DYSPEPSIA, DYSPEPSIA, DYSPEPSIA.
ET.WABETES BRANSON, of Brandywine,
Del., formerly of Old Chester, Del., do certify
that, for one year and a halt I suffered every
thing but death from that awful disease called
Dyspepsia. My whole system was prostrated
with weakness and nervous debility; I could
not digest my food; if I ate even a cracker or
the smallest amount of food, it would return
just as I. swallowed it; I became so costi%e in
my bowels that I would not have a passage in
less than from four and often eight days; un
der this immense suffering, my mind seemed
entirely to give way. I had a dreadful horror
and evil forebodings. I thought everybody
hated me, and I hated everybody; I could not
boar my husband nor my own children, every
thing appeared to be horror-stricken to me;
I bad no ambition to do anything; I lost all
my love of family and home; I would ramble
and wander from place to place, but could not
be contented; I felt' that I was doomed to
hell, and that there was no heaven for me,
and was often tempted to commit suicide,
so near was my whole nervous system de
stroyed, and also my mind from that awful
'complaint, Dyspepsia, that my friends thought
best to have me placed in Dr. Kirkbride's
hospital, West Philadelphia; I remained
there nine weeks, and thought I was a little
better, but in a few days my dreadful com
plaint was raging as bad as ever. Hearing of
the wonderful cures performed by Dr. Wis
hart's Great American Dyspepsia Pills and
his treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband
called on Dr. Wishart and stated my case to
him. He said he had no donbthe could cure
me. So in three days after I called and placed
myself under the Doctor's treatment; and in
two weeks I began to digest my food., andlalt
that my disease was feet giving way, and I
Continued to recover for about three months,
and at the present time I enjoy perfect health
of body and mind, and I most sincerely return
any thanks to a merciful God and Dr. Wis
hart, and -to his great American Dyspepsia
Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial that saved me
from an Insane Asylum and premature grave.
All persons suffering with Dyspepsia are' at
liberty to call on me or Write, as I am willing
to do all the good I' can for suffering hu
manity. .I.LIZABETH BRANSON, •

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
DR. Wentenr—l have been a constant sufferer with
Dyspepsia for the Lest eighteen years, during which time
I cannot say I ever enjoyed a perfectly well day. There
were times when the symptoms were more aggravated
than ati others, and then it seemed it would bee great re
lief to die. I had at alltimes an unpleasant feeling in my
head; but latterly my sufferings so much increased that
I became almost n.ulit for business of any kind ;- my mind
wax continually filled with gloomy thoughts and fore
bodings, and if I attempted to change - their current by
reading, at once a Sensation of icy coldness in connection
with a dead woight, as It were, rested upon my brain;
also, a feeling of sickness would occur at the stomach, and
great pain to my eyes, accompanied with which was the
continual fearof losing my reason. I also experienced
great lassitude, debility and nervousness, which made it
difficult to walk by day or sleep at night. I became'
averse to society, and disposed only to seclusion, and
having tried the skill of a number of eminent physicians
of various schools, dually came to the conclusion that, for
this disease at my present age (45 years) there was no cure
in existence, nut, through the interference of Divine
Providence, to whom I devoutly oiler my thanks, I at last
found a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and
Tar Cordial - , which seem to have effectually removed al
most the last trace of my long list of ailments and bad
feelinvfiland is their place health, pleasure and content
ment are my everyday companions.

DE. Wissuse—Slri—lt is with much - pleasure that I

American Dyspepsia Pills, I have been entirely cured of
that most .fflatreasing comp/Mint, Dyspepsia. I had been
grieviously afflicted for the last twenty-eight years, and
for ten years of that time lave not been free from its
path one week at a time. I have had it in its worst form
and have dragged on a most miserable existence-1u pain
day and night. Every kind of food that I ate Ailed me
with wind and pain, it mattered not how light, or how
email the quantity. A continued belching was buret°
follow I had no appetite for any kinds of meats what
ever and my Metiers was so great for several months be
fore I heard of your Pills, that I frequently wished for
death. I had taken everything that I had heard of for
Dyspepsia, without receiving any benefit; but on your
Pills being recommended to me by one who had been
cured by them, I concluded to give them a trial, although
I had no faith in them. To my astonishment, I found
myself. getting better before I had taken one-fourth of a
box, and after takieg . half a box, I ant a well man, and
can eat anything I w ith, and enjoy a hearty meal three
times a day, without inconvenience from anything I eat
or drink. If you think proper you are at liberty to make
this public and refer to me. I' will cheerfully give all de

BEFORE PETE - Es - HOW December. 3; 1864
Of lute there has been a growing disbelief
in raids. They are expensive and generally
do but little damage to the enemy, while the
benefits resulting therefrom are less. Great
bodies of cavalry are exhausted by long and
rapid marches. Infantry. will improve with
each day's travel, and be nerved and strength
ened for the struggle, *lien the point pro-
Posed is reached. With cavalry it is different.
After several days of hard travel there will be
a body of broken down horses and, dispirited
Men unaccustomed to fighting on foot. Stone
man's and Sheridan's rides toward Richmond
wore successful because Lee's strength was
taxed to the utmost to resist the masses pres
sing him to earth. When • Wilson and
Kautz went to visit the railroads to our left,
Lee-was not so intently engaged bid what he
could spare men to surround them as they're
ttirned. This was why that affair was so ma:
fortunate in termination.
Brevet Major Gencral Gregg's raid to Stony
Creek was well planned and excellently exe
cuted. The journey was short—not more than
twbnty miles; the destructibn of provisions in
calculable; our loss etceedingly small. It was
one;of those movements where rapidity of mo
tion was the mainspring bf victory. An hour's
delay would have rallied the rebel host% 'and
rendered abortive the success of the expedi
tion.
Between three and four o'clobk A. m., Thus
day, the division moved front camp. Btevet
Brigadier General . Gregg's 2d brigade led the
column; Smith and Davies, with their respec
tive commands, came after. lllcOania's road
was pursued, by way of Lee's Mills, until the
Jerusalem plank-road was reached at the Proe
tor House The 13th Pennsylvania, under
Colonel Kerwen, headed the column' to Duval's
Station, when the advance was given to the
4th and 16th Pennsylvania regiments.
The bridge over the - Rowanty is a solid
structure. It and the roads'in that local*
were guardedl3T ColOnelt Smith's brigade; to
keep the enemy from 'Offing in 'taxi rear.
Farther on id Duval's station, within cannon
shot of the main depot at Stony. Creek.
nierous small streams divide the country in
this district. They ultimately unite and form
the Nottoway river. At Bowanty Creek and
Duval's Station the enemy, had earthworke,
where they remained With some show of 're
sistance and obstinacy,but were quickly driven
hence. At the latter place Davies was left
with his brigade to preserve intact our com
munications, and keep the rebels from di
viding the brigades of Gregg and Smith.
,prevet General Gregg continued to advance
tipen Stony Creek Station. There is a sparse
settlement here, a large and vommodiousl de
pek,'Where is received, by the Weldon railroad,
the great.portion of the • supplies for Lee's
army and the people of Petersburg and Rich
mond. Preparations for the completion of a
branch railroad were' being . pushed forward.
It was to course through a slender valley,
formed by the Sepony and Stony Creeks.;
from thence to Dinwiddie and the Soutiiside
road. .
One would naturally suppose a place of
such vital importance would not be imper
fectly guarded. It was not. The steep banks
of the run held by troops would form a suffi
cient barrier against invasion. Bututhey were
adorned with strong earthworks, and on either
side were forts grim and strong. One con
tained a 32 and the other al2 pounder. The
natural strength of the position made the:
enemy careless, and but few troops were here.
A line of mounted and dismounted men, be
longing to the 4th and 16th Pennsylvania'reg-'
imente, were ordered to .charge the fort in
front. A similar line,-belonging to the same:
regiments, _were to move by the right flank,'
oross the stream, and attack the fort from that
direction. There were - three hundred rebels,
in the fortress. William H. Lee said that!
number could hold the position against a!
host. We will see. A command, well under- ,
stood by the brave little band, was given, and
away they rushed, as men determined to gain
the goal or perish e in the assault.
A clear space.-nad to be traversed under a
scorching fire, and abroad stream must be!
crossed. It was done before one , coUld de-,
scribe the scene, and the front and flarik,par-'
ties met at the ditch. With a cheer and a
volly they continued to, advance, and soon the
fortifications, the cannon,;, and rebels were'
ours. In the meantime the rebels, as, had'
been anticipated, flanked our right, and sought'
to come in the rearbyDuval's Station. They
reckoned without their host, for Davies and
his men were at that f4laCe, and the rebel Case
was hopeless. . The 10th New York had" a

separation of front and rear brigades by the
flanking column.

consumed by • fee, There were hay, grain
and provisions, and stbSistence of all kinds
sufficient to feed a large army a considerable
time. ' Manufactories of cotton goods, engine
boilers, steam and flouring mills, everything
was demolished. At Duval's Station the same
havoc was committed; a train of wagons cap
tUred and brought off—,a train of cars burned.
