SWEETNESS
'Tie sweet to hear the rain with pattering feet
Make music on the house-top, and at night,
Hear the low laughter of the wind ; 'tie sweet
To feel a loved one kiss us, soft and light,
The while we feign to be, or seem, asleep;
'Tis very sweet, 'tis strangely sweet, to feel
A warm tear sudden on our clasped handsleap
As a bowed head puts there affection's seal.
'Tis sweet to love, tho' even in despair—
To merge the world In into one's being's life,
And find all joy, all hope, ambition, there'
'Tie sweet to have the whole heart of a wife ;
'Tis sweet to see and hear fair+ children play,
And deem our own the fairest of them all ,
'Tis sweet to watch the gradual dawn of day.
"Es sweet to hear " farewell !" when it is uttered
By one whose low voice trembles—for there be
Some pains that give us pleasure—hearts have
fluttered
With anguish ill it grew to ecstacy; '
'Tis sweet to feel a new hope in the soul
Spring up : 'Tis passing sweet to reap
Pure thoughts from pleasant memories, the sole
Ives that love the wreck's 'bout which they creep.
'Tie fweet to have a heart at perfect ease :
To feel no thorns beneath the smiling flowers ;
To scan a multitude of momories,
' And find no face that turns away from ours.
Ah! would that all were happy as they seem—.
Would that no heart wore hauuted by a pain
Would that there were not any perished dream,
That love could not exist when 'tis in vain '
THE BLANK
HOME--A NEW
YEAR'S STORY
BY C. N. LUCKEI
Here, James,' said 3lr. I 'rner, It is
five o'clock, and no busy body will trouble
us after this hour. Take this, my boy,
and a happy New Year to you, and your
sister and' mother. And James, you
need'nt come down at all to-morrow.—
Don't thank me. Is the shutter heavy ?
Here, let me help you ;' and John Urner
bustled about the shop until everything
was closed and barred ; and after bidding
James good-night, with a light heart the
man of honest soul wended his way.to his
little home.
His little home! Yes, it was a little
home, but in the same manner that his
five-feet-ten framo contained a heart large
enough to fill the universe and dispense
happiness everywhere, the soul of that lit
tle home Was his life, and more than the
gaudiest palace to hibi.
What were the outside movements of
the world to him, save so far as that he
heaved a sigh of sympathy for the distress
ed, and smiled with the happy, when that
little home engrossed his heart, his head,
and hand.
And his heart is honest, and his brain
is thoughtful, and his hand is labor-loving,
or the repose and peace of that little
And now, on New Year's eve, with a
bundle under his arm, he is hastening
(homeward to hide the present from Mary
till morning dawns, when he heard a plain
tire voice at his side, trembling and ner
vous, Charity sir 'P
John Urner's hand is always open in
answer to that appeal, and as he places a
coin within the hand of poverty, he turns
to look upon the beseeching sufferer, and
passes.
Just about Mary's size, poor creature.
Shan't I turn back and ask her if I can't
serve her farther ? Oh, no ! she's gone.
Poor girl. Thank Heaven, in my selfish
vein, site, the little woman of the soft eyes,
will never suffer. Never, at least, while
God spares my health ;' and he swung his
arm as though confident that he• was well
able to protect the gentle, faithful, loving
,creature, who depended upon him for care
and nourishing love.
And how proud John was of her utter
dependence and entire confidence in him,
and how he wondered how he could ever
doubt that she had loved him, when he
looked into her sweet, pensive eye ; and
what a thrill of joy he felt as he pressed
the fond kiss upon her gentle brow, 1. can
not tell you ; but suffice it, John was very,
very happy.
Mary!' he softly said, as he entered
the door.
It was strange ! Mary had always flown
into his arms before he had fairly entered
the house.
Mary !' he spoke again, as he . stopped
at the door of the sitting room.
Still no answer.
He entered the neat little kitchen.—
Mary P he again said.
Silence, dull silence. He sat down.---
The fire was blazing bravely on the hearth.
The table was set, with its neat white
cloth, but no Mary.
I have it,' he muttered, and running
to the,oloset, ~ she has gone to get+ some
thing for our merry New Year. But I
wish the dear, god little woman would
come back. It'll be dark before long.'
He took hold of the irate and heartily
shook the dwindling faggots. The flames
burst forth again, more lively.
Blazer away! It's like my feelings
now.' •
And Urner looked through the mirror
of the past.
It was three years ago. and he had said
to the daughter of his dear friend : Mary,
dear, I love you, truly, honestly, and con
stantly. lam comfortly situated in life,
though not able to offer to you all the al
lurements that a more favored suitor
might. I ask you to take my heart and
hand, and I will do everything in my pow
er to make you happy, so long•as Heaven
shall spare us together. Will you be my
little wife ?'
And her blue eyes gazed up into his,
while her lovely countenance beamed with
a blnsh of truthful modesty, and she an
swered him, I will.'
His heart throbbed with soul-felt love
and gratitude. He pressed a virtuous
kiss upon her brow, and so—they were
married.
He had been so happy ever since, yid
she appeared so, too, till within a day For
two, and now some event, of which he had
no knowledge, appeared to have cast a
slight shadii over her countenance.
He knows that if it were proper he would
have learned from her own lips what had
occurred to cost a ray of gloom firer the
sun of his life. Oh, there was no doubt
here—no room for doubt !
g I wonder if Henry will ever join him
self in wedlock to some dear woman. Ah !
if he knew how happy 1 was, he would not
live the rambling, recklesss life he does !
He is a noble fellow, though, and I wish
him all good fortune. Ah ! what is that ?
A note—and directed to me I suppose
, v,•• •
Isome business letter, and Mary has placed
it on my plate that may get ii immediate
ly on my arrival. Good, careful soul!
Who can it be from ? It's unusual for a
business letter to be directed to my resi
dence.'
He breaks the seal and reads. As he
peruses' the note his face flushes, then
turns pale, and for a moment he sits like a
statue, gazing upon the hand that held the
letter. Ths latter has fallen on the floor.
Great God! spare me ! It cannot be !'
And he strives to reach the missive, but
is unable to move. The note reads thus :
I have gone. God knows that I am
wretched. Do not mourn for me. lam
unworthy your thought or remembrance.
But I love. him, your cousin, and have
gone to share his lot. Pray for the erring,
MARY.'
Gone ' fled ' from the heart that had
almost wors hipped her—the hand that had
constantly been lifted upward in prayer
for her peace and perfect happiness!.
It cannot be !—Oh, no' He rises, goes
up stairs, returns, and falls into the chair.
Her wardrobe was stripped.
4 This is no place for me.' He started
from his chaia and seized his hat.
A knock came at the door.
It is she !—she has returned ! Oh,
Heaven, I thank thee !'
He again fell back and buried his face
within his hands.
'Oh ' can we do anything for you, dear
Mr. Urner
The voice was sweet and plaintive—so
like hers!
James and 1 have called on you be
cause—because'--the light form approach
ed close to his side— , we had a note from
her'—
The wretched man.groaned.
It was a short note; it only said you
had met with an affliction—that we must
come and comfort you, because you loved
us; and I am sure we lova you, do we not,
James ?''
The boy, who had stood with hanging
head and cap in hand, mumbled 'Yes.'
'And so we came to comfort you.' She
passed her tiny arm around his neck.—
'May we not love you? You have been so
good and kind to us and mother ; let us
do something kind for you now."
She spoke so beseechingly, as though
her heart and not her tongue gave utter
ance to her prayer.
John Urner raised his head. The fire
still burned brightly. The table was
there, so neatly arranged by her hands, as
though fate was determined to make his
wound more grievous.
He brushed back his hair, and taking
the tiny girl upon his lap, kissed her.
40h, thank you, thank you,' she said, and
laid her head trustingly upon his breast.
It was so like her, in olden days—days
of brightness gone forever.
'Look up ! There's Heaven and Faith,'
said John Urner's soul to him. 'I will,'
he answered ; and he did.
They went to the table, and little Ellen
brought forth the supper.
There was anguish in his soul. He
tried to appear calm, but he would mechn
ically gaze around,.and" her form was not
there.
A time passed—to him a very, very long
time ; and one night it appeared to him
like Chaistmas again—he was sitting in
that same place with Ellen upon his knee.
There was a knock at the door; and as El
len opened it, he heard a voice :
'Charity, sir !'
He had heard those tones before, but
he could not tell where—and using the
same words.
'Bid her come in, Ellen dear,' he said.
The woman trembled as she spoke. She
uttered : have come a long, long way,
and lam cold and weary. A sinner like
me is always cold and weary. 1 am on
an errand or penitence.' and she advanced
towards him, and stood by him.
left my home—a happy home, and a
good husband, lotig, long ago. (He felt a
thrill of anguish through his whole frame.l
Another person poured evil words into my
ears—one whom my honest husband had
loved and esteemed highly, and I fell. I
have travelled far, to ask him to forgive me,
and let me die at his feet.'
'Mary !, ejaculated John, rising, convul
sively pressing his hand to his forehead.
She fell at his feet.
'Oh, hear me !' she wailed forth, pitious
ly, as her ringlets of glossy auburn leaped
from beneath her hood, as if, in their love
liness, to mock the abject misery of their
carrier, and touched the floor. 'I have
suffered so long—so terribly—pity me.—
.T. know I have wronged you. i know I have
plunged a dagger into your noble heart,
and destroyed your peace forever. I have
journeyed many, many miles to beg your
forgiveness and your blessing, and then to
die.
She ceased for a moment, and he ner
vously grasped the hand of the frail child
who stood by him, looking up into his
face, as though to join her pleadings with
those of the supplicating unfortunate before
him. She spoke again :
'He was so treacherous to you, his best
and confiding friend, lured me from you,
and then deserted me. I have begged my
way here. RlR .. .gannet refuse me.
He still lookid upward.
'This was once my happy home. Here,
a long, long time ago, your arm protected
me—your love nourished me, and I was
happy in doing good. I banished the hap
ry spirit from your hearth-stone ; but I am
miserable and want to die. Will you not
forgive me?'
'Mary!' be ejaculated.
He looked, and before him stood her he
loved so well—his darling wife. On the
chair by his side was the hood and cloak,
and the basket set upon the table.
'Here, dear John,' she said, 'see! here
is a nice pie and cake I have brought from
my friend Hetty's, who insisted upon my
calling for them for our supper, and they
Eire so nice.,
She laid them upon the table.
John stood motionless. Had it been
all a dream, then?
The door opened, and Ellen and James
entered.
'See! dear husband! Here are your
porteges. I insisted upon your joining us,
and my calling for them was what kept me
so late. You did not get anxious, did you,
dear ?
He answered nothing, but pressed a kiss
upon her lips.
It was a happy supper to John Urner,
for the light of his life was there. God
bless them both !
He never realized his dream of the

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1856.
REAITTIFUL TRIBUTE TO A WIFE.-Sir
James Mackintosh, the historian, was mar
ried in early life, before he attained for
tune or fame, to bliss Catherine Stuart, a
young:Scotch lady, distinguished more for
the excellencies of her character than for
her charms. After eight years of a happy
wedded life, during which she became the
mother of three children. She died. A
few days after her death, the bereaved hus
band wrote to a friend, depicting the char
acter of his wife in the following terms :
" I was guided (he observes) in my
choice only by the blind affection of my
youth. I found an intelligent companion
and a tender friend, a prudent monitress,
the most faithful of wives, and a mother as
tender as children ever had the misfortune
to lose. I met a woman, who by the ten
der management of my weaknesses, gradu
ally corrected the most pernicious of them.
She became prudent from affection • and
though of the most generous nature, she
was taught frugality and economy by her
love for me.
• Y' During the most critical period of my
life, she preserved order in my affairs,
from the care of which she relieved me.—
She gently reclaimed me from dissipation;
she propped my weak and irresolute na
ture ; she urged my indolence to all the
exertions that have been useful and cred
itable to me, and she was perpetually at
hand to admonish my heedlessness Or im
providence. To her I owe whatever I am;
to her whatever I shall be. In her solici
tude for my interest she never for a mo
ment forgot my feelings or my character.
Even in her occasional resentment for
which I but too often gave her cause,
(would to God I could recall those mo
ments !) she had no sullenness nor acrimo
ny. Her feelings were warm and impetu
ous ; but she was placible, tender and con
stant. Such was she whom I have lost
when her excellent natural sense was rap
idly improving, after eight years struggle
and distress had bound us fast together,
and moulded our tempers to each other;
when a knowledge of her worth had refined
my youthful love into friendship, and be
fore age had deprived it of much of its or
iginal ardor. I lost her, alas! the choice
of my youth, the partner of my misfortunes,
at a moment when I had the prospect of
her sharing my better days.
A YOUNG MAN'S CHARAOTER.—No
young man who has a just sense of
his own value, will sport with his own char
acter. A watchful regard to his character
in early youth, will be of inconceivable
value to him in all the remaining years of
his life. When tempted to deviate from
strict propriety of deportment, he should
ask himself, Can I afford this ? Can I en
dure hereafter to look back upon this?
It is of amazing worth to a young man
to have a pure mind ; for this is the foun
dation of a pure character. The mind, in
order to be kept pure, must be employed
in topics of thought which are themselves
lovely, chastened and elevating. Thus
the mind hath in its own power the selec
tion of its themes of meditation. If youth
only knew how durable and how dismal is
the injury prod Ned by the indulgence of
degraded thou its ; if they only realized
how frightful were the depravities which a
cherished habit of loose imagination pro
duces on.the soul—they would shun them
as the bite of a serpent. The power of
books to excite the imagination is a fear
lul element of moral death when employed
in the service of vice.
The cultivation of an amiable, elevated,
and glowing heart, alive to all the beau
ties of nature and all the sublimities of
truth, invigorates the intellect, gives the
will independence of the baser passions,
and to the affections that power of ads.
sion to whatever is pure and good a..
grand, which is adapted to lead out the
whole nature of man into those scenes of
action and impression by which its ener
gies may be most appropriately employed,
and by,which its high destination may be
most effectually reached.
The opportunities for exciting these fac
ulties in benevolent and self-denying ef
forts for the welfare of our fellow-men, are
so many that it really is worth while
to live. The heart which is truly evangel
lically benevolent, may luxuriate in an age
like this. The promises of God are inex
pressibiy rich, the main tendencies of things
so manifestly in accordance with them,
the extent of moral influence is so great,
and the effects of its . employment so visi
ble, that whoever aspires after benevolent
action and reaches forth for things that
remain for us, to the true dignity of his
nature, can find free scope for his intellect,
all-inspiring themes for the heart.
STATE TREASURER'S REPORT.—The report of
the State Treasurer, of the finances of the State,
affords tax payers the lung-looked fur consola
tion, that there is some prospect of a reduc
tion of the State debt. We copy the follow
ing paragraphs:
The following named counties paid into the
Treasury their respective qu.Aas of taxes for
the current year, prior to the first of August, and
as authorized by the act of the 20th of April,
1844, they were severally allowed the abate
ment to which the law entitled them, viz : Ad
ams, Allegheny, Beaver, Barks, Bradford,
Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Clarion, Columbia.,
Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware,
Erie, Fayette, Franklin, Green, Juniata,
Lancaster, Lawrence, Lebanon, Lehigh, Lu
zerne, Mercer, Mifflin, Montgomery, Mon
tour, Northampton, Northumberland, Phila
delphia, Schuylkill, Union, Washington, West
moreland, York. The receipts from taxes on
real and personal property, exceed those of
host year, two hundred and ten thousand sev
en hundred and eleven dollars and forty cents.
The amount of abatement paid is correspond
ingly large.
We have arrived at the long and anxiously
desired period in our financial history when
the permananent sources of revenue are equal
to and even greater than all the necessary ex
penditures of the government. With the same
frugality and economy, iu the management of
publie affairs, that have pCoduced this desira
ble result, and a continuance ,of the same
efficient system of revenue, its returns annu
ally augmenting with the constant apprecia
tion of property and extension of business, we
shall realize, at no distant day the consumma
tion so devoutly -wished fur, the gradual but
final extinguishment of our entire State debt.
NEW COUNTERFEIT.—The Village Record
states that a party of men have been travers
ing different parts of Chester county, passing
off a new counterfeit five dollar note, on the
Farmers' Bank of the State of Delaware, and
have succeeded in distributing a great many
many of them. Look out for them.

The next day he sued' him for assault and

A Down-east paper gives the Mame
liquor law a thrust after the following fash
ion. A friend of ours, it says, had arri
late at a hotel, and asked for some spirits.
"Stranger," said the landlord, you for

'We've no spirits here, but we have some
tarnation fine lemonade.'
The lemonade was acceded to, brought
and tasted. The lemonade was half whis.,
key and water.
"This is rather powerful lemonad,"
said our friend.
" Why, yes it is," said the landlord ;
but see, stranger, the weather is hot, and
to keep our lemonade, we are obliged to
make it cruel strong."

SILENT THANKS.—A little boy was
muching a bit of gingerbread; his mother
asked who gave it to him. "Miss Johnson
gave it to me." "And did you thank ber
for it?" inquired the mother. "1-e-s, I
did, but I did'nt tell her so !"

AIiTIFICIA.L TEETH . —.A NEW ILATERLAL
For Plate. The latest and best Invention- of the Age.
Dr. 6 . . WELCHENS would respectfully announce to his pa
trons and the public, that having purchased the right of
this city and county to use Dr. Slayton's Patent
Colored Gutta Percha, he is prepared to furnish,
Sets of TEETH with this material in a manner ( Clans&
far superior to any other now in use. The advatitages are
the ability of making a more pefect fit, and a more natural
sad beautiful job; and the material is vastly more congeni
al and more pleasant to be worn in the mouth than metal.
All who have over bad it applied will have nothing els.—
It is impervious and perfectly indestructible by acids or al
kilies, and cannot be in the least affected by the sail-
va of, or by anything taken Into the mouth. I hate tested
this by putting it into the strongest aqua fortis, with uo
more effect from it than would be from water.
All who wish to try the Outta Perdu Teeth can have a
set put in, and if they do not render perfect satisfaction they
need not take them. Or if they are found not to stand the
test of time, a gold set, of the very best character, will ho
inserted in exchange or the money will be refunded. Call
at the office of Dr. S. Welchem. N 0.34 Kramph's Building 4,
North Queen street, for further information on this subject,
and see specimens of this truly beautiful invention.
Dentists wishing to purchase Office Rights fur the use
of this Patent, in the city or county of Lancaster, can be ac

RIDGWAY FARM AND AGRICULTII. ,
BAL COMPANY.—A Farm within the reach of every
Man. Pennsylvania Land. Twenty-seven thousand
acres of good land have dean purchased, with the inten
tion of giving a Farm of twenty-five Acres fur each share,
payablb by instalments of one dully ;u week.
It is located in the county of Elk, where a junction will
HMI be formed by fur railroads, immediately connecting
it, with its great agricultural and coal reosurces, with Erie,
Dunkirk, Buffalo, Rochester and all the cities on tha Lakes.
Also a road leading directly to N. York, one directly from
this property to Philadelphia and intermediate places, one
directly from this property to Pittsburg, and one directly
from this property connecting with the Western roads,
forming the grandest concentration of railroads upon any
ono spot in Pennsylvania, tending at once to develop its
Immense agricultural and coal resources. The suit lk nut
surpassed iu richness by any its the Stale. It is divi
ded—
I.—lnto farms or shares of tweuty-five Aerer, at the
price of two-hundred dollars, which is payable in instal
monis of one dollar per week.
IL—lnto farms or half shares of twelve and a half acres,
at • the price of SlOO payable, in instalments of two dollars
a month or by the week.
Besides this. there is a valuable saw mill wet the prop
erty, and one hundred and fifty lots in the thriving town
of St. .Mary - s. which the subscribers get.
This originally formed part of a large tract, a great four
th:lt of u Melt tree settled by industrious and educated
Germans, numbering some twenty-five hundred. They se
lected the land-oar account of its agriculture] and mineral
wealth, which alone is au indisputable evidence of the
facts, as they are well known to be superior judges upon
these subjects. They went there some twelve years ago,
and they now have a thriving and beautiful settlement,
which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms. St.
Mary's is the town of the settlement, and is rapidly in
creasing in population. It has hotels as good as any in
the state—fine stores—a college, where the highest brand:,
es of education are taught, both li:erary and musical—saw
mills, grist mills, coach manufactories, and every thing
conceivable to add wealth-and prosperity to the place.—
The land of the company surrounds this town, and all the
improvements, thereby reaping the benefits, and present
ing a splendid opportunity for Battlement. Limestone
abounds. This is both an evidence of - the quality of the
soil and a great fertiliser. At St. Mary's it sells at from
ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt.
The timber is of great value, and consists of Cherry, Ash,
Chesnut, Pine, Oak and Hemlock, all of primeval growth,
of great aim, and towering from eighty to a hundred and
twenty feet high. That which the stockholders do not
want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions
to cut it in a certain time. This Will clear the land, and
bring a largo revenue into the treasury, which will go to
the reduction of the price of the farms.
This explains its agricultural resources. But there is
another consideration of equal, if not greater, importance.
The land is one great Leda coal. Upon this property It is
literally inexhaustible. ily taking a glance at the latest
map, first at this locality, and then over the State, it will
be found to possess the grandest feature of prosperity, im
provement, and almost immediate development: It is su•
perior to any other. It is the only place having the groat
concentration of railroads, by which New York, the Lakes,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg ere at its doors. There is no
coal in New York, and on aceonnt of Its northernly saute.
lion, it possesses the advantages of nearness. This is des•
tined to become the Pottsville of that portion of the State.
The prospect in the tuturo for this place exceeds any that
Pottsville ever had; and there, laud which a few years ago
was selling-at five and ton dollars en acre, when the rail.
road opened Its mines sold for front two to five hundred
dollars an acre. These ere facts. Those who are Ignorant,
let them make inquiry. Improvement is still prow...ming.
So arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the post, and
then what will this land be? It is proper that reason
should give the answer.
The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, of which Om. Bigler
Is President, and which connects this land with the Lakes
and Philadelphia, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, of
which Gov. Johnson is President, conneating this loud
with Pittsburg, are In rapid course) of completion. and up•
on n great extent the locomotives aro running. The rate..
1 lions which suggest themselves upon this subject arm
these—lt takes two hundred weeks to pay for the farms.
They will be distributed when they are half paid for. By
that tints the railroads will ha thibiled. That will be
early enough for all practical purposes. The advantage
of buying It before their completion Is evident. When
that Is done property will gb up one hundred, per cent.—
Speculation in coal would at once run it up to such a
price m would make it Impossible to obtain fur agricultur
al purposes. We now get it without paying the then Im
proved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise.
A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid off at
once, and ready by next Spring, in order that persons who
wish to farm Immediately can do so.
Friends and relatives, as well as those having more Gam
one share Call have their farms together.
An Improvement department will also bo connected
with the company. By this means, In order to accommo
date those who ore unable to give their personal attentiun
to fencing or preparation, or desire to rent their properties
out instead of residing there, arrangements eon be, 1113110 to
place each farm In complete order, so as to be ready for
cultivation. After the farms have been all sold, stock
holders can have manure furnished, houses built and
other work done upon credit, they metering the payment
to the company within a reassemble time, no that a man in
the first place receives a form at the lowest possible price,
and then is afforded every assistance In placing it under
crops. . .
cony 1 LFIS
These embrace the principal features, and an excellent
opportunity is now offeren fir a man to obtain a home for
himself, his wife and children, either at the present or
time to come. Many business men, Mechanics, and work
ingmen upon farms, who save several dollars a month, can,
lip thus uniting together, become freeholders, whilst they
scarcely miss the outlay, and at less expense than the
annual cost of tobacco or the 'nest trilling luxuries. A
saving and purchase of this kind eat nothing, and con
stantly incr....se in value. In ease of sickness or misfor
tune by which he is thrown out of employment, lie has
hotue to go to, where he can always wake a good living
The title is unexceptionably good—one of the oldest ' in
the State, being the Holland Title. Those who desire

Elder J. SvAilw:—Dear Sirr—For more their oue year I
was afflicted with the ague. I made every effort to be re
lieved, but I grew worse, until I used your BITTERS. I
am happy to any, that after Wing several bottles, I was
cured of the ague, and havelenjoyed good health since.—
I had nu ague or dyspepsia aim. August last. I can re
commend your BITTERS se d very good medicine, and per
haps one of the best remedies for the Ague and Dyspepsia,
inasmuch as it purifies and strengthens the stomach, and
gives health and tone to the whole system..
Yours with respect, 1 A. KAUFFMAN
BrunchMa Cured.
I hare been afflicted with sore throat Mr some time,
which was called Bronchitis by phynicians. ..'Chey treated
mu with regular treatment, but still 1 Mudd no relief.—
Your BITTEits was recommended and when I commenced
using it 1 felt my throat getting better; my appetite In
creased, and my food agreed better with um. I was en
couraged to continue with the BITTERS, and now can nay
these ISITTEIIS cured mo. 1 would recommend J.Stamm'a
lIIIVERS to the afflicted, for, I em confident that my sore
throat came from my dikurdered stomach. Ikly advice it,
try it for Bronchitis and Dyspepsia.
Elder J. STAMM ;-I deem it an imperative duty to suffer
log humanity, to recommend the use of your Vegetable
Dyspepsia BITTERS to the public, as an invaluable reme
dy for that sorely distressing and extensively prevalent
disease which Its name indicates. Experience and obser
vation compel me to spook of it lu terms of the hlghbst
commendation. I was myself permanently cured by using
about ti bottles. though my stomach wee so weak that it
would retain nothing. 1 have known some of the most
desperate uud long standing eases to have been cured by
It, and In no instance among the nutuurous cases that have
come within the range of my knowledge, has its use failed
to give immediate, and when persevered in, permanent
relief, I feel no hesitancy in:pronouncing it en infallible
remedy for Dyspepsia. Elder A. H. LUND,
