GOOD MEDICINES. 



IT is estimated that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and 

 Cathartic Pills have done more to promote the 

 public health.., than any other one cause. There 

 can be no question that the Cherry Pectoral has, by 

 its thousand on thousand cures- of Colds-, Coughs, 

 Asthma, Croup, Influenza Bronchitis, &c, very 

 much reduced the proportion of deaths from con- 

 sumptive diseases in this country. The Pills are 

 as good as the Pectoral and will cure more com- 

 plaints. 



Every body needs, more or less-purging. Purge the 

 blood from its impurities. Purge the bowels, liver 

 and the whole visceral system from obstructions. 

 Purge out the diseases which fasten on the body 

 to work its decay. But for diseases we should die 

 only of old age. Take antidotes early and thrust 

 it from the system, before it is yet too strong to 

 yield. 



Ayer's Pills do thrust out disease,not only while 

 if is weak but when it has taken a strong hold; Read 

 the astounding statements of those who have been 

 cured by them from dreadful Scrofula, Dropsy, Ul- 

 cers, Skin Diseases, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dys- 

 pepsia, Internal Pains, Bilious Compl'ts, Heartburn, 

 Gout, and many Jess dangerous but still threatening 

 ailments, such' as pimples on the face, Worms, Ner- 

 vous Irritability, Loss of Appetite, Irregularities, 

 Dizziness in the Head, Colds, Fevers, Dysentery 

 and indeed every variety of complaints for which 

 a purgative remedy is required. 



These are no random statements,. but are authen- 

 ticated by your own neighbors and your own phy- 

 sicians. 



Try them once and you will never be without 

 them.

THE CM IN CH A ISLANDS. 



AS many ships to our address are under charter to pro- 

 ceed to these Islands to load Guano, we beg to submit 

 some particulars relative to the detention of ships and the 

 expenses of Loading. 



All vessels may expect to lay out the full number of their 

 lay days before loading is completedj A bonus of $10 to 

 $15 per day, for every day saved, is sometimes paid as a 

 gratification to officials. Most ships are kept a month after 

 arrival, before an order is given to ballast, after which it i« 

 decided whether they are to load by lighter or by "Mangu- 

 era," or shoot, by which the Guano is run into the hold. 



The "Manguera" discharges from 400 to' 500 tons per 

 day. All ships dry up very much, from being exposed to a 

 hot sun, and nearly all are obliged to caulk before leaving, 

 unless they have been very recently caulked. Vessels 

 should be provided with oakum and' pitch, and English 

 Caulkers can be obtained at $4 per day and board. Ame- 

 rican coin oyi Sovereigns are best for disbursements — the for- 

 mer passing at par, and the latter at $5 each. Captains of 

 vessels, short of funds, can obtain money of resident 

 Houses, if well accredited, at 6 per cent, premium upon 

 sight bills, or draw upon their charters at* 12 per cent, pre- 

 mium. The following were the Port Charges and disburse- 

 ments for a ship of 700 tons:.

There is another charge for hire of water casks (2 cents 

 per gallon) to carry water from. Calao to the Islands, which 

 the charter says is to be delivered "free of expense." The 

 water has to be bought, and if the ship has no sptire cask;s, 

 they have to be hired. There h also a chance of losing 

 $50 on the boats or lighters used in ballasting or louding, 

 vessels arriving purchasing of those leaving and when 

 loaded, but not ;dvvays obtaing as much as they expended.
