. Mayberry rubbed his hands together briskly, : “Satisfied? Yes, thankful to God 1 had it in my power to make them forget' their poverty for one little hour. Did you see little Jimmy Hurd’s eyes’ glisten when Ernest giave him the second triangle of pie?

Becafise 1 do love him, you know,with all my heart.” i . “And you are sure it isn’t his money you are after, eh ?” _ She did not take umbrage at the sharp question. “I am at least sure it isn’t my money Ernest is after, dear grandpa,” she Winnie returned, Jaughicg and pat‘ting his cheek. ' : “Yes, you are at least sure of that; there, I hear the young man coming himsélf. Shall I go?” - It was the “young man himself,” Ernest Mayberry, with a shadow of deep trouble on his face as he came straight up to Winnie and took her hand, then turning to the old gentleman, he said: .

“Until an hour ago I thought this woduld be the proudest, happiest hour of my life, for I should have askgd you to give me Winnie for my wife. Insteaﬂ, 1 must be content to only tell you how dearly I love her,and how patiently and hard I will work for her to give her the home which she deserves—because, Mr. Wilmington, this morning the house of Mayberry & Thurston failed and both fan ilies are beggars.” i llis handsome face was pale, but his eyes were bright with a determination and braveness nothing could daunt. ' > Winnie smiled back upon hif, her own cheeks paling. “Never mind, Ernest, on my aceount; I ean wait, too.” : oOld Mr.-Wilmington’s eyes were almost shut bereath the heavy frowning forehead, and a quizzical 100 k was on his shrewd face as he listened. : “Gone up, eh? Well, that’s too bad. You stay here and tell Winnie I amr jusp as willing she shall be your wife when you wanb her, as if nothing had happened, because I believe you can earn bread and butter for both of you, and my Winnie is a contented girl. I’ll hobble up to the office and see your father; he and I were boys together: a word of sympathy won’t come amiss from me.” : ' ~And off he strode, leaving the lovers alone, getting over the distance in remarkable time, and presenting his wrinkled, weather-beaten:old face in Mayberry & Thurston’s private office, where Mr, Mayberry sat alone, with rigid face and keen, troubled eyes, that : nevertheless lightened at the sight of his old friend. ; “I'm glad to see you, Wilmington. Sit down. The sight of a man who %ai not come to reproach me is a comort.”’ L {

. But old Mr. Wilmington did not sit ‘ down. { ' 5 | He crassed the room to the table at which :Mr. Mayberry sat among a hopeless array of papers. ' : “Thereis no use wasting words,Mayberry, at a time like this. Did you know your son has asked my Winnie to marry him?” + . i Mayberry’s face lighted a second, then the gloom returned. ' | “If my son had a fortune at his command, as I thought he had yesterday at this time, I would say, ‘God speed, you in your wooing of Winnie Wilmington. As it is—for #he girl’s sake I disapprove.” ; ‘ “So you haven’t a pound over and above, eh, Mayberry ?” : “There will be nothing—less than‘ nothing. I don’t know that I really care so much for myself, but Ernest—it is a terrible thing to happen to him l at the beginning of his career.” ~ And Mr. Wilmington smiled gracefully. ' o e “Good. Neither do I care for myself, but for Winnie, my little Winnie. I tell you what, Mayberry, perhaps you will wonder if am crazy, but I’ll agree to settle a quarter of a ‘million on Winnie the day she marries your boy. And I'll lend you as much more if it’ll be of any use, and I’ll start %10 boy myself, if you will but say so. . Mayberry looked at him in speechless ‘bewilderment. Wilmington went on: *“I made a fortune out in India, and it’s safe and sound in hard cash in good hands—a couple of millions. I determined to bring up my girl to depend on herself, and to learn the value of money before she had the handling of her fortune. She has no idea she’s an heiress.— Sounds like a story out of a book, eh, Mayberry ? Well, will you shake hands on it, and call it a bargain?” = .

Mayberry took the little dried up hand almost: reverentially, lis voice hoarse with thick emotion.

“Wilmington, God will reward you for this. May He a thousand fold!” Wilniington winked away a suspicious moisture on his eyelashes. “You:sgee it all comes of that dinner, old fellow. You acted like a gentleman, and between us we'll make the boy and Wannie as happy as they deserve,eh?” o o And even Mrs. Mayberry admits that it was a good thing that her husband gave that dinner, and, when she expects to see Ernest Mayberry an honored guest at her board, she candidly feels that she owes every atom of her splendor and mixn;rx to the vio-lot-eyed, charming girl who wears her own henors with such sweet grace. - Tux Columbia Herald declares that the Senate Chaplain at Harrisburg,

A Campaign Slander. : When Dr. R. V. Pierce was a candidate for State Senator, his political opponents published a pretended analysis of his popular medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice the people against him. His election by an overwhelming majority severely rebuked his traducers, who sought to impeach his business integrity.” No notice would have been taken of these campaign lies were 1t not that some of his enemies (and every successful business man has his ful¥ quota of envious rivals) are republishing these bogus analyses. Numerous and most absurd formulas have been published, purporting to come from high authority; and it 18 a significant fact that no two bhave been at all alike—conclusively proving the dishonesty of their authors. .

The following is from the Buffalo Commercial, of Oct. 23d, 1877: . “Hardly a dozen years ago he (Dr. Pierce) came here, a young and unknown man, almost friendless, with no capital except his own manhood, which, however, included plenty of brains and pluck, indomitable perseverance, and inborn uprightness.— Capital enough for any young man, in’ this progressive’ country, if only he. has good health and habits as well.— He had all these great natural advantages and one thing more, an excellent education. He had studied medicine and been regularly licensed to practice as a physician. But he wgs still a student, fond of investigation and experiment. He discovered, or invented, important remedial agencies or compounds. ‘Not choosing to wait wearily for the sick and suffering to find out (without any body to tell them) that he could do them good, he advertised his medicines and invited the whole profession, of every school, to examine and pronounce judgment upon his formulas; He advertised liberally, profusely, but with extraordinary shrewdness, and with a method whieh is in itself a lesson to all who seek business by that perfectly legitimate means. His success has been something marvelous—so great indeed that it must be due to intrinsic merit in the articles he sells more even than to his unparalleled skill in the use of printer’s. ink. The present writer once asked a distinguished dispensing druggist to explain the secret of the almost universal demand for Dr. Pierce’s medicines. He said they were in fact genuine medicines,—such compounds as every good physician would prescribe forthe disease which they were advertised to cure. Of course, they cost less than any druggist would charge for the same article supplied on a physician’s prescription, and besides there was the doctor’s fee saved. Moreover, buying the. drugs in such enormous quantities, having perfect apparatus for purifying! and compounding “the mixture, he could not only get better articles in the first place,.but present the medicine in better form and cheaper than the same mixture could possibly be obtained from any'other source. : . 1t may be thought that all this having reference to Dr. Pierce’s private ‘business has no point whatever when consideréd in- connection « with .the proper qualifications of a candidate for the Senate. Perhaps. Buf it is the fashion now, and will .be for a fortnight more, with sundry journals, to make sneering allusions to this very matter. After that brief period, they will be quite ready to go on doing his work as before, and as always before, to speak of bim as a great public benefactor. i s L

Discarding Eastern Journals,

A New York correspondent| of the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser, writes as follows: T | sy

“Fhe day of great cizeulation for the New York weeklies, when the Tribune circulated a hundred or two copies in every town in the country, is gone by. Just now they do not answer your question with figures, if you ask what circulation the Weekly T'ribune has.— The big dailies of the West have their big weeklies, which are patronized more than are the New York papers. In them the farmer gets agrieultural items and scraps of home news, and besides the train of thought West of Alleghanies is now separate and distinct, and not in harmony with Bastern views on important questions of the day. The West is becumi{ng mare and more to ‘feel its oats.”” | Every word of this is true. | In very few things indeed are the people of the West- becoming so thq)rough'ly alienated from the East as in/the matter of newspapers. The people of the ‘West, as a'general thing, no longer look upon a few Kastern journals as correct exponents of the dominant public ovinion of the country. The people of the West are capable of thinking for themselves, and their thoughts find expression and circulation through newspapers not surpassed in point-of ability: and enterprise by any in the East. Although dependent in many ways, we are gratified in being able to say. we are not wholly dependent on the East for ev-erythixlg.-éfg untington H erd?d.
