in iniinualing the misfortune of hie

heard of lately is his talking about
throwing a stons at our structure.
Neighbor, beware of the rebound!
The rebounding force of an object
thrown against a wall sometimes

remember, it will be our turn nexi

Ayer’s Pills have been known for
more thnn a quarter of a century, nnd have
obtnined n world-wide reputation for their
virtues. Thoy correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed thnt obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with

core the ovory-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of

their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, nnd never
give pnin when the bowels ore not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of thu blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements or weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pllb mav

that it possesses virtues, lying in the
