of Cumberland county united iu a
? r to the Governor, complaining of
great disorders committed by many
ions engaged in the. Indian trade;
during the same year, Isaac Norris,
ikerof the Assembly, in a inesaage'to
Unvernor, said : “As it appeals from
lute notorious disorders among the
ian.traders, as well as from .the rep
utation of the magistrates of Cum-,

! September, 1753, the. Governor re
ed.a message from certain Indian
fa, expressing ft wish to meet him at
Halo, on or before the 23d of that
ith; hut oh consultation with the
licit it was determined that there was

ed for years in alienating the Indians
from Iho settlers, ami getting them
take sides wllh the French against tho
Emrlish. Presents were made Co all the
Indian tribes, and they were told that
the English wished to drive the Indians
from their hunting grounds, while the
French were their lust friends. Ail these
causes tended to produce complete alien
ation between the two races which bad
lived in imnnony, side by side, for over
twenty years.
Tbe disaffection of the Indians
first manifested itself in capturing
(he .whites and delivering them to
the French. Iu 1751. a number of. Indi
ans, headed by a Frenchman, captured
George Henry, Joim Evans, James Dev
oy and Owen Nicholson. They were
carried to Quebec, and flora thence sent
to lloohSlie, in Fiance, where, after
many hardships,’their release was eflect
-ed through ihe.mediation of theßritlah
minister, and they weie sent by him to
I&ond'nvutui from thence got d passage
Philadelphia,.,,A r , of their
sufferings was. made to the Assembly,
aud Uiey were voted £lO to bear tbeir
expenses to tbeir homes in Cumberland
county. During the same year relief was
also afforded by Che Assembly to Alex.
Magonty, Patrick Burns ami Gen. Hutch
ison, who had be u n carried off and held
In captivity by (he Indians, and they
were sent to their homes iu Cumberland
couniy.
Those abductions were but tbe prelude
to more sanguinary sequences. Here
and there a white man and his family
were brutally murdered by the Indians,
and consternation spread throughout the
valley. In 1754, a petition was sent to
the Governor, representing that the peo
ple of the frontier were in imminent
danger of destruction from merciless and
inhuman savages, and praying for the
protection of the provincial government.
Tho petition was signed by : Benjamin
Chambers, Hubert Chambers, jas. Carn

A similar petition was sent by tho in
habitants of Burg mi township—now part
of Franklin county—stating that they
had united iu terming a company, un
dercommand of Alexander Culbertson,
to defend them against tho incursion's of
tlie savages, but they were entirely de
-fenceless, being destitute of arms and
ammnnnltion ; and asking that .they bo
supplied with suitable means of defense.
A few years later, a number of persons in
that locality were captured by the In
dians and carried off over the mountains
Captain Culbertson’s company went in
pursuit of the Indians, aud overtook
them* near Sideling Hill. A desperate
fight ensued, iu which Cupt. Culbertson
and’nearly half his men were killed, and
a number of them were made prisoners
by tbe Indians. The stream known as
Bloody Run Is said to have derived its
name from that battle, which was fought
on its banks.
lii response to these petitions, Gover
nor Hamilton sent a message to the As
sembly, in August, 1751, in which he
stales that “ the people of Cumlieriand
county, are so apprehensive 'of danger
from the nearness of French and sava
ges under their influence, tiiat they have
in the must earnest manner petitioned
me for. protection, representing Unit a
great number would be warm and active
in defense of themselves and country
were they enabled to he so by being
supplied with arms and a’mmnuiiion,,
which many of them are unable to pur
chase at their own private expense. It
b 'comes my indispensable duty, and I
cannot excuse myself from pressing up
on you to turn your thoughts on the de
fenceless stale of the province in general
and our back inhabitants in particular,
ft is not in my power to answer their ex
peetalions without the aid of your house.”
Neither tile petitions of the iohahiianls
nor the recommendation of the Governor
seem to have had much weight with the
Assembly, for most of the members were
Quakers and non-combatants. The peo
ple of tne vaiiey were therefore thrown
almost entirely upon tlieii own resour
ces, ami it was boldly charged, and never
successfully contradicted, Unit when tit©
roinnrsless Indian war burst upon 111©
heads of the defend dess people of the
valley, the provincial govern merit, tho’gli
repeatedly warned of the danger, and
implored to take some measures of de
fense, had hot furnished o single soldier,
nor arms, nor ammunition. And even
after the horrors of Indian warfare had
been carried into hundreds of defenseless
families, the Governor again urged the
Assembly to prepare for the defense of
the border, reminding them that the
frontier settlers were assailed by un en
emy who made no distinction of ago nor
sex", but slaughtered tile tender infant
and its shrieking mother with the sav
age fierceness of wild' beasts-but his ap
peals were to no purpose.
Although that assistance and protec
tion were withheld, which they had o
right to expect from the provioclai gov
ernment, yet tile sturdy settlors in the
Kltintinny valley were by no means
disheartened. They determined to de
fend their homes to the last, and at a
meeting of the general committee of
Cumberland county, convened by order
of John Potter, sheriff of the county, at
the residence of Mr. Bhippen, in Ship
peiibhurg.on October 30th, 1755, at which
time eighteen I ersons were present, it
was resolved to build immediately (ivu
large forts, one at Carlisle, one at Riiip
pensburg, one at Col. Chambers,’ ono at
Mr. Bleeps meeting house, and one at
William Allison’s. The forts at Carlisle
ami Mr. Steel’s mooting house have al
ready been described. In 1756, Benjamin
Chambers ereoted a fort at ills own ex
pense, which wus visited by Jus. Young,
who says: “In our journey to Fort Lyt
tleton we stopped at Mr. Chambers’ mill,
ten .miles beyond Shlppeusburg, where
ho iias a good private fort, on un exceed
ing 'good situation to be wade very de
fensible ; but what I think of great oon
sequence to tho government is that In
paid fort are two four-pound cannon
mounted, and jv-hody but* n* few country
people to defendu. 1 If thoeneiuy should
take that foit, they would naturally
bring those cannon against Shlppena*
burg ami Carlin le. I therefore presume
to recommend to your honor either (o
have tlie cannon taken from thence or a
proper garrison stationed there.”. Acting
on thU suggestion, tho Governor wrote to
Col. Joim Armstrong, respecting Cham
bers’ fort, who in reply Raya: ** 1 hove
wrote to Mr. Chambers concerning tlie
guns at fils fort, according to order, but
lie tlftnks by going to Philadelphia be
may prevail with your honor to let them
stay where they are.” This application
not succeeding, Col. Armstrong sent a
party of his majesty’s forces, under com
maud of Thomas Smallman, to leraove
the cunnmi to Sbippensburg or some
other fort; hut upon tlie arrival of tlie
party at the fort, they found it so well
defended against them that they with
drew without accomplishing their object.
Gov. Denny, on reeeTvTng’"Tiir«i , Tnlein*"’
gence, Issued his brdors to the sheriff of
Cumberland county, to arrest Mr. Cham
bers and bring him before him, under a
strong guard, to Philadelphia. .Colonel
Chambers, subsequently entered into
recognizance to appear beforelhe Gov
ernor, but.tbe cannon were suffered to
remain in his possession. This fort stood
on the bank of tbe Conocochcugue, in the
rear of tlie lot recently owned by the late
Judge Oyster, in Chamberaburg. It was
« Blockade, enclosing tho dwt-llliighouse,
and the flour and saw mills of tbe pro
prietor.' Within the fort, a large stone
building, two stories high, was erect© I—
the waters of the Falling Bpring running
under it, for safe access to the water ; Us
windows were small and adapted to do
fence; the roof was covered with sheet
lead, to protect it from the torch of the
savage. In addition to small arms, Col.
Chambers had. supplied himself with
the cannon previously mentioned.—
Wilkin the fori he remained in safety,
with Ids family, throughout tho whole
series of Indian wars. It was also a place
of siieiter and security to many of the
neighboring families in times of alarm
Though tho fort was occasionally assail
ed by tlie Indians, no one was injured
who remained within its enclosure. Mr.
McKinney, a farmer of the .neighbor
hood who had taken shelter there, ven
tured out with his son to see the cattle
on his farhi, and their bodies were after
terwards found, murdered and scalped,
about hulfn mile from the fort.,
In a letter to Gov. Morris, June 14th,
1754, Charles Swain, who wan despatch
ed f> Sbippensburg with provisions for
Gen. Brudduck’a forces, then in the west,
says : “I can find but little cellaring here
for securing the pork, but have pitched
on a shady and dry spot in the woods for
a cellar, for what I cannot store in such
cellars as are in town. Tlie principal ex
pense attending tho magazine hero wilt
lie to biresome person to attend tlie cattle,
also to watch tile stores ai.d pork, for they
assure me there are many ill-disposed
peraoiis In these parts, who would both
take the pork, and break into the stores,
If not watched.” It is probable a rude
stockade was erected at tbis time “ at (lie
shady and dry spot in the woods,” for the
protection of the government stores, for |
in June, 1755, letters from Sbippensburg
apeak of tbe “ murders committed near
our fort,” and in July, of the same year,
Mr. Swain again writes to Governor
Morris : “ I suppose the people will now
come fust into these parts, and sbail use
all expedition iu forwarding a fort. I
have pitched on u piece of ground of Mr.
Shippen’M, and the’ Umber about here is
all bis, therefore I should bs glad if he
was written to about It.” ‘ And in Aug
ust, of (he same year, Mr. Shipped writes
to James Burd, at Sbippensburg, and
says I hope tbe people will all go to
gether immediatefy to build tbe fort.” In .*
December, lie again writes M I hope you
are going on briskly with, tlra fort, for
you may expect the Governor will he
there before he. returns.” Fort Morris ‘
was then probaoly erected in 1755. by
Col. James Burd, and In 1753 and 1757 it
was garrisoned by two companies of the
royal troops. According to tradition
there were two forts lu Sbippensburg—
fort Morris and fort Franklin—the for
mer. probably mined In honor of tlie
vlsitof Governor .Morris to Sbippensburg,
of which mention was made by'Mr
Shipped—And tho latter probably called
after Benjamin Franklin, who frequent
ly visited the county on matters pertain
ing to Indian troubles. Fore Morris
stood at the • north-east end of the bor
ough, on tho bind of the lafo Wifflum
McConnell, known a* '‘Die fort,” where
tlie remains of a well dug for the use of
the fort still exist. At tho went cud of
tlie benough, on a steep rocky bluff, stood
Fort Franklin, sometimes called tbe
“Bull's-Bye,” from the fact Unit a large
round bole was left in the gable end of tlie
’building, to servo as a look-out. The.re
mains of the wall stood there until IS3U,
and a school house is now erected on tho
silt*. Other authorities indicate that fort
Morris was at tlie western end of t lie town,
and fort Franklin In 'the north eastern
section, but all agree that both forts wore
at Sbippensburg.
"TnE Day we LhibnuKATE.”—Wednes
day was Washington’s birth-day, some
times Irreverently caMed “ Birtliingtoii’s
Washday.” The illustrious “ father of
ids 'country" was born of poor hut res
pectable parents, In the city of Genoa, in
the year 1492. When George was a little
hoy, lie had.a little hatchet with- which
he chipped the bark off oue of his fath
er's cherry trees. The “ old man,” as
George called him, was very Indignant,
hut pretended ignorance of the author
of the mischief, in order to entrap the
youngster into telling a lie about,it, in
which event he proposed to give him a
sound flogging; but George suspected the
old gentleman’s design, and took the
wind oomplolely out or bis sails by own
ing up- When he grew up to bo a man,
lie turned out to be very “disloyal” to
the government under which lie lived,
and was openly denounced us "the great
est rebel of Ids time.” The same shrewd
ness which he manifested in youth, did
not desert him in maiihnod, hut saved
him on numerous occasions from being
“hung on a sour apple tree,” Though
possessing no especial fondness for vulgtir
jokes, anecdotes, negro songs, theatres,
fast horses nor fancy pups, yet ho was
chosen President of the United States.
His good lady was quite popular with
the people, though she neither wore low
necked dresses nor $l5OO petticoats, and.
after her husband's death did not sell
her old clothes at auction. During his
term of oflleb, George was highly es
teemed, and a great many old-fashioned
people even now believe that he was us
good a President us General Grant or
Abiahain Lincoln.
PjSUSONAL.--.Wo are pleased to learn
thatPrnl. Spencer F. Bulid,of the Smith
sonian Institute, and lonnorly a citizen
of this place, has been appointed by the
president, Commissioner of Fish and
Fisheries, under a recent act of congress.
Special Court.—A epeclal terra of
court, for tho trial of civil erases, was
held Inal Week, before a full bench. Too
following cases weio disposed of:
Cyrus H. MoCorhiluk and Leander Mc-
Cormick, partners trading as McCormick
& Brother, vs, The Cumberland Valley
Railroad Company, John Gish, Jacob V.
Gish and Ira Long. Tills action waa
brought by the Messrs. McCormick, man
ufacturers of the reapers which bear their
name, for' the value of a reaper alleged
to have been lost aoraowhere along the
Cumberland Valley Railroad. The reap
er hud been sent to the warehouse at
Shippensburg, and from there waa di
rected to be sent to some point down the
road. It never arrived at its destination,
and its whereabout was uever afterwards
discovered. The jury rendered a verdict
for the plaintiffs for $144 77. Penrose for
'plaintiffs; Watts, Henderson & Hay 4 for
defendants.
Lewis Young vs. Wm. M. Hamilton,
John Rife, Jacob B. Kaufmau, James
Errsminger, Barenco Wilder, George
'RhWdsTEirH: Coover, John~C~'Kirk f *
William Swleuey, Adam Feeruan and
Samuel .Shoop. Tills was an action In
damages brought against the authorities
of New Cumberland. The plaintiff're
fused to pay a certain tax assessed upou
him, and the tax collector Jevied upon a
boat belonging to him and sold It. The
plaiutlff’showed that the borough autho*
rities were neither legally elected, nor
had they been sworn according to taw,
nor had the collector and treasurer given
the bonds required bylaw for the faithful
performance of their duties. The jury
brought iu a verdict of $3O 00 for tho
plaintiff. Hepburn for plaintiff ; Todd
for defendants.
J. Xs. Plank w. Samuel- Diller, Sr., ex
ecutor of Jacob Burkholder. During the
Uwt years of his life, Jacob Bmkhoider
hml been In a feeble condition, and re*
sided will) Plank, In's son in law. After
Burkholder’s death, Plank produced a
note for 53.500, drawn In his favor by
Burkholder, and slating on its face that
it was for services rendered. The defen
dant alleged ihut no adequate considera
tion was given, for the note, and that
Burkholder did not give the note under
seal as presented to court. This led to a
lengthy investigation. In regard to Burk
holder’s physical and menial condition,
—which occupied several days, a large
number of witnesses being examined*
The case not being concluded on Satur
day afternoon, was resumed on Monday
morning of this week, and concluded the
Mime evening, the jury rendering a ver

Heuderson & Hays for defendant.
Death’s Doings.—Occasionally there
are deaths which seem to cast an unusual
gloom over the whole community. This
was especially true of two deaths which
occurred in this place last week. Mias

some child, übout four years old, was
prostrated with gastric fever, and died on
Thursday night, after a few days’ illness,
and was buried in the Catholic cemetery
on Saturday. She was one of those bright,
lively children who win the affection of
a whole neighborhood ; and muuyVere

tueuipry of bright eyed little Florence.
.Mis.- Mary B. Gregg, wife of John M.
Gregg, Esq., died at her residence, in
CliaiuberabuTg, on Saturday last, after a

The Counterfeit .Swindle,—This
community Is being flooded with another
Instalment of counterfeit circulars from
Now York, odering counterfeit green*
backs for sale. Tsvo of them were re
ceived at this office* Several of these
scoundrels have recently been arrested
and tried in New York; and they univer
sally put In the defense that they never
send out counterfeit money. When their
dqpes in tho country send for a package
of counterfeit money, enclosing.slo, $25.
or $5O, they semi them, in return, a small
package of shavings and brown paper,
accompanied with a polite note, inform
ing them that iho enclosed is tho only
counterfoil money they deal In, an*l as
the business of passing counterfeits la a
dangerous one, and generally leads to the
penitentiary, they would advise their
country friends to abandon tho Idea of
becoming first class scoundrels, and in go
to work and earn a livlngat some .honest
employment. We advise our friends not
to be caught by tbo specious promises of
*111686 rascals.

Methodist friends and others are busily
engaged making arrangements for the
meeting, and an interesting session is
anticipated.
How to Make a. Town.—No town can
reach a position of any importance, un
less it produces something its neighbors
are compelled to purchase. A collection
of stores cannot accomplish anything in
proportion to that aUTil'iiable by a manii*
facturing'lown. This fact is beginn Ing to
be pretty generally understood elsewhere,
and it is lime out' moneyed men awoke
to the truth.
Death of Hon. Jasper E. Buadv.—
This gentleman, who was atone time a
resident of Chamhersburg, and who was
well known to iho people of this county,
died in Washington City, on the 23d ult.,
of erysipelas, aged about 80 years. Mr.'
Brady was a'prominent politician, in the
days of the old Whig party, and was elect
ed to Congress in 18-IU over Hon. Samuel
Hepburn, in the Franklin, Cumberland
and Ferry district, and was beaten inISIS
by Hon. James X. McLunahun. He re
moved to IMUshurgh.about 1850, and sub
sequently to Washington. Fur several
years ho was chief of tho auditing divi
sion of the Paymaster General’s ollleo.
The deceased was a lineal descendant
of Capt. (Sam. Brady, the Celebrated in*
dial) fighter, and a near relative of the
late Gen. Hugh Brady, U- Stales army.
y« Local Fapeic— T/ie Conueantville
Courier suys: *• The Comminslonois ol
every county in the Slate ought to direct
the preservation, binding and filing of
each paper published in their respective
counties. These tiles chould be preserved
by the recorder with as much care as any
other records of the county, ns they would
form u very complete history of the ©venls
In respective'localities h here published.
In future years, to the historiau and the
arcbroologist, they would be invaluable,
and frequently.explain the origin of cus
toms and institutions, which otherwise
would be wholly lost. The moat insigni
ficant 7-by 9 sheet published tu tlie moat
obscure portion of the county, however
remote from civilization, would frequent
ly possess the greatest intrinsic value,
because of the facts recorded there nt the
time and place of their occurrence. The
annual cost of tbeir preservation to the
county would be inconsiderable, the ad
vantage inexpressible.”
Episcopal Mission.— Tbo Mechanics
'burg Journal of iboTOth Inst., says : “On
Sunday last tbe Rev Dr. Leverett, pastor
of St. John's Chapel, Carlisle, in two
very able and Interesting sermons, estab
lished tbo Mechanlcsbiirg Mission of the
Protestant Episcopal church. Notwith-
Btaudlug tint inclemency of the weather,
Franklin Hall was well tilled with an
attentive and respectable audience who
came to see and, bear what manner tf
people these wore. The mission is started
under very favorable auspices and prom
ises good results."
A Good Idea. A bill b»s been intro
duced In the Senate of thU Stale, which
imposesa.penalty ol from thirty iaya’ to
one year’s imprisonment for injuries to
graves, trees, shrubbery, &c., in public
cemeteries. It Istobu hoyed that this may
became a law, ami that the vamfhlftmi
practiced in cemotcrles, especially during
tbo summer, may cease, or tbe vandals
suffer tbe severest penalty of tbo Jaw.

Interfistino to Farmers. —Wo are
Informed that there Isa good time surely
coming for onr farmers, on account of
the foreign demand for grain promising
to bo greater than for many years. The
war having consumed home supplies, the
draught on foreign supplies must bo very
greatly increased. Moreover, the war
has greatly Interfered with fall sowing
lu Germany and Franco, and the next
aggregate of crops la these countries must
be much smaller than heretofore. And
the probability of an Increased demand
for American wheat is strengthened by
the Immense fulling off In the supply on
hand in the four chief grain marke’s of
the world since January 1,1570. Between
the comparative smallness of the stock,
on hand and the certain diminution of
the European crop, a brisk demand upon
America is inevitable, and an Increase lu
prices will follow as a matter of course*

DII.SCIIENCK ADVISES CONSUMPTIVES TO
GO TO FLORIDA. IN WINTER.
Having for the last thlriv-flvo years devoted
my whole lime and attention to Urn study of
lunu diseases and oimMimpflon. 1 feel that I uie
derstand fuliv tho emu so that ought to ho pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad ea«o of 'disease 1
lumiHto UeivHhv shundaeM. The and most
important step Is for tho nationt loavoid liking
cold and the host of all places on this continent
for this purpose In wlnlor. is Florida, well down
In the Stale, where tho temperature Is regular,
in,,) no i subject to such variations as |.i mor.e
Northern latitudes. Palutka IS a point I can
ecommend. A rood hot**! Is kept there by Pe
terman. Ea«t winter I saw several persons
there whose lungs had been badly diseased but
who under Urn healing Influence of the cllmuto
and tnv medicine*, wore getting well.
One hundred miles,furtuer down the river Is a
point which I would prefer to t'ahuka.nH tho
temperature Is more even and the ntr dryland
bracing. Motlonvllleand Enterprise are located
there • I should give a deemed preference to
Meltouvllu*. it Is two miles from river or lake,
ami it seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be belter,
and patients complain at times bat that Is a
good sign, 'ns 11 indicates a return of appetite,
anil when nils la the case j hey generally increase
lu Uc.hU. and then tho lungs must neal.
Jacksonville, Hlborbln,Green Covo.arfd many
other places m various parts of Florida, cun be
safely recommended lo consumptives in winter.
My reasons lor saying so arc that patients are
le-s liable to take cold there then where (heroin
a less oven temperature, and it Is not necessary
lo sav that wheio a consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds ho Is coitain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well clown
into the Slate nut of the reach «l prevmilti eusg
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost anv
other of the localities I have named, will bene
-111 thiMßWhnnrelmnWeil with n wrul.l liver, a
illsariKl Htninaeli. ilenuiceil b.iwels, anr* llirnnt
or cough hot for those wlu.se lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend*
ot For llftoen vears prior tolk«W. I was profession
ally In New York. Iloston, Uattnnoro and Phila
delphia every week, wheie 1 snw and examined
on un average live hundred patients n week. A
practice so extensive, embracing ovary possible
phase of lung disease, has enabled mo to under
stand the disease tally, and hence, my camion
id regard lo taking cold. A person may take
vast quantities of Scimnck’n Pu amnio Strain.
Seaweed Tonlcand Mandrake Fill, and yet dlo it
ho does not avoid Inking cold.
In Florida, nearly eveivbndy Is using
Keoenck-K Mandrake Pills, for the eiimate is
more likely to produce billons habits than more
northern latitude. It is a well established fad
that natives of Florida rarely die of consumption
especially those of the southern part. On the
other hand, in New England, one third, at least,
of the population dlo of this terrible d'sease.-
In tlie Middle State* It does not prevail no largo-
Iv nil 11 there are mady thouHandsof cases there. -
Wliattt vast percentage of Ulo would bo silved
If consumptives were easily alarmed lu regard
to taking fresh c«hl us ih»y «ro about searlet
fever, stn <ll pox.&o. ihu they are not. They
lake what they term ft Utle cold, which they are
eredmous onough to believe will wear oIT In a
f«w davs. They nay no attention to it, and hence
it Joys the foundation foraiiorher and another -
►till, until tho lungs are diseased beyond nil
hope for cure, . ; . .
Mv advice in persons whose lungs are nnected
even sllg'.ily Is. to ny hi a stock of KcheiicU's
Pulmonic *»yrun. Sehetick's Seaweed Tonic and
Sclicnek's Mamlruke Ibllsand goto Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines bt cause
I am thoroughly acquainted with their act-on.—
1 know that where they are used In strict ac«
cordanco' WlUi mv directions they win do tho
wo'k that Is required. This necompllshod, na
ture win do (ho rest. Tho physician who pre
scribes for cold, cough or ulght*Hwcats.and then
advises tho patient to walk or rideout every
■ lay. will ho sure to have a corpse on his hands
neforo long.
Mv plan is to give my three medicines. In no*
co'daula* with Mm prloled direction*. exc*i»t-fn
w>mo cases whore a free use of the Mandrake
Fills is necessary. Mv object Is to give tone to
dm stomach—to get up a good appetite. It Is
always a good sign when a pntmnt begins to
iriiw hungry. I have opes of such. With a
rell-h for (ood and the g’aUrle ifbm of t hat rel
ish eotues good h'lood.an i l with It. more flesh,
which is closely followed by a healing of the
lung*, Then tho cough loosens,and abates, tho
creeping chills and clammy night-Hweilu no
longer prostrate and nunov, .mu the patient gets
well, provided ho avoids biking cold.
Now there nre manv consumptives who have
not the means lo go Flo.uta. The question may
he asked. KMiero no hope for such? Corlalnly
tlmro Is. My advice to such N, mid ever has
been, to stay In u w inn room during the winter,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that point,
1 by means of a thermometer. Lottmoh a patient

medicine is required. I you have partaken too
freely of fruit and dturrluoacusu *, a dose of tho
Mandrakes will ruro you. If you arc subject to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes and
they will relievo you|in two bouts. X'you would
obviate the effect of a chance of water, or the
too' free indulgence in fruit, tako on« of the
Mandrakes every night or every other night,
and you nmv then drink water and eat water

without the risk of being made sick by them.—
