OP THE '
((JMPERL AND VALLEY.

proceeded into, the ,J3reat Cove, whither
jiffleld and his party followed them,

wiling, and the danger the frontier iu
libilants would he exposed to il the
Indians were again supplied with cloth
ing and ammunition. In doing this, be
irged, they became guilty of murder
Ibemselves, and were lilegally trading at
Ibe expense of the bloOd and treasure of
He frontiers. The traders still persisted
Ingoing forward, and Lieutenant James
Smith collected ten of the rangers who
bid fought with him in the Indian wars,
,nd npent off. secretly by night and en- 1
ampcd inf the woods. ; The! next day. I
iey blacked and painted their faces, and
faylaid tbe traders near Sideling Hlll.—
jailtb posted bis men at Intervals for
ibout forty rods, in.tbe forest'along tbe
road, and opened a slow and continuous
Ira upon tbe caravan. ’ When tbe tra
cers saw tbeir pack horses falling around
bem, they, called out to tbe assailants
“\Vbat would you. have us do?’’ The
aply was: “Collect all your loads to the
front and unload them at one place, take
our private property, and then-retire.’*
i'lien they were gone,- Smith and his
arty examined the packs, and finding
beio to contain powder, blankets, shirts,
tomahawks and scalping knives,
hey destroyed everything
In tbe meantime the traders returned
jFort Loudon, and applied to Lieuten
at Grant, the commanding officer, for a
ompany of soldiers to go in pursuit of
bo "robbers”, as they called Smith’s
uen. The soldiers were seat, and with-
iHapplying to amagistrate or obtaining
ay civil authority, but barely on bus
[don, they arrested, without*, duo pro
ses of law, u number of persons, some
ifwbom were not in any way connected
vitbtbe movement of Smith and his
lagers, and confined them in tbe guard
iouse at Fort Loudon. A number, of tlie t
ettlers assembled to resist the soldiers,. 1
ad shots were exchanged. James
Irowo was shot through the thigh by
*rge'ant Leonard MoGlusken, and a
rarraot for the arrest of McGlasken was
mid by Justice William Smith, but
Irant refused to give him up. Lleuteu
[Qt Smith then raised three hundred
IQemeri, and, took position on a bill

! the fort-sent for the, leader of the
murgent forces, and asked what he
leant by appearing before the King’s
it with such a mob. Smith replied
bat be came to demand tbe prisoners
hen in custody, and If an attempt was
aiie to send them to Carlisle jail under
aescortof the King’s troops, they were
s|pnnioed to fight the troops and die to
mao, sooner than let the. prisoners go
(Jail. Grant flatly refused to surrender
is prisoners, but Bmith soon captured
vice as many British soldiers as they
id settlers da the. guard house; and
Irant was forced to an exchange of pris
oners, but kept a Dumber of rifles which
ihesoldiers bad taken from the country
«o|)le, .
On the 28th' of May, Grant was out
iding about, a mile from the fort, in
»opany with two other men, when h©
ras waylaid by five armed men—James
tolth, Bum’l Owens, John Fiery and
others. They attempted to surround
frant, and one of the party caught bis
lone by the : bridle, but be broke loose

[fried him off fifteen miles into, the

bo country people* Grant signed a
ond lu fifty pounds to deliver the arms,
od he was then release*!.
Demand was subsequently made for
be rifles,'but the. lieutepqnt declined to
rnply with the conditions of his bond;
3(1 on November 21st, about seven
’clock in the evening, the fort was
Wounded by two or three hundred
*ople, who continued firing and hoot
during the whole night. The next
iight they again opened tire on the fort,
od continued till daylight, ytheh’they
*nta demand that the cantured arms

h the refusal of the lieutenant to cora
iy with the demand, they opened such

'ere driven from their places. About
hreeo’clock in the .afternoon William

Ilia somewhat difficult to determine
loin which party this curious specimen
o' the literature of the times emanated;
“l It was deemed of, sufficient oouse-
Wonee to comiband the serious cbnsld
•falloa of General Gage, aa well as the
Ho*eraor and council. ' 1 ' 11
The Governor went to Carlisle, In
company W|t{i the Attorney General and
wo members of the council, and caused
Warrants to be Issued for the persona
known to have taken part in the jiot; J
and the sheriff was despatched to execute
them, authorized to summon to hl»" aid
the power of the county,and if necessary,
to request the assistance of the King’s
troops at , Fprt Xqnihiu. But the sus
pected persona hadall .absconded, before
lie reached the neighborhood in 'which
they lived, and not a single arrest was
made. Subsequently bills were presen
ted to the grand jury of the county, but
the sympathy of the community with
the rloten*was so strong that the bills
were ignored. To prevent further diffl
;°dtoy,, Grant and his command were
; transferred tor F6rt:Pitt.
James Smith, the leader of the settlers
attacks, lived at Conococheague
s In 1755, at the age ofeight
eefDj he was captured 1 by .the Indians, aqd
remained in' captivity until 170(3, In
4764 he'served as a lieutenant in Bou
| quetVexpedition. 1u1759, the
carrylng, goods and '‘warlike
stores to the Indians, who had again
become troublesome. A Jarge
of go.ods was destroyed, and several per
-Bori‘B u \jpere apprehended and thrown into,
irons In the guoid house atFortßedford.
Smith determined if possible to release,
them from the graspof the military pow
er. He culled around him eighteen of
his o)d “black boys,” faithfully tried in
the Indian service, and started at night
to capture the fort. 'William Thompson
went ahead as a scout. The second nighty
after crossing the Juipato, they rested
UQtil J:be moou rose, about'eleven o’clock,
and then proceeded until they met Thom
pson, who reported that'the command
ing officer at Bedford had heard of their
approach, and bad ordered thirty men
on guard. The British troops laughed
at the absurdity of eighteen men coning
to rescue the prisoners, but they did. not
expect, them before noon. The same
night Smith and his men proceeded
cautiously to within sight of the fort.—
At daylight the gate was opened, and
only three sentinels stood upon the wall
—tbe guards at that time being assembled
in an inner room to take their morning
dram, having left their arms' standing
together at one place. Smith’s men ran
rapidly in by the open gate, and. the
morning being misty, the sentinels never
saw them until they were all within tbe
enclosure and bad possession of tbe arras.
Then ohe°of tlij guards fired off bis mus
ket, and all of them decamped. Smith
compelled a blacksmith to take the irons
off the prisoners, and with his friends,
quickly left, the place. Smith himself
afterwards remarked that “this was the
first British fort in America taken by
American ‘rebels.’ ”
Some time after -Ibis, Smith took a
journey westward, to survey some land,
• and as he passed near Bedford, walking
and leading his'liorso, he was overtaken
by several men on horseback, who pre
sented their pistols and, called upon him
to surrender. He stepped back,' leveled
his rifle an.d told.them to stand off. Sev
.eral.ahots were exchanged, and n traveler,
whom Smith bad ..met on the road, Was
killed; They charged Smith with the
murder, and made him a prisoner, ami
took him to Bedford, where; Justice
Holmes summoned a jury, and held an
inquest, winch brought in a verdict of
wilful murder against Smith; and be was
committed to prison. Blit there was
great dissatisfaction with the decision of
the jury, and Coroner William Denny,
thought proper to reexamine the case.—
Thcrbddy of the tburdered man was rais
ed, and hie shirt was found blackened
around the bullet bole by the powder of
the charge which killed him. From # the
testimony of Smith’s accusers, he stood
at a distance of twenty feet from the
murdered man, aud after h number of
experiments the jury were of opinion
that if a shot were fired at that distance,
tbe powder would not bum the shirt, and
consequently that the murder was not
committed by Smith, but by,some of his
assailants. ‘ «
In the meantime, for fear of a rescue,
Smith was sent privately over the moun
tains to Carlisle, where he was thrown
into prison and heavily ironed. In a
few daysa number of Smith’s old “black
boys” came to Carlisle to rescue hira.-r
They surrounded the jail and demanded
his release, but he spake to them from
the jail window, and told them be was
under an indictment for murder, and it
would be dishonorable to permit himself
to be rescued. He urged them, as the
greatest favor they could do him, to
withdraw from the jail and return to
their homes. They turned homeward,
but before they arrived at Conococheaguo,
they met another party of threebundred
men, coming to their assistance, and all
of them, returned to Carlisle and again
demanded the releaseof Smith—but they
were again prevailed on to go to .their,
homes When the Court convened
Smith was arraigned for* trial. Excite-
ment ran high, and cnowds filled the
town. On the trial Robert George, one
of Smith’s assailants, swore tha he him
self fired the. first ebot, and evidence,
similar to that adduced by Coroner Den
ny was laid before the jury, who brought
in a verdict of not guilty, whereupon one
of the judges declared that notone of the
jury should ever hold an office above a
constable..
Smith afterwards rose to distiuctlon in
the Revolutionary army. Hp was a
member of Assembly from Westmore-
land county* arid while In Philadelphia,
in 1777, he met a party of.his old com
rades from Cumberland Valley on.(lie
street, on their way to. New Jeresy to
fight the British; and they desired him
to be their commander. . He obtained
leave of absence from the Assembly, and
with his company of'rangers took the
advance of Washington’s army. At
Rocky Hill they attacked and defeated
two hundred of the eneniy, and the next
day fell upon a party of Hessians guard
ing the# office's’ baggage, captured the
guard and the wagons, and released sev-
era! American prisoners. Unencumbered
with extra clothing or camp equipage,
shilled In the manouvrea of Indian war
fare, accustomed to long marches and
scanty fare, they were a terror,to the foe
wherever they appeared; and so conspic-
uous were their services that the council
of safety unanimously recommended
the raising of a resjment of backwoods
men under command of Captain Smith.
General Washington,'however, did not
approve of the system of warfare waged
by Smith’s rangers, and while he declin
ed The preferred regiment, he tendered
Smith a ma)or’e commission In a regi
ment of riflemen already raised He
concluded rather to serve with hie old
companions In arms, with whom he
remained until ho received a colonel's
commission In 1778. In which capacity he
served with credit to the end of the war.
Assault and Battery.— On Thura
day night Inst, Constable Sanno arrested
Daniel Henry and Joseph Armhollz, at
Doubling Gap, for committing an assault
and battery upon James B, Maglnughlln,
about tile first of .May, They entered
ball before Esquire Shambaugh, of Plain
fluid, for their appearance at court.
An Excursion Party—President
GbaSu? in Town.— Ou Thursday last,
an excursion party of twenty persons ar
rived In town,and proceeded by an.extra
train to Pine QrOve. The party consisted
of Mrs. President' Grant and son, In.
charge of Major Douglas, son of the late
Stephen A. Douglas, and now private
secretary to the President; I 'Jay Coolie
and son, Mrs. Henry D. Cooke* wife of
the Governor, of Washington, and a
number of others whose names we have
not learned. The party are Vencamped
about half a mile above PlneGrovo fur
nace, and are enjoying themselves fish
ing for trout and breathing the pure
mountain air, which must have been de
cidedly refreshing during the first few
days of their snjurn. Ou Saturday af
ternoon Mr. Douglas, Mrs. Grant and
son wenttoNewvllleon the tbreeo’clook
train, and President Grant passed through
town on the late train—accompanied byj
Marshal Jjfaajpu. Thfty passed t|je tfofr
bath with some of their relatives at New
ville, and on Monday the Presidential
party started for Washington. While
the train halted in Carlisle, Gen. Grant
appeared on the rear platform of the car.
As it was/generaily known the President
would be on the train, quite a number of
persons bad assembled in the street, and
three cheers were given for the distin
guished strauger, which beacknowledged
by lifting his bat., A number of- army
officers and others were presented to the
President,-after which Mr. John Noble
introduced him to the crowd, who felt
it incumbent upon them to give another
cheer, in response to which his excellency
again deified his beaver.
"A marked feature of the occasion was
the absence of every leading- Republican
in the town. Several of them were seen
standing, onthe outskirts of tbe crowd,
but not one approached tbe President or
took his ban*d.. We can scarcely ascribe
this apparent discourtesy to a feeling of
delicacy, for modesty Is not one of the
cardinal virtues of thatorganization. The
absence of these gentleman rendered the
occasion very embarrassing. The Presi
dent stood gazing at the crowd for about
three minutes, and the crowd stood gaz
ing at him, and not a word was spoken
(o break the painful silence. Finally the
President turned bin back upon tbe crowd
and began conversing with some one in
side the oar door. He seemed to be about
.as much relieved the spectators were
when the train moved off.
vCom« Foote and Sisters.— On Tues
day, May 16th, afternoon and evening, at
Rheem’s Hall, our citizens will have an
opportunity of witnessing the recherche
performances given by Com, Foote and
Sister, the little Fairy Queen of Beauty.
Both are the smallest and smartest peo
ple of mature age living. Our citizens
will be surprised to see how they have
improved in acting since they were here
some years ago, although they have
remained in tbeir diminutive stature.—
They are assisted this time "by
tbeir sisters, Miss Lotta Nestel, a talent
ed young lady of full grown size, and by
Mrs. Russell, tbe charming vocalist and
pianist. Chicago and . other western
papers claim that she is equal if-mot; su
perior to.any of tbe most distinguished
sopranos from abroad who ever visi
ted Chicago. Her voice is of surprising
clearness and power, and has been train?
ed and cultivated to the highest point of
artistic excellence.. Also,.Mr. C. Wilk
inson, from London, England, the great
violinist, Is 1 with them. By all means
let nobody stay at home, as tbe price of
admission is within tbe reach of all. Af
ternoon-adults, 25 cents; children, of
schools, 10 cents. Evening—adults, 35 ;
children under 12 years, 15 cents. The
afternoon performance will*commence at
4 o'clock, in order to accommodate the
schools.
Burglars and Chicken Thieves.—
On Sunday night, the store of Mrs,
Asobepbnch, on North East street, was
entered by burglars, who gained admis
sion through the front window. The
family, hearing a noise, became alarmed,
and the burglars fled. Later in the
night they returned and v entered the
house through a back window, but were
again driven away. They returned a
second time, ami carried off fifteen chick
ens from a pen in the yard, and endeav
ored to carry away two hogs. Constable
Sanno, on Monday morning, started on
track of the thieves; and by feathers on
the ground traced them to the house of a
man named Reed, on South street} where
a number of the chickens were found
and recovered.. Reed was committed to
prison, and his companion Edwards took
to ids heels. Constable Han no followed
him. some distance down the - Lisburn
road, where he captured him and brought
him to jail.
Committed. -Our genial friend Gougher
—the champion bill poster and fence
decorator—is again in trouble. In the
natural playfulness of his disposition
he threshed a .little boy named Duuyon,
who was playing “ shinny” in the street,
and accidentally knocked a stone un
comfortably near the shins of Madam
Gaucher. The native chivalry of his
character impelled him to resent the in
sult, as the protector of the family ; In
consequence of which George was com
mitted to the gloomy walls of the prison,
there to mourn the ingratitude of repub
lics. *>

Chioken Thieves. —Chicken ' and
pigeon thieves seem to bo driving a
thriving business. Last week twenty
pigeons were stolen from Fred’k Bnhner,
on tbe Public square. Eighty chickens
were stolen from Henry Gluter, at the
edge of the borough of Carlisle, on the
Waggoner’s Gap road. Forty chickens
from the coop of Mrs. Askew, on East

Death From Rope
dip the following from a western ex*
change, and hope It will bo a warning toj'
those little girls who are so ambitious tfr
excel in rope jumping.**
“By a notice elsewhere, It will be seen
that another death has occurred in our
city from excessive rope Jumping,a little
duughterof James A. Moody having died
on Monday, evening from inflammation
of the bowels, brought on by over indul*
geuce in that exercise. While rope
jumping may be apleasurable and health*
ful recreation, within reasonable limits,
the tendency to excess in the
of the exercise should lead to disuse of
the practice entirely. In this Cass we
learn that on. Thursday, In the strife with
her companions to see which could jump
the greatest number of times without
stopping,' the deceased accomplished the
feat something over three hundred limes,
ofier which, feel 1 nggreatly exhausted,she
sat or laid downjupoh the grass fora con*
siderabljolength of Uinpro’Bably takfng"
cold by so doing. The* next morning—;
though complaining to her compaflipns
of being sore aricflame, before entering
sohuoi she made one hundred and seven
ty consecutive jumps qiore. About 11
o’clock she was compelled to return
home from sohuoi, severe inflammation
of the bowels rapidly developing itself,
from which she died three days thereaf
ter, as above announced.”
Since the above was in print, we learn
from the Harrisburg Patriot that a daugh
ter of Dr. Brandt, of Mechanicsburg,
jumped rope two hundred times on Fri
day evening last, it is supposed on a wa
ger,' and fell dead immediately after. She
was sometime before warned and forbid
den to jump the rope, but did so notwith
standing, with the above result.
Ball's Keystone Reaper and Mow
er.—Ball's Keystone Reaper and Mowers
with the Johnson Self Rake Attachment,
manufactured by the Reese, Staats &
Mellick Manufacturing Co., Philllpsburg,
N. J,, is pronounced by competent judges
a machine of unsurpassed merit. It is
simple in construction, light and strong,
and not liable to get out of order. It bad
an Immense sale last year, was thorough
ly tested, and gave.universal satisfaction.
The Mowing and jSeapiiig Attachments
are entirely separate, which enables the
farmer to change from mowing to reap
ing in five minutes, making a good sin
gle.mower and one of the very ,best com
bined machines in use. Farmers con
templating the purchase of a Mower and
Reaper will do well to examine Ball’s
Kejstone, and we fcjel satisfied they will
make selection of it. Mr. Peter Snyder,
of-Silver Spring township, is the agent
for Ball’s Keystone Reaper and Mower.
His post office address is Hoguestown.,
WhitewashinqTrees.— Don’t white
wash the hark upon the bodies of fruit
and ornamental trees. We are'at a loss
to know for what purpose some persons
thus coat the bark of fruit and shade
trees about their premises with lime, says
an exchange, unless it is to make them
look nice. It certainly does them more
harm than.good, as it serves to obstruct
tile respiratory organs, and in a measure
prevents a thrifty growth. Should the
bark become diseased and,rough, or cov
ered' with moss, scrape it thoroughly
with a hoe or scraper of some suitable
description ; after wbich wash thorough
ly with a strong solution of soap and wa
ter. If this is done properly every sea
son, it will prove a great benefit,, by de
stroying the ins.ets which prey upon the
bark/ aud otherwise promoting a healthy
condition thereof, and increasing the
vigor and vitality of the tree.
The Growth op Shad.—Shad, ac
cording to the opinion of Seth Green, the
well known pisciculturist, do not attain
their full growth sooner than at the age
of three or four years. These views are
formed from the examination and com
parison of the young shad hatched out
in artificial breeding troughs and, those
caugfit in the Hudson. v ;Y,oqq2 shad
hatched out are at the age of six weeks
only one and one quarter Inches long,
and not larger around than an ordinary
sized darning needle, while in the month
.of Juno shad five inches long are caught
in the Hudson, The theory is advanced
that the five inch shad is one year old,
and having remained in the river or near
Its mouth during the first twelve months,
comes up the river with the old shad in
the spring. .
The Wheat Fields.'—From different
parts of the county we learn that*the
growing wheat crop never looked better
at this season of the year than utTpresent.
The only danger appears to be that, in
case of a wet spring, there will be more
straw than Is favorable to the largest
production of grain. It is true tluere is
yet the risk of the Hessian fiy, the milk
weevil aud rust, but so far all the indi
cations point to a bountiful crop at the':
coming harvest.
Dr. Sohoeppe’s Case.—The judiciary
committee of the house of representatives
has reported the bill to allow the case of
Dr. Sohoeppe to be brought before the
Supreme Court, and to hear the after
discovered testimony, with a negative
recommendation, which is equivalent to
a defeat of the project.
The bill repealing the Act for the col
lection of taxes, by the County Treasurer
of Cumberland county bas passed both
Houses of the Legislature, and will, we
learn, be signed by the Governor and
made a law. .
Onions and Lettuce.—Many, persons
will use onions that have* Just begun to
grow and throw away iba tops, aud per-
Uaps at the Same lettuce. At
this season of the year, tops of-onions are.
more tender than lettuce, and if dressed
in the same wuy. or eveu with a litlle
sugar and vinegar, they make a belter
relish than the beat lettuce brought to
market.

Dr. 0. M. Evans,
Dear Sir; In the year 1857 1 was
attacked with Dyspepsia, From that time until
Ihuyunr 1801 I continued gnwlng worse, and
was reduced from a strong and healthy man to
a mere living skeleton, weighing but ll» pounds.
During those four years I had the attention of
the most celebrat'd physicians In New York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore. I also visited the
watering places, and tried every remedv I could
hear of for tho euro of Dyspepsia, without ex
periencing auy relief whatever, and I finally in
despair gave up nil hope of being cured, and re
turned homo with tho feeling, that death alone
could alleviate my sufferings. In this extremi
ty. at the urgent sollcltat.on of my wife. I began
theuseofHOOFL AND’HGEUMAN BITTERS,"
although with no morp fattn In Its efficacy than
I bad In preparations previously tried.
After u‘ Ing four bottles of tho Bitters, to my
surprise f felt I was Improving. My fond tasted
well, aud there was a very marked change for
the better. I continued the use of the Bitters
until I hud taken sixteen bottles, and then, to
ray Inexpressible gratification I found myself
perfectly cured. ...» ~
Since that happy termination of my affliction
I nave not bought fifty couts worth of raedloluo
of any kind, and to-day I weigh two hundred

C, W. AHL,
fIR. SCHENOK ADVISES CONSUMPTIVES TO
GO TO FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Having tor the last thirty-five years devoted
my whole time and atlentkm to the study of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that I un
derstand fully the course that ought to bo pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad cose of diseased
.lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most
important stop la,for the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the beet of all places on this continent,
for this purpose In winter, Is Florida, well down
In the State, whore the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations as la more
Northern latitudes, Pululku Is u point I can
recommend. A good hotells kept there by Pe
terman. Lost winter I saw several persons
there whoso luugs had been badly diseased, but
who, under tho healing influence of the climate
and my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles furtuor down tho river, Is a
point which 1 would prefer to Palatko, as the
temperature Is moroovon and tho air dry and
bracing. Mellonvillonud Enterprise are located
there X should glvo a decided preference to
MclionvUlo. It Is two miles from river or lake,
'and It seems almost Impossible ta lake cold
’there. The tables in Florida might bo better,
and patients complain at times but that is a
good sign, as it indicates a return of appetite,
and when this is tho case they generally increase
in Hush, and then the lungs mustTueul. .
Jacksonville, lllberhla.Ureen Cove, and many
~othor places m various parts of Florida, oau bo
I safely recommended to consumptives in winter
I My reasons tor suyingso are that patients are
lc*s liable to take cold there then whore there Is
a less ovoa temperature, and It is out necessary
to say that wneio a Consumptive poison exposes
himself to frequent colds lie is ceitulu to die
shortly. Theroioro ray advice is, go well down
into tho State out of the reach ot provatllusasg
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost uuy
other of the have named, will bcue
fit those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a
disored- stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat
'or cough, but for those whoso lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend*
For fifteen yearsprlor to UWD, I was profession
ally In Now York, Uustop, Baitmioh) ana Phila
delphia every weeic, wheio I saw and examined
on uu average live hundred patients a week. A
practice so extensive, embracing every possible
phase of lung disease, hus'euableU mo to under

helloes not avoid taklug/cold. *’
In Florida, nearly evoiybody Is using
-Scuenck’s Mandrake Pills, lor-the climate is.
more likely to produce bilious habits than more
northern latitude. It Is a well established fact
that natives of Florldarareiy die of consumption
especially those of the-southern part.-. On. the
other hand. In New England, one third, at least,
of the population die of this terrible disease.—
In tho Middle States It does not prevail so large
ly, still there are mady thousands of cases there.
What a vast percentage of 1110 would bo saved
If consumptives were easily alarmed iu regard
to taking fresh csldos they are about scarlet
fever, sm ill pox, Ac; But. they are not,. They,
,take what they term a little cold, which they are
credulous enough to believe will wear off in a
few days. They pay no.auention to It,and bouco
-It lays tho foundation for another and another
still, until the lungs are diseased beyond all
hope for euro. •
My udvlco to persons whoso lungs are affected
oven slightly Is, to lay In a stock, of. Scheuck’s
Pulmonic syrup, Bchenck’s Seaweed Tunic and
Scheuck’a Mandrake : Pills and,go to Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines because
X am thoroughly acquainted with their action,—
I know that where they are used In strict ac
cordance with ray directions they will do tho
work that is required. This accomplished, na
ture will do tho rest. The physlclau who pre
scribes for cold, cough or night-sweats,and then
advises the patient to walk or rideout every
day, will be suro to have a corpse on his hands
beiore long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, In ao
coruauco with tho. printed dlrectlons.except in
sumo coses where a free usoof tho Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to glvo tone to
the stomach—to get up a good appetite, it is
always a good sign when a patient begins to
grow hungry, X have, opes of such. With a
relish for loud and the gratification of that rel
ish comes good blood, and will! 11 more flesh,

lungs, Then tho -cough loosens and abates, the
creeping chills and clammy, uight-swo-its no
longer prostrate and aiutov, unu the nutleutgots
well, provided be avoids taking cold/ I
Now there are many consumptives who have
not tho means to go Flonda. The question may
be asked, is thero no hope for such? L'crlalniy
there is. My advice to such Is. and ever has
been, lo stay in a wkrin room during tho winter,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
wbicii should be kept regularly at that point,
by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient
take his exercise within thollmijsof tho room
by walkine up and down as much as his strength
will penult, lu order toTceep up a healthy circu
lation of the blood. I bavo cured thousands by
this system, and can do so again. Consump- '
tiou Is as easily cured ns any other disease If it ,
is taken In time, and the proper kind of treat
ment Is pursued. Tho fact stand* undisputed on 1
