DE SOTO, FULTON, GRANT.
The following lines were read at the late festival
to Gen. Grant, at Memphis, in honor of the opening
of the Mississippi:
The daring Spaniard, when his eyes Beheld,
For the first time, yon noble riVer roll,
And sparkle in the sunbeams, as it bore
Its mighty current onward to the sea,
Fell upon bended knee and worshipped God
Aloud, for that his painful task was done.
The secret of the ages he had solved-
The Mississippi, sire of floods, stood forth,
Embanked in verdure, bordered by a soil
Kicher than Egypt’s delta. ,
Science and commerce winged their pinions there,
And wrote his hake, De Sotq, on their scrolls.
Ages rolled by, the tawny savage fled —
The white man launched his boats upon the flood,
The torest fell, the fertile soil gave back
Unto the sower’s hand a hundredfold:
Then rose the genius Fulton, and he taught
To stem the uncqnquered flood, to push the weight
Of mightiest keels against the heaving mass,
That untold centuries had crowned with power.
He sent his messengers in smoke and flame
Up to the Mississippi’s very fount,
And by the Spaniard’s name he wrote his own—
Fulton, the nation's benqfactor..
Ton sire of floods was the .great bond that joined
These waters into one: his bosom bore ,
In precious freightage all that nature yields '
From farthest N ortn down to a torrid clime;
Its channel was the highway of the West:
Science had made his heaving mass her own; ■
Beauty and lore dwelt by him all
Fraternal hands joined hands along his banks;
His very waters uiade u‘s all akin.
Then spoke an enemy—and on his banks , , ,
Armed toon appealed, and cannon shot proclaimed
The Mississippi closed—the mighty stream
Found by De Soto and by Fulton, won 1,
One thought to chain him J ignominious thought!
But then the grand old monarch shook his locks
And burst the fetters like a Samson freed! ;
The heights were crowned with ramparts sheltering
those
Whose treason knew no bounds: the frowning forts
Belched lightnings, and the morning gun
A thousand miles told mournfully the tale,
The Mississippi closed.
Not long j from the’ Lord God pf Hosts was sent
A leader who with patient vigil planned
A great deliverance: height by height was-gained,
Island and hill and woody bank.and cliff,
Month followed month, till on oiir natal day
The .last great barrier fell, and never more r l
The Sire of Waters shall obstruction know!
Now with D'e Sotti'a name, add Fulton’s, see
The greater name of Grant |
Our children's* children, noble Grant, shall sing
That great deliverance 1 On the floods of spring
Thy name shall sparkle, smiling commerce tell
Thy great achievement which restores the chain,
Never again to break, which makes tis one.
< TRUE COURAGE*
‘Boys,’ said oiie of our brave soldiers, ‘you
had better be heroes dead, than cowards living.’
Those words of a true patriot, soldier, and
Christian now gdne to his reward, were spoken
during a fit of momentary delirium, as he lay
suffering under the effects of a surgical opera
tion. * Although not rational when uttering
these noble w6rds, yet they were the real senti
ments, of <?ne wbo had consecrated himself upon
the altar of his country, often expressed in other
words* on many other occasions. ' - .
This sentiment is worthy of the serious con
sideration of- every boy in our land, and the
duties therein implied should be readily and
cheerfully discharged by all, old and young, who
regard their own good name, and are willing to
make the necessary sacrifices and efforts to se
cure it.
The question often arises in the mind of
many boys, “In what waycan I show my he
roism and prove to others that I am no cow
ard?” - '
| will point out some of the ways in which
they can do this.
They can do it by a faithful performance of
all their duties to God their Maker. It often
requires great courage to face the scorn and ri
dicule of ungodly companions and discharge the
duties that God requires. That boy is a greater
hero, who refuses to break the Sabbath, or take
the name of God, in vain, or speak a false word,
or put to his lips the intoxicating cup, when
tempted to do so by wicked companions, than
the prgve soldier who marches ,at the word of
command to meet the enemy in deadly strife.
Truly brave boys will suffer the sneer of ungod
ly acquaintances, or even death itself, rather
than show their cowardice in disobeying the
command of God.
pother Wfyjlh .which bqys qjan'shay true
courage, is by prompt and cheerful obedience to.
their Some boys think they show great
bravery by disregarding the commands and
wishes of their parents: they pretend to be very
independent, and say they are not going to be
" tied to their mother’eapron stringsyet they
know they ought to obey their parents, bntfear
that some of their bad companions will laugh
at them, and call them cowards. They wilfully
disobey their parents, and so grow up to be bad
boys and men, a curse to themselves, and des
pised by all their friends. Such boys are ■really
the meanest kind of cowards. They are afraid
to do right. , •
Boys can show true courage by improving all
their time’and 'opportunities to fit themselves
for future usefulness, by obedience to their
teachers, and by kindness and politeness to all.
Show me a boy who thus tries to improve
his time; Who is obedient, kind, tththful, and
above all who fears to disobey God’s
and I will show you a true hero. Hemaynever
command an army or represent his country in
Congress, but such an one is a hero neverthe
less. ; T i S A
If any of our young readers wish to know how
they may become truly brave, and secure the
respect and esteem of all, let them take the
Bible for their daily guide/ study and fdllow its
teachings, and the examples of the great and
good men there spoken 'of, and I can assure
them they will live an honored and useful life, and
secure that croWn which is given only to those
who prove themselves to be true Christian
heroes.— Evangelist,

“ I FEEL IT FULL.”
In the deepening twilight of a summer even
ing a pastor called at the residence of one ot
his parisihoners, and found, seated in the door
way, a little boy with both hands extended up
ward, holding a line.
“ What»are you doing here, my little friend ?”
inquired the minister.
“Flying my kite, sir,” was the prompt reply.
“Flying your kite!” exclaimed the pastor;
“I can see no kite: you can see none,”
“ I know it, sir,” responded the lad; “I can
not see it, but I know it is there for If eel it

GLEANINGS FROM THE FOEEIGN MIS-
SIONARY FIELD.
SLAVERY IN AFRICA.
Jer. 44. 6,7: Violence and spoil is heard in
her, before me continually is grief and wounds.
One of the worst among the darker sides of
heathenism is slavery in Africa. It has been
practiced for many centuries among the negoes.
In many countries you may count among four
negroes, three slaves and one free man.' The
kiugs themselves are the most diligent slave
graders. One of them said once to a European
traveller, “ We seek three things of you; and
will give you three others for them. We want
muskets, powder and brandy; we will give you
in return, men, women and children.” And
whence came the numerous slaves? Chiefly
through war. They are captives taken in war.
Just as in the chase, traps are laid to catch wild
animals, so kings go to war to take men. Entire
tribes are destroyed in this manner, in a single
war. Districts, of country which a hundred
years ago were very flourishing, have by this
means become wasted and depopulated. The
king of Ashantee once brought twenty thousand
slaves home from war; the weakest he offered up
as sacrifices to the fetishes, the remainder he of- 1
fered for sale. And this conduct of the kings is
imitated by their subject on a snjall scale in the !
limits of their own tribes. Bouses are broken
into at night, in* search of children, who are
torn away from the side of their sleeping pa
rents. Whole families are surprised by night;
the robbers dig a ditch around the house and
then set the house on fire. If the unhappy in
mates try* to escape, thfey fall into the ditch and
are seized with their children and dragged away,
Ctained fast to one another with heavy fetters,
they are now compelled to follow the slave cara
vans which make their, way across the deserts
under the burning sun of Africa, to the seals of
the slave traffic on the coast. Bere and there
a poor woman, a'weak girl sinks to the earth.
Then you may hear the blows of the whip,, ad
ministered to urge on .the.weary creatures. Tn
indescribable pain, they gather up the remnants
of their strength and drag on a little farther un
til nature at last is overpowered. The cry of
the caravau now is “ Gut their throats!” and it
is‘regarded as an act of humanity for the driver
to do so. Often the women have to carry -bottles,
and sacks, and they must always take their small
children on their backs. Not seldom the driver
rides whip in hand which he swings incessantly,
and drives the negroes in a trot over the hot
sand. Those who sink down a?e beaten till they
get up; the sick are burned with red hot irons.
If there is a scarcity of water before the end of
the journey, the weakest slaves are set apart from
the rest and left in the desert to perish from'
thirst, while fhk rest go forward. Hundreds,
yes thousands of slaves lie bleaching in the dread-,
ful deserts and reveal to the traveller the misery
and' the woe of Africa. Arrived at the place of
sale, a selection is made; the worthless ones
whom the dealers reject are often too numerous
to let go in the community. In Badagry, 750
of such creatures were all put into canoes at once,
guided into the midst of the stream, and there,
with hands and feet tied, were thrown, one after
another, into the water. In Loango a great num
ber of unsold negroes were collected together
and beaten to death with clubs. With heart
rending cries, they often beseech the captains of
slave vessels to take them away with them, since
those not sold are often left shut up without food
till they die of hunger.
DYING BED OF A HEATHEN.
Rom. 45. 3, 17: “And the way of peace have
they not known.”
The sacred Ganges is the holiest dying bed
which a Hindoo can imagine. Thither came two.
sons, carrying with them their aged, dying father.
It is still early morning and a cold north wind is
blowing; but the old man must come of his
quiet chamber where he might die in peace, into
the frosty air His sons pour one shell full; after
another of the Ganges water over his body, place
Mm then quite in the water, and rub the up,
per part of his body with mud. They fill his
mouth with the same material, and shout into his
ears the names of their idol gods. It is a me:
lancholy spectacle, “ but whoever so dies,” say;
the priests, “ dies happy.” ’
WHY THE DEAD MUST NOT EISE.
John 5. 28, 29: “The hour is coming and now is
in the which all that are in their graves shall hear
his voice and shall come forth; - they that have some
good unto the resurrection of life, and they that
have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation.”'
The missionary Moffat relates the following
I,visited a chief who lived some hundreds of.
iniles from our mission station in Lattakee. He j
hM'Hi'ade [himself famous by his conquests' and I
had the terror of the countryln a/con- j
versation in which I had with this man of war,
and of,Wood, I took occasion to speak of the re- 1
surreciion. The chief understood me, “ Whit,” 5
he cried out, quite beside himself, “ what are j
thoselwords of yours about the dead? Shall the 1
dead arise ?” Yes all the dead will arise, ;[ “ Shall 1
my father arise?” Yes, your father will rise, i
“ Shaluall who have falleu ou the field of battle ‘
come W life ?” Yes; “ And all who haye been \
devoured by bears, tigers','hyenas and crocodiles,
shdll they all live again'?” Yes, they will ap
pear in the judgment. “ And those whose
corpses have fallen upon the sand of the desert,
and have wasted away, and their ashes scattered
to the winds, shall they too rise?” This ques
ties he put with an air of triumph, as if he had
stopped my mouth with it. Yes, I answered,
not one of them will be forgotten. The chief
then fixe! his eyes upon me: “My father,” said
he as he laid his hand upon my breast, “ I km
you much; your visit and your presence have
made niy heart as white as milk. The words of
your mouth are as sweet as' honey; but what you
say of a resurrection is too hard to be understood
I will not again hear it said that the dead wil
rise. The dead will not arise !” What, said I.
can a man who has been so enlightened, throw
away his wisdom and turn aside from understand- •
ing? Tell me, my friend, why must I be silent,i
and speak no more of the resurrection ? At this
he raised his arm that was so mighty in battle,
swung it to and fro as if about to hurl, a lance,
and exclaimed: “I have slain my thousands;
shall they arise ?” Never before had the light
of divine revelation pierced his wild spirit : never
had his conscience reproved him fro a single one
of the thousand deeds of rapine and murder that
had marked his long life. Men and brethren l
I ask you, is not this literally walking in dark
ness and in the land of the shadow of death ?
THE LANDING OP WILLIAMS AT TUTUILA,
John 4. 35: “Say not ye, there are yet foul:
months and then cometh harvest? Behold I say.
unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields;;
tor they are white already to harvest. ”
One of the most delightful surprises was in
store for Williams when he,.in 1881 upon his
missionary journey to the Samoa Islands, landed!
upon Tutuila. He there found in the same-
Leone Bay, in which Capt. de Langle had fallen,
a prey tt> the fury of the savages, the whole shor§j
lined with the huge forms of these swarthy islandii
erg. He brought his vessel to a stand, and all his
associates knelt with him in prayer. At this the
chief of the savages sprang into the water close
by the boat, seized it with his hand and ex
-1 claimed: “Son, will you not come to us on the
land ?” The missionary replied; I have beard
you are very savage; you have previously made
way with two boats. Will you not hurt me if I
come ? “ 0,” exclaimed the chief, “we are not
savages any more, we are Christians.” “You
Christians!” asked Williams in joyful. sur
prise ; “where did you hear of Christianity?”
This was the answer: “ A great chief from the
country of the white man, named Williams came
to Savaii twenty moons ago and left behind some
teachers of religion- So;ne of our people were
there and began, on their return, to teach their
friends, of whom many ai-e now sons of the word.
There they are; don’t you see them?” And in
fact, separated from the multitude that lined the
shore, under the shadow of a wide spreading
tree, sat about fifty persons together, each with a
white cloth around the arm. Upon the mission
ary’s asking what that meant, the chief said:
“ They are Christians, that white cloth is to dis
tinguish them from the heathen.” Williams
cried out: “I am the man of whom you speak \
my name is Williams. I brought the teachers
of religion to Savaii twenty moons ago.” With
that the chief gave a sign and the whole multi
tude bounded into the sea. In a moment they
were at the boat, raised it up and bore it, amid
loud cries, with all its freight to the shore. As
soon as they were landed, the chief gave his hand
to Williams and led him to the company of
Christians. To his question where they had
learned the Christian religion, one of the num
ber stepped out and related how he had been in
company with the teachers of religion and h-owhe
afterwards had attempted to instruct his country
men. “There," he continued, “ is'our chapel,
do you see it?” and he pointed to thedark shade
of a group of bread fruit and banana trees, amid
which appeared, the thatched roof of a small
place of worship. They went to it and Williams
asked “ who holds service on your sacred days ?”
“I,” was the answer. “And who taught you?”
“ Why,” said he"have you not seen the little ca
noe lying sidewise on the shore ? That is my
boat in which I journey to the teachers, procure
a supply of religion, bring it carefully back, and
give it to the people. When that is gone Igo
again and procure a new supply, and now you
are here—we have looked for you so long. Where
have you got our teachers-? Give me a man
who is full of religion, so that I need not go
such perilous jburneys to get it.” The tears
trickled from the eyes of the dark man when
Williams told him he was not able to bring
teachers with him for this island.

FACTS AND FREAKS OF CUBEENCY.
Many things have been used at different times
as money: cowrie shells, in Africa;. wajnpum by
American ludians; cattle in ancient Greece. The
Carthaginians used leather as money, probably
bearing some mark or stamp. Frederic 11., at
the siege of Milan, issued stamp leather as mo
ney. In 1360, John the Good, King of France,
; who was taken prisoner by tbe celebrated Black
Prince, and sent to England until ransomed, also
issued leather money, having a sniaii silver nail
in-the centre. Salt is the common money in
Abyssinia; ‘codfish in Iceland and Newfoundland.
“ Living money,” slaves and oxen, passed current
with .the Anglo-Saxons, in payment of: deßts,
Adam Smith says that’ in his day there was a
village in Scotland where it was not uncommon
fur workmen to carry nails, instead of mo'ne'y, to
the baker’s-shop and the ale-honse. Mareo Polo
found in China money made of the bark of the
mulberry tree, bearing the stamp of the sovereign,
which it was death to counterfeit. Tobacco was
generally used as money in Virginia up to 1660,
i fifty-seven years after the foundation of that col
ony. In 1641, the Legislature of Massachusetts
enacted that wheat should be received in payment
of all debtsj-and the convention in France, during
the revolution, on a proposition of Jean-Bon-Saipt
Andre, long discussed the propriety of adopting
wheat as money, as the-measure of value of all
things. •Platina was coined in Russia from 1828
to 1845. But the metals best adapted and most
generally used as coin are copper, nickel, silver,
and gold, the two first being now used for coins of
small value, to make change; the two latter, com
monly designated “ the precious metals,” as mea
sures of value as legal tenders. On the continent
of Europe, a composition of silver and copper,
called billion, has long been used for small coins,
which are made current at a much higher value.
: than that of the metals they contain. In China,
Syeee silver is the .principal currency, and is
. merely ingot silver of an uniform fineness, paid
and received by weight. Spanish dollars also
circulate there, but only after they have been as
sayed and stamped as proof that they are of the
standard fineness. As Asia Minor produced gold,
• its earliest coinage was of that metal. Italy and
' Sicily possessing copper, bronze was first coined
; there. Herodotus says the Lydians were the first
people known to have coined gold and silver
They had gold coin at the close of the* ninth
century b. c;”Greeee Proper onl/at the close of
the eighth century b. c. Servius Tullius, King
of Rome, made the pound weight of copper cur-,
rent money. The Romans first coined silver 281
B. c., and gold 207 b. c. —Moran on Money.
HOW TO SWEEP A CARPET-
Take a common wash-tub, or some vessel large
enough to admit a broom freely, and put in clean
cold water to the depth of a foot or more. Then
take a broom (one partly worn!so as to be a
little stiff is the best,) dip it in six inches or so
and hold it over the tub, or go out doors and
knock off all the drops of water. This can be
done most effectually ■ by holding it in one hand
: and rapping it with the other on the broom corn
above where It is wet. Commence brushing
lightly at first, going over with it the second
i time, or more, and if your carpet is very dusty,
'.do .not sweep more than a square yard or two
be.fpre dipping your broom into the water again j
this will rinse off all the particles df dust adher
ing to the broom. : Rap off the drops of water
as before, and begin again,'continuing to do .so
till the whole is cleaned. Should the water get
very dirty before- completing the room it ean be
changed. One who has never tried the experi
ment, will probably be surprised at the quantity
of dirt which will be washed from the broom
into the water. A carpet can be cleaned more
effectually in tbis-way than it can possibly be
; done with a dry broom, as the particles of dust
adhere to the broom instead of rising to fall
back on the carpet. There is no danger of
: injuring even a fancy .carpet, if the drops of
water are thoroughly removed from the broom.
Let no one try who has not time and patience.
THOUGHT ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.
If we would have our bodies: healthy, our
-brains must be used, and used in orderly and
.vigorous ways,'that the life-giviDg streams of
; force may flow down from them into the exact
ant organs, which can minister but as they are
ministered unto. We admire the vigorous
animal - life of the Greeks; and with justice we
recognize, and partly seek.to imitate, the various
gymnastic and other means which they em
ployed ti secure it. But probably we should
make a fatal error if we omitted from our calcu
culation the hearty and generous earnestness
with which the highest subjects of art, specula
tion, and politics were' pursued by them. Sure
ly, in their case, the beautiful and energetic
mental life was expressed in the athletic and
graceful frame. And is it a mere extravagance
to ask whether some part of the lassitude and
weariness of life, of which we hear so much in
our.day, may not be due to lack of mental.occu
pation on worthy subjects, exciting and "repaying
a generous enthusiasm, as well as to an over
exercise on lower ones; whether an engrossment
on matters which have not substance, enough to
justify or satisfy the mental,grasp, be not at the
root of .some part of the maladies which affect
our mental convalescence ? Any one who tries
it soon finds out how disproportionately exhaust
ing, is an overdose of light literature, compared
with an equal quantity of time spent on real
work. Of this we may be sure, that the due
exercise of brain'—of thought—-is one of the
essential elements of human life. The perfect
health of man is not the same as that of an ox or
horse. The preponderating capacity of his ner
vous parts demands a corresponding life.
HOW TO MAKE CIDER VINEGAR.
A correspondent wishes to know the most
expeditious way of making vinegar out of cider.
Probably as godd a course as he can adopt is
to keep the cidej - in a pretty warm temperature,
as near summer heat as practicable, and allow
the air to havejaecess to it. The usual prac
tice is to leave the bung of the cask out, and
place a bottle, neck downward, over the bung
hole. The usej of the bottle is to turn the rays
of light on the liquor, which promotes decom
position. There are ways by which cider can
be changed info vinegar more rapidly, hut un
less the business is to be followed up on a large
scale, it may not'be an object to adopt the pro
cess; the eideij is made to flow through troughs
in a thin sheet, in order to expose it as much
as possible air. Shavings of oak wood
are sometimes placed in the troughs, to render
the action of the air more direct on the liquor.
By having several of these troughs, or a long
length in the aggregate, cider may be converted
into, vinegar by once miming through.-— Poston.
Cultivator. >,
Raising a Steamer by Balloons—M. Baur,
an engineer, has raised a steamer which sank
2 years ago in the Lake of Constance. The en
gineer, in order to raise the vessel, which was
lying at the depth of seventy feet, made use .of
an apparatus of his own invention. By means
of divers, he attached to her, one on each side,
two large balloons, made of water-proof linen’
which he filled with air. When the expansion
had become sufficient, a'movement was observed
in the water, which looked as if boiling, and
the vessel came to the surface. Virtually, the
same thing has been done in this country, with
water-tight casks and Inditf-rubber camels.
Carrier Pigeons vs. Locomotives— lt ap
pears from a trial lately made at Bnurges that
carrier pigeons can still compete in speed with
railways. Last week. 145 pigeons were libe
rated at Bourges- at five o’clock in the morning
to decide a wager. The first prize was gained
by a pigeon which arrived at his pigeon-house
atVerviers at fifty-four minutes past twelve.
The last arrival was at. eleven minutes past
one. Thus in less than nine hours these birds
performed a distance of 150 leagues, or 3*75
miles, speed which no French railway can equal.
Barbarous Musical Instrument. —The Caf
fre lyre is a bent bow, strung with twisted hair,
which, when jbeaten with a stick, will give out
four or five distinct tones. The Maeabera piano
is a series of sonorous wooden bars, eaehbaeked
by a sounding chamber, formed of the rind of a
dried and hardened fruit. It has one or two
notes, which resemble those .of a cracked bell.
A nice instrument for an amateur, or evening
party.
Hoeing Cabbages.— We were recently in
the garden of. a friend, who_is an early riser.
On alluding to the vigorous growth and healthy
appearance of his cabbages and cauliflowers, he
remarked: “If you want good cabbages, you
must hoe them, every morning before : 5 o’clock.”
This was intended as a gentle hint that he
thought we did not get up as early in the morn
ing as a good gardener should. Rut be this as
it may, there can be no doubt that cabbages
and all similar plants are greatly benefitted by
repeated hoeings. —Genesee Farmer.

THE RICHARDSON PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or
other material, and constructed substantially air-tight
by the novel indention 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.
They are tastefully manufactured from grained Rose
wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut ; 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 which tends in
any degree to soften the poignancy of grief in the
hour of bereavement, must commend itself to the fa
vorable consideration of every afflicted heart, p.nd
y The Caskets when required, are 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 Cable to the ob
jections frequently made by Railroad Companies,
when offered for transportation with the usual prepa
rations. r
We guarantee, in oar 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 gliarge for the Casket.

The undersigued also offers to the public m gene
ral, his Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention,
dor the preservation of the bodiesof deceased persons,
by coid air alone, and without the application of ice,
which is so repugnant to the feelings- By the use of
■this Preserver, the funeral may be deferred for weeks,
If necessary, to await the arrival of absent friends, as
by "the cold air process, the corpse will keep much
longer than in the ordinary way of pressing the body
down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and
saturating it with water.

AYERS’
SAESAPAEILLA,
THE WORLD'S GREAT REMEDTEOR
Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases.
From Emery Bdes, a well-known merchant of Oxford,
Maine.
I have sold large quantities of your Sarsaparilla,
but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired
effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As
fast as ourpeople try'it, they agree there has been no
medicine like it before in our community. ”
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Di
cers, Scores, and all Diseases of the Skin.
From Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol, England.
“ I only do my duty to you and the public, when I
add my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal
virtues of your Sarsaparilla. My daughter, aged ten,
had an afflicting hum or in her ears, eyes, and hair for
years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your
Sarsaparilla. She has been well for some months.”
From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and mucli-es-
teemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., N.J.
4 My daughter has suffered for a year past with a
scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome.
Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your Sarsa
parilla, which soon completely eured her.” :
■' From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known
Gage, Murray & Co., manufacturers of enamelled pa
pers in Nashua,' N. r H.
“I had for several years a very troublesome humor
m my face, which grew constantly worse until it dis
figured my features and became an intolerable afflic
tion. I,tried almost every thing a man could of both
advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever,
until I took your Sarsaparilla. It immediately made
my face worse, as you told me it might for a time: hut
in a few weeks the new skin began to form under the
blotches, and continued until my face is as sinooth as
any body’s, and lam without any symptomb of the
disease that I know of. I enjoy perfect health, and
without a doubt owe it to your Sarsaparilla.”
Erysipelas—General Debility—Purify the
Blood.
From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., New York.
Dr. Ayer. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions:
and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your.
Sarsaparilla, and I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we'
possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have suppliedto
the profession as well as to the people.”
From J. E. sJohnston, Esq., Wakeman. 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 must be amputated. I began taking your
Sarsaparilla. Took two bottles, and some of your
Pills. Together they have cured me. lam now as
well and sound as any body. Being in apublie place,
my case is known to every body in this community,
and excites the wonder of all.”
From Ho n. Henry Monro, M P., of Newcastle,
C. W., a leading member of the Canadian Parliament.
“ I have used your Sarsaparilla in my family, for
general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it
to the afflicted.”
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Sore Eyes.
From Harvey Siekler, Esq.j the able editor of the
Tunkhannock 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 virulentsore,
which covered his faee ; and actually blinded his eyes
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 began to 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,

Although hot disposed ‘ to fevor or recommend Patent Medicines hi
general,' through distrust of their ingredients and. effects; I yet know
of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits to
believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others.
X do this more readily in regard to Hoofiand’s German Bitters, pre
pared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because X was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the impression that they were
chiefly an alcoholic mixture; lam indebted to my friend Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper teste,
and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and
long-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at
the beginning of the. present year, was followed by evident relief/and
restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not
frit for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I
therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them.

in quart bottles, compounded of the cheapest whiskey or common rum,
costing from 20 to 4Q cents per gallon, the taste disguised by Anise or

This class qf Bitters has caused and w3t continue to cause, as tang as
they can be sold, hundreds to die the death of the drunkard. their
use the system is kept continually under the influence of Alcoholic Sthn»

For a liquor Bitters, vx publish the fiSlammg receipt. Get One
Bottle HooflumP, German. Bitters and mix with Three
qnarts of Good Brandy or Whiskey, and the result
unß be a preparation that will tar exeel in medicinal virtues and
true excellence any cf the numerous Liquor Bitters in the market, and
wilt cost much less. You will have all the virtues of Boor*
land’s Bitters in connection urilh a good article of liquor, at a
much less price than these inferior preparations will cost you.
