Mrs Quickly. Ophelia. Lady Macbeth,

That dyspepsia comes from torpid
liver and co"tivencss.
That vou cannot digest your food well
unless your bowels and liver act prop

cleansing when they do their duty by

That your torpid liver needs stim
ulating in order that it may act as na
tuie intended it should.
That BRA-NKiiErn's Pilih taken in
doses of one or two at night for, say,

to see the marked improvements which

unwise legislation and was ruinous to
the country. He spoke ot the impor
tance of the meeting ot the League

C, or. the 25th, 20th and 27th inst., and
urged strongry that Wilmington niara
time interests be represented there. The

mariue. He paid a tine and deserved
compliment to Francs, through the
French officers, who were present.

marks, on motion of - Mr. H C. Mc
Queen, a Committee ot tbreo was ap
