THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE
THAT AT THE SAME TIME
PURGES, PURIFIES, AND STRENGTHENS
THE SYSTEM.
Dr. Tutfj Pills are composed of many ingredi
ents, Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and Wild
Cherry, so united as to act together; the one through
its admixture with other substances, purifying and pur
ging; while the other is strengthening the system. Thus
these Pills are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic, a
desideratum long sought for by medical men, but never
before discovered, lu other words, they do the weak of
two medicines and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the system but
impurities, so that while they purge they also Ptreugth- 1
en and hence they cause no debility and are followed
Dr.Tiitt's Pills have a wonderful influence on I
the blood. They not only purity without weakening it,
but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle
before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes im
pure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no de
bilitation, so there is no nausea or f ickness attending V
the operation of this most excellent medicine, which ;
never strains or tortures the digestive organs, but
causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner;
hence persons takiug them do not become pale and
amaciated, but on the contrary, while all impurities are '
being removed, the combined action ot the Sarsaparilla
and Wild Cherry purines and invigorates the body, and ;
a robnst state of health is the result of their united action

A California Story. j
The loiiowing anecdote, which as tol l rue !
iy an tyo-wiinesf. I will r. Ist.h as I can re;ol- 1
lect it in his own word.
la the early mining Jays ot C.tliiotnia thtrte
tooil at the foot of the hill, not many miles
from Nevada, one of tho-ie rongh-built gaming
h.-mt-s 'so'couimou thronghnnt the mining sec
tions of the territory. A ke:ipt:o:i rf tli
structure and its surrounaiDCs vr ill convey t0
the retiiler a bettor i lea of th. incident I am
about to i l.t.-. Th. building contained but
on. r-.m. the eiitran.-y to which was situated
t on- end. with a large Adobe fireplace on the
other end, nearly opposite to the entrance, bn
the largo stone hearth burned a wood fire, giv
ing to the room a cheerful appearance. On
the front, at the right of the tutranec , was a
well-filled bar, around which were Congregated
representatives of different nations, some spec
ulating on the success of various mining opera
tions, while others were discussing the general
topics of the day. Along the rear side of the
room extended a row of tables, around each of
whk-h was seated a company ol miners playing
j! poker, and staking laige sums of gold with M
I inn eh cociness and apparent unconcern as if
iht-y were partaking ot their evening meal. A
i' w rude c its gvi.j ii d the space around the
, lilt place, and in tbe tront ortion of th room
! beyond the bar. The cabins of the settlers ex-
tendeil Rome distance to the front of the soot,
whih"1 the unsettled p. -rt i on 01" the- conntivlay
in the rear.
The hill beitae liM-ntioLrd rising abruptly
'trotn this position thickly inteispersed with
I .-age brush and thick bushes, affording a temno
; rary hiding ila e terth- fugitive. As the even.
I ing wore on, the patrons ol the; saloon became
inoif num. ions, while the dullness of the at
mosphere caused tt.O'C most interested in the
g -sines at the tabu- i gatlier roun.l the tire.
The conversation which at this time was be
coming animated, was suddfnly interrupted by
the eijtianee of a t dl r.twlioned Yankee, bear
ing iii his- ;hand a long rirle; aicnr.d his waist
he wore a belt, irom -which 't -u'-pended a
powder thisk and bullet piv.;-h.
Advancing to the. fireplace, he ,, -po.-.in d Jjis
rille in the eoitier. and after accepting the scat
couift'ously oil'eied him by one of the company,
he seated hini.seil bv t!:e fiu ; vesting one elbow
on his knee, and diopping his chin into his
! lianil, he
s:it gloomily watching the lire an if
some luiohtA- ;ricf wr-s prejinr; upon him. lie
mumbled incoherently at time , an"i .'.at without
chanc;in4 his position. T'r.c attention of the
company was so.di di.iwn to the. stranger and an
occasional c;lancv of ths- at the table was di
rected towards the place w here he .--at. Ilea"
length broke out inio su. h lamentations a ; these
'T am tired of life. My claims have failed'
and I am without t r i nd or money. 1 h.av.1 iioj
evt-n enough to purchase a supper. I havo hecn
out all dav hunting :'!:d 1 have kilh u 'mihing.'
He a hheSsed Ilk I Ol.e J ,e 1 : , al 1V . a lid 2iO OUC
"seemed to m path bv with him in his di.-turbed
coutlition. He Mil in .-ilein-e a lew minutes,
and then rising his head he t r!.;i;in 1 :
"A man may as well he dead .as oat . 1 luck.
I will take my own life. "
Then taking from hi- .-ide the !:.i-K. he tui-serewi-d
the cap from the top. and poured lrom
it into his hand some apparently tine Hazard
powder, then j on. ing it. can fully back, he re
placed tii e cap. and .- v. .. :::g if firmly on, yelled:
'Yes. 1 wiii die m .-eif. and all around me
shall die ai
He 1'uen tlun.; the j'a.dc u!o;r? liic burning
coals. The tumult that followed was indes
cribable, 'i l:e iUpli i- i the ijiior was almost
simultam ;. i:h. t: rash act of tlie stranger.
The. windows serw'las a means of escapee to
those who were unable to press a passage
through the door. The Yanki c sat a calm
spectator till th.- last occupant ot the room had
made his exit, then with the rapidity of light
ning he sprang to the tables and scraped from
them the shining piles of gold w hich had been
left j the gamblers and deposited them in his
hat, escaping through one of the rear windows.
With desperate strides he a-eended the hill?
