There is no disease more common among children, 

 and yet none which so frequently baffles the skill of the 

 physician, as worms. They are highly detrimental to the 

 constitution; and their presence should be carefully guarded 

 against by parents. On the first manifestation of symptoms, 

 every means should be used to expel them promptly and 

 thoroughly. McLane's Vermifuge is well established as 

 the most certain, safe and speedy remedy ever offered for 

 this troublesome and dangerous malady ; and all who have 

 the management of children should keep this invaluable 

 medicine at hand. In addition to its perfect safety, it never 

 tails to produce the desired effect. 



fpjip* Purchasers will be careful to ask for "Dr. McLane's 

 Celebrated Vermifuge," and take none else. All other ver- 

 mifuges, in comparison, are worthless. Dr. McLane's genu- 

 ine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be 

 had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and 

 Canada. 



LIVER COMPLAINT. 



fpp"" This dangerous aud often fatal disease had long 

 baffled the skill of the most eminent physicians, when the 

 discovery of Dr. McLane's Liver Pills solved the difficulty, 

 and presented to the world the great specific for that com- 

 plicated malady, which has attained such widely spread 

 celebrity for its certainty of cure. This successful remedy 

 was the result of many years' study, in which the symptoms 

 were narrowly observed, and are thus described by the 

 Doctor himself: 



"Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. — Pain iu the right 

 side, and sometimes in the left, under the edge of the ribs — 

 the patient being rarely able to lie on the left; pain some- 

 times under the shoulder-blade, frequently extending to the 

 top of the shoulder — often mistaken for rheumatism in the 

 arm; sickness of stomach, and loss of appetite; bowels 

 mostly costive, but sometimes alternate with lax; dull, heavy 

 sensation in the back part of the head; loss of memory, 

 with uneasiness of having neglected something; sometimes 

 dry cough; weariness and debility; nervous irritability; 

 feet, cold or burning, and prickly sensation of skin; low 

 spirits, lassitude, with disinclination to exercise, although 

 satisfied it would be beneficial. In fact, patient distrusts 

 every remedy." 



Have you any or all of these symptoms? If so, you will 

 find a certain remedy in Dr. DcLane's Pills. 



Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. McLane's] 

 Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else. There are other; 

 Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the public. 

 Dr. McLane's Liver Pills, also his Celebrated Vermifuge, 

 can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United 

 States and Canada.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS! 



What is that 

 you have got 

 there boy, and 

 what doing? 



Ah! Massa, dis de Wells' Seed 

 Sower — de berry best ting in de 

 world to sow de clober and de 

 loty seed, de plaster, dc go- 

 no, and de wheat. I 

 1 sows 25 acres in one 

 day massa — try 

 him. 



It is only by the use of valuable improvements that we 

 can reasonably expect to keep up with the age in which 

 we live, and public opinion everywhere has placed M. D. 

 Wells' Improved Patent Seed Sower in the first class of 

 agricultural implements. The above drawing exhibits it 

 in use, and any ordinary mind must at once be impressed 

 Jwith the certain conviction that it is an indispensable im- 

 plement of husbandry, and that every good farmer should 

 have it. By its use you save time, which is money and 

 labor which costs money, and experience in using it proves 

 you will not be driven from the field unless by very rough 

 weather, and the almost mathematical precision with which 

 the seed is distributed, compared with hand sowing, renders 

 it self-evident in the opinion of the best farmers that a sav- 

 ing or gain of two dollars per acre is made in two crops of 

 grass and the succeeding crop of wheat, one year's inte- 

 rest on an acre of land at $33£, and sowing three acres 

 pays for a machine with lid at $6. 



The first premium was recommended for this machine 

 at the late Virginia State Fair, and four of the committee 

 (all having use for it) engaged one each ; and we think if 

 governed by your interest you will do likewise.

MERINO SHEEP.— Having increased my flock of Me- 

 rino Sheep on my farm, in Orange county, to over 

 800 I am now prepared to sell a few choice yearling Bucks 

 and Ewes. To all who have any acquaintance with Col. 

 Henry S. Randall of New York, and the reputation of his 

 flock, it is only necessary to say that the yearlings I pro- 

 pose selling are the product of ewes purchased of him when 

 he sold out last year, and selected by him personally as the 

 best in his flock. I have his letters, saying that he was 

 offered the same price for his ewes by his neighbors, but 

 that in starling the growth of fine wool in Virginia it was 

 very important to have good sheep, and as he knew these 

 were superior, he preferred selling them to go there. I 

 shall sell no bucks except such as show marks of supe- 

 riority. All who want to raise their flocks to a high stand- 

 ard at once will do well to apply early, as I have but a 

 limited number for sale. Address by mail, or apply to
