Dr. Gale's AnodymVOpium,
IT is a fact well known, that many people are
accustomed to buy and use without the advice
of a physician, many of the preparations of Opium, "
as Laudanum, Paregoric, Batt-mac's Drops, God
frey's Cordial and the like.
Ihe effect of these medicines is generally known
and while they are admitted to possess Anodyne
and sedative properties not to be dispensed with,
they are still liable to serious objections in many
cases and doubtless arc often mischievous in their
tendency.
. The new chemical preparation, now submitted
to the public, is believed to possess all their virtues
and even, more, without being chargeable with
their bad effects neither is this opinion hastily
founded, nor based on limited experience after a
trial of some years in wiiich this remedy has been
placed in the bauds of eminent physicians, and
tried indeed under every variety of circumstance,
and in all appropriate cases of discase.it is still be
lieved to stand unrivalled, not only for its rare
medicinal varieties as a preparation of Opium, but
for the sfetv with which it mav be administered.

HO SHALL CONTROL THE XOJleT.K 8UOK M.VBK.ET
AT WUOLESAIK.
SOME years ago the Pro
prietor of the famous La
dies Shoe Saloon put in his
claim to do n larges hare
of this particular branch
of the Shoe business, by
importing one of the larg
est STOCKS OF
BOOTS AND SHOES,
Which had ever been sent
to Norfolk ; since then at
each successive season our mock has gradually
increased until the present time, and now we do a
larger business than any other house in eastern
Vir'nnia.
The Ladies' Saloon was first established about
12 years ago, and the Store has been repeatedly
altered snd enlarged to make room for Mr. AL
DINGTON'S increasing trade, until now tne 01a
Store can be no longer enlarged, he has recently
built for himself one of the largest Sstores tor ma
business in the United Stetes.
The new Store i9 four times as large ns the 0 d
one, so that hereafter we shall be prepared with
the goods to do the largest Boot and Shoe trade
done in the State of Virginia.
(A complete description of this splendid new
Store will be given about the 15th of July, when
it will be opened.)
At the comraencemcemcnt or each season we
have on hand from
$80,000 to $100,000
Worth of BOOTS, and SHOES, while we constant
ly receive heavy shipments of good during its con
tinuance. Our success has indeed been signni ana
why? because we have always conducted our bu
siness on equitable principles, mutuary Deneni
ting the seller and the buyer.
This success is trulv flattering to us, insomucn
we intend to make still larger additions to our
stock, and therefore invite all Country Merchants
and Shoe dealers to come and deal for the future
with us at the new Store.
HUNDREDS OF MERCHANTS
Have already availed themselves of our invitation,
who return and buv more goods at each season
saying, "they can do better at the
LADIES' SALOON
Than they can do at the North:' We guarantee to
sell at least 5 per cent less than others , and to sell
goods which will suit the retail trade 01 Virginia,
and North Carolina Merchants, better than any
they may purchase elsewhere.
The stock consists in part of
Gentlemen's fine Boots and Shoes, of every fash
innAble varietv.

larger -portion of the risks are in the West, very
many of vrhieh are in the country.
The Company is entirely free from debt ; have
made no assessments, and have a very large a
mount in cash and good bonds, and is therefore
confidently recommended to the public
At the last Annual Meeting the following Officers
