The members of the Democratic County
Committee will remember the call for a meeting
to-day at tho St. Charles Hotel. A full and
punctual attendance is desired.
TUB PB»»»VLVAKI4 KAIIBOAD AND
THE OHIO ttIVER.
Wc published a few days since a statement of
the receipts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Tor
the month of July last. They amounted to
$307,516 34.. Daring the same month last year
the receipts wore $200,299 87. The inorease
for that month this year over the last, it will be
seen, is $98,216 4i.
This road is now doing more business than
any other line of roads extending from the East
to the West. The New York and Erio and the
Baltimore and Ohio are both beaten this year.
Large quantities of goods are now passing over
this route from New York city to the West and
Southwest. The continued high water in the
Ohio river is ono reason of this increased busi
ness this year; and it is thus ovident that, were
the Ohio navigable all tho year round, the Penn
sylvania road would dlstanoo all competition in
the carrying trade between the Weßt and the
seaboard. It is tho shortest route between Bos
ton, New York and Philadelphia and Bt. Louis,
and all goods going from either of the seaboard
cities we havo named to the central West and
Southwest will take this route whenever the
river is in navigable order ; and when our West
ern railroads ore completed. Thoro is in these
facts every encouragement for pushing forward
the StoubenviUe road and tbe CharUors Valley
road to speedy completion. They will connect
with long linee of Wostorn roads, and will form
the beßt and shortest routos betweon New York
and tbe whole West and Boutbwcst.
But the business done on the Central road
this year shows another fact of importance.
When tho Ohio river Is in a good navigable
stage daring the summer months, our Central
road will be crowded with freights, it is th«
preferred route when tho river Is right. But last
year, and almost every year, during the summer
months, the river is too low for good navigation.
Only a small olsbs of boats can run, and freights
are too high ; and the consequence is that goods
are sent by other roads. Were tho Ohio im
proved, as the oompany now ohartered for that
purpose contemplates, so as to give four and a
half fest of water in the channel all tho year
round, tho Pennsylvania Railroad would bo per
haps the best paying railroad in the country.
Goods could be carried through quioker and
cheaper than by any rival route; and we Bhould
have through our oity the greatest thoroughfare
of trade in the conntry.
Such faots and snob prospects present strong
inducements to improve the Ohio river. It is a
thousand miles long; and with each improve
ment as would keep four and a half feet of wat
er Is its channel the year round, it would te
worth more to the business and oommerce of tho
conntry than any railroad of the same length
would ever be. Uie estimated that six million
dollars would be sufficient to oomplete euoh an
improvement. A railroad of tho same length
would oost six times that sum. Is there not suf
tt olent enoonragement to improve the river? And
is not the Pennsylvania road sufficiently inter
ested in it to snbecribe a million of stook in the
improvement oompany -
There is a line of roads in tho course of con-1
stmotion from New York to Harrisburg* by a
much shorter route than through Philadelphia.
There is no doubt it will soon be completed ; and
then New York freight and travel to the flouth
weßt will all come by this route, if our western
outlets are in good order.
We shall ebon have a direct railroad connec
tion with St. Louis. The Pittsburgh and Steu
benville road is a part of the line, of the same
gauge all the way, and this line, with the Cen
tral from Pitteburgh to Harrisburg, and by the
line mentioned above from thenoe to New York,
will form tbe shortest possible railroad thorough
fare between St. Louis and New York. From
St: Loulb ft railroad is in progress of construc
tion westward. Some seventy miles are com
■ pletod. It is called tho Paoifio railroad; and it
Will undoubtedly yet be extended to the shores
of the Paoifio. It is the central route, in which
more of the States ore interested than in any
other. It seems pretty certain then that Pitts
burgh will yet bo ono of tbe large oities on the
line of tho gront Railroad from New York to San
Francleoo: and the Pennsylvania road will be a
part of the lino.
KtHTOCKV COSOBXSBIOHAL EtKCHONS.—The

Tbo Tenneßßee Senate is “American”
the Douse Democratic. Johnson’s election for
Governor is oertain.
The Snpreme Court of Pennsylvania com
menced a two weeks’ session at Bedford, on Mon
day. Sevoral important oaßes are to be argned
—and opinions given on others orgued in Har
risburg at the late sitting—among others tho
great Erie Railroad Case.
Twojpolicemon, Adams and Roberts, were at
taokod early on Sunday morning, in one of the
suburbs of Philadelphia, by two brothers named
James and John M’Guire, and a man named Mo-
Ginnis; and to protect themselves wore com-
pelled to use their revolvers. John McGuire and
McGinnis wore seriously wounded
Alabama, Bftor all the telegraphic reports, has
chosen a Democratic Governor and a majority of
Congressmen. There is oertainly something tho
matter with the Agents of tho Associated ProBS.
They uniformly report tho suocess of the Know
Nothings for tho first few days—and this could
not always come from chance.
The steamers Ariel and Washington, whioh
sailed from New York on Saturday, took out to
gether $873,563 01, making an aggregate from
the Ist of January to dato of $20,887,784. This
export of specie for the week was more than
counterbalanced by the reeeipts from California,
whioh foot up nearly two millions.
A heavy robbery was perpetrated at Cape May
on Saturday morning. The- room of Mr. M.
Cody, at the United States Hotel, was entered
daring hie abeenoe, and hie trunks plundered of
muoh valuable property. Among the articles
stolen were a diamond breast-pin, valued at
$BOO, a diamoud bracelet, two checks for $3OOO
each, on the Bank of Amerioa, Sew York, drawn
to the ordor of Mr. Cody, and s‘3oo in fifties, of
the Bank of America, New York. This is one of
the heaviest robberies ever perpetrated at a
pleasure resort. Oae at Saratoga a fow days
before about equalled it.
A few weeks since, several llvea were lost by
the falling of the brick walls of Urban’s Safe
Factory, on Pearl street, Cincinnati. The rub
bish since then had mostly been cleared away,
but the iron pillars whioh supported the first
story, from some accountable cause, were al
lowed to remain. Saturday afternoon last, eomo
of the laborers wero engaged in the cellars,
when the pillars feel with a tremendous crash,
ono of them striking a workman, named Patrick
Devan, upon tho head, mashing his skull and
scattering his brains in every direction, his
more fortunate companions escaping uninjured.
The deceased has left a widow and eight chil
dren, totally unprovided for, to mourn his loss.
The Corcncr’s jury, in their verdiot, found that
«■ the cause of the death of said Patrick Davan,
was tho negligence of Charles Urban, in not
having the columns taken down long ago. That
he put tho ignorant laborers to work in the cel
lar, though he cautioned them not to touch the
front, whoro the said columns were, until they
should be taken down, but they went to work
in spito of said oaution at removing the joist
which threw said columns down and killed the

THE SEWS
WHAT THEY DID TIIKIIK
At the meeting of tho Whig Committee yesler
day, it Trill be seen by the resolutions, nn at
tempt was made to throw the blame of “no fu
sion" on a Democratic paper. It was “well
known that no fusion was offered by the YYhigs
to tho Democrats except on terms that coaid not
bo nccoptod. Tho Gazelle, tho organ of what
remained of tho Whig party, demanded of ns a
Surrender of principles that every Democrat
would refuse to make. It required that tho
whole Democratic party should become Frco
Boilers. But, while disliking slavery, we choose
to have or.e national party : one party that la in
f&Yor of Ihc Union.
It is well known that the editor of the Gatetir
has all along labored lu get up this Republican
party, and ho made tho proposal to the l>emo*
orate that he knew could not be accepted for the
▼cry purpose of parading the refusal as a rea
son for carrying all the Whigs over to tho Re*
publican party, wbiofa it id well known is to bo tho
anti-slavery party. We think some of the Whigs
will understand this scheme; and will not be
humbugged bo oaoily as its authors expect
A Notice of Iloon.ssi>’B Bittebs
to invito tho attention of suffereilß from Jyepepsia
to an article like Hoofland’s Bitters, a medicine
that has given relief to hundrode for this truly
distressing oomplaint. Wo do not speak from
personal experience, bat we bear it from onr
readers that a great many of them have been
greatly relieved by this very pleaeant remedy,
A littlo over six months ago the proprietor, Dr.
C. M. Jackson, of Philadelphia, favored ns with
an advertisement to which we refer onr readers
for a brief history of its enratlve powers, with
the assuranoo, if one can jodge from statements
made, that Hoofland’s Bitters arc well adapted
to ouro those numerous and painful affections of
the stomnoh arising from indigestion. To those of
our friends who may be troublod in this way, wo
would say try the Bitters, It will give you an ap
petite for your food, and etomaoh to digest it,
and oonvert it into healthy nourishment after it
lls eaten. We aro not very favorablo to giving
notioes of eo called nostrums, but lloofland's
Bitters art no nostrum If you want to try them,
you can buy them at Dr. Keyßer’s, 140 Wood
street.
Commerce or Erie. —Daring the week ending
August 7th, the clearances of vessels at the port
of Erie, Pa., wore 43, of which 2 were brigs, and
the rest schooners. Of these, no lees than 30
were bound for Balfalo, 1 for Ogdcnsbnrg, 1 for
Tonawanda, 1 for Toledo, 3 for Chicago, 1 for
Mackinaw, 1 for Fremont, 3 for Toronto, and 1
for St. Catharines, Canada. These vessels were
laden with 6,340 tons of coal, 002,000 feet of
lumber, 07,000 staves, 260,000 shingles, 17 tone
hoe and shovel handles, 360 cords hemlock
bark, and various other articles of Amerionn
produce.
It will be seen by the following commu
nication in this papor that Mr. Ilawkinß deolines
a nomination on our oounty tioket *.
Antbrbtoy, August 11, 1865.
Editors of Pott:— l see by several of thpeity
papers that some hind friend has suggested mo
as a suitable oandidate for County Commission
er. Will you oblige me by stating in your next
paper that I respeo'.folly decline a nomination to
that or any other offioo in the gift of the peoplo.
Trusting that the approaohing Convention will
seleot such a tioket as will oommond itself to tho,
approval of a largo majority of the peoplo of
oounty, I will bo found at the polls battling as
a privato, in the ranks of that party to whioh 1
have been attaohed for forty years and upwards,
and to which it ißjny pride as it is my pleasure
to belong. ' Wm. Q. Hawkish.

As he was passing along tho street, very early
one morning he saw a man apparently in great
distress by the sido of the way. The minister
went to him, not dreaming the man was intoxi

him up, whioh ho did; when he perceived the
strong smell of liquor on him, it was too late to
retreat. The man olasped him fast, and the
ministor pilotod him some distanoe along the
street, speaking kindly to him. After some
words of expostulation more earnest than usual,
the man stopped, looked the minister in the faoe,

More Outrages.— Go Friday night a German
quietly passing down Jefferson street was as
saulted at the corner of Seventh and terribly
beaten. His skull is so fractured as to oause
internal bleeding and he must die. His assail
ants were three men employed in Miller, Win
gate •& Co.’s Agricultural Works. They are in
jail. :
Tho same night Barney Deal attacked and
knooked down Mr. R. Skene, a very respootable
gentleman. Barney wsb drunk and mistook Mr.
1. for a Sag Nioht.
Yostorday evening an Irishman was knocked
down on First street. But tbeße outrages are of
such oommon occurrenco, that it is scaroely
worth while to note them.
The Pulpit and the Riots —Several of our
clergymen made allusion to the terrible riots of
last weak in their sermons yesterday. Dr. Hum
phrey preaohed an ablo discussion on the sub
ject in tho Second Presbyterian Church, re
bukirg tho unchristian spirit manifested. In
the Cathedral, Bishop Spalding delivered a very
etlectivo disoourse, referring to the riots, llis
eormon was characterized by humility of spirit
and truo Christian forbearance, inculcating tho
duty of submission upon his numerous hearers.
Tho Courier also relates some further inci
dents and particulars of the riot. It says:
Young Long, son of the proprietor of the gro
cery store corner of Eleventh and Main stjeets,
that was burned, states that half an hour previ-
ous to a shot being fired in that scotiou of the
city, a friend of his, who is a membor of the
Know Nothing order, approached him and urged
his leaving the store of his father. lie said that
at night an attaok would bo certainly made ;
that it was arranged to fire that blook and shoot
the inmates who dared escapo. In accordance
with this advise, Long removed his father and
mother to a place of safety. Ho thon returned
to the store, whore his two brothers were, and
before they oould escape tbo attaok was made,
la escaping himself, he roocived thirteen bullet
woundi, and is now confined, dangerously ill,
from their etfeota. His two brothers were una
ble to leave, and were actually aonsumod in the
ernfiagration.
An Irishman residing in the same block at
tempted to leave, but was shot and driven back.
Again he attempted to reach the street and was
driven back, reociving several Shots. Woak and
faint, bo crawled out the back way, rcaohed tho
poper-mill yard, and finding a hole in the sand
bank, lay thero all night, his wounds bleeding
all the while.
A proposition is before the Council concerning
the property destroyed by the mob of Monday.
The city is unquestionably responsible for alt tho
acts of tho infuriated populace that It neglected
to reason and force out of its madness. Tho
authorities cannot excuso themselves, and the
treasury is bound to bleed.
Efforts havo been made to proouro some au
thentic evidence as to the origin of Monday’s
riots, but tho foar of violcnoe, whioh yet prevails
among eomo of our moat respectable citizens,
both native and foreign born, deters many from
permitting their names to be made public. Tho
truth, however, will soon bo placed beforo the
public, oven though the proper authorities make
no efforts to Investigate the matter or to bring
tho guilty parties to justice
The Courier says that tho name of an unim
peachable witness can be given who will prove
that one of tho mob carried a pitchfork, and that
he thrust it into the body of an l
nstead of being arrested for it tho Irishman was
arrested and thrust into jail
Alcohol l» Food
A writer in tho last Westminster Review hes
met the physiological, question involved in Ike
use of alcohol as a drink, with rare learning
and force of logic. “ Forco is the end and aim
of food. Tho exertion of force wastes tho ma
terial fabric ; with every thought wo think, with
every muscle wc move, a particle of our fabric
is consumed, or a particle of our fuei is burned.
Oryg.-u is the great agent in this desfruotion of
tissue nnd fool, a destruction which is a culmi
nation. Life lUtnes into activity, and expires in
tho act. '■ The writer goes on ;
•• IVo have seen that oxygen is tho great vital
ising destroyer of tissue. Its voracity is irre
sistible. Food it must and will have. If there
be no fuel in tho grate it burns the grate. ‘ The
amount or nourishment required by an animal
for its eupport must be Id direct ritio with the
quantity of cxygen taken iulo tho system.'
(Liebig) But, under tho tern) nourishment,
our readers have loomed to include alcohol,
which nourishes n« fuel. ‘Of ull respiratory mat
ters, alcohol aots most rapidly,’ saya Liebig ; and
in this rapidity there is groat virtue, for starch,
very good in itself, requires same hours beforo
it becomes selub’.o in the alimentary canal of
the bread cater, so os to enter tho blood, and
there servo tbo purposes of respiration.
Both starch and alcohol tiro burned, and in
burning throw out force ; but when tho demand
for forco is nrgent, tho food which most rapidly
oroates it is tho most valuable. Lehmann cau
lions ns, in estimating the nutritive value of an
aliment, not to be guide J solely by Its climontary
composition, but also by its digestibility, which
thus becomes one factor in tho Bum. Now tho
—We like
digestibitUy of alcohol iso to speak) surpasses
that of any othor aliment: it requires lesa
elaboration to fit it for its ultimate purpose,
namely, tho translation into nervous force.
■ Alcohol stands high ns a respiratory materi
al. Its use enables us to dispense with starch
and sugar in our food.' (Liebig) Is more
wanted to show that nloohol is food ? Arc not all
physiologists agreed In considering respiratory
materials ns food ? But wo can show that aloo
hol is not only food in this sense, but also in tho
sense of supplying tho place of other kinds of
food, if you don’t drink alcohol, yon must
supply its plaoo with more bread, or pudding.
Liebig tOllB iis how tomperanoe families, de
priving their servants of beer, gave them com
pensation in money; but tboy soon found that
the monthly consumption of bread increased so
strikingly, that tho beer was twice paid for—onoe
In rnonoy, and a second time in broad.
The same authority relates tho experience of
tho landlord at the Hotel do Russie, in Frank
fort, whore tho poaco congress was held ; tho
members of this congress were mostly teototlers,
and a regular deficiency was observod ovory day
in oertahi dishes, especially farinaceous dishes,
puddings, &o.; so unheard of a defioienoy in
an establishment whore, for years, the amount
of dishes for a glvon number of persons had so
well been known, exoitod tho landlord's aston
ishment, tho toetotelers made up in puddings
what they neglected in wine. ’’
The writer goes further than this, aud contends
that nloohol not only savos the consumption of
tissue, but that it has a positive valuo as a nu
triment of force.
l)enrvei all ho Oeti.
A ootomporary who is well postod up on satin
and statistics, gives it to “our wives and
daughters” right Bharp for their extravagance.
Tho femininea dosorve all the oenauro bestowed
upon them by tho writer, but wo disclaim any
sympathy for.Brooha. He is a poor miserable
dolt, a silly fly rushing into a spider’s net with
his eyes wide open, and deserves all ho gets—
and more, if possible. Wo repeat, wo have no
sympathy for men of Brooha’s class, who allow
their souls to bo worried out of them by ambi
tious wives and silly daughters, however Mrs.
8., Blauobe and Sarah aro to ho condomnod.
But hero aro the satirioal rogue’s remarks:
a while the business men of America pro*
verbially live poorer, drees shabbier, work hard- 1
or, and many more hours, than in any othor '
po’untry in the world, thoir wivoe and daughters
are ten times more idle, more extravagant and
more useless. Mr. Brooha, of the houßO of
tlrooha, Buokram & Co., toils from twelve to six
teen hours per day. Broohn laßt year made
$22,000. What booame of it? Ton thousand
dollars of the same were spent by Mrs. Brooha,
for new furniture, “to spite the Maxwells,”
while a large portion of the balance was ex
pended on “ Blanobo and Sarah,” so that they
might go to Nowport and “show the Fantad
lings” that there were other diamonds in
New York besides those whioh were inherited
from a great grandfather, who fonnd In India a
prinoely fortune and a diseased liver. Brooha
had been in business sinoo 1840. Ho does a
large Bnd lucrative business. People who have
never been in his parlor and kitchen imagine
that Brooha is worth a quarter of a million of
dollars, while those who have been in, wonder
how he dodges the sheriff. Brooha is still toil-!
ing and is still making money, and yet if he
should die to-morrow, it is questionable whether
his assets would equal bis liabilities. Brooha
will probably end bis days by testing the virtue
of a shilling’s worth of etryohnine. Should wo
be one of the jurors who sit upon the body, we
fehouli bring in the following verdict— 11 died
from the visitation of an extravagant wife and
|WO senseless daughters.”

Henry Ward Bceclieronbli Farm.
(Prom the Independent]
Lenox, July 2S, 1855.
What a world of things one. has to look after
when ho first reaches the country and the fartn 1
First in order, of oonrse, is the crop of children—
tojnbling, tumultuous, climbing, kissing, talking,
and eager to pull you a dozen different ways.
They are all tanned brown as achosnut. AUare
plump, ruddy and hearty. One bas had his
curls cut off; another is rigged in farm-boy
style, and the younger ones have their catalogues
of mishaps to rehearse —tho finger cut, the toe
stubbed, the loss of a pet goat, tho acquisition of
a Newfoundland bupy, whioh is agreed to bo the
most extraordinary and amusing of all little fat,
blnofe puppies. ... , , ,
We eally forth, a long train of boys and girls
following and pointing ont tbo marvels. First
wo look aftor the graaB —thlok, sncoulcnt, “green
as grass, " and quite temptiDg. 000 Is almost
disposed to lie down and roll, and then to take
a bito, just to Bee what kind of faro tho Baby
lonish King must have had. Bravest of all
grasses is tho Indian Coro, it is now about
three foot high, and waving its blade to every
wind with tho most graceful, movements. It
has had the laßt booing; it is “ laid by.
Nothing now remains for it bnt to go forward, as
all its fathers have douo, grow, top out, then
tassel out, then shake its top dnst down upon
its silken tassel, then fill up the plump kornels,
at whioh point, in respeot to the Bweet corn, wo
shall step in and relievo tho stock of any farther
oaro of tbo delclous ear, transferring it to tho
pot, tho platter, tho plate and elsewhere. Tbo
held corn most go on and nnrso Its chargo,
swaddled in juioy husks, until the cob la armed
with gold or silver grains, and tho shrinking and
withered husks lets out the tops of the shiny oars.
Wo walk along the rows of potatoes, admiring
the clusters of blossoms, and tho wisdom of na
ture whioh ordained a raco of Irish, especially
to oat snob tastoless things. Potatoos, rico,
tho white of eggs, baker'e bread, and cotton
wool, are food whose flavor is to be.apprehonded
by faith. .
Next we look after the oats, the most graceful
of email grains ; then after tho wheat, and tho
barley. (Take note, wo feod tho barley to tho
stock, not to tho brewers.) We walk through
tho purple an t pink blossoming olover, through
the heads grass, down into the pastures, to look
oflcrtbooow and yearlings. Tho kind andgrasa
breathed oroatures know that we aro Btrangers.
They pause with an unobowed mouthful, and look
fall faced at us, and reach forth their muzzles
to smoll out who we are. By a little coaxing
wo make our peace, and are allowed to pat their
aides and caress them.
The barns next must bo inspected ; the empty
mows, tho Btablea, tho yard, and, above all tho
tho groat barn-floor, which is to bo bedded with
fresh hay, and then receive our body for many
an hoar this summer. Far, through the south
1 door comes np the picture of ecarped mountains,
and groen hills, and treo oovered knobs, and the
pale bine of distant mountains, and near fields
full of elm and ash trees, and the lake, cut into
I three parts by tho trees whioh lino its edge, bo
j that it looks like three pet pools instead ol n
one-mile long lake.
Tho hens ate not to bs neglected. Wo have
no pure bloods except tho Boston Greys. Tho
Shanghais have been abridged and improved.
Our common barn-yards and the Shanghaio have
been rolled into ono, and both have profited by
tho junction. Tho old fashioned hens have gain
ed in aize, and in all motherly qualities. The
Shanghai has been ted to sco the error of rump
lessness and yard long legs. After converting
some inches into tail feathers, ho has become n
well dressed and most respectable creature.
A pair of turkeys bavo madetheir appearance
here. Nino eggs havo resulted. Nolly, tho
maid of tho dairy and of the yard ; has
plucked away the eggs as soon as they were
born, and to-morrow a broad-breasted hen, who
for tho last week has been diligently ititmn
upon an empty nest, is to take charge of these
shells charged with turkeys. Wc—that is the
ohildrcn bring in from fifteen to twenty firo eggs
• day, fresb, warm, white ’. Tho city grocers
may peddle their obsoleto eggs to whom they
will, bnt not us, whose benery is vocal every
hour with new achievements, and whoso pantry
is rich in dishes rounded np with globes of
whito, whioh como and go with daily fluctuation.
Tho oU rooster is quite dilapidated. He is now
put upon a pension and turned out at the coop.
His feathers arc ragged, bis head ecarred ond
battered, his tail is ragged and thin. Ho walks
about with a subdued and serious air, as ono
who reflects upon the vanity of life. Ho utters
no mas",cal call as ho picks up his seeds and mor
sels. Crowing Is a post glory with him. All
bis past services aro forgotten. His wires aro
given to others, and tbo poor Mormon patriarch
wanders' about tho very pauper of tho barn :
Although ho walks up and down in tight of
youthful roosters, not one of them takes tho
| lesson to heart, or rclleots npon his own destiny.
The Boston Grey is careless; tho Bantam is
tleroo and fiery ; and the amalgamation Shang
hai towers np in perpendicular pride and prow
css, as if be felt immortal blood within his heart.
Wo have no geese. We aro going soon to hare
some docks, The pigooua are increasing pro
digiously. What an air of state and abundance
it gives to a plaos to havo half a hundred pigeons
flapping through tho air, sweeping in long cir
cles through the trees, cooing on tho roof top,
and soiling everything that com*a near tho roost!
We had almost forgotten tho pigs. Thoy aro
multitudinous and comely, and when they con
sider themssivos neglected they aro able to make
their dellioato notes of expostulation hoard and
heeded.
And now, when this loDg and sultry wet
woathcr shall bavo oleared up, and wo have tho
peculiar Lenox air, tho hills and mountains, Wo
shall bo preparod for tho chronicling of other
oveuts.

u 1 have made a chemical examination of “ Rhodes* Fever
and Ague Core,** or u Antidote to Malaria,” and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have
not found a particle of either In it, nor have I found any

EVIDENCE OF MERIT.
« Lewisotbo, Union County, May 2,1855.
Mr. J.A*Rhodt*—Ttiax Sir: The box of medicine you
sent me was duly received on the 11th of April. I have
sold about one-half of it, and eo far the people who have
used it are satisfied that it has cured them. It has certain
ly slopped the Ague in every one who.has used it, and six
of the cases were of long standing. My sister, who has
had It for five or six years back, and could never get it
stopped, except by Quinine, and that only es long as fho
would take it, is now, I think, entirely cured by jour rem-
C. It. SIcGINLY.”
CAUTION TO AG UK SUFFERERS.
Take no moro Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine, Strychnine, or
AnttPeriodlda, or medicines of any klcd, the virtue of
vhich Is owing to each poisonous drugs. The most they
cen do is to M break the chills n for a short time, while they
are sure to cause constitutional maladies that cease only
with life. Remember that the only Fever and. Ague reme
