And thy brave image form her dread ensign.
And thou shalt see thy country soon redeemed—
Her ransom fully paid—e’en with the priceless blood
Of the “first bom,” on her fresh altars slain.
Demand for each, in fearful calls was made—
“ Thy son, thine only son, whom, thou dost love !”
And ’mid the agony of this dread sacrifice;
We strain our ear to catch the arresting voice:
“It is enough! Stay thy uplifted hand I’’
These sacred gifts of faith and patriot love
Have sealed the Nation’s freedom with her blood.

Evening Bulletin,
OUR PARENTS.
Not long since, as I took my seat in the cars
for a day’s ride, I observed, seated opposite me,
an elderly lady and a middle-aged gentleman,
who, I inferred, from some casual remark, had
been travelling a day or two. It was a yery
early hour in the morning, and the lady appa
rently was sleeping.
We rode in silence for some time, when the
lady awoke, and I heard the gentleman address
her as mother. His dignified, unobtrusive man
ner, and the tender, deferential tone of his voice,’
at once drew my attention to them, and haying
no company, my eyes and my thoughts were
my own.
All the tender care which a mother conld be
stow on an infant child, were given by that son
to his mother. The slightest movement on her
part to adjust her furs, or cloak, or over-shoes,
or any change of position, called forth his ready
hand in assistance, ahd the inquiries, “Are yon
comfortable, mother? Do yqu feel tired? Lay
your head on my shoulder, and rest yourself.”
At noon the cars stopped for the passengers
to obtain refreshments. It was snowing too fast
for the mother to go out of the cars, and the son
brought her a cup of coffee.
“Is it just right, mother?” he inquired, as she
tasted it.
“A little more cream would make it better;
it is, however, very good as it is," was her
reply.
“ let me get you some more.”
“No my son, it will make yon too much trou
ble; it is very good as it is.”
He went out and soon returned with the
cream, and poured a little into the coffee, and
then a little more, until it was “just right.” He
then sat down by her side, and I heard him say,
in the same low tone of voice, that at first at
tracted my attention, “I am glad, mother, that
I can do anything to make you comfortable, it
is such a pleasure to me.”
“I thank you my son.” she replied, in the
same spirit and tone of voice as that of her
son. ■ , -
Beautiful, thought I, as I quietly watched
them, and saw manifested thejrmutuallove and
confidence. My mind went back to the time
when this son, now in manhood’s strength, was
a little helpless infant, and I pictured that mo
ther watching over him, caring, fori him.with a
solicitude such as mothers only can feel. And
trough all the years of childhood and youth,
up to manhood, the watchful eye was ever over
him, the guiding hand ever toady to lead, and
a mother’s love ever ready to restrain him from
doing wrong. Now it is his turri, whon life’s
meridian with her is past, and the infirmities of
age are creeping on, to repay, in some degree,
for all the labor bestowed on him; and faithfully
anff affectionately did he seem-fulfilling his duty.
How many grown-rip sons there are who
seem to feel it beneath them to show any ten
derness for their mothers! It is feminine they
say. They will perform acts of kindness, but
in a business kind of way, or because it is their
duty, little dreaming that they are crushing the
maternal spirit by such cold, heartless acts.
Acts of kindness done in the spirit manifested
in the incident above mentioned, have an untold
influence. The pathway down to the grave
would be cheered; made even joyful, and old
age would would be exempt from much of the
gloom that is oiten experienced.
The reflex influence is also great. A young
man who is habitually tender of his mother, and
deferential to her, will make a good citizen, a
true friend, and will He faithful in all the walks
of life.
ECONOMY IN A FAMILY.
The is nothing which goes so far toward
placing young people beyond tbe reach of po
verty as economy in the management of house
hold affairs. It matters not whether a man fur
nishes little or much for his family, if there is a
continual'leakage in his kitchen or parlor; it
runs away he knows not how, and that demon
Waste cries, More! like the horseleech’s
daughter, until he that provided has no more
to give. It is the husband’s duty to bring into
the house; and it is the duty of the wife to see
that none goes wrongfully out of it. A man
gets a wife to look after his affairs, and to assist
him in bis journey through life; to educate
and prepare their children for a proper sta
tton in life, and not to dissipate his property.
The husband’s interest should be the wife’s care,
and her greatest ambition to carry her no far
ther than his welfare or happiness, together
with that of her children! This should be her
sole aim, and the theater of her exploits in the
bosom of her family, where she may do as much
towards making a fortune as he can in the
counting-room or the workshop. *
It is not the money earned that makes a man
wealthy—it is what he saves from his earnings.
Seif-gratification in dress, or indulgence in ap
petite, or more company than his purse can well
entertain, are equally pernicious. The first adds
vanity co extravagance; the second fastens a
doctor’s bill to a. long butcher’s account; arid
the latter brings intemperance—the worst of all
evils—in its train.
Do all the good yon can.

THE GREAT EASTERN.
About three years ago the Great Eastern
caused a great excitement here. Every feature
of her immense size was canvassed as a new won
der, and was the subject of conversation in all
circles for months before her arrival. Different
ports paraded and announced their respective
attractions to secure her visits. Down ip Maine
they built a dock to suit her size, and.a hotel in
proportion for her passengers. At last she came
to New York, As she steamed up our bay the
furor became dangerous. AIL the piers were
crowded by men and women anxious to get a
glimpse of her; the bay waserowded with boats
from all directions, and the ferryboats were
crowded with spectators to the last limit of their
respective inches. But we have seen her, and,
presto! we are used to her. Now she is no longer
a wonder. She comes and goes, and the people
hardly know it. Yet the great shipis not now
any less wonderful in any respect than she was
three years ago, as we can declare, having visi
ted her purposely to see.
When we left the Battery the. steamer- in
which we went was of a tolerable size—not the
largest we had ever seen, but yet somewhat
larger than a peanut shell. Her decks were
comfortably roomy, and her smokepipe would
have been of a good size even for the mouth of
that tough customer who had his one eye punch
ed out by Ulysses, the traveller and special cor
respondent. Before we had finished onr’jour
ney however, there came a change, though ex
actly when and where it: took place we cannot
say. All right when we leit the Battery, we
continued all right as we swept up past the
piers in the East river and ran by the pigmy
sloops and schooners that abound there. Among
the minnows of rowboats we figured like a bran
new double-jointed Triton. But when we were
alongside; the Great Eastern we were very like
the “litfle boat” that Peter Bell sighed for.
We were infinitely little—boat, pipe aud pas
sengers. We felt as if we had swept against
the side of a planet, and looked up and contem
plated onr ascent to the inhabited regions as
inehworms might. Numbers of others, Pucks
and Titanias, were there before ns—very little
people—who looked down from the decks- above,
and peered out from the portholes here and there,
with a kind of idle curiosity—insignificant, pig
my people. So up we went to the deck, and
discovered when there that we were as little as
any one.
Cheops who built the great knew
how little impression the. mere statement of
numbers makes upon the mind. He did not
merely record how many workmen he had, or
how long he kept them busy. He gave an idea
of the magnitude; of that labor in another way,
and recorded “the quantity of radishes, onions
and garlic ” eaten by the builders while the work
was in progress. Herodotus, amazed at the
quantity, gave expression to his astonishment
in these words:—“ If this, then, is a true record
of the radishes, what a vast sum must have been
spent on the; iron -tools they found it necessary
to use.” In such a way the human mind, lost
in the endeavor to appreciate the proper great
ness of a really wonderful,labor, takes refuge in
the contemplation off the trivialities associated
with it, since it can grasp these latter with so
much more ease.
Apply this plan of contemplation to the Great
Eastern; for she is to be classed with the Pyr
amids, and takes |ier place in the history of hu
man* achievements beside those vast structures.
Her length nearly coincides with the measure
ment of the great one. Like the Pyramids, she
seems rather a great work of nature than a
thing made with hands. Numbers in feet and
inches are of no assistance in the attempt to
understand her size. Every link of her great
cables weighs seventy-two poilnds; she carries
four thousand such links, as much iron as two
hundred carmen’s carts conld carry, forged into
the single item of chain cable “by iron.tools.”
There is one steam engine of sixty horse power
whose only business it is to manage these cables
and the hooks at the ends of them. These hooks
—anchors, if you prefer that name—with which
the great ship fumbles about in the deap for
the granite formations, the ribs of an antedilu
vian- world, to hold fast by, were also made
with tools and have, some weight of their own.
If one was cut into seven pieces, each piece
would be a load for one of the large coal carts
which go about our streets carrying, if the coal
dealers don’t lie, two thousand pounds apiece.
Or it would take just forty-six shots of Gen
eral GiUmore’s three hundred-pounder to throw
one of these anchors from Morris Island into
Charleston city. The four great anchors of the
Great Eastern would make one hundred and
eighty-six of those pills. Oh that they might
fall on the toes of Jeff. Davis.
Besides the four anchors which we have thus
reduced to pills and popular appreciation, the
Great Eastern has six other anchors for ordina
ry occasions, and not so large.
Similar heavy jobs to th-t of the anchors are
divided among the different, steam engines on
.board.' For, in addition to her crews of engi
neers and sailors, this Great Eastern has a com
plete crew of steam engines. These fellows are
not,often mustered on deck; hnt they are kept
in none the less excellent order for that. They
number just thirty-three. Now. thirty-three
steam engines not only require a very Jarge
number of tooll to make them, but. being made
th6y..ean do an iptoense amount of-work. They
do all sorts of chores—lift heavy wc ghts load
the ship,', pump water and so on. Tffey make
themselves generally useful. We number with
the rest,the main engines by mean of which this
great njass of material is made to obey the least
impulse of-her captain’s will, ana to: become
tractable as a, spaniel—engines by moans of
which the great shipis made “ manageable as a
little yacht.” '
Within the; ship several hotels have been
built, at which ,the prices of be rd v ry to suit
the public purse. In all, the a com m od tion~
are excellent; good bedrooms, large parlors, and
the best of-attendance. Besides these hotels
there are two or three private Houses for the
accommodation of families, with nice suits of
rooms, dining rooms, sitting rooms and bed
chambers in every respect complete. Recently
the captain explored some hitherto undiscovered
districts in the ship, and erected there excellent
baths, and now passengers can be accommoda
ted with salt or fresh water baths, hot or cold,
at any hour. There yet remain some extensive
waste .districts in the ship which will be ex
plored, surveyed and settled in due time, and
be made to conduce to the comfort of passengers
as new improvements suggest themselves. One
might cross the Atlantic in this ship and hardly
know that he was at sea, so complete are the ar
rangements for the comfort of passengers, and
so easy are the ship’s movements.
How much the Great Eastern holds we don’t
know, and, unlike the gentleman from the South
ern States, we can’t even “reckon.” Part of
her present cargo is one hundred and fifty thou
sand bushels of wheat, and when we went
through we had some trouble to find it. All
those oriental merchantmen whose “shipboards
were made of the fir trees of Senir” might be
stowed away and be as hard to find as the
wheat was. We have the impression that the
subterranean regions of the ship bear a close
relation to the mammoth cave of Kentucky. In
short, nothing so immense ever floated away in
one piece since those uncomfortable and chaotic
days when the world was not yet set in order
when the continents were not yet located, and
had to be towed about from place to place to
keep the sublunary balance.
Previous to 1854 there was a problem in
steam navigation that puzzled the British. On
the passage to Australia steam was hardly able
to hold its own against the ancient invention of
sails in the ancient ships, and the clipper ships
beat the steamers all to pieces; and the reason
§ntniatt f ivattpligi
was that no steamer could carry her coal for,
such a voyage and a cargo too. Steamers car
ried only enough coal to take them a fraction
of the distance, and while they stopped to take
in coal at the various stages they lost more
time than made up the difference in speed be
tween steam and sails.
For the solution of this problem the Great
Eastern was projected—a ship so large that her
size should bear some relation to the distance
she was to travel; and, in fact, her tonnage is
equal to one ton for every mile of that voyage.
Bat when she was finished, the trade in that
direction was found insufficient to support her,
and she inevitably fell, by a kind of commercial
gravitation, into the great intercourse between
Europe and the United States, in which she has
now made eight successful voyages. Some ac
cidents have happened to her; but each of these
has served to prove her—especially the great
est, when she dashed on the rocks near Mon
tauk, and had such holes made in her bottom
as would Have sunk instantly any other ship
afloat. Yet many of the passengers then on the
ship did not know that an accident had happen
ed. All came info port safely, and not a pack
age of the cargo had received, a'spot.
Such circumstances, must eventually com
mend mammoth ships as the only fit ones to
cross the ocean with passengers.
The Great Eastern is at present commanded
by Captain Paton; under whom she is now in
her sixth voyage to this port; and under whom,
also she was brought safely through the accident
to which we bave referred above.-—M T. Paper,
THE GREEK FIRE-
The recent mention of the use by General
Gilmore of the Greek fire in the assault upon
Charleston, suggests an inquiry as to the resem
blance of what we know by that name to the sub
stance used in the defence of Constantinople.
This city sustained the.attack of the caliph
Moaurzah through seven successive years, (from
A. D. 668,t0 615, j ? and again a siege;from the
Saracen -general. Moslemah, (A. D. Tiff 118 )
through the skill with which this element w»~
used. The following extract from Gibbon em
braces perhaps all that is known of it:
“In the two sieges, the deliverance of Con
stantinople may be chiefly ascribed to the nov
elty, the terror, and the real efficacy of the Greek
fire. The important secret of compounding and
directing,this artificial flame was imparted by.
Callinious, a native of Heliopolis, in Syria, who
deserted from the service of the Caliph to that
of the Emperor. The skill of a chemist and en
gineer was equivalent to the succor of fleets and
armies; and this discovery or improvement of
the military art was fortunately reserved for
the distressful period when the degenerate Ro
mans of the East were incapable of contending
ing with the warlike enthusiasm and youthful
vigor of the Saracens. The historian who pre
sumes to analyze this composition should sus
pect his own ignorance, and that of his Byzan
tine guides, so prone to the marvelous, so care
less, and in this instance so jealous of the truth.
From their obscure, and perhaps fallacious hints,
it should seem that the principal ingredient of
the Greek fire was th e.naptha, or liquid bitumen,
a light, tenacious, arid inflammable oil, which
springs from the earth, and catches fire as soon
as it comes in contact with the air. The naptha
was mingled, I know not by what methods, or
in what proportions, with sulphur and with the
pitch that is extracted, from evergreen firs.
From this mixture, which produced a thick
smoke and a loud explosion, proceeded a fierce
and obstinate flame, which not only rose in per
pendicular ascent, bat likewise burnt with equal
vehemence in the descent, or lateral progress;
instead of being extinguished, it was nourished
and quickened by the element of water, and
sand, urine, or vinegar were the only remedies
that could damp the fury of this powerful agent,
which was justly denominated by the Greeks
the liquid or the ‘maritime fire. For the annoy
ance of the enemy it was employed with equal
effect by sea and land, in battles or in sieges.
It was either poured from the ramparts in large
boilers, or launched in red-hot balls of stone and
iron, or darted on arrows and javelins, twisted
round with flax and tow, which had deeply im
bibed the inflamable oil; sometimes it was de
posited in fire-ships, the victims and instruments
of a more simple revenge, and was. most com
monly blown through long tabes of copper, which
were planted in the prow of a galley, and most
fancifully shaped into the mouths of savage
monsters, that seemed to vomit a stream of li
quid and consuming fire. This important art
was preserved at Constantinople,: as the palla
dium of the state; the galleys and artillery
might occasionally be lent to 'the allies of
Rome; but the composition of the Greek fire
Was concealed with the most , jealous scruple,
and the terror off their eneriries was increased
and prolonged by their ignorance and surprise.
In the treatise of the administration of the em
pire, the royal author suggests the answers and
excuses that might best elude the indiscreet cu
riosity and unfortunate demands of the barba
rians. They should be told that the mystery
of the .Greek fire had been revealed bv an angel
to the first and greatest of the 'Constantines,
with a sacred injunction that this gift of . heaven,
this peculiar blessing of the Romans, should
never be communicated to any foreign nation;
that the prince and subject were alike bound to
religions silence under the temporal and spirit
ual penalties of treason and sacrilege; and that
the impious attempt would provoke the sudden
and supernatural vengeance of the God of the
Christians.
" By these precautions the secret was confined
abov four hundred years to the Romans of the
Ea i and at the end of the eleventh century,
the Pisans, to whom every, sea and .every art
were familiar, the effects without un
derstanding the composition of the Greek fire.
It was at length either discovered or stolen by
the Mohametans; and in the holy wars of Syria
and . Egypt, they retorted an invention, con
trived against themselves, on the heads of the
Ghrrtians', A knight, who despised the swords
and iances of the Saracens, relates with heart
felt neerity his own fears and those of his,
companions, at the sight and sound of thc.mis
ehievous engine that discharged a torrent of the
Greek fire—the feu Gregeois, as it is styled by
the more early of the French writers. It came
flying through the air, says Joiriville, like a
winged, long-tailed dragon, about the thickness
of a hogshead, with the report of thunder; and
the velocity of lightning, and the darkness of
the night was dispelled by this deadly illumi
nation. The use of the Greek, or, as it might
now be called, of the Saracen fire, was contin
ued to the middle of the fourteenth century,
when the scientific, or casual compound of nitr e i
sulphur, arid charcoal,, effected a new revolu
tion in the art of war and the history of man
kind.”
; Mulle, in his “Fasten de la France remarks
that this cheinieal compound was re-discovered
in the reign of Louis XT.; but that prince
alone knew the secret. of it, and died without
making it known; that, however, the know
ledge acquired by the moderns in regard to the
rales of combustion, would enable ns to disco
ver the Greek fire again, or, at least, some equi
valent composition. Which is the case ? Have
we found the real element, or simply something
resemblingit? ,
HOW TO DRY SWEET COEN.
When the corn is in good condition for eat
, ing, the grains being fully grown, boil a quan
tity of ears just enough to cook the starch, and
then let them cool and dry a few hours, and
then shell or cut off the grains and spread them
in the sun till dried. The best way to dry the
corn is to nail , a piece of cloth, of very open
texture on a frame, which if two feet wide, and
five long, will be of a convenient size to handle.
, T If toe corn is spread thinly upon this cloth it
will dry quickly without souring. It should
be covered with a piece of mosquito netting to
keep off toe flies. Another person gives the
following directions for drying sweet corn:
“As soon as the com is fit for the table, husk
and spread toe ears, .in an open oven, or some
quickly drying place. When the grains loosen
shell the corn, .or shell as soon as you can.
Then spread upon a cloth todryinthe sun, or
on paper in a warm oven; stir often, that it
may dry quickly and not qyfjrheat. It niore
resembles the undried by its being whole, is
sweeter, and retains more of i s natural flavor
by drying faster. When who ly dried expose
it to the wind by turning it's lowly from dish
to dish; the wind blows off all toe troublesome
white chaff,”

THE EICHARDSONPEEMIUM
BTtmiAL CASKETS,
Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or
other material, and constructed substantially air-tight
by the hovel invention of patent Circular Ends, with
out any joints, making it impossible for oxygen to pe
netrate from the outside, thus rendering them more
durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which
they are needed. ' ■" • 'a-’-'"-’
Theyare tastefully rnanufacturedfrom [grained Rose-.
-woo'd, Mahogany, Black Walriht; and other materials
that render them less expensive and-place them with
in the means of persons of moderate circumstances,
and all finished according 'to the’ wishes and taste of
those giving the orders.
While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap
propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and
appearance is such, as entirely to do away with all dis
agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth
ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is
in the remotest, degree repulsive, but quite the con
trary, it is beautiful. And-surely that whidh tends in
any degree to soften the'poignancy of'grief in the
hour of bereavementj'must commend' itself to the fa
vorable consideration of 'every afflicted heart, and
sympathizing friend. , , ;
The Caskets when required, ard made air-tight,
emitting no offensive odor,and hence are specially
valuable in the removal of deceased bodies from any
of the battle fields, and other distant points to remote
localities for interment, and are not liable to tffe ob
jections frequently made by Railroad Companies,,
when offered for trahsportatioH.with the usual prepa
rations.
We guarantee, in our hands, the removal of the
dead with perfect safety, no, matter how long buried,
and if recently interred, in a. good state of preserva
tion, and without the least unpleasant odor, or we
will make no charge for the Casket.
The .Caskets are furnished at one-half the cost of
the so-called metallic coffin. ' '

AYERS’
SARSAPARILLA,
THE WORLD’S GREAT REMEDYEOB
Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases.
From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford,
I have sold large quantities of your Sa.usapab.illa.
out never yet one_ bottle which failed of the desired
effect and fall'satisfaction to those who took it. As
last as try it,' they agree there Has been no
medicine h ke it before in our community.”
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Tfl.
cers, Scores, .and all Diseases of the Skin.
' t Prom Rev. Bobt. Stratton, Bristol, England.
, I only do my duty to yon and the public, when I
add.iny testimony to that you publish of the medicinal
virtues of your Sarsaparilla. My daughter, aged ten,
had an afflicting humor in her ears', ey es, and hair for
years, winch we were unable to pure until we tried your
Sarsaparilla. She has been well for some months.’ ’
Irbin Mrs. 1 Jane E. Bice, a well-known and much-es
- teemed lady of Dennisville, Gape-May Co., N.J. •
- It? daughter has suffered for a year past with a
eruption, which was very troublesome.
-Nothing afforded any relief until we'tried your Sarsa
parilla, which soon completely cured- her. : ’
Prom Charles P. Gage, Esq,, of the widely-known
wage, Murray &Co., manufacturers of enamelled pa
pers in Nashua, N. H. . '
. I had for several years a very troublesome humor
m,my face, which.grew constantly worse untijit dis
ngured my features and became an intolerable afflic
taon., X tried almost every thing a man could of both
advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever,
untul took your Sarsaparilla. It immediately made
my face worse, as you told-me it : might-for a time: but
jl*S» weeks the.new skin began to form under the
blotches, and continued until my: face is as smooth as
anybody’s, and lam without any symptoms of the
disease-that I know of. - I enjoy perfect health, and
withqut.a:doubt owe it to your, Sarsaparilla. >'
Erysipelas—General Debility—Purify the
Prom Dr. Robh Sawin, Houston St., New York.
Dr. Ater. I seldom fail t 6 remove Eruptions
and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering' use of your
Sarsaparilla, aAd I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we
possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have supplied to
the profession as well as to the people.”
From J. E. JohnSton, Esq., "Whiteman. Ohio.
/‘ For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas on
my right arm, during which time I tried all the cele
brated physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of
dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad
that the cords became visible, and the doctors decided
that my arm mustbeamputated. I began takingyour
Sarsaparilla. Took two bottles, and some of your
Piles. Together they have cured me. lam now as
well and ,_soundas any body. : Being in a public place,
my case is known to every body in this community,
and excites the wonder of all.”
From Ho fi, Henry Monro, M P., of Newcastle,
C. W., a leadingjnemberoftheCanadianParliament.
“I have used your Sarsaparilla in my ihmily, for
general debility, and for purifying the blood, with vpry
betteficial results, andfeel confidence incommending it
to the afflicted.’,’
St. Anthony's Tire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald
. Head, Sore Eyes.
From Harvey Siekler, Esq., the able editor of the
•Tunkliatmock Democrat, Pennsylvania.
“ Our only child, about three years of age, was at
tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed aloathsome and virulent sore,
which.cPvered ms face, and actually blinded hiseyes
for some days. A skilful: physician applied nitrate
of, silver and other remedies, without any apparent"
effect. For fifteen , days we guarded his hands, lest
with them he should tear open the festering and cor
rupt wound which covered his whole .face. Having
tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began
giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of
potash lotion, as you direct; The sore.beganto heal
when we had given the first bottle, and was, well when
we had finished the second. The child’s eyelashes,
which had come out, grew again, and he is now as
healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor
hood predicted that the child must die, ”
Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep
sia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia,
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly
cured by this Ext. Sarsaparilla.

From Rev, J.Ncwton Brown, D. Editor cf the Ffacgdqpedia of
Rdigiom Knowledge,
Although not disposed to iavor or recommend Patent Medicines to
.general; through distrust of their ingredients and effects; I yet .know
of ho sufficient 'reasons' why -a man may not testify to the benefits he
believe? .himself ; to have received from any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may tbus contribute to the benefit of othere.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, pre»
paredby Dr.: C. M. Jackson, of this city, because X was pregodJotd
against them for many years; under the impression that they were
chiefly an alcoholic mixture.' X am indebted to my friend Robert
Shoemaker, JBsq-* tor the removal of ibis prejudice by proper tests,
‘ and tor. encouragement to try them* when suffering frpm great and
; .Jong-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at
. the;beginning of the 'present year, was followed by evident miff
‘ restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not
'ftolt'tor six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I
therefore thank God and my fritmd for directing me to the use of them.
