Peeping Through the Blinds-
In place of books, or work, yr play,
Some ladies apcnd the lire-lung day
In Manning every pasaer-by,
And many a wonder they descry !
They find among the motley crowd
That'iome are gay and some are prouJ:
That some are short and some are tall.
They get their information, all
By peeping through the blinds
You walk the streets tat common pace),
You catch the outlines of a face.
The face seoms strange : again you look
Dear sir! she knows you like a book !
She know? the color of your hair,
The very style of clothes you wear;
She knows your business, I’ll be bound.
And all your friends the country round.
By peeping through the blinds!
She knows the Smiths across tbo way,
And what they dine on every day ;
An.l thinks that Matilda Jane
Is growing very proud and vain.
She knows the Drowns at Number Four,
Just opposite her very door,
Folks quite as poor as they can be,
For don’t they sit and sew. while she
Is peeping through the blinds !
Dear ladies ! if you don’t succeed
In gaining knowledge (bat you need,
Then at your window take your seat,
And gaze into the busy street ;
Full soon you’ll read your neighbor* well,
And can their tastes and habits tell,
And know their business to a TANARUS,
Much better than your own you see,
By peeping through the blinds !
SONG OF SUMMER-
Leaf by leal in Summer creeping,
Flower by flower her glory reaping—
Harvest of the rolling spheres ;
Cloud by cloud flic sky is freighted,
And to every bud belated
They have stoop’d in dewy tears.
Day by day the flocks aro keeping
Wateh upon tin* silent hills,
And the noon breeze there ia sleeping
To the cradle song of rills;
Be.iin by beam the sun is stealing
into the hearts of all the flowers,
And those crimson hearts revealing
Something that’s akin in our-.
Bird and bee have spread the tiding*
Meadow yard in golden swarms,
And the season’s first rude chidtngs
Want oil now in wealth of charms ;
All things worship, o’en the flower
Folds at eve its crimson palms.
Mouth by month the moon's intrusion,
Asa spectre in tho dark,
Mo'ei in pbantoui-like illusion
All tho vernal bloom to mark ;
And tb azilre arch of hours
Mens res out the Hummer's dowers.
Night by night tho sou of darkuej *,
Diiititu shoreward to the hud,
Marks ito earth with silent beauty
I,re the dusky round is run ;
And ihe eye b» holds, in waking,
e-' p* ' lotions just begun.
I in?' by pulse our life is fleeting
Wlirr- a? clouded mornings beam
l) wn th. \ ale ol yours retreating,
L<ku u white mist o'er n stream ;
Boon u grave mist will bo veiling
All things in a long death dream !
THE MAIDEN TO THE MOON
Oli, Moon ! did you »ee
My lover and mo
In the valley beneath the sycamore tree?
Whatever befell,
0, Moon, don’t tell—
"l'was nothing amiss, you know very well.
0, Moon ! you know,
A long tilin' ugo,
Y’ou It’ll the sk.v and descended below
Os a summer’s night,
By your own *w et light,
To incut your Kndyuiiunon Liitinas height !
And there, 0 Moon !
You gave him a boon,
¥,>” wouldn't, I’m sure, have gvanttd at
noon;
’ I vvus nothing ami s,
Being only tho bliss
Os giving- and taking an innocent kiss.
Some churlish olf
Who was spying about,
Went oft and babbled and so it got out ;
But for all tho gold
The sea could hold,
O, Moon 1 wouldn’t have gone and told.
So Moon—don’t tell
Os what ho foil
My lover and me in flic leafy doll ;
He is honest and true,
And, remember, too,
We only bohaved like your lover and you.
A SUMMER LONGING.
1 must away to wooded hills ami vales,
Whore broad, slow streams flow cool nnd
silently,
And idle bargos flap their li'tlc&s sails :
For uie the Summer sunset glows and paloa,
And green fields wait for me.
I loug for shadowy forests, where the birds
Twitter and chirp at noon from every
tree;
I long for blossomed leaves and lowing
herds :
And Nature's voices say, in mystic words.
“The green fields wait for thee.”
1 dream of uplands, where the. primrose
shines,
And waves her yellow lamps above the
lea ;
Os tangled copses, swung with trailing
vinos;
Os open vistas, skirted with tall piucs,
Where green fields wait for me.
1 think of Jong, sweet afternoons, when 1
May lie and listen to the distant sea.
<»r hear the breezes in the reeds that sigh.
Or insect .voices chirping shrill and dry,
In fields that wait lor mo.
These dreams of Summer come to bid me
find
I ho forest’s shade, the wild bird’s mehuU ,
While Summer’s rosy wreaths Jor me are
twined;
While Summer's fragrance lingers on the
wind,
And g:.en fields wait lor me.
A Ramble in August.
Come, If li> le ivo the city’s din.
'I he dry and dusty town.
And wanderforth lo pastures Iresli,
And uicadi tvs newly mown.
U e’R cathei many a flowering shrub
Moug tin (. .! stone wall,
The speckled lily in the swamp,
And mo w.t button ball.
U b. re interlacing bough, conceal
'1 be cntra. ee of the wood,
And mystic shadows teuipt to trace
The sylvan solitude.
We’ll rest beneath the spreading enk.
Among Us knarled roots ;
The blackberry clambers o'er the rock.
And proffers us its fruits.
The hlackhcrn clambers o'er the rock,
And many a flowery wreath
Hangs u'er the alders by the brook
That darkly glides beneath.
The hardback springs beside the road,
The fern beside the stream,
Where cool, beneath the rustic bridge.
The limpid waters gleam.
W e'U wander round the ruined mill,
Ear down the ,|uiet vale,
Where many a farm and shcep-cot lone
Lie scattered o’er the dale.
Till twilight gray the rural scene
In tranquil beauty blends,
And slowly o’er the eastern hill
The August moon ascends.

LaGiuxok, Ga ~ Aug. ii, ’Ci7.
(-i sii.K.ME.v—Your kind and patri
otic letter is before me, and I reply
promptly.
I am for peace. I feel no inclination
to impugn the motives of men, or to
arraign their past records; nor shall
any one put me down as the advocate
of any peculiar dynasty, or of any
party. The fate of the people of
Georgia is my fate ; and looking upon
the stern realities that surround us, I
have tried to decide what is best for
my countrymen and for our posterity.
No doubt can be entertained by the
dispassionate mind hut that it is our
duty to accept the facts of the situa
tion—weigh them with prudent judg
ment as they are, and not as we may
desire to have them, and, in coopera
tion with every power and influence at
work for our rehabilitation, to make
the best government we can with the
materials at our command.
1 am well aware that in coming to
this wise conclusion, there are many
prejudices in our own bosom which wo
have to conquer. We have been told
that the people of the North arc so
much our enemies, by both tradition
and practice, that we cannot live in (hr
same government with them. This
cruel work of sowing dragon’s teeth was
carried on through years of crusade,
until wo were called upon in the mime
of constitutional liberty, to abrogate
the constitution of our fathers and make
anew one ; and in the name of State
rights and State sovereignty, to inaugu
rate a dynasty which soon immolated
liberty, and which, in the name
of the dethroned goddess, and
supported with paradoxical devotion,
by a virtuous people, dragging men in
conscript chains, to defottd its unlawful
seizures, its forced loans, and other
measures of tyranny. The true slate
mont of the matter is that the people ol
the North have committed errors in the
past; so have we. Since, then, none
of us aro totally without fault, why shall
we not admit it—profit by experience,
and address ourselves to the present
and to the latum- .
Hut the enemies ol reconstruction
won hi still have ns believe the heresy
above referred to, and in their anxiety
to present the sum of alleged grievances,
they have failed to notice, or neglected
to advert to some important facts which
deserve consideration. To some ol
these I will briefly call attention.
When the war closed there was a
sufficient debt due by people ol the
South to people ol the North to have
brought the whole mass ol Southern
society to penniless bankruptcy. This,
too, wa., well known ti) Northern mer
chants who mainly held the huge debt.
They did not press. They did nut
even avail themselves of legal mlvant
ages, whilstthousanJsof Southern credi
tors, many of them, too, bitter anti
reconstructioiiisls, who say they love
their Southern brethren too well to he
willing for them to live under tho same
vine and tig tree with the Yankees,
rushed into tho courts to secure first
liens, and plied their debtors with
merciless legal process whenever and
wherever they could. 1 have been, and
am now, extensively engaged in the
practice of law. 1 know what 1 say is
truth, and weigh my words deliberately,
when 1 declare that the men of the
North have been at least as much like
brethren in their settlements sis South
erners have. 1 challenge the business
men and the merchants and tho lawyers
of Georgia to deny it. And I would,
with the most tender delicacy, suggest
to the women of my country, many of
whom have refused either to be com
forted or to reflect, that these men have
had it in their power to deprive them
of even their homes, and have known
it, and from motives of fraternity and
of admiration for a gallant, courageous
and suffering people, have exercised
forbearance. The many thousand of
magnanimous settlements made by
Northern men constitute a great social
fact which is for them a monument, and
is Ibr n.s an unanswerable argument
against the further continuance of strife.
There is another equally as potent.
Our people were impoverished at Ihe
close of the war, and the horrors of
their situation were increased by the
impropitiousness of the seasons oflWij
and I Stiti. Famine thus found its way
to many a door whore plenty had
previously kept her abode. It even
put in its long arms and pinched Ihe
inmates of all our homes, so that,
instead of tho t'eniuropia, there was
the groan ol misery throughout our
much loved South. There is not a
community in the North which did not
contribute something to relieve our
distress. They sent the means ol
subsistence to ns along tbe ready Vail
way routes and by the river steamers.
They sent corn, ami Hour, and bacon,
and lard, and clothing, and all that
sustains life ; and when they were
uncertain what would do us most good,
they sent checks on their banks through
the mails, so promptly reestablished for
our accommodation by the Government,
No avenue of communication was
spared ; no organization, social or
benevolent, but what lent its aid. The
government itself entered upon the j
good work, and its officers have been
planning the relief of our poor, and
distributing rations to the hungry.
Even the mighty ocean bore their
bouulihil offerings, and its willing waves
murmured tire praises of the generosity
they were contributing to assist; whilst,
ia many instances, citizens far in the
interior were surprised with consign
ments of lood for distribution from men
whose names they nevey belbre had
heard. Does this look like enmity?
Does it look like plotting our destruc
tion V My countrymen, do not let'
politicians or your own passions deceive
you. Such works as these are fruits of
peace. Those who tiius signalize our
misfortunes are not enemies. Wc should (
know more of each other, both North
and South, and we should judge of each
other with fairness and mutual respect.
This was what Washington meant when
he recommended a national spirit. Have
the hearts of our people become so
small that we cannot love our whole
country? la not a pood deoil good,
though done by a descendant of Green,
who Georgia delighted to honor in his
day, notwithstanding he wil a New
Englander .' Is the land of Webster,
and Douglas, and Jay, different from
the land of Clay, and Berrien, and
Marshall? Is the country of Washing
ton, and Crawlord, and John Adams,
and Jackson to be forever divided, aud
must political gamblers unceasingly
east lots tor its garments.aud ipecYiate
on its Constitution ?
Jt is worthy of notice that the men
who have plied us most actively with
arguments, appeals, and diatribes
against reconstruction, have uniformly
and in e«sery instance failed to refer in
terms of consideration to any of these
sublime acts of kindness aud fraternity.
Take the whole range of our history
from the magnificent colloqay between
Gens. Grant and Lee, at the surtender
ol the latter and his noble anjr—in
which General Cranthad the senfbility
to soothe the mortification of albrave
man whom he respected in Iris Misfor
tune—to the present moment! when
United States troops are protectijig the
law abiding men of Tennessee %aiust
the worst violence with which tie ex
tremists on both sides, unrestrained,
would deluge the country, and it jwi 11 be
seen that these opponents of (recon
struction have ignored the bcnivolcnt
attentions of government to the jeueral
welfare. They even ignore the (act
which presents itsclfto every dayobser
vation, that hitter as is the idea of liv
ing under military rule upon which
they carp considerably, at all evjnts, in
the administration of General Ape in
this district, instead of tyranny there
is a mild firmness mingled intjeh with
forbearance. The greatest freedom of
speech is allowed, and he even shows so
much of indulgence as to leave the
reins of our local governments in the
hands of those inimical to reconstruction.
T hero has already been tot much
pinchbeck martyrdom for the loft cause
palmed off upon us. The real heroes
of the recent struggle are the men
who suffered in the battles and tedious
marches, and weary bivouacs, and who
have returned home wounded or shat
tered by disease. The greatest suf
ferers arc the widows and orphans of
the bumble dead. These should he
cherished by us ns we love the memory
of the worthy; hut those who are en
deavoring to lead public opinion agaiust
peace, and who, in the name of the
Constitution, would ravish liberty of her
charms and sacrilegiously invoke an
archy, cannot complain if they find
themselves scrutinized. Their extraor
dinary omissions, to which attention
has been called above, demon-irate
that they are either selfish or the vic
tims of blind and passionate prejudice.
Time will develop which. If seeking to
serve themselves, 1 predict that they
will either leave us and go somewhere
else, where the paltry capital of notoriety
they may he omtbled to centre upon
themselves may he coined intcTgold or
social consideration; or they will he
foremost in the advocacy of reconstruc
tion when it shall have become an
accomplished fact ; hut I take them to
he sincere, and in that event their fail
ure to advert to any of the facts of the
kind referred to by me, is irresistibly
| conclusive that they are the victims of
their own ill governed feelings and
I jaundiced -sentiments, and are to he
pitied instead of followed. We need no
sophisms now. Neither do wc need
j sophumorcisms
' Wo need plain, solid food, and it is
important for us not only that we look
all the tacts of our situation in the
face, hut also that wc let the peopjo of
j the North know that these reckless
intellects are their own exponents, and
; noL the exponents ol the true existing
! sentiment, here; for it is not the least
of our inislbrluncs that the extremists
in all parts ol our country are yet
converging—as in the past, though
actuated by rank hostility to each other—
: to issues that continuously threaten the
! peace oI society. The extremist editors
here will not publish arguments of the
kind given above in favor of recon
struction, hut every dirty diatribe
against the Union, and the complete
rehabilitation of the couutry, which
Washington and his compatriots estab
lished, they print, and praise, and
imitate. And they rejoice and led
complimented by notices which jour
nals, alike inimical to reconstruction,
j edited by extremists North, make of
their congenial labors. If 1 could get
the ear of the whole editorial fraternity
I would respectfully remind them of
the dignity of their calling, and of their
immense power.
In behalf of the women aud children
who have some interests in this question,
I would exhort them to wield that power
for good and in behalf of law aud
order. 1 would remind them that ever
since the days of Junius—who was
ashamed to pul his name to what he
wrote—weak men like him have had the
folly to think hullyism, and vulgarity,
and insult, synonymous with wit, sar
casm and logic; whilst true journalists
have not withheld lacts, but have stood
bv tlie law, advocated principle and
combatted passion, carrying tire tastes
of the gentleman even into party glodia
tiou. I would further remind them
that there is no party now hut Our coun
try, and earnestly urge upon them the
advocacy of reconstruction, so that the
expression of opinion would be worth
something. Now it is mere brutmu
fulmeu —then it would mould destiny at
the ballot box.
ibis much I have said, because, as
we all well know, when our hearts get
right, the work ot reconstruction is
almost entirely When
ever we decide that having laid down
our arms and agreed to have peace, wc
will, in that spirit of frankness and
sincerity which distinguishes the
Southern people, inquire how eau our
relations with the Federal Government
be fully resumed? The reply is plain
and palpable. The plan of recon
struction contained in tho Sherman
Hill, anti acts of Congress supplemen
tary thereto, is the only way. If it
fails, wc can oflly get one involving
severer terms. Bj the Constitution of
the United States the Government is
i confided to three separate bodies of
magistracy. The President has said
he will execute it; the Congress passed
it and will enforce it: the Supreme
Court has been appealed to and refused
even temporary injunction.
Thus the Government is a unit ; and
let <jiii(l nurics say what they will, these
sworn custodiaus of the Constitution say
it shall be enforced, and reconstruction
will take place. Therefore, to stay out
is not to prevent the work, but to leave
others to do it, to register and then vote
against Convention is madness. For
even if you succeed in defeating Con
vention, you incur the probability of
further disfranchisement, for, according
to the term of their election, the present
Congress will dispose of these matters
before another can be elected. The
truth is, the only sensible course left us
is to deal fairly with ourselves, and with
posterity, and to advocate reconstruction,
vote for the best men we can get as
delegates—let them meet ami make its
a Constitution which the Government
will guarantee, and then live under it.
An Official Order.
llix/a;;, Third Military Dust., |
(Georgia, Alabama, and Florida), r
Atlaula, Ga„ August 12, lt<67. )
General Orders, No. 49.
I. The Commanding General has
become satisfied that the civil officers
in thi3 Military District arc only ob
serving his order prohibiting them from
“using any influence to deter or dis
suade the people from reconstructing
their State Government under the
recent acts of Congress/' so far as
their own personal conversation is
concerned, and arc, at the same time,
by their official patronage, supporting
and encouraging newspapers which are,
almost without exception, opposing i
reconstruction, and obstructing and
embarrassing civil officers,appointcd by
the Military District,in tho performance
of their duties by denunciation and
threats of future penalties for their
official acts.
If. Such use of the’patronage of
their offices is simply an evasion f per.
haps unintentional} of the provisions of
the General Order above referred to,
and is, Ti fact, an employment of the
machinery of the provisional State ;
Governments to defeat the execution of 1
the reconstruction acts.
111. It is therefore ordered, That all ’
advertisements or other official puhli
cations heretofore, or -to be hereafter,
provided for by State or municipal
laws or ordinances, he given by the
proper civil officers, whose duty it is to
have such publication to bo made, in
such newspapers and such only as
have not opposed and do not oppose
reconstruction under the acts of Con
gress, nor attempt to obstruct, in any
manner, the civil officers appointed by
the military authorities in this district
in the discharge of their duty by
threats of violence or prosecution, or
other penalty, as soon as the military
protection is withdrawn, for acts per
formed in their official capacity.
IV. All officers in this military dis- 1
trict, and all officers of the Frcedmon’s
Bureau, and all Boards of Registra
tion, or other persons in the employ
ment of the United States under its
military jurisdiction, are directed to
give prompt attention to the enforce
ment of this order, and to make imme
diate report to these headquarters of
any civil officer who violates ih pro- >
visions.

IMPOKTANT
TO mmm FARMERS, AND PLANTERS,
AIT E have been informed that tlie usual practice of Merchants. Farmers aud riaut -
W ere, in ordering their supplies of our
Dr. McLane’s Celebrsfted Vermifuge,
liao been to simply write on for Vermifuge. The consequence is that instead ol the
genninc DR. McLANE’S VERMIFUGE,"they frequently <_ret one or the other of the
many wortlilessprc pa rations called Vermifuge now before the public. We, therefore,
beg leave to urge upontbc Planter the propriety and importance of invariably writing
the name in full, and to udvisetheir factors or agents that they will not receive any
other than the genuine DR. McLANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, prepared bv
FLEMING BROTHERS, PITTSBURG, PA.
Wc also would advise the same precautions in ordering DR. McLANE’S Celebrated
LIVER PILLS. The great popularity of these Pills, as a specific or euro for LI VER
COMPLAINT and ail tho Bilious Derangements so prevalent in the South and
Southwest, has induced the venders of many worthless nostrums to claim for their
preparations similarmedieinal virtues. Be not deceived ! lilc. 71<-I. \ N IPS
Celebrated 1.1 Vl.lt 1M1.1.S are the original and only reliable remedy for Liver
Complaint that has yet beendiseovered, and we urge the Planter aud Merchant, as he
values his own aud the health of those depending on him, to be careful in ordering.
Take ncltner Vermifuge nor Liver Pills,unless you arc sure you are gettingtke genuine
McLANE’S, prepared by
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURG, PA.
11l ottering to the public DR. M< LANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS as a
remedy for LIVER and BILIOUS COMPLAINTS, we presume no apology will be
needed. The great prevalence of Liver Complaint and Bilious Diseases of all kinds
throughout the United States, and peculiarly in the West and South, where, in the
majority of eases, the patient is not within the reach of a regular physician, requires
that some remedy should be provided, that would not in the least impair the constitu
tion, and yet be safe and effectual. That such is the true character of DR. McLANE’S
LIVER PILLS, there can be no doubt. The testimony we lay before you, and tin
great success which lias invariably attended their use, will, we think be sufficient to
convince Ihe most incredulous. It has been our sincere wish.that these Pills should
be fairly and fully tested, and stand or fall by the effects.produced. That they have
been so tested, anil that the result has been in every respect favorable, we call thou
sands to witucssw ho have experienced their beneficial effects.
DR. McLANE’S LIVER PILLS, are not held fortli or recommended (like most ol #
the popular medicines of the day,) as universal cure-alls, but simply for LIVER*
COMPLAINTS, aud (Lose symptoms connected with a deranged state of that organ.
DISEASES OF THE LIVER.
The Liver i.*> much more frequently the scut of disease than ia generally supposed.
The function it is designed to perform, and on the* regular execution of which depend
nut onlythe general health of the body, lnit the powers of the Stomach, Bowels, Drain,
and the whole Nervous System, shows its vast and vital importance to human health.
When the Liver is seriously diseased it in fact not only deranges the vital functions of
the body, but exercises apowerful influence over the mind uiuWts operations, which
cannot easily be described. It lias so close a connection to other diseases, and mani
fests itself by so great a variety of symptoms, of a most doubtful character, that it
misleads more physicians, even of great eminence, than any other organ. The intimate
connection which exists between the Liver and the Brain, and the great dominion
which I am persuaded it exercises over the passions ol mankind, convince me that
many unfortunate beings have committed acts of deep and criminal atrocity, or be
come what tools term hypochondriacs, from the simple fact of a diseased state of th
Liver. 1 have long been convinced that more than, one half of the complaints which
occur i.i this country, arc to be considered as having their seats in a diseased state of
the Liver. I will enumerate some of them: Indigestion, Stoppage of the Menses,
Deranged state of the Bowels, Irritable and Vindictive Feelings and Passions from
trifling ami inadequate causes, of which we afterwards feel ashamed; last, though
not least, more than three-fourths of the diseases enumerated Under the head ot
Consumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver. This is trutly a frightful catalogue.
SIMPTOHS or A I.IVIOR. Pain in the right side,
under the edge of the ribs, increasing on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left
Side ; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism inthe arm. The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness ; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternating with
lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, liyavy scnsaalon in the
buck part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a
painful sensation :>t having left undone something which ought to havebecn done. A
slight dry eougli is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and
debility ; he is easily startled ; his feet are cold or burning, and he complains ffcjt
prickly sensation of the skin ; liis spirits are low; and although lie is satisfied*, that,
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely-summon np forude tiy/i turh
to try it. In fact,he distrusts every remedy. Several ol the above symptoms attend the
disease; but eases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the
body after death has shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
(Uilli: A.\l> FKI*KK.-DK. McLANE’S LIVER PILLS in cases of AGUE
AND FEVEK, when taken with Quinine, are productive of happy results. No better
cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. W e would advise all who
are afflicted with thediscase to give them a trial.
Direction**—Take two or three Pills on going to bed, every second or third
night. lit In y do not purge two or three times next morning, take one or two more;
but a slight bruukfast should invariably follow their use. The Liver Pills maybe used
where purging simply isncccssary. As anti-bilious purgative, they are inferior to none,
and in doses of two or three, they give astonishing relief in Sick Headache; also in
slight derangements of the Stomach.
Lm. McLANE’-S
AMERICAN WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE.
No fiisoa.se to w hieh the human body i* liable are better entitled to the attention ot
the philanthropist than those consequent on the irritation produced by WORMS in
the Stomach and Bow els. When the sufferer is an adult, the cause is frequently over
looked. and consequently the proper remedy is not applied. But when the patient is
an infant, if the disease is not entirely neglected, it is still too frequently ascribed, in
whole or in part, to some other cause llought here to he particularly remorked, that
although hut few worms may exist in a child, andtiowsoever quiescent they may have
been previously, no sooner is the constitution invaded by any any of thcnuiuerous
tram of diseases to which infancy is exposed, than it is fearfully augmented by their
irritation. Hence it too frequently happens that a disease otherwise easily managed
by proper remedies, when aggravated by that cause', bids defiance to treatment, judi
cious in other respects but w hich entirely fails in consequence of worms being over
looked. And even in eases of great violence, if a potent and prompt remedy he pos
sessed, so that they could be expelled without loss of time, w hich is so precious in
such cases, the Jease might he attacked, by proper remedies, even-handed, ami with
success.
Nyinploiii* vvlii<-]i 4'nimot Im- .lliMliikcn.— I The countenance is pale and
leaden colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot over one or both
checks, the eyes become dull, the pupils dilate; an azure semi-circle runs along tle
lower eyelid, the nose is irritated, swells and sometimes Meeds; swelling of the upper
lip; occasional headache, with humming ur throbbing oftliu ears : an unusual secretion
of saline, slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning:
appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnaw ing seusation at the stomach, at
other times entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomit
ing; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels irregular, at times costive; stools
slimy, notunfrequently tinged with blood; body swollen and hard; urine turbid;
respiration occasionally difficult and accompanied by hiccough; congh sometimes dry
and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper
variable, but gcncaally irritable, ike.
Whenever tbe above symptoms are found to exist, 1)1!. McLAXE’S VERMIFUGE
MAY BE DEPENDED UPON TO EFFECT A CURE.
The universal success which lias attended the administration of this preparation has
been snch as to warrant us in pledging ourselves to the public to RETURN TIIE
MONEY in every instance where it proves ineffectual, providing the symptoms
attending the sickness of the child or adult warrant the supposition of worms being
the cause. In all cases the medicine should he given in strict accordance with tin
directions.
We pledge ourselves to tin- public that DR. McLAXE’S VERMIFUGE DOES NOT
CONTAIN MERCURY IN ANY FORM ; and that it i-an innocent preparation, and
not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant.
Direction*. —Give a child, [from two to ten years old, ajeaspoonful in as
much sweetened water every morning, fasting; if it purges through the day, well; but
if not, repeat it in the evening. Over ten. give a little more, under two, give less. To
