A Trie Incident of tlio Kcbellion. In a Now Enrtlarni home, at the break lug out of the Kebellion, lived a boy nine teen years old. He was a bright, quick tempered lad, who was always getting Into trouble, yet whom everybody liked. From the excitement of enlisting and the ppecch-raaking on the corners of the streets, be would go home full of enthusi asm, lie was young and strong, well, and wilHntr. His father did not heed him, but his mother's eyes would fill with tears, which wa9 always too much for him. His little sister iS'ellie, whom he loved with all his heart, was another blockade he had not the courage to run. But there camo a night when he went home with a pale face and a determined look in his eyes, and then they all knew that he had enlisted, and after that his mother went quietly and sadly about fitting him off, and Ntllie hid herself away in odd corners, or in her own room, so that Paul should not know how very hard it was, for she meant to be brave. And the day came and he marched away with the regiment as a private. The army lay on the Potomac, as we know, uiauy months, much of the time in great danger, when its safety depended largely on picket men. It came Paul's tarn one dark night, and he had that day been caring in his bungling, boy way for a sick comrade. Hough men and careless boys grew tender and thoughtful in those cay., when there were no gentle sisters and mothers ne.tr. Paul stood by his post, watchful the night through, though his eyes wmhl M go &hut" sometimes, but he propped them open with thoughts of home, mother, Nellie, and the old school times. The next morning the regiment was ordered to move. Paul's friend was only able to march by his aide by being allowed to rest occasionally and by having Paul carry his musket and knapsack, which he did all day, his own knapsack hanging over one shoulder and Tom's over the other, and the guns where ever he could find au easy place for them. , But when one night came, and the army halted, word was sent that Tom, his sick friend, had been detailed for picket duty. Paul was lame and sore, and had no idea where he was tired most, he was so tired all over, but he knew Tom could not do it he had ju-t put him in the bunk, his face and hands burning with fever. He tried to forget how tired he was, and went over to the Captain's tent and told him that Tom could not watch, but that he would take his place. The- Captain mere ly nodded his bead and turned again to his writing. Was it the Captain's busi ness to know what his privates had been doing? A pale young face with a tired look in it was none of his affair. So Paul turned away also and was soon marching to and fro wearily wondering if he could keep awake till morning, and that little word which means so much, death, would come to him, for he knew it would come in a dreadful way if he forgot himself. Those little props he had Ufced before failed one after the other, and every thing would grow misty, and then that terrible word would bring him back. Again and again he would lose himself, but again gather strength and would walk his beat in a determined way for a time. But he finally stopped before a huge tree and leaned up against its trunk, but sank down after a little, utterly lost to every thing but sleep and there they found him the next morning. And after a court martial came the ter rible order Paul Duncan was to be shot for " sleeping at his post." Tom went to the Captain and told him how it was; that Paul was doin? his duty that he had watched the niirht before. But it was of no use, there was no help now, only a re prieve for a week. Paul sat down in his tent that night and wrote it all home to his father, his mother and rsellic. That little white envelope took two days and three nights in its journey, and then was opened and the letter read in the home and who would try to tell how? Nellie heard it through, and then a brave thought came into her heart. She told her father and mother she was going to save Paul, and going to the depot she took the n.idnis:ht train. She told the conductor her story, and hearts were open to sympathy in that dark time. He be lieved her and helpel her on, and she was helped on and on through all the changes she needed to make till sue reached Washington the morning of the day Paul was to be shot. She made her way to the White House, and told the black porter at the door that she wanted to see Mr. Lin coln. He was strongly inclined at first to turn her away. What could so little a girl want of so great a man? But her win ning face and her determined manner finally won the dark man's heart, and he allowed her to pass into the room where sat the grand and simple man whom we delight to honor. He was busily engaged, but she went softly up to his side and stood quietly until he should notice her, which he did very soon. Mr. Lincoln did not skip the little things, and was not that what made him so noble? " Well, my little girl, and what do you want ?" " Paul, sir, if vou please." "Ami who is Paul?" My brother, sir, who is to be shot to night for sleeping at his post and he was not to blame; he stood guard for Tom, sir, because he was sick, and he stood for himself the night before, and marched all day, sir, and carried Tom's knapsack, and he could not help going to sleep, he was so tired." Mr. Lincoln had put hi3 arm round Nellie and drawn her closer to him while she was talking, her face so earnest and not a tremor In her voice. His eyes were misty before she had finished her story, and when she was tf.rough he lifted her up on to his knee, asking ber more about it. Then, lifting her gently, he put her in his chair, telling her he would be back directly, and went out and telegraphed, countermanding the order. He was back in ten minutes. He told Nellie what he had done, then told her that they misrht not get the telegram, . or might not understand, and the safest way would be to go themselves and at. tend to it. A quick light of joy covered Nellie's face. The President stooped . down and kissed it, then took her hand in his, and they started for Paul. It was five o'clock in the afternoon when they walked across the camp ground, and found the soldiers drawn up in line, and in the distance a tall, slender boy standing alone, with his eyes blinded. Nellie dropped the hand she was holding and ran across the ground. In an instant " more her arms were round Paul's neck, her face close to his. ine man wnom tue worm is learning little bv little to understand had saved the boy'slife by going himself. The telegram had not been received. What Next. How to Construct a Cheap but Valuable Smoke House. and provide a good, light covering for the hogshead, and the house is completed. Now select a dry and well-seasoned bar rel an old flour barrel will answer very well. Remove one head, and through the center of the remaining one bore a two inch hole, the same as that through the hogshead. Now place the barrel and hogshead about twelve feet apart (a shorter distance will not be sufficient to Insure the perfect cooling of the hot air and smoke), the bottom of the latter being elevated about a foot or so above that of the barrel, either by being placed upon higher ground, or raised upon a platform the closed end of the hogs head and the open end of the barrel rest ing upon the ground. Having perfected this arrangement, properly connect the two by means of the conductor already mentioned (which can be any old, cast away house conductor, and, if only tight, will do for the purpose), the conductor being provided with a movable elbow at one end which is to be inserted into the hole in the head of the barrel, while the other end should be inserted into the hole bored in the hogshead. All this having been completed and the meat beinsr; in its place in the hogshead, and the cover thereof well secured, the apparatus is ready for use. To put it into operation, let some dry cobs and an ash hod or old iron kettle to hold the fire be provided the hod or ket tle being ample enough in dimensions to hold a peck or more of the fuel. Now separate the conductor at its connection with the elbow and lilt the barrel aside. Place the hod, having a few ashes on the bottom and a good layer of live coals thereon, in its proper position upon the leveled surface of the ground where the barrel stood ; put in the cobs in an orderly manner in horizontal layers, not nur riedly and carelessly and in every con ceivable shape so that but e few may touch the fire and cause it to go out, or admit so much air as to kindle them into a blaze. Then replace the barrel over the hod and restore the connection by means of the pipe with the hogshead, and the work is done; thus making as simple and cheap a smoking arrangement as, I think, was ever devised, and a thousand times better than an ordinary smoke-house, be cause in this method the meat is never heated in the least, and the curing can be hurried as rapidly as one pleases. In the above I have described the cheapest apparatus possible constructed upon this plan; but an improvement can be made hy substituting for the barrel (which will shrink from the action of the heat, making it necessary to start the hoops from time to time) a sheet-iron reservoir, either shaped like a barrel or more or less conical, the base resting upon the ground. Cor. Neva York Sun Cremation Mechanically Considered. Sin Henry Thompson, Professor of Clinical Surgery iu the University Col lege, London, one of the first to favor cremation, is out with a second article pointing out an easy and cheap method of disposing of the dead by the burning of the body. The experiments of Sir Henry Thompson performed thus far on the lower animals are as follows: In a powerful reverberating furnace, a cyl indrical vessel teven feet long by six in di ameter was heated to a temperature of 2,000 Fahrenheit. Into this polii-lied cylinder, al ready at white heat, a body weighing 2:27 pounds was introduced. During ttie tirst few moments gases were given on abundantly; hut by passing through a heated chamber of fire-bricks, laid lattice far-hion, they were rap idly oxidized, and neither smoke nor gas es caped from a chimney of the ordinary height. In the course of an "hour the process wa9 complete, and the ashes a refilled sublimate without tase or emell, in weight about five pounds were removed. As an indication of the process in the human subject, the following is sug gested : When death occurs, and the necessary cer tificate has been given, the body is placed iu a light wood thell, then in a suitable outside receptacle, preparatory to removal for re ligious rites or oticrvwse. Alter a proper lime has elapsed it is conveyed to the spot where niema'ion is to be performed. There nothing uod te seen by the last attendant but thepluciug f theshell within atraall compart nieut and th.i closing of the door upon it. It slides down into the heated chamber and is left there an hour, till the necessary changes have taken pi ice. The ashes are then placed at the disposal of the attendants. The practical solution of the mechanical difficulties being attained, there remain the bearings upon the question of the aesthetic sense to be discussed, and the Professor, expect-'ng opposition from the general public, finds that from persons in all ranks and stations in life, and from he press, has come a favorable assurance. Even clergymen show how easily the burial service can be rendered applicable to cremation without affecting religious convictions. Even the lyceums and debating clubs have taken this subject up with so much zeal as to secure large majorities in sup port of so revolutionary a practice. It is doubtful, however, whether the sober second thought will strengthen the feeling in favor of the proposed practice. In London and in all great cities there are reasons for incremation not felt in the country. As far back as 1849, Dr. Lyon Playfair estimated that, from the 52,000 annual interments (now reaching 80.000) f London, 2,500,000 cubic feet of gases were emitted and regarding the amount of this absorbed by the earth a grave de lusion has been entertained. 1 he gases evolved burst leaden coffins, permeate the surrounding 6oil and escape into sewers passing near graveyards, and the prevalence of choiera in their vicinity is fact well marked. The condition ot the graveyards is often most revolting, and ence the present feeling in London upon the question. JY. J'. Express. "Necessity is," trulv, "the mother of invention." Circumstances having once made me the occupant of premises, like thousands of others, unprovided with facilities for curing meat by smoking, my wits were stimulated, into action to sup ply the deficiency, which was fortunately soon accomplished in a very effectual manner. Since then, having perfected my plan, and having used it sufficiently to test its superiority over anything that I have ever seen, 1 consider it but justice to the many readers of the agricultural department of the Weekly Son for the many valuable hints 1 have there been placed in possession of, to give them a de- scription ot it: Tase an old hogshead one which has been kept in a dry place and in which the staves are all well seasoned and shrunken to their fullest extent (a crock ery hogshead is the best) remove one head and drive the hoops well to their places, thus closing all the cracks and crevices. Then get out two or three good, substantial hoops of hickory or ash. leavine them quite thick so as to constitute then a suitable support, and nail them around the inside of the hogs head (the same as the hoops are placed ' around the outside), equidistant from the Ion and bottom of the hogshead and from "ofwh other. Uoon these hoops place slAtu nnon which the hams or meat cf nv kind can be laid or suspended. This done, bore a two-inch hole through one of the widest staves about ten incnes irom the open end or top of the hogshead, to receive a common iwo-incn tm cwiuutiuij Doable Brains. USEFUL AND SUGGESTITE. Paroxtbms of coughing may be pre vented or cured by swallowing a little dry Bait. Soldering Liquid. This Is made by taking hydrochloric acid, a quarter of a pint; ' granulated tin, one and a half ounces. Dissolve, and add some common solder and hydrochlorate of ammonia. Tea Cake. One cup of sugar; one great spoonful of butter; half cup of milk; two cups of sifted flour; a very little nutmeg; one teaspoonful of cream of tartar ; half teaspoonful of soda. Mountain Cake. One cup butter; three cups white sugar; four of flour; five eggs, whites beaten separately; one tea spoonful of cream of tartar; one of soda dissolved in the milk. A Western veterinary surgeon recom mends a quarter of an ounce of prepared chalk given in the food of a young horse each morning as corrective of the acidity of the stomach and bowels which produces colic. Paradise Cake. Three eggs ; one cup of but'er; two and a half cups of sugar; one and ahalf cups of sweet milk; a small teaspoonful of soda; four large cups of flour; one pound of raisins; cloves, cin namon, and nutmeg. Raised Cake. Two cups of raised dough ; two eggs ; two cups of sugar; one cup of butter; one cup of sweet milk; one teafpoonful of soda; two cups of flour; one cup of fruit; cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. To be put into the oven at once. Stcmp Machine. The simplest con trivance is to chain a strong piece of timber to one side of the stump by very strong chains hooked into the roots, and attach oxen to the other end; going about in a circle will twist the stump out. Mincte Sponge Cake. Beat three eggs two minutes; add one and a half cups of sugar, beat two minutes; one cup of flour and one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, beat one minute; add half a cup of cold water with half a teaspoonful of soda and a spoonful of extract of lemon, beat one minute; add one cup of flour, beat one minute. Fruit Cake Without Egos. Two thirds of a cup of butter; two cups of sugar; two cups of raisins; two cups of currants: two cups of sweet milk; two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar; one of soda in the milk; six cups of flour; one nutmeg; one tablespoonful of cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, each ; a half pound of citron improves it. Bake slowly. Bread Pudding. Beat the yolks of five eggs; add a pint "of sweet milk and five tablespoonfuls of stale bread. Bake it a light brown and put on a layer of pre serves ; beat the whites of the eggs very stiff, and then beat in five tablespoonfuls of fine sugar; pour it over the top, return it to the oven, and bake a pretty light brown. If you like, add extract of lemon or vanilla to the white of eggs before putting it on. Bean Patties. Take one quart of well boiled white beans, season well with pepper and salt, add four ei'gs, beating the whites separately, two tablespoonfuls of flour, and two of sweet cream ; fry as you would fritters. These make a good side dish for tea or breakfast, are but little trouble, and very nice, and are a change from the usual method of baking and boiling them. The method employed to make hair curl by professional workers in hair is as follows : Wet the hair to be curled, wrap it smoothly around a cylindrical stick or tube of proper size, tie it in place, then put it in water and boil it two or three hours, remove it from the boiler, wrap it carefully in newspaper, and bake it in a moderate oven for an hour. Thus treated it will stay in curl permanently. Johnny-Cake Wrrn Eggs. Two cups of sweet milk; half a teaspoonful of salt; one tablespoonful of sugar; two eggs well beaten; a small teacup of white flour mixed with a teaspoonful of baking powder, and corn meal enough to make a batter. Sometimes I begin with the meal and scald it, and then use only one cup ot sweet milk and no baking powder, with no definite proportion of white flour enough to make the batter right. The batter should always be thicker when the meal is scalded than when it is not, be cause in the latter case you must allow for the meal to swell some. Of course, the milk should be added to cool the scalded meal before the eggs are put in, or the hot mush would partially cook the eggs. Cor. Inter-Ocean. Wholesale Slaughter Lightning of lieese by Not long since we noticed some of the manual evils resulting from the customary repression of the left hand, and advocated, on physical grounds, its culture equally with that ot the right band. It seems that there are not less cogent mental reasons tor developing the two sides of the body impartially. it is coming to be well known that men tal development is the result of properly- directed physical training; that the brain grows in. 6ize and power by the varied ex ercise or the senses and the will in me chanical employments quite as rapidly as by purely intellectual enorts in study or otherwise. It is equally well known to physiologists that most men are one sided n their heads as in their bodies. T he two halves of the brain are rarely developed symmetrically, as may be readily seen in the " conlorms ' or head measures accumu lated by hat-makers supplying individual customers. To some extent the difference in the contour of the two sides of the head may be due to unequal pressure on the nurse's arm, or to the habit of lying chiefly on one side while sleeping, thus causing a permanent displacement of the walls of the skull ; but the main reason appears to be our one-sided habit in education. In his fourth lecture before the Lowell Institute, Boston, Dr. Brown-Sequard ob serves that the study of the facs relating to the brain has led him to believe that "each half of the brain paradoxical as it may seem is a whole brain," each lobe being normally competent to perform all the functions ot both, not so vigorously, of course, as the two acting togtth ;r, yet with apparent completeness. Unfortu nately, however, the most of us are single brained as we are single handed, and for the same reason. IVe fail to do what is leally needed to give us two working brains. "Ihere is no question," concludes this skillful observer, "that it is our habit of making use of only one side ot the body that consigns to one-half of the brain the right side the faculty of expressing ideas by speech. If we developed both sides of our body equally, not only would there be the benefii that we could write or work with the lef hand as well as with the right, but we should have two brains instead of one,. and would not be deprived of the power of speech through disease of one side of the brain.' Scientific Amer-icm. On Monday an almost incredible occurrence transpired in the northern part of Sutter and the southern part of Butte County. On Monday evening, just before sunset, a large thunder cloud came up, apparently from the northeast, ac companied by an unusual amount of chain-lightning. First a small amount of common hail fell, and then followed sufficient snow to whiten the ground. As the bail began to fall and the light ning flashed, thousands of white geese, which were in the ponds of shallow water which exist in that locality during very wet winters, suddenly rose up in a great flutter, as it many hunters had discharged a volley among them. They went up and up, apparently to rise above the fearful cloud. It was nearly dark, and those who saw them rise thought no more of it till morning, when they' began to find dead geese, and hear of hundreds being picked up by the neighbors. Some 700 bad been found. One man picked up, on his farm, all two horses could haul, for their feathers. Their heads were badly torn and their bills split into fragments. Many of them had the feathers of their backs crisped and burnt and their bodies burst open. The portion of country thus affected was about a mile and a half wide, and reached several miles into Butte County. The terrific lightning in this cloud was witnessed by people on the Honcut, in Yuba County, and in the cen tral portion of this county. The thunder was heard twenty miles distant. Yuba City (Cal.) Banner. Ojstera Growing on Trees. Mr. C. II. Williams, a Fellow of the Geographical Society of England, tells us, in the Hartford Time, how oysters inhabit the mangrove woods in Cuba. "For several years," he says, " I resided in that island, and traveled there more than the ordinary run of foreigners, and have sev eral times come across scenes which many people would consider great curiosities one in particular. No doubt the reader will open his eyes at oysters growing on trees. Often have I seen the sneer of unbelief on the face of the ignorant when the fact had been mentioned, but grow they do, and in immense quantities. especially in the southern part of the island. I have seen miles of trees, the lower stems and branches of which were literally covered with them, and many a good meal have I enjoyed with very little trouble of procuring, and not quite so expensive as they are in London at the present time. I 6imply placed the branches over the fire, and, when opened, I picked them out with a fork or pointed stick, lhese peculiar shell-fish are in digenous in lagoons and swamps on the coast, and lis far as the tide will rise and the spray fly so will they cling to the lower parts of the mangrove trees, some times four or five deep, the mangrove being one of the very few trees that flour ish in salt water."

Perhaps In the whole category of diseases to which hu manlty is susceptible, the cough Is most neg lected in its early stage. A simple cough is generally regarded as a temporary affliction unpleasant and nothing more; but to those who have paid dearly for experience, it is the signal for attack for the most fearful of all diseases Consumption. A cough will lead to consumption if not checked so sure as the rivulet leads to the river, yet it la an easy ene my to tnwart, u met by the proper remedy Allen' Luna Balsam la the great cough rem edy of the age, and it has earned its reputation bv merit aione. eoia dv au gooa aruggisis.

Pierce, M. D., World's Dis pznsabt, Buffalo, If. Y. The great prevalence of this disease, and Its fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our best efforts for its cure. What is Consump tion? It is a disease of the lungs produced by an acrid and impure condition of the blood, which, circulating through these most delicate organs, poisons and irritates their tissues and invites the scrofulous humors of the blood, causing the deposition of tuber cles and establishing local scrofula. An other prolific exciting cause of the develop ment of scrofulous disease of the lungs, or turbercular consumption, is Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extending along the mucous lining membrane of the throat, trachea and bronchial tubes, finally attacks the substance of the lungs, and here establishes such an irritation as to Invite the blood to deposit its burden of impurities in these organs. Con sumption itself is not so often hereditary as is generally supposed. That a condition of low vitality may be transmitted from parents to children is unquestionably true. It is this deficiency of vitality which is Inherited a weakness which makes nutrition Imperfect, and leads to the deposit of tubercles. But thousands of persons who Inherit feeble vital ity would never suffer from consumption if the functions of the system were kept correct and the blood pure. When the liver becomes torpid, and but very imperfectly pours off the effete, poisonous materials of the blood, the lungs, as has before been shown, become Irri tated. The general health becomes broken down, and the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy, and confused. Pain in the right side, in. the region of the liver, and sympa thetic pain in the shoulders and spine, and through the lungs, is generally complained of. The patient has a dry, hacking cough that liver Cough! Small, minute tubercles are de veloped in the lungs, and perhaps exist for months all unknown to their victim. Nothing is done to remove the tubercles by the ordi nary treatment. Cough is only a symptom of the disease, yet this oidy is aimed at in the usual treatment. There is no rational way to cure consump tion except to purify the blood. Those poi sonous materials in the blood which cause the tubercles must be thrown off by exciting the liver to action. Vitality must be supported, the system nourished and built up, and. the development of tubercles thus prevented. Re move the blood poison by restoring the action of the liver, and the cough, which is only a symptom of the real disease, is relieved. You thereby strike at the root of the incipient con sumption and cure the patient. From the properties and remedial effects of my Golden Medical Discovery the reader will readily understand why it has been so success ful In curing this fatal malady. With it I have arrested the hacking and harassing cough, the n?ght sweats and hectic fever of the consumptive invalid, snatched from the jaws of death and restored to health and happiness many who, but for my Discovery, must soon have fallen victims to that relent less foe. God, I believe, has instilled into the roots and plants from which this wonderful medicine is extracted the healing properties by the use of which Consumption, the scourge of the human family, may In its early stages he promptly arrested and permanently cured. I do not wish to delude, flatter, and then disap point the afflicted by asserting that this can be accomplished when the lungs are half con sumed, as many do who, being devoid of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted that they may sell their often worse than worth less compounds. But if my Golden Jf&Jical Discovert Is em ployed in the first or early stages of' the dis ease, I know froraampleohpervation and actual tests in hundreds of cases that it will positive ly arrest the disease and restore health and strength. From its wonderful poweroverthis terrible disease I thought strongly of ealling it my Consumptive cure ; but from the fact that it is a perfect specific for the sore throat and hoarseness to which ministers and other public speakers and singers are subject, and also for Bronchitis and all severe couths, and is an invaluable remed v for diseases of the Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, I decided not to ppiy to it a name which might mislead and prevent its use in other diseases for which it s so admirably adapted. I wish to mention a most wonderful nutritive nronertv which it possesses and which so peculiarly adapts it to ine warns oi tne consumptive and the scroru low. The nutritive properties possessed bv Cod Liver Oil are trifling when compared with those possessed by my Discovery. It is aton lsmng to see now n nuuos up the solid mus- les, and increases the flesh and weight of those whose systems are reduced below the usual standard of perfect health. The follow ing testimonial fully confirms all that I claim or my Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of Consumption: Bleeding from Lnngs, Catarrh, Bron chitis, Consnmption A Won derful Core.

Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York city, I was attacked with Bronchi tis In a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when I was completely probated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs havinj four severe bleed mrj spells tr'thin tnx week, and first three ins'de of nine da vs. In the September following I improved sutlicient ly to be able to be about, though in a very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained nd the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this reetie state, raising blood almost daily, until about the first of March, '73, when I be came so bad as to be entirely eonfined to the house. A friend suggested vour remedies. But I was extremely skeptical thatthev would do me good, as I had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medi'dne and doctors with disgust. However, I obtained oneof your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a luantity of Dr. 8age's Catarrh Remedy, your olden Medical Discovery and rellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise I soon began to Improve. The Discovery and Pellets in a short lme brought out a severe eruption, which eoutinued for several weeks. I felt much bet ter, my appetite improved, and I gained in strengih and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no Cough what ever and I had entirely ceased to raise blood; and, contrary to the expectation of some of my mends, tne cure has remained permanent. l nave naa no more Hemorrhages irom tne Lungs, and am entirelv free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have received at your hands knows no bounds. I am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that your medicines will mas ter the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases. I have recommended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise. Gratefully yours, WM. II. 8PEXCEK. i: (. JioxtAM, J(-ieter, J. 1. In another letter Mr. Spencer says: " I have had a remarkable experience. Those familiar with my past illness look upon my present condition of health as an almost miraculous restoration. The physician who treated me during a part of my illness, and who Is proba- Diy i ne ocsi 6urgeon ana oia-scnooi physician in this city, said to me last summer that, according to the usual course of things, a man in the condition that I was in a year ago ought to have died. " Those who are in clined to he skeptical and who may doubt the authenticity or Mr. spencer's testimonial will have their skepticism removed by addressing a short note to him. I hope no one, however, will annoy him with long letters, as although he feels very grateful for his restoration to health and is willing to aid in spreading the glad tidings of relit f to other sufferers from Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption, yet if one out of a thousand who read this testimonial should write him a letter asking an answer, he would find little time to do anything else than write replies. I hope, therefore, any who do write him will say but few words, end not forget to inclose a pontage stamp for a reply, or you cannot expect him to answer. Mr. Spencer is a gentleman very widely known and, among those who know him, no one would pretend to question his statements, nor doubt his sound judgment. His testimonial is only a fair sample of thou sands of others received from thoae who have been cured of Lingering Coughs, Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption, of severe dis eases peculiar to Females, and many other forms of disease, by usicg my Family Medi cines, after they have been pronounced in curable by eminent physicians. I have more testimonials of this klud in my office than one man can lift, yet I had no room for them here, having already trespassed upon the columns of this paper more largely than I had Intended when commencing this article upon Consumption.

When I was fifteen I caught cold and for twenty-eljjht years I have been a perfect wreck of disease, at.d all the medicines and doctors' bills have run up at times fo two and three hundred doll.trs, and never any lettrr, but worse, when I gave up all hope last spring of living tbe summer through. I received one of your Aceouut Books and told my husband af ter reading it that it was too late to try further, but he said it was never too late. He went and bought two bottles and I found it was helping me very much. Since 1S41 I was troubled with Catarrh and Sore Throat, and was almost entirely deaf in one ear and my voice was as dull as could be. There was constant pain'in my head. Now my head is as souud as a dollar, my voice is c-h-ar, and I have used ten bottles of your Discovery. It has cured me of Catarrh, Sore Throat, "Heart Dis ease, Spine Affection and Torpid Liver. My Liver was very bad. My skin was rough. When I put my hand ou my b'dy it was like fl.-h scales. Now it is smooth and soft as a child's. In conclusion I will say I have been well for three months. I am a wonder to my self and friends. This is but an imperfect statement, half has not been told. Yours with respect, HESTER LACKEY. Dr. Walker tried various extracts from herbs and roots, without benefit, lie noticed, however, that Alcohol, that bane of the human race, was used in their preparation, and he determined to exclude the poison entirely from his own practice, so that the sin of making men drunkards, while pretending to cure them, should never lie at his door. The Almighty blessed his experiments, and in the Vine gar Bittei:s he has produced a pure, health-restoring agent which banishes disease in every form, re-invigorates the system, and restores strength to the fee blest sufferer. There is no part of life's citadel where the enemy can make a lodg ment that the Vinegar Bitters will not find him, and put him to the rout. Im purity of blood is the parent of disease; the liver, the stomach, the lungs, the nerves, every vital organ is affected pri marily from this cause, and in this direc tion the Vinegar Bitters acts with mag ical influence. 37 Hcman Woe.
