Old Job Dundee was at one time one of
the most popular darkies in our city, lie
was a kind of a patriarch among the color-'
eil population, and universally liked by
the white folks. About the time that he
stood a' the head of New street church,
lie was subpoenaed before Squire (now
Judge) Wiseman, to testify to the cintrac
tru of a negro who was charged with petty
larceny.
'Well, Job." said the Squire, 'what do
you know of the character of the defen
dant ?'
•Well, 1 knows considerable 'bout de
colored individual, ami 1 neber tin's him
guilty of only one 'fence,* replied Job,

bigoted, a colored ptisson must know too
much for one niggar, and not enough for

his own stoop. Placing htmself in a
military attitude, with his sword drawn,
he exclaimed •Attention the whole!
Rear rank, three paces, march !' and he
tumbled down the cellar.
His wife hearing tin- noise, occasioned
by falling, came running out and asked—
• My dear, have you killed yourself!'
♦Go into tho house, woman,* said the

My Yegflable Aiiti-Dysj pp.sia Bitters.
This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its
very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been com
pletely cured by it within the last year, which have
been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi
cians. We do not recommend kto cure everything—we
recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the d.s'eases origi
nating from it, and that it will cure in almost every rase,
and it is recommended for nothing else. In many 111-
staiK-es, even the worst of cases have been completely i
cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat
upon the constitution of tin- path-nt. We would sat o
all who are articled with Dyspepsia, give this medicine
a fair tria,, aird if u talis to do good. owr neviiey will be

almost every child will be fon.l of it, and manv instances
have been known of . bildren crying for more aJ'icr once
taking it.
Ttofs medicine is in the form eff a powder, tke only
medicine ever used in thai form, and it operates on a
principle entirely different from any other medicine ever
administered by any other physi. ian It is the onlv
medicine u iiicti lias no Worm-seed Ifil or Turpentine '
combined with it, which is believed by ail other pliysi
-1 ciai.s, to be the only two things which witt destroy
worms, and these two tilings combined. togeth"r with
castor oil. ere the active principles of all other worm
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
smelted, knows to be the most nauseous of all nauseous
medicines, and on account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do this, it must be something stronger than the
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
oui" of ii medicinal properties. These powders are
simple and so harmless, that a cluld may eat a whole box
at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time,
the principle 1151011 which it acts being different from any
thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms
with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy
the seat worms, or A sea rides, and long, round worms, or
Teree, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
tion of tlie Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have
brought as many as i IV I. Tape l\ onus from one person.

Deb Sntlmmediately on tlie receipt of vourCiir.it
nv PtXTORAt., I carried a bottle to an acquaintance of
mine who was thought to be near his end with quick
consumption. He was unable to rise from his bed, and
was extremely feeble. His friends believed he must
soon die, unless relief could be obtained for him, and I
induced ihem to give your excellent medicine a trial I
immediately left town for three weeks, and you may
judge of my surprise on my return, to meet him in the
street on my way home from the cars, and find lie had I
entirely recovered. Four weeks from the day he com
menced taking your medicine, he was at work at his
arduous trade of a blacksmith.
There are other cases within my knowtdedgc, where
the CHKHHV PECTORAL has been singularly successful,
but none so marked as this. Very truly yours

to render me quite unfit for the traneai tion of any kind

and using their prescriptions, and after using the tuost
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to
my rase, I always failed to hare permanent relief. A
I friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Bitters. 1 have used one bottle, and
this- day commenced the second. I can with cheerful
