Incidents of the Famine in Indlio Much bas been said of the distressing scenes witnessed in India during the recent famine, but we have seen no nar rative more touching than the following, which we copy from an English maga sine : A planter was informer that a woman had died by the roadside, and that a living chi).d was at her breast. Tie sent out .his servants, who found the corpse. and the child so 'tightly clasped in the mother's arms, that in bending it sack, stiff and 'cold, it broke. Tlie poor little infant, exhausted by exposure and want, died as it was being released. Another ease : A woman,with her three children, crawled up to a planter's' house just as tiffin was being cleared away ; the re mains of the curry and rice were carried out 'in the verandah and placed before her. Without attempting to eat, she seated the three children round the dish, who speedily devoured its contents; and, although the mother was wasted to a! skeleton, mumbling -her thanks; she turned away, grateful_ that her offspring had been fed, even while she herself still hungered. Here is yet another instance, still more wonderfully touching in its .forgetfulness of self : A little girl and her mother were seen lying under a mango tree. But were faint from hunger ; they had been trying to keep life together by feeding on snails, bet , . ries and lizards ; but growing weaker day by,day, they at last sunk down under this tree to await a lingering death. Some boiled rice was placed before them. .The mother was too weak to raise-herself, so, althoguh 'the child's big eyes flashed with hungry gleariti,' her little hands,well filled, first. sought the mother's mouth, and not until half the , rice was thus - con sumed did she berself,eat." Twice Married and Still a Maid., In the great Paris Exhibition there will be a painting with the simple title of , 'The Widow." A terrible fact connected with this picture is thus related : The lady is the Countess D—, who, although only twenty-four years of age, has been twice widowed. She is said to be of humble birth; but when only sixteen years of age, her great beauty attracted the attention of the Marquis de U—,who married her. On, leaving the church, however, the Marquis was assas sinated by some obscure - rival, and the lady was left a widow with an inimense fortune. The Marchioness retired to a convent, 'where she remained until her twentieth year.' She had made a journey to various parts of Europe, and visited, among. other places, St. Petersburg, where one of the most wealthy boyards of RuSsia placed at her feet his heart, his diamonds and his naillions.e The marriage was cel ebrated in the house of the bridegroom's mother, in a remote part of Russia, some distance from her own estate. The newly-' married couple left- for their new home in a magnificent sleigh. On the way they were attacked by wolves, , and the Count, in trying to defend his bride, made a false step, fell out of the sleigh into the snow, and was immediPtely devoured by the wolves. The horses, mad with terror, daShed off. with immense speed, and did not stop 'until they arrived at the Count's chateau, which was brilliant ly illuminated: for the newly married couple.

A Sure Preventative of apio TIES WONDERFUL REMEbY was discovered and introduced about twenty years ago by Or. S. t,neopsus, an eminent Egyptian physician. He had long seen and felt the want of some reme dy which would strike at t h e root of disease, and so prevent much of the suffering which the human family was then compelled to endure. The great question was presented to his mind every d in vivid colors as he moved among the sick and dying, - and observed the inefficiency of nearly, all the remedies then in use. Thus lie was lead to think and experiment; and after ten yours of study and labor, he presented to his fellow-man the wonderful'Zingari Bitters. The effect of this prep aration in-the prevention and cure of disease, was so marvellous and astonishing, that the most (tat tering marks of royal favor were bestowed upon him who discoveted it., B is' name was placed upon the Roll of isl'obles, and a gold medal with the fol lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public Bene factor—was presented to him by the Viceroy. The preparation has been used in several epidem ics of eholcia, both' as a preVentive and curative measure, And with such great success, that it has been introduced into nearly all the general hospitals of the old world. ' The okt saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, applies with marvelous force to cholera, and therefore any remeay that will pro tect us against this terrible disease should be freely and persistently used. All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison acts on the excretory, .organs, and keeps- them in working order, must prevent a sufficient accumula tion ut the poison to exert its terrible effects on the organism. - This is true not only . of cholera, i.ut of nearly all other maladies, especially the different forms of fever. - - The Great Ziegaii Bitters is just such a remedy as the ab :re conditions require. Its acts on the organs of excretion and secretion,keeping up a per fect balance between them. This Bitters is com posed entirely of roots and herbs, so nicely con cocted that ever) , organ is acted upon and put in tono. Its taste At pleasant and its .:ffects prompt and-lasting. Numerous cases .of the following disease have been cured by it: Cholera, Diarrlicett, Dysentery, Typhoid and Typhus Fever, Fever, Aguo, .Nervous Debility, Anaemia, .Female Irregulartues, Dyspep sia, Flatulency.

When Mishler's Bitters were first intro duced to the public the propriotor did not feel justified in recommending it as a spe cific for Cholera During the fall of 1865, Dr. Mlshler received the 'following note from 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 inthe 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, November 3d, 1865. Dr. Mishler—Dear Sir:—Knowing that the Cholera with its dreadful ravages is now upon our land, and ki.owing 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. 570,193,37 Being thus urged, and having noticed the Bitters were constantly curing the moss violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus and kindred complaints, Dr. Mishler at last offered 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 medicine fttr exceeds that of most doctors who too often dose their patiends , 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, darn p ness, filth and over-crowded rooms With defieient ventilation. 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 zi board a number of the passenger's having died during the voyage with this complaint. Among the passen gers were a family named Schmith, from Baden, Germany. This tinnily was at tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them they had friends living in this city (Lan caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and sent it to the Schmidt family. When this package arrived at Quaratitme,the doctors examined it and confiscated the contents. Another bottle was procured and packed in a more secure manner: itsafely reached the Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir ginia, Henry Schmith and Christ. Schmith were both la bo: ing under choleric symp toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmitt], wife o: 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 Schinith was the first to try it, and so instantaneous was the relief he experi enced that he gave it to nis wi re and brother both of whom it at once relieved. They used the entire contents of the bottle and I ' 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 Schmiths 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 Schmith stated that all the compounds the doctors 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 hint au6ealthfol,heat and causing him to perspire freely. His statement was substantially--was substantially as given above, and he 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 was still weak from the effect of cholera, but the continued use of the Bitters were most surely restoring her accustomed vigor. It is not to be expected that regular M. Ps. will admit that any remedy not to be found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol era or any other complaint, but candor 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 us to a case of Bit ters that was sent to him by a well known gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol lows : Columbia, Pa Hospital Ship Falcon, Quarantin, New York e ) tine 7th, 1566. George S. Rowbotham, Esq.-- Dear Sir : Yours of the 23d, inst. is to hand. In re ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the case of Bitters you seat 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 cases requiring Tonic remedies. D. H. BISSELL, Physician, Hos:pita]. Ship "Falcon." This letter from Dr. Bisselljust 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 in America. The passengers and crews o emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive in the Port of New York from foreign coun tries,are subject to his inspection and con trol, and the great experience he has bad in the management of that dreadful dis ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by him an unusual importance. This letter together with the statement of the Schmith hunily—who while in the Steamer Vir ginia, were 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,alter suffering severely from all the symptons of 'Cholera, finally became collapsed and while in this state, (the doctors stating that he WM: beyond re lief') a friend administered freely,Mishler's Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ; heat was generated in the body, perspira tion was induce(' and after using one bat tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored. Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun teracting the poison which is the cause of the disease. Poison in the syslem,whether generated by bad air, filth, &c., as in Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a venomous snake or mad dog will 'be' ex pelled and all bad syniptons 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, 1565. Mr. B. Mishler—Sir:—Abouteight 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 sizeoindtlie poison appeared to be work ing up my arm. 1 - suffered great pain in my hand and arm; I lied to quit work and was afraid I would be compelled to have my hand amputated. .1 came to you, and by your advice washed my hand 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 the only medicine or application that I made use of. Mr. •Christian Burns, a near neighbor of mine,'went on t• a day or two alter-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— thatyour,Bitters 'cured the bite ore. snake in my case for which'. shall ever be thank ful, as I believe it was the means of saving my hand. . . shall be pleased to personally satisfy any one of the truth of. the above.

WILLIAMS. Eli REITIOVAL EL MULLEN cC BRO Ayer's Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, designed to be the most effectual Alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of Still greater alterative power as to afford an effec tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one-which-will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints : SCROFULA. AND SCROFULOUS UOMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, -ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT-RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS 'AND SYPHILITIC AF FECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, Isino n4LOlA. on. Tie DOULOUILEUX, DEBILITY, DYS PEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE on ST. ANTHONY'S 'FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from ImPURITY OF THE BLOOD. This compound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. Ey the time ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood wh.'never you findits impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even ivherenoparticulnr disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but mith this pabulum of life disordered; there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves 'much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be conrentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else, During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been fraudi upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often-no curative' properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED BY DB. 1. C. AVER & CO. LOWELE, MASS. Price, $1 per Bottlo i Ayer ' s Cherry Pectoral has won for itself such a renown for the cure of every variety of Throat and Lung Complaint, that it is entirely unnecessary for us to recount the evidence of its virtues, wherever it has been em ployed. As it has long been in constant use throughout this section, we need not do more than assure the people its quality is kept up to the best it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
