ATTEMPT TO IMPAIR PUBLIC CONFI
LDENCE IN Tl/2, ENTERPRIZE.
[From Chicago Post.]
An atter pt 2 has been made to impair
public confidence in the integrity of pur
pose of Mr. Crosby in his great Art As
sociation enterprise. Soule irresponsible
individual malliciosuly, and certainly
without any grounds, had telegraphed to
several eastern newspapers that the people
here lost confidence in the scheme being
carried out, or the prize ever awarded.
Now the people in Chicago know that
Rio one has ever expressed the slightest
doubt of the integrity of Mr. Crosby, or
his ability to carry out to the letter the
advertised project - of the Association,—
The sale et' tickets tins been, within the
past two weeks, brisker than ever, a.id
never has there been the slightest indi
cation of their depreciating in value.
In the following card Mr. Crosby reiter
ates his ability and determination to
carry out the plan of the Association.—
Mr. .NiCkersou guarantees his under
takings and the committee appointed to
superintend the awarding of premiUms
endorse both. The people Of Chicago re
quire no such .g.uarantees, but on the
contrary, the whole city would-be' ready,
if required, to guarantee both the com
mittee, Mr: Arlekerson and , !'lr. Crosby
himself, who originated, and who •is suc
cessfully carrying out the Art Association
scheme.
To the ItAmbers of the Crosby _Opera
Muse Art Association: -
The sale of Certificates in the Associ
ation has already been so great as to en
able me to state that the destribution of
premiums heretofore announced will be
made.to their satisfaction or the money
refunded.
U. ,q. CROSBY, Actuary, A. A
Having the utmost confidence in the
ability of Mr. Crosby to carry out his
enterprise, I hereby guarantee his un
dertaking, as'above announced.

It is very rarely that we feel inclined
to call the attention of our readers to.
any of the`gift'arrangenients -with which
our papers have lately been flooded; but
this scheme of what we may call the
Crosby - Art Union, is so largely and
generously Conceived, as well as so
handsomely and unequivocally indorsed
by the leading citizens of Chicago, that
we unhesitatingly give it our cordial,
approval. The cost of the Opera House
was $600,000, and the individuals who
are disposed to purchase such a property,
at such a price, are rare, even when its
accompanyino• ° stores offices and studios
rent for $30,000.- What in this case
was to be done Mr. Crosby or those
who may be associated with him are sa
gacious men. They originated this Art
Association; so broadly and liberally ar
ranged, it can scarcely-fail of insu,reing
itself a positive success. - In the first
place, they offer to every subscriber, not
alone a share in the Opera -House, with
the chance of ultimately becoming its
sole proprietor, but a- possibility of ob
taining also othei very 'valuable pre
miums. These consist 'of Bierstadt's
great paintin g ,"The Yo Semite Valley;"
Cropsey's "Auerican Autumn ;" Schus
sele,s national work, "Irving and his
Friends;" as well as works by the lead
ing artists of the country. The first
seven are in actual value $43,000. That
this isa positivelygeuuine offer no doubt
can exist, as the artists give it their
unhesitating and cordial approval. Under
any circumstances chid ought to guarantee
its. purity and intention; but when such
a series- of prOthinent citizens of the
Western Metropolis permit Mr.' Crosby
to use their names in his- advertisements
as a proof of his good faith, such a guar
antee is imnaeasuarably . strengthened,
At the tame time we may call the at
tention of the timidly speculative to the
'fact that every purchaser of a share re
ceives an engraving of at least, double
'the value of the money which he has
paid. , The whole scheme is so magnifi
cent in all its arrangements that we shall
'indeed be surprised •should Mr. Crosby
not speedily realize .the - whole of the
amount required by him.

Cured by Nishlees Eferb Bitters .!
When Mishler's Bitters were first intro
duced to the public the proprietor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
cific for Cholera During the fall of 1865,
Dr. Mishler received the following note
froth Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster
Pa.,a member of the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker had-a great deal
of experience in the treatment of. Cholera
is a druggist of sixteen years standing,was
Hospital Steward in th e Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and
one in whose statement the most implicit
confidence can be placed :
. Lancaster, Noveniber 3d, 1865.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Sir:—Knowing that
the Cholera with its dreadful ravages is now
upon our land, and knowing that no medi
cine now in our country possesses such a
caloric influence "which is the vital reme
dy for all diseases of this kind," as the
Bitters you now making I request you to
prepare such a quantity of your bitter as
would suit all demands, as I assure you
they will be an invaluable remedy, and
will be hailed as a blessing by all who will
use it.
570,108,37
. _
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters were constantly curing the most
violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus
and kindred complaints,Dr. Misbler at last
()tiered his compounds as a cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully justifies all that, Mr.
Baker says in his note, It certainly proves
that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of
iieclicine far exceeds that of most doctors
who too often close their patients with de
leterious drugs on some absurd theory.—
For the purpose of showing that Mishler's
Herb Bitters will cure Cholera we - give
below a few facts.
All intelligent persons who have investi
gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is
caused by poison introduced and generated
into the system by impure water, damp
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
deficient N'entilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera always rages worse
on board of ships where all of the above
causes are found more or less - combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it.it is
necessary to neutralize this position, and
that Mishler's Bitters will do this is, proven
by the following :
The steamship Virginia, arrived at the
Port of New York: about the middle of
April with cholera a board a number of the
passengers having died during the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen
gers were a family named Sebmith, from
Baden, Germany. This family 'was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them
they had friends living in this city (Lan
easter. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish
let's Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Sehmith family. When this
package arrived at Quarantine,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure manner: it safely-reached the
Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Schmith and Christ. Seim) ith
were both laboring under choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmitt), wife at the
former was very bad, not, expected to re
cover, and a son had died of the dread com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Mish
ler's Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of
Mercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itto his Vl' i re and brother
both of whom it at once relieved. They
used the entire contents of the bottle and
all three were so much relieved that the
physicians permitted them to leave the
Virginia,after being confined at quarantine
aboard that scourge ship forty-two says.—
The.Sehmiths proceeded to their relatives
in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity
called on Dr. Mishler to express their grati
tude for the timely relief they had found
in his Bitters. Mr Henry Sehmith stated
that all the compounds the docto - rs had
given him did no good, but that one glass
of Mishler's Bitters made him feel.like a
new man, 'warming his whole system,
giving him a healthful heat and causing
him to perspire freely. His statement was
substantially was substantially as given
above. and Ito further said that if the doc
tors had not kept the first bottle from
reaching him, his son would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. Schmith .vas still weak from
the effect of cholera, but the continued use
I of the Bitters were most surely restoring
her accustomed vigor.
It is not to be expected that regular M.
Ds. wil I admit that any remedy nut to be
fbund in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any other complaint, but candor
I compels Dr. D. H. Bissell of the Cholera
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit that he
believes Mishler's Bitters to be a " very
good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Quarantin, New York,3 one 7th, ISG6.
George S. Rowboiham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
Yours of the 2:3d, inst. is to hand. In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
ease of Bitters you sent me for trial &c.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
Hospital. I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all eases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. H. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from. Dr. Bissell,just after the
reception of the Bitters, and before he had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered an important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-day occupies the most
important position of any physician iu
America. The passengerS and crews o
emigrant mid merchant vessels that arrive
in the Port of New Yorkfrom foreign coun
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
trol, and the great experience he has had
in the management of that dreadful dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an unusual importance.' This letter
together with the statement or the Selimith
fandly—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, wore under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by Mish
ler‘s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. -Pearsol of
York county, who,after suffering severely
from all the symptons of Cholera, finally
became collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating that he with beyond re
lief) a friend administered freely,Mishler's
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was generated in the body, perSpira
tion was induced and after using one bot
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
•Mishler's Bitters cures Ciiolera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system,whether
generated by bad . air. 111th, as iu
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all bad symptons allayed by
the use of Michler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves
that Mishler's Billers will cure the bite of
a poisonous snake:
Lancaster, July 4th, 1365..
'Mr. B. Mishler —Si ri—Abo ut eight weeks
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snake, but at-the time did not know of
what species it was. Immediately_ after
the bite my hand. swelled to a very large
size, and tlie poison appeared - to be.work
ing up my arm. I suffered great pain in
my hand and arm; I had to quit work and
was afraid I would be compelled to have
my hand amputated. I canto to you, and
by your advice' washed my band and arm
with your Herb Bitters at the same time
taking it inwardly. In eleven days I was
able to go to work again. The poison - was
all drawn out and Mishler's - Herb Bitters
was only medicine or application that
.T made use of. Mr. Christian Burns, a
near neighbor of mine, went out a day or
two utter to the place where I was bitten,
and killed what I believe was the same
snake that bit me as he caught within five
yards of the spot where I - was bitten. It
proved to be what is called a copper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same one
that bit me or not:—one thing is certain—
that your. Bittevs cured the bite of a snake
in my case for.whichl shall ever-be thank,
- ful, as I believe it was the means of saving
my hand.
.. ,
, I.shall be pleased to. personally satisfy
any one of the-truth of the above. .
