This invaluable Medicine, which has been known throughout the UNITED KINGDOM for nearly half a century, and recognised by all who have tried it to be the BEST PURIFIER OF THE BLOOD, is admirably adapted to supply a great want—that of a remedy always at hand, easy of application, and cer- tain in its results. Its timely aid prevents, and its assistance cures, all Diseases, however caused; and where these Pills are persevered with DOCTORS' BILLS ARE UNKNOWN. Being a purely vegetable preparation, they may be taken at any time by either sex without fear of danger. Acting upon the bowels mildly, yet effectually, by their fine tonic, aromatic, and aperient properties, they re- move all oppressive accumulations, regulate the secre. tions of the liver and bowels, strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood.

WILLIAM HUGHES, late of ihe Sun Inn, in the Borough of Brecon, in the County of Brecon, Innkeeper, having been adjudged Bankrupt by the Registrar of the County Court of Brecknockshipe holden at Brecknock, attending at the Brecknock Gaol, on the 11th day of January, 1867, and the adjudication being directed to be prosecuted at the said County Court of Brecknock- shire holden at Brecknock, is hereby required to Sur- render himself to Stephen Bowen Evans, Esq., the Registrar of the County Court of Brecknockshire holden at Brecknock, at the First Meeting of Credi- tors, to be hpld on the 5th day of FEBRUARY, 1867, at 12 o'clock at noon precisely, at the Registrar's Cham- bers, County Court Office, Brecknock, aforesaid. William Thomas Bonnell Bishop, Esq., is the Soli- citor acting in the Bankruptcy. At the Meeting the Registrar will receive the Proofs of the Debts of the Creditors, and the Creditors may choose an Assignee or Assignees of the Bankrupt's Estate and Effects. All persons having in their possession any of the effects of the said Bankrupt must deliver them to the Registrar, and all Debts due to the Bankrupt must be paid to the Registrar. 297] THOMAS C. PERKS, High Bailiff. THE CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS. These Pills are compounded from the recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who, from purely philanthropic motives—knowing their excellent properties from experience—has beeninduced to give the benefit of them to the public at large). They are prepared by an able and experienced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach and derangements of the liver ever prepared. It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to the human race arise from a disordered stomacb, and an irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple maladies become serious illnesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the bles- sings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid condition of the liver, regulate the bowels, and, by removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. ———— Sold in boxes (with directions for use) le.lid. and 7Jd. each (a saving by taking the larger size).
