BUSINESS NOTICES. 04UTION Every genuine box of Dr. McLANES LIVER PILLS bears the signature of Fleming Rrothera, Pittsburg, and their private United States stamp. Take no other the market is full of imitations.

It is the popular verdict that people who have been accustomed to the nse of bitters or cordials, are obliged eventually to tipsort to McLanes Liver Pills for permanent relief. Bottles Full of Beauty. Ladies If you would have beatity by the bottle full, all you have to do is to purchase Hagans Magnolia Balm. That peerless beautifier of the complexion not only heightens natural charms, but renders even the plainest countenance exceedingly attractive. It recalls to tbe pallid cheek the rosy tinge of health, removes pimples, blotches, roughness, eallowness, and other blemishes, and imparts to the skin a most delicate fairness and softness.

It smooths the furrows caused by time or care, and gives face, neck, and arms the plump and engaging appearance of youthful beauty. All this is accomplished by the most natural means, viz by gently and naturally stimulating the circulation in the capillary blood vessels. Besides being the most effectual aid to, beauty known to modem science. Pimples, Kruptlons, Rough Skin. The system being put under the influence of Dr.

Pierces Golden Medical Discovery for a few week, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft, oaj velvety, and being Illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing ever presented to tbe public as a beautifierof tbe complexion ever gave such satisfaction for this purpose as this Discovery. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones or grubs, a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula, is, with the use of this most potent agent, only matter of time.

From the New York Financial Chronicle we have foil reports of movements in tho cotton to the night of the 30 tli inclusive, and from this standard authority, we take the following figures The receipts at all porta in the United States for the week ending the 20th were 51,269 bales, against 29,625 bales for the preceding week, making the total receipts since the 1st 97,597 bales, against 42,464 bales to the same date last year. Bombay shipments to the 20th, since were 866,000, against 1,007,000 to same In 1871.

The Chronicle's weather reports for the week were generally favorable for crop purposes. The Chronicle attributes the steady decline in prices to the heavy receipts, a close money market, numeroiiSdailares In other lines of business destroying confidence, and the scarcity of currency in the South.
