THE SUMNER OUTRAGE.
tel. The assault upon Senator SUMNER
has attracted general attention, and prove.
ked general indignation throughout the
Free States. Never si n ce the formation
of the Government, have Northern men
been so united in sentiment as in their de-.
nunciation of the sudden, brutal, cowardly
and murderous assault, made by a South
'Carolina Locofbco upon a Northern Sen.
-ator--made, too, by the connivance of fel- 1
low Loosfoco Congressmen, and with a
view to hack forever the expression of' ,
anti-Ellavery sentiment by Northern Rep
reactances in Congress. The subject has
been investigated iu the Senate and House.
"The 'report of the committee of the latter
will be found in another column. Its re.
'commendation for the expulsion of Brooks
will doubtless lead to debate and probably
other scenes of violence, should Southern
dictation be farther attempted ; but it is
vet probable that the requisite two-thirds

Ex-Mayor Lambert was ready to define

Sumner. his blood had been filled with in
dignation. The stoic calmness of Douglas
was worse than the brutality of Brooks ;
it was a disgrace to that party for which
he had labored all his life—God forgive
Lim [Enthusiastic cheers.)
The meeting in New York City was
very large and attended by many of the
most conservative men of the city. John
A. Stevens, President of the Bank of Com
tura, called the meeting to order; and
-amoarthe Vice Presidents were Ex-May
or Havemeyer, Ex-Lieutenant Gov, Bra
dLlt,Ex-fdayor Kin gel aud, Erastus Brooks,
' of, the Express, John A. King. Joseph
Maxie. Ex-Mayor Brady, and malty others
of equal respectabifity aud influence. The
leading speech of the evening was made
by. Datentr, Lona, Esq., one of the leading
lawyers of the city, always a "conserve
. tire" man, and a supporter of the Corn pro
mise of 1 , 850. His sense of right, and re
spect for the Constitution' have driven him
to, exprees. his opinions boldly and elo.
•• trendy. We annex the report and com
mend it to general perusal :
Futow CITIZENS: We are'not here

[Applause]. My fellowmitmen, the ques
tion we are here to consider is not a ques
tion about Premed 8. Brooks. Lot the
name be sunk, and lot it over be held in
detestation. A name is of no consequence
in the question before us. The name of
Senator kiuniner [applause], our revered
friend, an educated man, an honor to the
literature, jurisprudence, and the politics
of the country [applause] ; a man with
whose political son timeuts 1 confess I have
no serious connection. Let that name it
self be sunk ; let its honors, it, classical
chaplets be buried in the dust itself. It is
not Senator Sumner, it is not a bleeding
Senator, it is not a sufferieg man that we
have before us ; but it is a prostrate Sena
tor, it is a Senator of the United States of
America [applause] cut down in the Sen
ate House for words spoken in debate, call
ing upon you, gentlemen and fellow-eiti.
:ens, to say what you think of freedom of
debate; what you thick of the sanctity of
the Senate, what you think of the very
foundation of this Rbpublio and of govern
ment in the whole world. It is a question
of government, a question ofall order pros
trated, of law despised and set at naught,
upon which we are now called to deliberate
[applause]. My fellow-citizens, the facts
in this case are most graphically described
by the actors in the scene, and I shall read
to you in a very brief summary the details
of what occurred, so that you may know
precisely, and in the very words of the
party assailed, the facts os they really are,
so Mut you may ant upon them in your po
litical conduct. I read the following ac
count of the proceedings : Mr. Slidell of
La. alluded to a telegraphic, dispatch' pur
porting to he the evidence given by Mr.
Sumner before the Committee appointed to
investigate the circumstances of the assault
made upon Mr. Sumner, in which Mr.
Sumner says : "After some formal busi
ness, a message was received from the
House of Representatives announcing • the
death of a member of that body from Mis
soori," Hero you have announced to the
Senate the ntessage of the death of one of
the members of the House of Representa
tives, to which the gentleman belonged,
who perpetrated this outrage upon Senator
Sumner. A member of that Howse of
Representatives was stricken down by the
band of death, calling upon that body to
adjourn out of respect to his memory. • A
message is brought to the Senate announ
cing this death, and out of respeot to the
House of Representatives. thus visited by
the death of ono of their members, the Sen
ate suspended their .busineas, after enlogi
ums upon the deceased. Then, gentlemen,
what took place? Senator Sumner re.
mains in his seat, and a member of the
House of Representative, thought dint a
fitting occasion, without regard to that iol
°inn admonition which God Himself • bad
given, to prepare himself for au aseault
upon Senator Sumner, the results of which
he did nut or probably could not be sup
posed to know or care for ; and for that
purpose he comes to that place—the most
elevated, venerated and important of all
places in this Republic, the Senate cham
ber of the United States—that place where
the affairs of the Government are serious
ly delibereted upon by Senators, compris-
ing the' best wisdom and the most solid
virtue of all this• Country, wliere, the treaties
with foreign Governments are to be deba
ted upon and considered, where debates are
to be conducted not by young and impas
sioned men, but by the sober acid delibera
tive wisdom of the country—a place to be
filled not with vigorous men,. not with
fighting men, but with elderly and studi
ous mon, with men to be distinguished not
by force and power of body, but by form
of mind and venerableness of age, by ele-
Native of private and public virtue. What
occurred there. Let us for a moment read
what Senator Sumner tells us of the co
curreuee :
[Here follows the statement of Mr. Sumner,
published last week ]
Here, then, wo have a man coming into
the Senate Chamber and makidg this as
sault, not pretending to be animated by
any public motive, nor carrying out any
measure of principle or policy, bat giving
as his reason that he had read tho speech
of Scooter Sumner, owl it was • libel on
South Carolina . and Mr. Butler, who was
a relative of his. Although "my relative"
is the party alluded to by Senator Sumner,
I Preston Brooks am the judge, and more
over, I tun the exeontioner. I am here
with my cane to attack and cripple you una
wares, with your [min hand, and 1 deal you
a blow, the first effect of which is to Atm
you. Now, gentlemen, lot usace what were
the circumstances attending thescene asde
scribed by the actors in it, because it is not
my Faros° to stimulate an excitement, but
I desire that the impression made hero
shall be exact, durable and abiding, and
that whatever may suit your own judgement
of right or propriety shall he toreafter ac
ted upon [applause], so that public men
shall know, when they come for any pur
pose before this great people. not this peo
ple of New-York, half a million as we are,
but before the great people that inhabit
this vast republic, that the) shall be dealt
with according to the judgements of their
fellow-citizens [applause]. Let me now
read to you, gentlemen, the explanation of
Mr. SLIDELL, with . whom I certainly have
no public or private animosity, no political
conflict or strife. I have met him io pri
vate life, and I believe him to bo a peacea
ble man I recollect him us once a citizen
of this very State. hat us hear his state:
went in • regard to this matter: "He had
not speken to Mr. Sumner for upwards of
two. years, and did not consider himself
upon such tams of intimacy as . to justify
any expreision of sympathy upon his
part." My fellow-citizeos, here is a 43n
utor from—hal I -beg you to drop his
name:. I- beg you to hear in silence, and
not to prejudge him as he seems to have
prejudged , others;
bat le t me picture to
you that bleeding Senator, atuinted by the
blows of a Mau of superior power in brutal
force, struck down in the Sonata House.—
He was a ge ntleman whom he must hare
"met in social circlee." I did not speak to
him
.for two years, and I could not express
any sympathy with him [hisses.] My
fellow-citizens, is this the character of a
• public man ? • (Cries of "No I No I"] Is
this the character of a Senator ? [Shouts
of "No I No :"]. • is this the character of
a roan of common feeling and humanity ?
[hisses.] No sympathy ! Why, if my
worst enemy were bleeding at my feet, and
it wet but to give him a, look of eynapathy
of returning consciousness from. being stun
ned by the blow, I confess I cannot conceive
it my dat7 to have passed him by [Cheers].
I.' wish to -call your attention to the few
remarks that I have to make of the dan
ger that is now existing in this Republic
, from the materials which now compose
!the Senate of the United States peen"
In the first place, a man who had not spo
ken to Mr. Sumner for two years, could
not, when he was bleeding and stunned.
express his sympath [Cheers]. I will read
now to you the debate of the Senate of the
United States, froth an authorized reporter,
giving you the language of the men them
solves. “Mr. Douglas corroborated the
smtembet of the latter, so far as the evi- 1
dence alluded to himself (Mr. Douglas.)
He found the incurrence brought to his
notice, and said his first impression on
hearing of the matter was, to go to the
Senate Chamber and endeavor to restore
quiet." [A voice ; I do not believe it,
Cheers and Laughter.] Here, gentlemen,
yon have the impulse of a Senator of the
United States [applause]—a conservative
impulse. Mr. Sumner was stunned by
the blow, and it was the impulse of Sena
tor Douglas to settle the question [laugh
ter].• But, gentlemen, Senator Douglas is
a man unlike some of the warm Southern
blood of the country, and whose nature is
not to act upon impulse, but upou consid
eration.
Let us see what he did : ..But
upon reflection, if ho did so. under the per.
sonal relations in which he stood to Mr.
Sumner, his motives might have been Mis
construed." Here, gentlemen, is the con
servative impulse of a Senator of the Uni
ted States to go into the Senate Chamber
to whibh he belonged to restore quiet, alto
gether quenched and suppressed by the
thought that his motives may be misunder
stood, and therefore he did not go in until
it was all over [Cheers]. Should you not,
Mr. Douglas, have interfered and prevent
ed such a dastardly and unmanly attack by
a brutal ruffian upon a brother Senator ?
But, my fellow-citizens, this is a Senator
of the United States [Shouts, cries uf "Ju
das Douglas," Arnold Douglasi. This,
fellow-citizen, is a Senator of the United
States. He is a Senator of the. United
States who would not go Ago the Senate
House to protect a prostrate Senator for'
fear that his motives should be misunder-
stood [Laughter and hisses]. Now, gen
tlemen, let, me introduce to you another
Senator, for whom .privately I entertain
the , highest respect—l mean Senator
Toombs, who would not interfere at all but
approved of it. I regret this the more as
I have always respected him as an individ
ual. How could he see a fellow-Senator,
bleeding, bruised and crushed by the bled
geon of's villain without rushing to his as
sistance ? My friends, I anr unwilling to
believe that the Slave States endorse this
matter. ,I kuow many . Southern people,

certain that they would be the last to toler

{ Southern press, notwithstanding the ex

lam sure they will not. The great body
of the intelligent Southern men *ill not
favor this. I love and respect many of
our Southern brethren—l am well acquain-
ted with some of them, and so far as my
ktuncleage .of them goes ..I feel perfectly
convinced that they will set their mark of
disapprobation upon the outrage Which we
have assembled to denunciate. We will,
and must denuncithe it, and show our Rep
resentatives and , Senators by our conduct
and firmness, that we will not tamely sub
mit to it. Chivalry ! It is the meeting of a

'lf you wish to honor the word chivalry, do
not call the conduct , of the man from South
Carolina chivalry [applause]. I appeal for
I the honor of your historic knowledge, of
I your ancient associations, and of our com
mon language, that this word may not be
thus perverted.' My fellow chivies, I will
now mill your attention to some other Mr
eumstanees—and to very few, for you do
not need instruction in this matter. We
have now an outrage which, as betweenl
two individuals, might excite our eympat hy 1
and indignation ; bat it is a national
question, and aitind ividual
, considerations
are sunk. The question whether a man 1
from South Carolina may not have been I
unduly excited and have committed an ,
indiscretion, is in itself comparatively a 1
Itrifle—atrocious as it may be. The danger,
the importance, the gravity of the occasion
l ie in the manner in which it was received ' 1
and treated by others. You have peen 1
how those who stood by treated it. Let ,
UP look at the act of the Senate as a body.
What has that Senate done ?—and I beg
you will hear me with a slight degree of
patience, because it is of the greatest conse
quence that this country should see to the
protection of the privileges or the Senate.
The privileges of the Senate ? Whose
privileges are they ? Are they the privi
leges of the men who ore elected to the
Senate? Is it that Mr. Slidell, or Mr.
Douglas, or Mr. Sumner should be waited
upon first ? Is it for the elevation of their
personal dignity ? Far from IL It is
that the Senate House, and the persons of
the Senators who meet there, should be
sacred because they debate and decide the
interests of some three millions of men.--
! It is not their privilege, it is my' privilege,
it is your privilege, it is our privilege.—
It is the privilege of 'the common sailor
who has a law to be passed in regard to
commerce. It is the privilege of the mer
chant who has a law to be passed in
regard to trade. It is the privilege '
of the
manufacturer who has a law to be passed
regarding his interest. It is the privilege
of every man in this country who lives
under the Government, who is to be
benefited by the Government, or who is to
be ruined if the Government is prostrated.
If the deliberatebodies of the Unieti.cannot
debate and cannot protect their debates,
what is Government? Can there 'be a
law? Can there bo a discussion, can the
public interests be looked at and carried
out ? No, my fellow citizens, it is our
privilege hat makes sabred the Senate
[loan. Tho privilege of the Senate is,
that the members shall .deternine their
own order. They shall deterthine what is
decent among themselves, an d; \ they shall
determine it exclusively. When, therefore,
a debate occurs in the Senate, if the Senate
do not judge it improper, his a concluded
thing. They, by the Constitution of the
country and the necessity of the Govern
ment, are the exelnsivejudgee.
When, therefore, Mr. Sumner made
his speech—l do not dare how much it
may be criticised—l do not care how
much it may seem to others or to myself to
have been severe or caustie or personal—
it is the only way in which the Govern
ment can be made to go on to regard that
speech as belonging to the Senate ; and if
the Senate doss not interfere or think it
improper, no man out of the Senate has a
right to interpose judgment upon that sub
ject in the way of executing its *entente.
Let me put this to you in soother way.--.
Suppose that the President oethe United'
States heti gone with a ile of marines in
the Senate—his conduct having been crit
icized in the Senate with what he and his
friend, supposed to have hem undue asper
ity—and lie had undertaken to inflict that
judgment which Ito conceived himself
entitled to pass, in the manner in which
the gentleman from South Carolina—
[Many voices—No gentleman]—inflicted
it upon Mr. Sumner, how would such ac
tion have been regarded? Would it not
have been a revolution ? But if the Pres
ident may not do it—if the men elected
by the suffrages of thirty million of mon
may not invade that Senate Chamber,
not even by his presence, can it be that a
man with no privilege in that place may
go there, undertaking to execute his judg
ment, not upon matter of public policy.
but upon the impulse of private vengeance
[No. no, no I from all parts of the house.]
Will the Cothmittee of the liuited States
Senate investigate dile matter of the. at
tack upon Senator Sumner, and come to a
judgment I You will observe that the
Constitution of the United States gives no
judicial authority to the Senate for the
protection of its own deliberations ; but it
has been judged by the highest tribunal.
of the country, and it is the law of every
organized Government that the high de
liberative
bodies of the country' have the
privilege to protect themselves, and secur
ing the freedom of debate and the imunity
of their persons. New the Senate of the
United States had this privilege. If I
should go into the Senete without the per
mission
of the Sergetint-at.arms, I should
be interferring with the privileges of the
Senete. andli wouldjie the right of that
body to commit me .to prison ; not be.
cause it was granted by the Constitution,
but because it was a power that existed in
the nature, and structure of the Govern
ment itself, without which it is plain that
the Senate could, not deliberate. So
could the Senate, in every instance, pro
tent its own privilege, by trying the offen
der, by sentencing the offender. and by de
claring their sense of !tie violation of their
rights. and by an adequate sentence and
punishment, .But, , my fellow citizens,

over to the Hatlett'or Representatives.—
They , therefore so fur as their judgment
goes, declare that they cannot investigate

the 'Union of the States exists in the Sen

mighty to be resisted, which will cause
our beloved country to shed tears of blood
through all her borders for generations to
come. Civil war, with all its horrid trains
of pillage, and slaughter carried on with
out the slightest provocation against the

frontiers of the Union, the worse than
civil war raging for mouths unrebuked at

man, the Senator from Masischuicita.

which, for the good name, the pekoe and
safety of our country, it were worth all

whether the toils, the sacrifices and the
sufferings of our fathers for the sake of
founding a higher, purer, and freer civili
sation on the Western Continent than the
world had- yet seen, have not been in vain.
For myself. they fill me with sorrow too

Report of the Committee In the
Sumner affair.
rOn Monday, in the House, Mr.
Campbell, of Ohio, from the select commit
tee on the assault upon Senator Sumner,
made a report, as follows :
.Whereas, the Senate of the United.
States have transmitted to this House a
message complaining that Preston S.
Brooks, a Representative from the State
of South Carolina, committed upon (he
person of Charles. Sumner, a Senator from
the State of Massachusetts, while seated
at his desk in the Senate chamber; after
the adjournment of that body on the 22d of
May last, a violent assault, which disabled
him from attendipg to his duties in the
Senate, and declaring that said assault
was a breach of the privileges of that body.
And, whereas, from respect to the priv
ileges or ',this House, 'the Senate have fur
ther declared that, inasmuch, as the said
Preston S. Brooks is a member of this
House they cannot arrest him, and, a fac
liori, cannot try or punish hint f ora breach
of their privileges ; that they cannot pro
cited further in the case than to make their
complaint to this House ; and that power
to arrest, try and punish devolves solely
on this body ; and whereas, upon full in
vestigation, it appears to this House that
the said Preston S. Brooks has been guil
ty of the assault complained of by the
Senate, with most aggravated circumstan
ces of vinkince ; that the sane was a
breach of the privilege. not only of the U.

breach of the legislative department of the
Government in direct violation of the Con
stitution of the United States, which de
clares that Senators and Haprescintatives
for any speech or debate in either house
shall not be qamittOned in any other place.
Whereas this House is of the opinion that
it has the power, and ought to punish the
said Preston S. Brooks for the said assault
not only as a breach of the privileges of
the Senate, assailed. and of the Senate
and House us declared by the Constitu
tion. but as an act of disorderly behaviour;
and '
Whereas, it further eppoaft from such
investigation that Henry A. Edmondson.

and Lawrence M. Kent, a representative
from South Carolina, sometime preCiour
to said assaulti were informed that it was
the purpose of said Mr. Brooks to commit
violence upon the person of said Charles

as a &noir in the Senate, and took no
measures to diecourage- Or prevent the

A Slave Purchased In Plylaouth
Church, Brooklyn.
At the conclusion of the sermon yester- ,
day morning, the Rev. Henry Ward Bee- •
cher announced to his congregation that
he was about to perform an action of a
moat extraordinary nature, which he
would preface by reading a portion of the
12th chapter of Matthew. He according.

that chapter,
after which he proceeded to

girl, Sarah by name, an appeal in whose
behalf he had lately received. She wait;

treated her so eruelly.that she attempted

back to her paternal muter, who made
immediate preparations to sell her to the

"At this platter.," said Mr. Searcher, "I
received a letter asking if we could do any,
thing "toward making up the rut of the
money,,' to which I replied. that I would
promise nothing unless wacould see her
here.
'The reverend gentleman here stepped
from his desk, and with an encouraging
"Vome up Sarah." he led upon the plat
form a young. intelligent mulatto girl.
whom he presented to the crowded audi
ence as the slave girl in question.
She is, .pparently ,about 'twenty-three
years old. probably three.quartere white,
of very pleasing and modest
Mr. Beecher seated her in a chair by' his
side. while he continued his remarks.—
She was here, he said, on her parole of
honor. She bad promised to go back.
and she must return. either with or with
oat the five hundred dollars which were
yet necessary to make her a free • woman.
A collection wonld be taken up, and the
result wenld show their verdict.
By this time there was hardly a dry
eye in the whole immense congregation
of nearly" 3,000 people. Men wept. and
women sobbed—not shamefacedly but
openly and without atty. : attempt at con
cealment. ill seemed to be touched to
the very heart. The like scene has nev
er been witnessed in the world. In. a
Christian land, on the Christiau Sabbath,
in the pulpit of a Christian church, by
the lips of a Christian . minister. a tremb
ling, shrinking woman begged from a
Christian people money to save herself
from a l;fe of slavery and compulsory
prostitution.
One. gentleman here rose and announced
that the money should; be forthcoming
to make her free, and that if necessary he
would. be personally" responsible for the
entire amount. This announcement was
received with hearty and long continued
applause, the audience being no longer a
ble to restrain their feedings, and Mr.
Beecher expressing his approval of the
jubilant demonstration. Sarah, the slave
girl, had, up to this time, preserved a tol
erable composure. but when the certainty
was declared that she could not go back to a
Woof Slavery. she buried her fax in her
hinderchieland wept aloud. As the col
lectors paned among the audience, the
plates wee, actually heaped up with the
tokens of substantial sympathy. one lady
even took the jewelry from her permit
■nd east it into the fund. The amount
collected on the spot was $784, which be
sides completing the sem necessary for
the purchase of Sarah, will also secure
her child, a boy of tour years. who is now
in bondage.
The scene was meet the most remark
able and exciting ever enacted in this
country before a religions engtegation
and the instantaneous awl owl satutao•
tory pecuniary rapes.* to the pies' for
liberty, shows that the Anti• Slavery Sen
timent is ready. when occasion requires.
to indicate its sincerity by memento
more tangible and aubstantial than mere
words.
Another Account of the Sum-
nee Ammanlt.
BOSTON. May 29.—Dr. Bunting, of
Montreal, Canada. stales in a letter ip.the
Evening Journal that he was in the gal.
lery of the Senate chamber at the time of
the It on Mr. Sumner. He.isays he
saw Brooks approach Mr. Sumner. not
in front but at the side of his desk. and ad
dress him some words in a low tone, and
then at the moment Mr. Sumner raised
his head, turning it op one side to Oaten,
he poured down on 'him blow after , blow
with the greatest rapidity. •
Mr. Sumner struggled sewed times to
rise from his east, but was evidently so
much hemmed in as to be utterly Weal
psble of rising until! he had, by great ef
fort, torn the desk from its fastenings and
then pitched forward insensible on she
floor. While this win progressing. -Mr.
Keitt stood with one hand flourishing 'a
large cane and holding a pistol behind him
partly under his coat, but which Dr. bun
ling saw very distinctly projecting from
between the flaps of his coat.
Dr. Bunting says he was. from his po
sition in the gallery, directly above the
actors in ,the scene, enabled to see this
very clearly during the assault. Mr.
Douglas, he asserts, stood within five feet
of Mr. Sumner with his hands in• his
pockets. Dr. D. assisted to dress Mr.
Bumper's wounds.
Faitomous Briarr or SLiviirr.--In
a speech made before the Hamilton eoun
ty. Ohio, Republican Convention recently
held, Judge Hoadlv. lately a pionsibent
Democrat, said; "If Gen. Washington
were alive to-day. and were to otter the
sentences contained in his will. with ref
erence to his slaves, and resided io the
territory of Kansas, he would be consign
ml to the penitentiary for two years under
the Pierce administration." The is a
most humiliating tact ! And yet this is the
administration and policy which the peo
ple are expected to uphold in the next
Presidential election under Buchanan;
Dotuglass, Pierce or some other tool of
Slavery that the Cineinnatti convention
may put up. •

the 2tl of,May, has, under the above•head, ,
the,lallowing curious statement:
"We know that Walker, in order to
secure the services of the Licentiate, Padre
I). Augustin. parochial curate of the
city of Graniva, and to dispose freely of
whatever concerns the ecclisiastical juris
diction, has promised him, as. soon as his
government is consolidated, to establish a
Protestant church, of which the said cu.
mita, Si. Vijii, ie to be the head, and Genet.-
al Walker the protector. He does this to
recompense him foe the signal services he
had rendered him in forming and support
ing his government. Led away by these
promises, the Curate Vijil has again em
barked in a revolutionary career." The
Panameno then goes on to denounce, in
severe terms, the conduct of Padre Vigil.

A HUMAN LIFE SAVED!
DowAnlAc MOO., March 11 . 0888.
. A. RHODES Esq.: Dear S i re—As I
J• took your medicine to sell on consign.:
meta, "no cure no pay," I take pleasure 'in att.:.
ting its effects as reported to me by three
brothers who live in this place, and their testi.
mossy is a fair specimen of all I have re
ceivcd:
W. S. Conklin told me---"I had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam. and cootin.
tinily run down while using it until my lungs
and liver were congested to that degree that
i blood discharged from my mouth and bowels,
so that all thought it impossible for me to live
through another chill. The doctors too did all
they could for me, but thought I must die.— .
Nothing did me any good until I, got Rhodes'
Fever and Agpe Cure,
which at once relieved
me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced '
a permanent cure in a short time." '
11. M. Conklin says—"l had been taking
medicine of as good a doctor as we have in
our county, and taking any quantity of quinine
and specifics without :sty good result, from
the 25th of Aurigae the 17th of September.—
But seeing how nicely it operated on my broth
er, I got a. beetle of Rhodes' . Fever and. Ague
Cure, which effected a permaneutcure by using
two-thirds of a bottle. . •
S. M. Conklin was not here, , but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as. .
H. M's. I sold the medicine to both the ramie
day, and the cure was as speedy from the same
small quantity, andl :night so specify. Yours
with respect, A. HUNTINGTON.
The above sneaks for itself. Good proof as'
it is, it is of no Latter tenor than the vast num
ber of like certificates I have already published,
and the still greater amount that is continual
lypouring in upon me.
One thing more. Ltat.year I had occasion
to caution the public in these words:
"'notice onefirm who hare taken ens ray
L
general circulars, substituted the name o their
nestrunsformy medicine, and then with .
impudence end their pamphlet with the ezda.
matron, 'Let theproprietor of any other wadi,
tine say as much if he dares," &c.
Now I take pleasure in saying that tha cau
tion referred to the same "Dr. Christie's Ague
Balsam" that is mentioned in the above cer.
tifi cate.
There are several other industrious people
who are applying to their poisonous trash all
that I have published about my Fever and
Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the
certificates of cures, and the certificate of the
celebrated chemist ? Dr. James R. Chilton, of
N. Y., in favor of its perfectly hartnless char.
acter, which is attached to every bottle. This
will always serve to distinguish my medicine
from imitations.
