Cotton a Cosmopolite.
afce career of cotton is shining brighter
- anc ) brighter Unto the perfect day. It is be
coming universal in its spirit, tolerant of all
nations and creeds. It no longer rales su
preme in our Southern States; ii no longer
holds withmlbe hollow of its hand the power
to create a great cotton famine like that of
Lancashire, and to snatch from thousands
upon thousands of hands and mouths
the necessaries of life. 1“ tlle
-cotton trade between this country and
Great Britain "was at' its highest flow.
Speculators had full swing then, and
speculated accordingly. More than half a
million operatives in the manufacturing dis
tricts of England earned enough to maintain
themselves in neat and comfortable homes.
Two and a half millions of bales of cotton
•were imported in one year, and at least
four-fifths of these were the produce of the
South. At the end of 1862, a half a mil
lion of English operatives were crying for
j-elief. Within the past year that number
has decreased to less than two hundred
thousand, and at the same time, whilst the
American supply has collapsed, other por
tions of the world have added forty per cent,
to their customary contributions. Whilst
the weekly consumption of cotton in Eng
land in 18G3 was one-half of the average rate
in 18G1, the supply of cotton there in 1864 is
expected to rise ftom half its old standard
to at least three-quarters. The kingdom
down South, of which cotton was lately
king, has shared the fate of other kingdoms.
It has been broken up into smaller princi
palities and powers, and these have been
scattered here and there over the face of the
World. ,
Not very long ago, a report was presented
-to the Italian Government on the cultivation
of the cotton plant in Southern Italy. It
appears that during the past year eighty
thousand bales were grown in the latter,
including Sicily, and that this amount would'
have been trebled had it not been for the
extensive droughts. No sea-island cotton
.was produced, but the quality of that which
was cultivated was very good, and yielded
a profit to the cultivator of twenty pounds
per acre. Central and South Italy are
represented as favorable to the cultivation of
cotton, and it has been estimated that from
the latter five hundred and filly thousand
hales could annually be sent. Cotton culti
vation has extended as far north as Tus
cany, and it is known that in the Napoleonic
wars, and during the Continental blockade,
Italy supplied all Europe with the article.
In July, 1861, the Governor General of
India ordered a digest of the correspond
ence oa cotton cultivation in each presi
dency. The response of the Madras Go
vernment is a resume of the proceedings of
the superintendent of the cotton-farms esta
blished there by the court. Certain Ame
rican overseers were engaged, for the pur
pose of introducing improvements in cot
ton. Although it does not appear, from
the report, that indigenous Indian cotton
will soon compete with the cotton once so
munificently produced in the teeming
South, yet the question occurs, Cannot the j
•quality be very greatly bettered, since there
Is a wide difference between the wild and j
the cultivated shrub ? From Granada, Nica- j
ragua, again, are sent samples of bull-color
ed cotton, which is said to be capable of
thriving in colder climates than the white
variety, and which is employed by the
natives in the manufacture of coarse cloth.
Cotton is likewise rearing its audacious
head in the valley of the Sinaloa, Mexico.
The soil and climate are claimed as being
unequalled. Some California enterprisers
have leased several hundred acres near the
Presidio; have engaged a superintendent of
large experience, and have imported the
necessary farming utensils. Once in Mexico,
it is not difficult to imagine one’s self in
Peru, but, of course, cotton is in Peru be
fore you. We are told that much attention
is being paid to it there, and that one mil
lion six hundred and eighty thousand pounds
of cotton weTe last year exported through
Peruvian ports of the Pacific. It is esti
mated that of the latest crop over four mil
lion pounds will be exported, and that this
amount will be doubled during the present
year. Peruvian facilities for the manufac
ture of cotton are represented to he so great,
that with the advance of time, and with {fie
creation of means of intercourse with her
eastern ports, it is thought that Peru alone
might become the cotton market of Europe.
California enterprise is not confined to
Mexico. Capitalists there are casting wist
ful glances at the South Pacific Islands, and
are intent on growing cotton as well as su
gar in them. Not long ago a vessel sailed
from San Francisco for Tahiti. She was
laden with all the necessities for a company
engaged in the cultivation of cotton. The
Mauds in the neighborhood of New Caledo
nia aTe expected to yield natives in abun
dance, so that there will be no lack of la
bor. We can say of cotton, indeed, the
“lung is dead; long live the king.” The
sceptre of the South is broken, and the
fragments, scattered over the earth, have
magically budded forth. 1 ime will deve
lope what only time can—the unthought-of
resources of this wonderful world, and espe
cially in relation to cotton.
LITTER FROM “ OCCASIOSIL.”
Washington, Feb. 5,1854,
lletween the spring and the autumn of
this quadrennial Presidential year many
grave and important matters must be per
manently disposed of. Within this com
paratively short space of time the question
of the next Presidency, and the last great
struggle between Freedom and Slavery, on
the battle-field, will be decided. The oppo
sition to the Government and the war, com
posed, in nearly every ease, of the men who
helped the Sonth to precipitate the rebel
lion, are not unmindful of these facts.
Utterly indifferent to the troubles and
responsibilities of the Executive, and too
often politically interested in the defeat of
our armies, they are preparing to seize upon
every expedient to alarm and divide the
people. Hence, a few financial failures, or
a few defeats of our armies and our navies,
will prove to be a rare God-send to these
selfish and dangerous men. For, clamor as
these Copperhead leaders may of their su
perfine loyalty, is it not beyond successful
denial—is it not every day proved, that they
are always despondent and defeated when
the Government is successfully conducted,
and when the Union arms are triumphant f
Sometimes, as I observe the tricks and in
trigues of these men, fin no one instance
has any one oftheir number risen to the
dignity of a statesman-like remedy, or
boldly discarded the unworthy acts of the
blindest partisanship ), J ask‘myself how
they would have managed tie war had its
dreadful responsibilities first fallen upon
IheiT shoulders ? But to ask such a ques
tion isto answer it with terrible emphasis.
T3ven if we had not their recent and present
acts and admissions to sustain the charge
that they would have surrendered to
r slavery the whole heritage of freedom,
the fact that they were always committed
against coercion, and that they all sustained
Buchanan in his infamous argument, in his
last message, that, while Secession was ail
wrong, the Government had no. power to
prevept a State from tearing itself loose
from Federal authority—this fact establishes
as well their consistency in opposing the
- Government and in laboring for a peace on
any terms. The men who, in 1861,
were so willing to let the seceded Stateß
go out and remain out of the Union,
are laboring to the same end in 1864,
when they harass and hamper the Admi
nistration in its efforts to bring these
States back to duty. It is quite true that
'they profess to be in favor of wbat they call
■Restoration on the basis of the Union as it
was and the Constitution as it is; but you
Cannot be blind to the truth that this pro
posal looks more to the forgiveness of the
rebel leaders, and to the revival of rebel
supremacy, than to the vindication and
protection of the radical Union men of
the Southern- States. It is necessary
ihat this assertion should be confirmed by
recalling to your recollection their bitter
hatred of these brave and indomitable
patriots ? We daily realize their malignity
against Northern Democrats like Butler,
Dickinson, Brady, Dougherty, Tod, Brough,
Conness, and others. But their feeling
against Southern anti-slavery men is, if
possible, more intense and implacable.
■Witness their abuse of Andrew Johnson,
W. G. Brownlow, Colonel Montgomery,
Hon. Wm. Gantt, Governor A. J. Hamil
ton, Flanders and Hahn, of Louisiana, and
their associates. The Union is not
to be. restored, the seceded States are
not to be brought back, to serve these
gallant champions of liberty, but to make
them outlaws, and to give the reins again
into the hands of their oppressors. The
period between May and November of this
Presidential year will,, therefore, be the
period in which all these experiments and
doctrines will be tried and enunciated. So
that the true friends of the country, fully
forewarned, must be completely forearmed.
Let the new levies be raised and sent to the
field at the earliest moment, and we shall
find the comiDg spring blooming with
Union victories. Let us avoid local
quarrels about men who think only of
self. Let us discuss the great principles
upon which our cause rests as upon a rock,
and make them so clear that all good men
must yield to them. Let us show how
splendidly the much-assailed policy of Mr.
Lincoln and the Union Congress has been
vindicated by practical results. This is the
year in which the majority of the members
of the Congress that comes in with the new
President in 1665 is to be chosen. What
more need I say to point out the dangers and
the duties that are in waiting for ua in the
rapid and thick-coming future ?
WASHINGTON.
Wabhixotoh, D. 0., Feb. 5,
Congressional.
The Committee on Public Expenditure! voted thia
morning to ask leave of the Houae to go to New
York to investigate the euatom-houae frauds. The
Committee on Military AS'aira in the Houae will
probably agree to exempt Quakers. The Commit
tee on Waya and Means haa agreed to the Senate
bill in creasing the pay of inspector* of customs one
dollar per day. Mr. Chase recommends the mea
sure.
The Seleot Committee on Emigration is maturing
a very important bill to encourage emigration. la
digent emigrants win receive pecuniary aid.

Lieutenant General.
At a special meeting to-day the Senate Military
Committee, to consider the House bill conferring
the rank of Lieutenant General upon Gbawt, de
cided to report the bill without amendment. It 1s
understood that some opposition will be made to it
when it comes before the Senate. The Ways and
Means Committee this morning] agreed to the Se
nate bill increasing the pay of inspectors of customs
one dollar per day. It will be reported at once for
action by the House. The House Military Commit
tee to-day determined to continue the consideration
of the conscription bill to the exclusion of all other
business. They also settled an important question
respecting private property destroyed by order of
the Government for military purposes. They do not
think it expedient to appropriate public money for
the payment of such claims. The amended tax bill
was referred to the Ways and Means Committee to
day, and.it is to be considered on Monday. It ie ques
tionable whether they will adopt the Senate amend
ments. The Custom-house Investigation Commits
tee to-day decided to ask permission of the House to
proceed to New York to prosecute their investiga
tions there. Their request will be granted. The
House Select Committee will soon report a bill to
encourage immigration, which will hold out large pe
cuniary inducements to that end.
Virginia Legislature.
It is said the Legislature, in session in Alexan
dria, will take no action in reference to the collec
tion of State taxes for the years 1861-3, and ’63, and
therefore the collection of the same will be enforced,
and for that reason the rate of tax on real and per
sonal estate for 1864 was fixed at only five cents on
the hundred dollars. The tax on slaves, as was sta
ted yesterday, was repealed.
A bill hit* been passed by the Legislature in ses
sion In this place extending the stay laws to 1865.
The Departments.
The story that a large amount of greenbacks have
just been brought to Washington from New York
for immediate issue is false. The; are to take the
place of old notes, whioh will be burned.
The Navy Department has thirty-eight steamers
building, which will have nearly the speed of the
Eutaw.
Our Relations with France.
The (rumors recently put forth of real or appre
hended difficulties between the United States and
France are without any foundation.
Contrabands.
It 1b said that the superintendent of the contra
bands here Is giving notice to the owners of lots and
ah&nties now rented to contrabands, that the rent of
the same must be reduced.
Drowned.
The body of a man was found this morning In the
river near the foot of King street. The body ap
peared to have been in the water for some time and
was dressed in soldier’s clothing.
The Wrecks at Norfolk.
Owing to the failure of the previous contractor,
the Navy Department baa taken precautions to have
the work of raising the sunken vessels at Norfolk
and vicinity faithfully performed, and the offer must
be accompanied by the guarantee of responsible par
ties that the eontraot wiU be executed if awarded.
The vessel! to be raiaed are the Cumberland, Con
gress, Merrimae, Raritan, and Columbia, the BmaU
steamer White-hall, and the line-of-battle ships
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Columbus.
Discharged.

grted to by a vote of 78 to 85—the Republicans voting

The SPEAKER announced the pending question to be
on the pessaKeof the joint resolntlon to amend a joint re
solution explanatory of the Confiscation Act of July.
1862.
Mr. HOLMAN moved to lay the joint resolution
on the ta hie, which, was lost by a vote of 80 to 72.
Mr. COX, of Ohio, moved that the House adjourn.
Ur. ASUIEY. of Ohio, with a view to accommodate
both Bides, proposed, by unanimous consent, that Mr.
B air, of Misßouii, be permitted to address the House,
that Mr. <\-inith, of Kentucky, should follow, and that
afterwards Mr. Pray n, of New York* and some gentle
man on the Republican side, should be allowed to speak,
when the question should be taken without farther dila
tory motion.
Mr. SCBENCK, of Ohio, suggested that the subject be
laid over till next week.
Mr CRAVENS, of Indiana, and Mr. COX severally
said that would be more satisfactory.
Mr t>TEVEbS. of Pennsylvania, objected to the ar
rangement. They had got to the regular time when the
majority should rule.
Mr. YOORBIE6, of Indiana, said, Very well. We
Well avail ourselves of the rule of the House-

Mr. WiLbvM. of lowa, proposed that Mr. Blair and
Mr. Bruith, of Kentucky, be permitted to address the
House, when the vote shall be taken.
This was acquiesced in, with the addition that Mr.
Pruyn, of New lork, he also permitted to address the
House.
Mr. Blair’s Speecb.
Ur. BLAIR expressed his gratification at the general
consent that the armies of the Republic must be filled up
In order to encounter the despairing efforts of the rebels,
and that men of all parties are agreed as to the prompt
execution of thdir duty. We should consider the best
mode for the restoration of the Union. He was ready to
coulees this question involved so many great difficulties
a* to require the greatest forbearance and moderation
concerning the future and permanent peace of our coun
try. He rejoiced ihat all schemes and plans for this pur
pose are to be submitted to the arbitrament of the people.
It was said by a distinguished Senator from Missouri
that danger comes to the Union, bat safety from the peo
ple. If he was not mistaken slavery was substantially
destroyed, and this obstacle removed, oar advancing
armies will rescue the people of the South from the
present usurpation. The debate on the pending resolu
tion had disclosed the fact of the determination of the
leading men here either to compel-the President to vield
his ground on the subject of confiscation or to divide
the party. He proceeded to combat the views recently
advanced by Mr. Stevens, declaring that Uwas untrue
that onr Government had recognized the South as a
belligerent power. Our Government, on the contrary,
has always striven against such a recognition. The
gentleman was the first man on either side of the At
lantic who has had the hardihood to say so. The gen
tleman had aimtd that the insurgent States are out of
the Union, while the President distinctly recognized
them to he in the Union.
By the doctrine advanced hy Mr. Stevens an entire
conquest of the South could be including the seiz
ure of everthirg, to the distress of men, women, and
children. The gentleman would substitute a military
power for the constitutional authorities, while the Presi
dent maintains an entirely different policy for the re
construction of the States. He (Mr. Blair) called upon
Conyress to redeem its pledges, and compensate the
loyal Border States for the emancipation of their slaves,
and to provide for colonizing the lrecdmen.
Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, said he was • not here as a
Republican, an Abolitionist, : a Whig, or a Democrat, bat
as a Union man, to do his duty to the whole country,
Onrs is a Government of one people, with a Constitu
tion which defines Us rights, privileges, and powers.
When the exigency arrives it is the duty of Congress
to provide by law for carrying into effect any particular
act. He laid down as a broad proposition, ana asserted
it as a truth, that when a man became'a traitor to his
country and resorts to arms to overthrow the Govern
ment, he for leits even his lire. He could see no propriety
in drawing a distinction between kinds of property. If
we can take cannon and effects, we can take negroes and
lands. The rebels refuse to accept of the amnesty, and
now reeiet the laws. There was no necessity to explain
the Confiscation act of 18o2; it was not an ex post facto
law or bill of attainder. It proposed to reach the living
man, and * aid nothing about women and children. We
have held out the olive branch to the rebels, but they
ha.ve scorned it. We have too long been pandering to
the South, and now we should whip back thiß wicked
and bellith rebellion, and exterminate the people if
needs be. He was the enemy of every man. North or
South, who did not stand up for his country. There
vi as no such word as * * compromise ” in his vocabulary.
He would stand by the President. If the latter had
exercised extraordinary powers, it was alone in conse
quence of the rebellion.
Mr PRUYN, of New York,referred to theviewswhieh
hao prevailed among Southern men as to the doctrine of
eecesvion, and which had animated them from the foun
dation of our Government,but they had no right to carry
out their views. The rising of the people of ihe North,
after the first shot was fired at Fort Sumpter, was a mag
nificent spectacle of patriotism, and they never would be
satisfied until Sumpter was again in our possession. He
could speak for his own district at all times and on all
occasions. It bad furaisfc td men and money in defence
of our institutions, while the Democratic party had
been assailed on all hands for views which the great
body never entertained. They simply asked the Admin
istration to Tespcct the Constitution; and when, the re
straints of the Constitution are overlooked and broken
down, they have a right, and it was their duty, to express
their dissatisfaction. In reply to Hr. Stevens, he said
the assertion of that gentleigan that the Bouth have ac
quired the powers of a belligerent or independent Go
vernment, w&e a concession of the right of secession.
He briefly quoted, in eupport of his views on the subject
of confiscation, a paragraph from a recent number of
the Jew York Times. The joint resolution was then
passed, by a vote of 82 yeas to 74 nays, as follows:

Last year, three young gentlemen of thta city got
up a select fanoy dreae ball, at Concert Hall, anfl tt*
■ucoeaa has led to the formation of L,Coterie Blsuo,
by ten gentlrmeD, Including the' original three, wBo
gave a Fanoy Jlreaa Subscription Ball at the Aca
demy of Muafo, on Thursday evening; Nothing
oould have been more successful. Three thouiand
persons were present. The parquet oirole was oc
cupied by the subscribers and their respective parties,
'and the drees circle end family oirole- were crowded
; with spectators, specially Invited to witness tbe gale
' t j Ct . as usual, the parquet was floored ever, audthe
full extent of the stage being thrown In, a magnificent
ball-room was the result. The ten gettera-up ware
attired In a handsome unlform of white oashmere,
and acted as floor directors. HOssler’s Band'" dis
coursed mosC eloquent mualo ’’--the only fault of
which was that there was not enough of airing la
it. At a ball, lively music Is more-valued than elabo
rate and artistic al execution; Dancing oom*
menoed about ten o'clock, and ended at threv’the
next morning. Supper (oxtered by Mr. Price, comer
of Clieetnut and Fourth streets) was supplied* In
the Foyer, from eleven o’olook until the party
broke up. The evening was one of great, even of
unmixed enjoyment, for nothing occurred to rufflfe'
the surface of the tide of pleasure.
Among the company waa a fair sprinkling of
costumed representatives of various character*
The most striking was a group, arm-in-arm, fanci
fully attired in red, white, and blue ’’ (dress, com
plexion, hair, gloves, hose, and shoes), representing
the Union colors. Major De Boots was there—a well
aunained character—accompanied by Jemmy Jumps,
also a theatrical reminiscence. The Major was re
cognizable at once j his dress, make-up, and notion
closely resembling Olarke’a. The two Dromios
were in full force, also several Clowns and
a brace of Harlequins- An Indian Chief,—a
recollection of Metamora , —waa a striking per
sonage, and another of - Mr. Forrest’a cha
racters (Damon) was well dressed, at least.
Close to Charles the Second, on one side, was a- Chi
nese Mandarin, sumptuously and eorreotly attired,
and, on the other side of “ the merry monarch,” was
a handsome Vlvaadlere. A lady and gentleman
were in full. Scottish oostume, and would have ob
tained the approbation of our brothers of the Cale
donian Club —specially as the lady was partiou.
larly “bonnle.” We saw Lord Dundreary try
to flirt with a pretty Quakeress, but, as she pal
pably did not fancy him, he immediately
transferred his attentions to a charming re
presentative of Diana. There were shepherds and
shepherdesses, olalming to belong to Switzerland,
Germany, and Italy, and while one fair lady “ walk
ed in beauty,” in a star-gemmed robe of darkness,
as Night, one of the male sex was visible as em
bodying Night and Morning In his own person.
Spanish cavaliers, a dancing Turk, Mr. and Mrs,
Peter White, gay young monks, a dashing young
Oxford student, several red-eoated English hunting
squires, and a great many nondescripts, also helped
to make the soene what the Poet Bunn called " a
gay and festive’ ’ one. A few 1 adics wore the white wig
of the Iml century with any quantity of face-patches,
and mostly succeeded in no! looking well. None but
a young and pretty woman should risk tbe trial.
Fancy Marie Antoinette represented by a dowager!
About one-third of the whole company wore fanoy
costumes. From the drees oirole, up stairs, the as*
sembly looked brilliant, animated, and bent upon
Innocent enjoyment.
Academy of Music.—The Herman Opera reason
commenoea on Monday evening. The G-erman Opera
is an established favorite here. The efficiency with
which the music peculiar to the German school was,
last season, rendered, bespeaks a munifloent patron
age for the season about to begin. For both the new
and old members of the troupe the publlo Is pre
pared to entertain the kindest appreciation.

any others in use, while their cost is moderate.
They have been tested, and are now in use by most

[From Chas. Stokes & Co. ’« Illustrated, Almanac of
Fashion for 1864.1
« EDGAR,” A POE (M I)
Showing how the hero was made “ ravin’."
Once, upon a midnight dreary, while I; pondered,
weak and weary,
In the Hotel “ Continental,” room eight* hundred
and twenty-four,
I> was smoking, nearly napping, suddenly there
eame a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my cham
ber-door.
“ >TI* the chamber-maid,” I muttered, " sweeping
round by chamber-door— *
Only thir, and nothing more.”
Ah ! distinctly I remember, it waa in the bleak De
oember,
And each separate dying ember wrought lts-ghost
upon tbe floor;
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly had I sought
to borrow
From my ancle, where, in. sorrow, hang] the ’Hhree
balls” o’er his door,'
And the way I sought to borrow—shall be, wtth-my
unole’s store,
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each win
dow ourtaln,
Thrilled me i oiled me with- fantastic terrors never
felt before *
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood
repeating,
"If you come to dun for money, take your presence
from my door.”
Then a voice said, "Clothes from Stokes’ ‘one
price’ store,
Only this, and nothing more.”
Deep into the darkness peering, long X stood there,,
wondering, fearing,
Wondering why the gaslight looked so dim above
my door;
But tbe darkness was unbroken, and the stillness
gave no token,
For the only word then spoken was “ Clothes and
bill from Stokes' store,”
Said I, “ Boy, now leave the olothlng, don’t with
your bill be suoh (a bore.”)
Then the boy said, “ Nevermore t”
Back Into my chamber turning, where the gas was
better burning,
"Surely,” said I, "they do no trusting down in
Stokes’‘one prioe’store.”
» Then with all my powers mental,” said I, "In the
Gonttngntal
I have a room, and pay my board, more than I ever
paidbefore,
That should give me credit, boy, at Stokes’ ‘one
price’ Olothlng Store.”
Quoth the darkey, " Nevermore!”
“Be that word our sign of parting, oontraband!” I
cried, upstarting;
"Get thee back with box and olothing, back to.
Stokes’' one prioe l Store.
Leave no bill here as a token of the words you just
have spoken,
Leave m; loneliness unbroken, take your shape
from out my door,
Take your bill and box of olothlng back to Stokes’
‘one price’Store,
And I will go there nevermore 1”
And that bill is ever flitting, boy is ever
sitting,
In my dreams, upon the stairway, just beside my
ohamber door,
And my conscience has a teeming, of a demon that
is dreaming,
Of a hasty word outspoken, words which often I
deplore,
And the gaslight o’er me streaming, throws Air
shadow on the floor,
With the words of " Nevermore.”
Applications for the Almanac by mail, enclosing a
two cent stamp, will be attended to.
“ With sounding trump and pleroing drum—
The war-worn veterans homeward come.”
And a right hearty weloome are they deserving at
our hands. Citizens should vie with each other in
kind offices, snd in seeking to promote their com
fort, one of the surest ways to which would be to
point them to the cuperb civic and military Clothing

not breathe without great pain. I tbied tWO o? thrs*
cticinevwithout avail, and was hourly getting: Jr
when I was induced to procure a bottle of the JS*r P9c{ ’
rant. I now feel bound, -in gratitude, to say that r « ‘
rienced almost iastautaneons relief, and in a short
I was entirely cured. **

IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT RELIEF.
Mrs. J.“ B. FISHER, of St. JohnsviUe,
county. New York, writes:
*' My little daughter, aged ten years, has always hs*.
subject to cold producing croup, congestion-. Influam
tion of the lungs, or a severe protracted cough, Y m
Expectorantiis the only medicine that stop gave her in*,
mediate and permanent relief. I have tried other i ttn J
remedies, but they provedtuseless, andareeert to roar
Expectorant was the only means of cure," '
"COMPLETELY CURED MY COLD."
Rev. B. P. HEDDEN, Pastor of the First Bam-i*
Church, Camden,. V. J., writes:; *****
** A few weeks since, while suffering from a yer _ -
vere cold, I became so hoarse that it was with great diffi!
eulty I could speak so as to be understood While in tht'
condition your Expectorant not only gavo me immediaU
Telief, but in three or four days completely oared m*
cold, and removed my hoarseness. I therefore tak,
pleasure in recommending the Expectorant ae being i»
my judgment, the best cough medicine before \hl
public.”
‘‘ HOARSE. HOLLOW COUGH. '■
Rev. NELSON COOK, of Bergen, N; J., writes:
*’A young man living In my house was taken with a
violent cold, which settled upon his langs, earning*
hearse, hollow cough, accompanied by a burning fever.
This continued for more than two weeks, when loom,
menced giving your Fxpectorant and Pills, accorliog tc
directions, much against the will of some of.my neigh*
bora In the course of two or three days he began to
Improve, and in two weeks was about, and was soon
well.”
Mr. ANDREW GOWANLOCK; of Bayfield, C. W,,
Writes:
“ Jayne’s Expectorant has .effectually cured me of a
violent attack of Inflammation of the Lungs. ll
A VIOLENT COUGH OF LONG CONTINUANCE.
FORD, of Milton, Nova Scotia,
Mr. ALFRED A.
writes:
" During the winter of 1860-*6l*l contracted a violent
cough, which, from its -long continuance, was thoaiht
by many of my friends to indicate consumption. While
in this condition I obtained, through the persuasion of
Mrs. D. 0< Gaskill, of this place, a bottle of your Expec
torant, and having taken the same according to yoar di
rections, I was soon greatly relieved, and eventually
cured, and my health has been excellent ever since.
From my own experience, therefore, I cheerfully re
commend lt to all sufferers from Pulmonary Consump
tion."
SPITTING OF BLOOD, WITH BECTXC FEVER.
Bev. A. WIBBBG, writing from Witteng*n,HanovQ.
says i
"Shortly before,Christmas last, I gave two bottles
yonr Expectorant to a man that was troubled with a
very obstinate cough, accompanied by spitting bicod
and hectic fever, fiom.the combined effect of wh\ch ha
was becoming rapidly reduced. He had, in compliance
with the advice of a physician in his neighborhood,
tried various medicines without relto/, and was net in
clined to look with any favor on th&Expeciorant- How
ever. havlngpereuadedhim to take the two bottles home
with him, I was much pleased to hear, after th* lapse of
& week or ten days, that my friend had entirely recover
ed, and I havoAince received a visit from him, during
which he spoke emphatically in praise of the Expecto
rant, and returned his thanks for my exertions in caw.*
ing him to give it a trial.”
