RELATIVE TO SIJIISTITTJTES From an order recently issued by the Provost Marshal General and received in this city, it seems that any person enrolled may furnish, at any time previous to a draft, an acceptable substitute; and further, that such persons may furnish substitutes at any place other than where they reside or are enrolled. This is important in many respects. For Instance, a person enrolled may be absent from his district or place. of enrolment; in whatever district or city he may happen to - be ,he may, if he chooses, hire his substitute, take him before the provost mar shal for acceptance, who will duly notif y the provbst marshal of the district where he stands enrolled, which fully exempts him, the same as though he had not left his district, or-had - there furnished his substitute.

Yoa ask me At hy I Risky er, because it is a sc./en/IA.:: Ity, differing in application, tendencies, and results, from- all other remedies and preparations - which have ever gone before It. And further, because the Meta physical Discovery is the result of inherited power to trace effects to their Bra 'canoe. This may be styled originality of thought: therefore let -it be understood, that tbe Metaphysical Discovery is not only the result of inherited power, but also the result of a life of rare philosophical research, and that, too, in an unbeaten track. • . The mind of the discoverer could not be satisfied with any development less than the first canoe of the disease. This kind of knowledge, and this alone. is what a ra tional, sensible, and enlightened people demand. Nine tenths of the physicians of. the age are totally unfit fog their position. as the power to trace effects to the cause belongs to the few. -This bold assertion_requires es proof. Every house in the land has the proof within nit own doors. Disease reigns and triumphs in every home, and is transmitted from parent to child, and from gene ration to generation, thus entailing on our loved ones life worse than death. . How correct is the sentence: MY rumple perish for lack of knowledge. " Awake! awake! ye slumbering world, and betake yourselves to thouht! Think, mud live! Diseased individual, whoever thou art, remem ber that there is- but one root in the human system Which gives birth to and sustains the life of disease, and that no earthly power can remove your disease ex cept this root be destroyed. Your disease may change its nature and locality,but remember it will again come forth with other attendants, and stop your fleeting breath at a time unlooked for. With confidence I say that my Metaphysical Discovery is the only remedy ever offered to the world which. Will utterly annihilate the root of disease. The Dis covery consists of three distinct preparations. One for the scalp, one for the eyes , and one for the ear. These work in conjunction, and strike at the root of all dis ease. When I say all, I mean every disease that ever infested the human body. IIEAD THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATES CAREFULLY. ASTHMA, FIITHMIC, „ AND CATAIIIIII OF BEVEHAL THAW It is with heartfelt gratitude to God that I am enabled to give the following certificate, for tLe benefit of Elie suffering : When a little girl at boarding-school, on the banksot the Hudson, .I suffered severely the first year from Plthisic, which soon began to take the form of Asthma. It soon became necessary to remove me from the air of the Hudson, No -language can- describe my safferings for foarkeen My family removed me to different climates, thinking some atmosphere could be found where I could breathe more easily—but all to no purpose. Some years since Catarrn -at9o made its appearance. My Asthma was so severe that I was almost constantly suffering, from an attack (which always confined ma to bed forseveral days), or the effects of an attack. My bedroom had almost become an hospital; horning salt petre paper, smoking stramonium, hc. , &e. Mustard poultices had become, as it were, a second nature. I was reduced to a skeleton, and often at the point of death. My family no more thought of raising me out ot" Asthma, and its attendants, than of raising a corpse from the grave. -Almost everything thought or heard of, daring a period , of fourteen years, was tried in my behalf, and I fully believe had I not been blessed with a most devoted sister, who watched me by day and night, applying remedies necessary to aid me in breath ing, before my attacks gamed on me, I would lung ere this have passed from lime. I have been under the treatment of the first phyei clans iu New York and Philadelphia, but they could afford me no relief. When I first began to use Mrs. M. G. Brown's " Meta physical Discovery' I was thought to he dying. I soon felt m Catarrh breakingnp and disappearing. For eight months s I ha'e not had an attack of Asthma. which I could not say for years and years previously, Won derful I feel unspeakably thankful for this, and seem in a new world. I expect to travel considerably for some time. AU letters addressed " E," Box 32, Philadelphia, P. 0., Will reachine, and will meet with a'prompt reply. AL any time I may be where an interview may be had, I will notify the writer of the same. NEURALGIA, CERTIFICATE OP MR. J. P. LITCH I OP CHARLESTOWS This is to certify that nine weeks since I was attacked with Neuralgia in the most violent form. Several phy- Sicians were applied to, who did all they could to relieve me, but to no purpose. Every patent medicine and remedy that could be found were applied without effect. My face was poulticed and bandaged in order to find re lief. Since the Neuralgia attacked me I lost twenty seven pounds of flesh. In this elate a friend of Mille recommended me to try Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphy sical Discovery, as it had cured a friend of his very bad eyes, which had baffled the skill of the most eminent o physicians_ qnseuntly I went to Hrs.: M. G. Brown's office, at the AMERICAN HOUSE, and obtained her Metaphysi cal Discovery, on Saturday, the nineteenth instant. I applied it at 4 o'clock in the alternoon. The result was that Neuralgia subsided. Almost immediately I felt relief. I slept well, without any poultices as before: and at the time of giving this certificate, the Slot inst., I consider myself.delivered from my disease, and re commend the Metaphysical Discovery to all who are suffering. CATARRH CURED. MR. JEROICE A. O'CONNOR, OF OLD CLIIRRIDGR. Tide is to certify that I have been troubled with a bad. catarrh for the last five years. This winter it became unusually troublesome; so ranch so that I was obliged to rise at night, owing to the mucus, which would have suffocated me. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Meta physical Discovery some weeks back,,used it faithfullyp and the result is that my catarrh began to give way at once. I felt relieved from what had been so troublesome and offensive to me, and now consider myself a cured young man, being entirely delivered from the terrible disease of catarrh. My sister has also been diseased in. Ler head and eyes from childhood; so much so that the family thought she could not live. In the use of the Discovery she has received equal benefit with myself.. .17e cordially recommend the Metaphysical Discovery_ I, Chase,ol,Cambridgenort, do certify that I have been troubled with a bad catarrh for upwards of thirty years. I Obtained. Mrs. M. G. Brown's Meta physical Discovery, and , in ten minutes after using it found relief that rhad never found before. I have used the medicine faithfully, and believe it 'went to the root of my disease: and I feel as if catarrh was eradicated. from my system, the foul effects of the sad disease hav ing ceased._ My wife also has been suffering from a complication of diseases. On using the discovery clot ted blood and matter rushed from her head, and she found immediate relief, and ha.sbeen gaining in her gene ral health ever since. Under these circumstances I heartily recommend the Metaphysical Discovery to all who suffer. CURE OF DEAFNESS I, Thos. Dooly, No. 1 Jenkins Place, Commercial street, do certify that I have been deaf for upward of four years. I obtained. Mrs. M. 0. Brown s Metaphysi cal Discovery, and have been using it for about one month, and the result is that I have obtained mv perfect hearing, for which I feel grateful to God and-Mrs. IC G. Brown. Last Sunday I heard the priest, and can hear the clock tick, which I could not do before. DYSPEPSIA, CATARRH, Sm., &c. MRS. GEORGE VAEGRN 2 S CERTIFICATE, OP Ar.i.I.DEN This is to certify thatl have suffered for ten years from Dyspepsia, Catarrh, and a complication oi dis eases. For the past year, I have been restless, and could not Steen at night. ho exhausted had I become that I was unable to do my household duties. I became so cold that it- seemed impossible for me to keep warm_ For some time, my eyes were very much diseased, and my hearing 'du 11. Myself and friends considered me in Consumption. In this state, I went to Mrs. 31. G. Brown, at the American House, and obtained the Meta physical Discovery. I have used one box faithfully, and no language can begin to tell the benefit I have received from it. My eyes have become clear and strong. My Dyspepsia is entirely gone. I can eat hearty, and without any inconvenience. My catarrh has ceased. (I would remark that large bine lumps of matter seemed to come from my system.) My whole body has become animated and warm. I can now do my ova work, and feel altogether a new being. My friends say I am gaining flesh. I know as I was I could not have lived. I feel grateful to God for the benefit I have received and still expect, to receive. I recommend Mrs. M. G. Brown, and her mode of treat ment, to all who suffer as I have done. Hundreds of certificates of cores of deafness, etc., in and around. Boston, can be found at the office. - PRILADELFICU., Jan. 30,1561. I, William Lee, of Glonbester, Camden county, N.J., do certify that my wife, Ellen, has been suffering se verely with a complication of diseases for eight years. Her first trouble was womb complaint, which confined her to bed for seven weeks. Diseases of various kinds set in, one after another, till my wife became almost perfect wreck. She has been under the treatment of ten prominent physicians, all of whom failed to give her any relief, and she was fast sinking in the arms of Death. It is more than four years since she was able to attend to household duties, and I had been compelled to employ a housekeeper. We had given up doctoring as useless. Some time ago my- housekeeper, very providentially, went to Kingsessing, Pennsylvania, to see her sister, When she learned that kfr. - Tohn Richmond (her sister's neighbor) bad given up work and was at the point of death ; but sending for Mrs. Br, G. Brown's ``Metaphy sical Discovery," and using it faithfully.- bad been re stored to health, and was up and at wonz again. When my housekeeper came home she told mei the cir cumstances, and prevailed on me to write to Mr.-Rich mond for the particulars. I did so and received them. Wethen sent for Mrs. al'. G. Brown's "Metaphysical Discovery " and my wife has used it faithfully. The result is her womb complaint has entirely gone, and she can now do the work of her house. I consider that disease is fast leavin s _. her system, and she is regaining her original health. Her eyes, which were very weak, are clear and strong. I unhesitatingly ascribe my - wife's recovery from the jaws of death to Mrs. 31. G. Brown's "Metaphysical Discovery," and recommend it to all who suffer from any disease whatever, as it strikes at the root of all disease. Should any person wish to call in reference to the abOve, lam willing to see them or write, as they may desire. .I..XSIVER OF JOHN mcamoxn, KINOSESSII(i; vo Wk. tag. - - - - - - - - Or GLOUCESTER, CAMDEN COUNTY, N.
