PECTORAL. SYRUP.
They are at home and any one who has doubts can in
quire of the persons who have been cured by it.

WHO NEED HIS MEDICINE. .

DR. KEYSER’S
PECTORAL SYRUP.
Pittsburg, Jan. 11th. ISCO.
Db. Ketseb: —My wife has been afflicted with a bad
cough and difficulty of breathing for Are or six years,
which for several years back had gradually increased In
violence. The complaint has been hereditary, and she had
been treated by several physicians without any relief. In
this state of her case I procured some, of. your Pectoral
Cough Syrup. I bought the first time a fifty cent bottle,
which relieved her very much; I then called and got a
dollar bottle, which cured her .entirely, and she has now
no trace of the former disease, cxcepi weakness. 1 would
olio state that vrbsed the medicine myself ,to a cold and
cough. The medicine cured met-hy taking one dose. I ex
ureas my entire' satisfaction with the medicine, and you
art at liberty to publish this if you desire to do so.
' WM, WILSON, ;
Alderman, Firth Ward.
Kill]
Dr. Ketsrr Although not an advocate of Patent Medi
cine In general, it affords me great pleasure to recommend
Tout, Pectoral Syrup. As a medicine it is well worthy the
attention of any person who may in any manner be affec
ted with coughs, colds aud hoarseness of any kind, and for
the peculiar qualifications for removing all that disagreea
ble sensation attending a cold. . , ,
1 have been more or less, in my life affected with the
severest colds of hoarseness. At times my throat would
become so closed ns to prevent my speaking above n whis
per, and by taking a few doses of the above Syrup it would
relieve mo entirely. ...
In recommending this, medicine, I must unhesitatingly
say that it is the best medicine I ever found, purporting to
cure the above; nor should any family be without this
remedy for diseases so prevalent.
Yours, most respectfully,
EDWARD J. JONES,
' Cashier, Citizens’ Deposit, Bank.
1 have used Dr. Keyset’s Cough Syrup for a bad cough
of several years standing, and can checrfullysay .it Is the
best medicine for the same that 1 hate over taken.
OOL. PRATT AND DR. KEYSERS PECTORAL SYR
VP. DR. KETSEB —Dear Sir: Excuse the delay of my ac
knowledging tile excellence of your Pectoral Syrup sooner.
I take great pleasure in saying that it Is all you say it is.
IT KNOCKED THE NOISE OUT OF MY COUGH, and
the worst one I was over afflicted with; I have not used
more than one half of the bottle, and can and do wish that
II who arc afflicted would give it as fair a trial as 1 have
they will be proud to say, “ U is no quack medi
cine.” I would not suffer another such an attack for any
consideration, or at any cost. I am confident I can breathe
more freely than.l ever did. J shall: always acknowledge
B deht of gratitude‘for inventing so excellent a remedy.—
You are at liberty to use my name In this regard, us you
think proper. '*• E. F. PRATT.

READ THE TRUTH—Dn. Kevsep. : I have a daughter
who has taken several medicines for a bad cough, who has
token several medicines for a bad cough, without benefit—
among them Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I purchased from
you a bottle of your PECTORAL SYRC-P, and before she
had used half a'bottle she was relieved. The second hot
tls cored her entirely of her cough
A GREAT CURE UY DR. KEYSEU'S PECTORAL
SYRUP—I live lu Peebles township. Allegheny county.—
I bad a coughing aid spitting, which commenced about
the 4th of February last, and continued eight months, I
employed the best physicians in the country, nml my
cough continued uoabated dntil early in October. At that
time 1 was advised.to try your PECTORAL SYRUP,Avhich
i after I had taken one bottle I was entirely free
from-the coughing and spitting. I had disjoined of ever
getting well, and I thlnk it should be known that this
valuable remedy will do for others what It j has done in
JUT case. JOHN C. LITTLE, Puclricfl township.
Witness— B. M. Kebk.
Patton township, April 14th, 1857.
A* WONDERFUL CURE —Sonic time agp. an old neigh
bor W mine was very 111 with a bad cough which every one
supposed to be consumption. Ills relatives told, mo lie had
taken every remedy they beard of without benefit; lus
brother came to see him die, and all were confirmed in the
beUefthathe could not live. I had about the third of a
bottle of yfiur Pectoral Syrup, which 1 gave him, and it
entirely cured him, to the astonishment of oil. What
makes the case more remarkable, is the extreme age of
the man, he being about eighty years old. I have no doubt
the Pectoral taved his life. j JOUN MQINMS.

thebestphysicians In the city, whom I could name, hut

, THE HORSE AND HIS DISEASES
To those orily who have long resided in
Ireland can be known the horror inspired
by a “ process server," —the abhorrence
with which these poor men
by every Patlander. In this quiet and
orderly country, the men placed in “ pos
session” of your property Jby the formali
ties of the law, is onld considered as
'the mere tool of a superior power, but is
often, very often, well treated. Nay,
courtesy goes so far, that he is frequently
asked, during his forced sojoqrn, to join
in all the meals and other comforts which
the house oflbrds. Not so in the sister
country. The unhappy man sent in to do
this unpleasant duty is not only ill treated
and abused, but often becomes the victim'
of murderous ferocity.
One of the most remarkable illustrations
of this feeling occurred some thirty years
ago in the county of Clare, when a gentle
man of high standing, good estate, and
old family, was so irritated, that on his
house being taken possession of, he actu
ally got up in the middle of the night, and
set it on lire, thus periling the lives of the
two poor officials ift-charge. That which,
however, made the case still worse, was
the attempt on the part of the incendiary
'to cast the blame on the “ men in posses
sion;” from which charge, however, they
perfectly cleared themselves, and Mr.
was fully cbmiuittgd for setting fire to his
own house, a somewhat strange occur
rence; Put several cases of thus destroy
ing the security of creditors having lately
occurred, Sir Robert Peel deemed it nec
essary to make it a felony. Mr. was
the first' party indicted under the new act,'
and would have undoubtedly escaped, had
he not (as we have said) endeavored to
destroy two innocent .men, basing his ac
cusation on his own personal observation.
This was thought so horrible that the law
was allowed,to take-its course, and Mr.
was hanged in Ennis, as an example
to'deter those who would savagely avenge
their own irregularities on the heads of
. (COISFECTIOmi EBl* & | i those who had never injured them.

Though is deeper than ail speech;
Feeling deeper than all thought:
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught
We are spirits clad in veils:
Man by mm was never seen :
All our deep communing fails
To remove the slgiJowy screen
Heart to heart was never known :
Mind with mind did never meet ;
Wo are columns left alone
* Of a temple once complete.
Like the stars that gem the sky,
Far apart, though, seeming near,
In our light wo scattered lie ;
All is thus but starlight here.
What is social company
But a babbling siimmer-elream ?
What our wise philosophy
But the glancing of a dreamt
Only when the sun of luvo
Melts the scatter'd stars of thought, ,
Only when we live above
Wbat the dim-eyed world bath taught,
Only when our souls are fed
By the Fount which gave them birth,
And by the inspiration led
Which they never drew from earth;
Wo, like parted drops <-f rain.
B Swelling till they meet and run,
Shall be all absorb'd again,
■ Melting, flowing into one.

ed by tbeir skulls being found battered in,
and tbeir faces so -disfigured with blows,
that it was a task of great difficulty to
identify them.
The account given by the fam
ily was very olear, and the testimony of
each member of the circle agreed so con
sistently, that their evidence was scarcely
to be doubted, It appeared, from their
statement, that tWo men had taken up
their residence In an adjoining barn, and
that one of the daughters had carried
them their frugal supper the evening be
fore. They then seemed well primed
with whiskey, and might be supposed to
be in possession of still larger supplies of
this intoxicating beverage. The general
belief of the-family was, therefore,
the two poor fellows, having got drunk',
fell asleep, and, on waking, walked across
the fields to bathe themselves, for the
purpose of washing away tbeir debauchj
but, unfortunately, not’ being quite sober,
they had fallen in, just where the stream
was most rapid and deep, and thus fell
victims to their intemperance. The
wounds on their heads they supposed must
have been caused by being dashed against
some rocks, past which they had beeh car
ried by the stream.
The sfory seemed to the local authorr
| tics to be somewhat improbable; but, on
strict investigation, they found the foot
steps-of two men clearly imprinted in sev
eral places between the door of the barn
and the river, where they again appeared
upon the muddy and slippery bank- The
whole house was examined over arid over
again; but no weapon, no instrument of
death, or cause of suspicion, could be dis
covered. Forty-eight hours were fruit
lessly employed by the local magistrates,
the chief constable, and the coroner, in
seeking for some evidence; but all in
vain. Asia last resource, they wrote to
'Yokes, in Limerick.
Of all thisi—beyond the paragraph in
the newspaper—l hoard 'nothing till the
entrance of the chief constable, who ar
rived, bearing the invitation to my intel
ligent rotative to attend.
“ Well, Mac, as they wish it, I’ll go ;
but you may depend upon it, it is as the
people say. These fellows got drunk, and
slipped into the river. I’ll order my car
riage directly, and you ana my relative
here can drive over with me.”
I began to make excuses.
“ Oh, don’t.; be "getting out of it ! If
you’ll come along we’ll touch at , and
I’ll show you the -finest stud of horses in
Ireland. Come, don’t bo fancying that
there is any danger, this time 1 I’m onfy
going over to see my brother magistrates.
By the by, I’4 like to introduce you to
some of them-i There is no cause of alarm
to any one hefe, is there, Mac?” turning
td the police officer.
“ None in the world, Major. Sure, if
there had beeti anything, we would have
discovered it without troubling you.”
“ You’re right; but as they ask me,
We'll just run] oyer,” and in half an hour
morale were 1 cn route.
I confess I was not comfortable.' Yokes
was far too jovial to ple.ase me, and he
laughed at the idea of this murder so
loudly, and poohpoohed it so strongly,
that I felt he Was not sincere. '
When withfn three miles ' of Killtnal
lock, he, as uiual, got out of his carriage,
and mounted dn horseback, making my
self and his ofpeers do the same. To my
surprise, wc found Sergeant M’Grath and
six mounted; policemen waiting for'him
with his saddle horses. The chief consta
ble seemed more „ surprised than myself.
If there really;had bpea a murder, a large
force ought fO; have bepn called out. If
the death arose from accident, surely no
policemen wete requisite. The Major,
however, madp no remark, and we trotted
across the coujitry, followed at a distance
by the constables and carriages. I adhe
red to my old yule of asking no questions.
Presently wb came in sight of the farm
house where the murder was committed.
It was surrounded by (at least) five thous
and persons, % many, of whom seemed
strongly excited. I could" not but feel a
sensation of terror as I looked upon this
lawless body. ■ I believe my countenance
must have ? betokened my alarm, for my
relative gave m'o a reassuring smile." He
then directed jhis sub to join Ihe police
men, with direction to bring them round
to, the rear of ; the building, arid v jumping
off his horse, motioned me'to do the same.
I confess I (fid so with reluctance, and
when 1 handed the bridle to the boy, who
had undertaken to hold the animal, I must
needs admit Ij would have williDgly* dis
suaded Yokes from entering the crowd,
who, as he approached, gave three groans
for him —ai welcome they poured forth
with all the vbnom of theit souls, for many
amongst thepa had reason to dregd his
power. . The ;Ma|pr Jtook; of hirisat;with ; a

told them he should doubtlessly require
their tcstimpny at the assizesin Limerick; ;
to this the whole family, consisting of the
father, mother, a son, and two .
readily assented. . ;
He next inspected the bodiekof -thef '
poor men, and, when abrother magistrate'
pointed out to him the probability-of iis
having been a severe accident, the chief
magistrate seemed to assent; f s
I now hoped-all was over j but my re->

examining again and again the. rooms up

and welcomed us cheerfully as we passed

showed that they had learned our acts.
