Schenek’s Mandrake Pills

will be found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of all billons attacks, prompt to start the secretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have, invented a remedy lor these stnbbom complaints, which develop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by munkind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certain vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputable by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs”nnd roots of the fields. These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious derangements without salivation or any of the iniurious effects of calomel or other poisons.

Mr. Editor: In every city, town and hamlet in the land may be found some feeble person unable to perform hard labor; some man or woman that delights in visiting the sick and ministering to their wants, some local preacher not fully occupied, or some unoccupied person who would like to add a little to their present income—and I want some such person in every place where I have no agent to sell a Medicinal Extract made by the Shakers, which lias proved of such signal service in the cure of those longstanding diseases that prevail in all parts of our country, and which have heretofore resisted all kinds of medical treatment. .Your columns for October contained a very flattering notice of the Shaker Extract of Roots, under tlie head of “ The Strange Disease," to which I would like to call the attention of your readers.

Let your readers send for a circular and learn full particulars about tlie agency. Yours respectfully, A. J. WiAte, 319 Pearl street, New York. An Accidental Cure. —When death was hourly expected from consumption, all remedies having failed, and Dr. H. James was experimenting, he accidentally made a preparation of Indian hemp, which cured bis only child, and now gives this recipe free on receipt of two stamps to pay expenses.

She can’t read a word of English, but she takes the paper because she' likes to see me sling it around so lively. I never missed but once, and that was one toggy day last winter, whelt I suppose I didn’t make proper calculation for the condition of the atmosphere.” “Pshaw! that ain’t nowhere,” chimed in another, “ I’ve been serving a morning newspaper all along to a man who’s never left his bed for seven years. Got the rlieumatiz. There’s a hole busted in one of the windows about two inches wide, and it’s two stories high. I shoot it up through that slit at twenty minutes past five every mornin’, and It strikes him in the face and wakes him up. On these dark mornin’s, when there’s a high wind, it takes some mighty lively calculation to hit the place just right. One mornin’ I dropped it on the foot of the bed and didn’t wake him, so he stopped the paper next day.” If you would lessen the work of ironing, fold your clothes tlie night before and lay them upon a table piled on one another, qovered with tlie ironing-blanket, and they will be much smoother; sprinkle thenP in the morning, roll them up tight until you are ready to iron them, and the work will be a pastime.
