Rob inson strode away to look after the accommodations of the horses. “The devil take this impertinent ox-driver!’’ muttered the man to him self, after the sergeant had left him; "1 have half a mind to take his car case in hand, just to give it the bene fit of a good, whoiesome manipula tion.

Most Valuable Agent. The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce’s medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would.

It adds greatly to the eilicacy of the Black Cherry- bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root.
