PAUL JASON'S HAEK.
TLe orerlaod tuail coach was dragging its
way hlowly alotig through the blinding and
drifting t-now over tho vast plains of Colo
rado. It had reached a point or ranche,
then known a l'ule Creek Rauc-he, situated
upon the southern ba:ik of the I'iatte River
perhaps forty or iilty miles above Fort Sedg
wick. When it halted, darkness had fully set in.
The ranchman eauie out with Lis light, and
the weary passengers were about to leave
t'efir cramped petitions, when that terrible
suuud. the war-whoop of the Sioux, broke
t';c sti'!ne:-s ot'the uilit ; and in an instnut
:.i:er, lifty dusky forms were seen dajLiiig
to and fro, brandishing their tomahawks,
and cutting down ull who came in their way.
TLe e aeh had been crowded with passeu
!r., about half f whom were women.
TIiL-re were aI.o two infants in the party.
Fathers fought desperately ; but they fell,
although they soid their lives dearly. The
f itard appeared almost invincible ; but they
vrt-reoi:iy two in number, and they did not
loiit; "urvive. The ranchmen proved them
.leivei uo cowards ; but they, too, were soon
numbered whh fhc d3d.

"i : one of those -horrible sccjO.-n of revelry
ovi-r the burning jii.'e and arouud i he sea't
t i iie':d iiil'owtd.
For some time after the coach La-1 left
lV;t 5t'dgwi-k Station, it had been elo-ely
f I'owcd by a ttau:, con-i-ung of a common
w.igon, covered with cauvass, which was
drawn by a pair of mules. B:it as the road
b.-.-auie heavier with snow drifts, the email
aniuiit! could tot keep pace with the six
fi:.e sure horses, and to they were left ifl
t'ie iia-k triiUiid.
The -eeond wasrou was occupied by three
pe--o;;s a rjan of twenty-five, a nom&u who
e .ui-J not have b-ea over seventeen or e;gh
l -.-n y-5.is -f ace, and an itifant.
k. they found that they 'could not keep
pa :e with the stage, the womau said, and

' I can't tell well. Cat from the distance

"And three days more wJl bring us to

y.-uiis uiau at once turned the heads 1
ii:Lik.-s over the blu.fs and awry from the j
river. Then came a weary ride of two hours, ,
c.-ni'ig which time a clone lookout was kept
kr a light. At length one was discovered,
:md Hearing it, the party found thcmselvts
t th- foot of a steep bluff or mouctaiu, and
w!.i'-h, unlike the other portions of the
couiitry, appeared to be very thickly wood
el. leaving his team, together with his
wife and child, almost entirely concealed by
the overhanging branches of a tree, he be
gin his difieult ascent, for the purpose of
a'certaining what the light he saw meant.
In fifteen minutes he was within a few feet
ofthe place. He was satisfied that the
glimmer did not come from a cabin ; nnd as
near as he could calculate, it came from a
vocky cave.
Up to this time the young man felt pure
that he had not made the least noise, for
the snow was soft. Neither could he well
be seen, for the snow which covered his cn;
tire person rendered him of the same color
as everything around. And yet he heard a
dog growl, and then a voice say :
' Keep yer distance, Injun. Tcte an' me
I is just as ready for a serimaxe as we was
this afternocn. Keep yer distance."
"I am not an, Indian, but a benighted
traveler," returned the young man. "I
saw this light, and I did not know but it
proceeded iiom the fire in some white set
tler's cabin."
"I knew l'ete didn't smell Injun, or lie
would be niakin a bigger fu.s than that.
But wait, and I'll be thar and show you the
way inter my Sebastopool. "
In a moment the hunter stood by the side
of the young man, and bending clo.e to his
face, he appeared to be satisfied. The don
had his smell, and agreed with his master
that the matter was right. A few words of
explanation passed, and the old hunter ex
claimed :
"Oh! got a wifo on' baby, eh? Lord
love 'em ! we can't leave 'em duwu thar
freezin' J"
And away he went down lha hill at such
a rapid rats that the traveler found it im
possible to keep pace with him. When he
did arrive, he found that his mules had
been fed with the remainder of the proven
der loft in the wagon, and that the old man
was returning, carrying the baby in Lin
arms, and conducting the wife.
The warm fire was readied. It was built
just outside a small cave, and surrounded
by sharp, broken rocks, which had evident
ly fallen from above.
The traveler told their story of the
burning ratuhe; aud then the old man sta
ted that he had been chafed into Fremont's
Butte, (the came of this pea!;,) and had
fought with the Indians from his present
position only a few hours before, lie then
added :
"I believe that there's a lot of 'cm skulk
ing around' yet. At all events, I think it's
bcit to wait here f r a short tini'j.tst to sse
what will turn up. Are you afeared of fire,
stranger?"
"When they attack us you may judge for
yourself," answered the young man smiling.
1 'That's good. You've brought blankets
lie down an' s!e?p, au' I'll do the me.
Pete, my dog, here, can smell an Injin a
mile off. He'll give the alarm if there's
any danger."
The .travelers were wc-nry, and they slept
soundly, warmed as they w;re by the cher-r-fu!
fire. Put near daylight they were arous
ed by the furious ha; king of the dog. The
j'Oiing n:aa rprang to bis;f?et, and seized his
rifte3ii revolvers. JId.foLUu4t.be oJd hun
ter already up. who leveled his rifle and fired
into tho locks above, aud immediately a sav
age came whirling through the air, uttering
wil l yelis, and V1I into the very centre of
the hunter's stronghold. The dog immedi
ately ,-eizrd hici as he would have done a rat
and shook him until the wretch ceased to
struggle or groan. .
Occaiotiid'y a savage hea l would appear
a'tovethe ro'.ks, au.i a shot from the old
man's gun was sure to crack the cranium of
the red-kbi so venturing. At every shot
the hunter would say:
"There's old Paul's mark for you."
Presently there v.!::c arcries of unearthly,
yells, and not loss thnn twenty savages came
tearing over Use roe
ick into the circle.
The
hunter shouted :
' Club you- r'ifb;, strangor- fight like the
devil now's your time!" and he set the
example by commencing the attack in a
most fttrioui manner.
NV.t less than half a dozen red stins fell
under l.is terrible blows, and then he looked
around him in evident surprise that there
W23 no longer a foe to finhl. lie there aw
over twenty d-ad bodies before him.
"How ; t-Ids, eti atigcrV" he said, looking
at the dcid Sioux.
"Tho work of my revolver," ri'iietly re
sponded ihe young man.
"Oh! then you're got a brace of six
shooters?"
"No, one seven and one seventeen shoot
er." "Thunder! Let's start at once. We'll
face all the red-skins we meet in Colorado."
The party left their stronghold, when
another fight took place with some twenty
other savages, half of their number falling.
The others, hearing the shots continue,
believed that they were attacked by over
whelming numbers and fled. The old man
loaded his rifle, and mads a last shot at a
savage who could not have been less than
twelve hundred yards off. The Indian fell
aud the hunter exclaimed :
"There's old Paul's mark again."
"What is your other name?" asked the
lady traveler, approaching him.
"Paul Jason is my name, please you,
ma'am."
""Then there's Lucy Morton's mark!"

0l'i hunter, aud kUsing his bronzed lips.
The nutter started his eyes.

"No, no. You don't mean to say that
you arc my little Lucy, that was married to
a man named Charley Morton, what's got a
baby au' cumin' out to Denver to live in my
new brick house?"
"Yes. I am the same."
The old hunter embraced his child, kissed
the baby fifty times, and then, turning to
Charley he said, as he took him ly both
hands:
"By thunder, stranger uo, I mean Char
leyif my Lucy hadn't married you, I never
would have forgiven her, for yer jest about
the bravest little chap, an' the best Injin
fighter, for a greenhorn, that I ever did see.
By thunder, but I shall be proud of you."
-j The mules had not been molested, and the
balance of the journey to Denver was per
formed in safety. And the old man never
was happier than when introducing his soil
in law, and telling of their great Indian
fight, always making Charley the hero.
Altoona District M. E. Church "Sunday
Scliool Convention.
The Convention met in the 31. E. Church
in Ilollidaysburg, Tuesday, June 7,1870, at
10 o'clock, A. M.
Rev. J. S. McMarray was elected chair
man, John G. Love, Secretary, and llev.
W. II. Noreross, Assistant Secretary.
The Sunday Schools of the following
charges were represented by one or more
delegates, including many ministers of the
District.
Allegheny,' Altoona 1st Charge, Ilollidays
burg, Duncan.sville, Martinsburg, Williams
burg, Logan's Valley, Howard, Bellefoute,
Half Moon, Clearfield Station, Clearfield
Circuit, Warriorsmaik, Glen Hope and Os
ceola. On motion it was resolved that all friends
of the Sabbath School work, who are pres
ent, be invited to take part in the business
of the Convention.
The morning session was occupied with
reports from the Schools represented. The
first rpuestion for discussion was, "At what
sfge may we, with proper religious instruc
tion, expect the conversion of our children,"
was taken up in the beginning of the after
noon session, aud alter a number of earnest
remarks by several ministers and laymen, it
was "resolved, that according to the teach
ings of the Bible, we may expect the con
version of children at a very early age, and
therefore School Teachers, even including
those having charge of the infant classes,
should direct all their efforts to this conver
sion and christian training."
The second question, "What is successful
teaching and what is the secret of success,"
was discussed in an impressive manner by
several, among whom was the S. S. agent
from New York, llev. J. S. Ostiauder.
The hour for adjournment having come
the question was laid over until Wednesday
morning.
Tuesday evening was appointed for the
Annua! Sermon by llev. J. Mullin, of Belle
foute. It was truly an abb; production. The
stirring eloquence of the Hct. gentleman
doubtless made imprevsions lasting as life
itself. Ili text was Psalms 144 : 12.
After the sermon, Kc-v. J. S. Ostrander
entertained the audience with a forcible ad
dress on the importance of the Sabbath
School work, and the nature, object, and
workings of the Sunday School Union.

of a resolution appointing the next meeting
of the Convention on the 4th Tuesday of
May, 1S71, at Clearfield, Pa., the discus
sion of the question of yesterday was resum
ed, and the following resolution adopted:
. JtaoltfJ, That successful teaching is ihut,
and that only, that reaches its end the con
version of the soul and the training of it
for God and Heaven, and that the secret ol
success lies in the Mill consecration of the
teacher to God and the work."
On motion, llev. J. S. Ostrander proceed
ed to illustrate by black board, the best means
of Sunday School teaching, showing the re
quirements of the model teacher in a very
instructive manner. '
The question, "How far tu.iy children and
youth be employed in the advancement of
Christ's Kingdom?" was then taken up,
and ally discussed by Rev. J. D, Brown, of
India, and others, when the question wa.
decided by tha adoption of the following
resolution :
Kesr.lrf.l, That children and youth may
he employed in the enlargement of Christ's
Kingdom in mauy ways, therefore it is the
duty of every parent, pastor and teacher to
encourage them to devote their time and
talent to this end.
Quite a plcas:nt discussion by Hcv. Mr.
Blair of the U. Presbyterian church of In
diana, and others, was carried on on the
question, "What is the reflex operation of
Sabbath School instruction upon the person
al piety of the teacher;" but (he hour fixed
lor adjournment eaiue betore a resolution
was adopted.
The afternoon was appointed for a Chil
dren's meeting. This was, to many, the
best meeting of the entire session, llev. J.
D. Brown, in a very pleasant manner, told
many things about the children of India,
and sang a couple of hymns in the language
of the heatens. Stirring addre.-ei by Ilev's
J. H. M'Cord, J. Fester Bell and J. S. Os
trander, i nter-pcrsed with many beautiful
Sunday School Songs by the sweet-voiced
children, constituted an entertainment that
will not soon be forgotten. After passing
resolutions of thanks to the people and pas
tor of Ilollidaysburg for their hospitality,
Bev's J. D. Brown and J. S. Ostrander for
thcir'prescnee and assistance, and llev. J.
Mullin for the annual sermon, tha Conven

of Blessing" and the Dox'ology, and all were
dismissed with benediction by llev. J. S.
Ostrander. W. II. Norcross,
Ass' t Secretary.
Tnti Annexation of British Columbia,
fo the DoniinlCP f Canada, is now under
consideration, but a principal difficulty in
the vi av of the union teem! to le the expense
of establishing- communication across the
continent. The plan presented to the Do
minion contains provision of a political and
financial character, and also a special clause
biuding the Dominion within three years
to construct and open a coach road, from
some point on the main trunk road of the
Colony of Columbia, to Fort Garry, and also
to use all means to complete a railroad to the
Pacific. This plan will require an annual
expenditure of $1,000,000. It is believed
that unless the Diminion agrees to this pro
position, British Columbia will in process
of time be aunexed to the United States.

ADDEESS OF C-OVEENOS GEAST.
To the Freemen of Pennsylvania.
Fellow-Citizens : In receiving the
various testimonials of confidence which
have been conferred upon me by tho people
of my native State, I am deeply sensible of
the circumstances, under which they have
been bestowed, and of the corresponding
duties and responsibilities imposed upon
me duiing the fulfillment of my term of the
Chief Kxecutive office in your State Gov
ern incut. Notwithstanding a heart anima
ted with pure and upright intentions towards
the welfare of the Commonwealth, and with
all the faculties allotted to me unceasingly
devoted to its service, I feel deeply con
scious that I stand in need of your indul
gence, while I thus exercise one of the pre
rogatives of the position cf Governor to
address the people, when in his opinion, he
is justified by circumstances affecting their
welfare and interests ; and to expect from
them an honest, candid and liberal support
in return.
With such circumstances now before the
people of Pennsylvania, I feci that I would
be recreant to my duty, ungrateful to the
generous people, aud untrue to myself, if I
should fail to express to you my opinions
upon a subject of public concern, which de
mands from you immediate attention and
prompt, intelligent and independent ac
tion. '1 he inviolability of the Sinking Fund by
which your public debt is to be reduced and
finally extinguished, must be maintained
against all attacks upon it, whether open or
secret ! A public debt is not a blessing but
an evil ! an evil not to be measured by the
amount of the direct pecuniary burden it
imposes upon the people, but by its whole
effect, the entire amount of all its conse
quences. These consequences have been
pointed out so fully by tbe lather of the
republic, and by the most reliable writers
upon poiitisal economy; and a conviction of
them, is so deeply impressed oa the minds
of all reflecting men, that I need not recap
itulate them ; nor insist even upon their
existence.
The State debt must be paid paid hon
estly and to the utmost farthing, and as
soon as it can reasonably be done to this
doctrine I am irrevocably pledged in eery
possible manner and the credit of the State 1
must be kept up to its highest point, in or
der that this important object may be most
readily accomplished. No belief or suspic
ion of bad faith cr of profligacy, on our part
should be permitted to get abroad or to de
rive the slightest support or countenance
from the conduct of our government in any
of its brandies. It 6bou!d he understood
everywhere that we have n incorruptible
and faithful judiciary ; a Legislature and an
Kxecutive disposed to work together, and to
co operate heartily in maintaining the honor
of the Commonwealth.
The operation of the Sinking Fund was
temporarily interrupted, or rather weaken
ed, by the recent war, but by the blessing
of Heaven upon the patriotic efForts of tho
nation, the days of peace have returned.
There can now be no excuse for diverting
from that fund any of the mouics pledged
to it by the Constitution and the laws, nor
for tampering in any manner with its regu
lar kduiiuintration.
But it is knowu to you that a bold and
daring attempt was made in the Legislature
during ys la't session, to invade the Treas
ury and seize the proceeds of the sale of
the public works of tho State, deposited
there, iu the Sinking Fund, for the use of
certain affiliated corporations of this Com
monwealth, and that that attempt was de
feated only by the interposition of the Ex
ecutive reto. This was to me an ungracious
and unpleasant task, to resist the majority
in tho Legislature composed of Senators and
Representatives chosen by you, under the
regular forms of tho Constitution, presuma
bly for their intelligence and integrity ; and
it was inexpedient, perhaps, as a question
of personal interest and ease, that I should
incur the hostility of powerful enemies by
the course adopted. But I $aw before me
the open path of duty, pointed out by
the clear words of the Constitution and by
my oath of office ; and I did not hesitate to
treat the subject with the firmness and ac
tion which the urgency of the case required.
Tke hill to distribute the securities in the
Sinking Fund among several newly incorpo
rated railroad companies, and to .substitute
for them very inferior, if not utterly worth
less obligations, was sent to me only on the
day next preceding the final adjournment of
the Legislature, although it had passed both
Houses about two weeks before. Borrow
ins time from the usual hours of test, I was
enabled, the next morning, to return the
bill with mv objections to the House in
which it orisinated. There its further con
sideralion was postponed, and no final judg
loent upon it was pronounced. It stand,
now among the open questions which may
be revived at a future session. It may
again bs introduced and passed next winter,
or at anv gahseqnent time, without any em
barrassment from any prior decision of eith
er House against it. And if .the member
ship of both Houses shall be so made up, at
any time that a two-third vote for the pttas
ure can be obtained in each, its enactment
into a law will become certain, and the bur
den of your taxes will be inevitably increas
ed and prolonged..
An Executive veto is in tho nature of an
appeal to the people, to enable them to pass
upon controverted questions involving grave
considerations of public policy or safety,
Upon a question of this kind, iu which eve
ry man, woman and child in the Common
wealth is interestei, this great prerogative
of the Executive, conferred by the Consti
tution, should be fearlessly exercised, Is
not this such an occasion ? Is not the sub
ject to be considered vitally important? Is
it not urgent that you should determine it
for yourselves, in the selection of men to
represent you in the Legislature pf 1871 ?
By this as it may, this question ia in fact
submitted for your judgment. Tho issue
upon it was distinctly and openly made at
the last session between the Legislature and
the Executive, and that issue is now before
you for arbitrament, and you should instruct
yonr representative, in each and every coun
ty, in accordance with your wishes and de
termination upon this important subject.
"Should you, by your indifference to the
question, or by a careless and uncalculating
choice of the persons to represent you iu
the Legislature, encourage and strengthen
the combination of men who desire and
threaten to invade your treasury, rest as
sured that the vast sum now sacredly devo
ted to the payment of the publio debt will
be seized aud carried olf.
The Dine and a half millions of dollars of
securities in that fund, with all the interest
to accrue thereon, will be robed away from
the people's Treasury ; the State credit will
ba prostrated ; your taxes will be increased,
and your Executive will be impotent to help
you. If, on the contrary, alive to your in
terests and honor, you sustain the appeal
sent to you from the Executive Chamber,
and you are now about to select your tandi
dates for Representatives, you should de
termine to reaffirm, with emphasis, the
command of the Constitution, that "no part
of the said Sinking Fund shall be used or
applied otherwise than in the extinguish
ment of the public debt," you will strike a
just, severe and timely blow at corrupt leg
islation and protect yourselves against griev
ous pecuniary loss.
The lesson will not be lost. Its salutary
effect will be great and lasting. Both for
the present and the future will it improve
the tone of public morals, repress the un
blushing effrontery and corruption of the
lobby ; curtail the influence of arrogant cor
porations; and secure the sincere commen
dation of all good and patriotic men.
The assault upon the treasury in the pas
sage of the nine and a half million bill, tho'
i most conspicuous eza uple of the evil
influences of corporations upon the Legisla
te, is not the only one. It possesses pre
eminent importance, but it does not stand
alone. Then, fellow citizens, has not the
the time come for determining the question
of title to sovereign power in this Common
wealth ? Is that power a rightful and inde
feasible estate of the people, or does it reside
in the incorporated companies created by
our laws? Will you, with your eyes open,
consciously surrender the control over your
own representatives, and give your consent
that corporations shall decide your laws?
Shall your government, be pure, patriotic
and just, true to yourselves and true to
sound principles of administration ; or shall
it be tho instrument of corporate ambition
and avarice, and an object of public jest,
ridicule and reproach ? . Or, in other words,
hall corporation! supercede the Govern
ment aud become masters of the people?
And now, my fellow citizens, with this
warning, I leave this important subject in
your hands, trusting that you will be in
spired with the will and the resolution to
defend the integrity of your Government
and to preserve unsullied the credit and the
honor of the Commmon wealth.

A lecture entitled "Self-Made," delivered
in Baltimore by Itev. John F. W. Wats,
contains some suggestive assertions, speak
ing of schools the lecturer said : "We
are not educated in them ; we do not go
educated from them. A teacher looks at a
brain as a something that he is to stuff,
very much as a cook looks at a goose, or a
butcher at a sausage ; and the stuffing must
be as various and as high epiccd. The
teacher does not teach the brain to know
and handle itself; stimulate it into an active
participant ; compel it to be but a 'higher
stomach, rejecting the bad, digesting and
assimulating the good, but demands that it
be a cormorant, swallowing all that he
chooses to force upon it Th human brain
in the years of pupilage, is much like that
net Sripture tells us of, which gathered all
things good and bad, and the child is let
cut from school and the youna man from
college without ever learning" the deepest
fundamental necessity the handling
their own intellect ; and the man enters the
world crammed to disgust under the pres
sure of prize cr punishment with the things
an educational system has patented, with a
mind more or less in chaos, more or less
starved and pinched, an alien from th
broad republic of letters, rather than a loyal
and nronerlv-cultured citizen." There is
much truth in this indictment. None un
dertand so fully the grave defeets of the
modes of instruction prevalent in ourschools
and L'l.Vkm- institutions of learning.as those
who, like this lecturer, have themselves
nn.lornvuiA for vears the forcing and stuffing
i.roeess in college. But for the literary and
,l.WinV societies which are maintained 1
j!.,..! bv the voluntary efforts of the more
ambitious, enthusiastic, and aspiring among
the students, still tewer young men tnan at
present would emerge from tho halls of
learning with really disciplined minds.
These societies afford opportunities lor
thoutrht. tor the exercise ot tne renectiv
and creative faculties, and for training in
the art of skillfully handling the crude for
wliirh a regular course of studies does
Ktrln pise than cram into the mind. In the
nnivprsitv of the" future, composition an
oi-tomnnraneous debate will be anions th
chief instrumentalities relied on for the ed

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat, and
consisting of three parts, viz; the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tie- -suea
or veins, which serve a deposit for the -urine
and convey it to tbe exterier. Tbe exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating ia tingle -tube,
and ealled the Prater. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
Tbe bladder is composed of varices coverings .
er tissues, divided into parte, via: the Upper, tke
Lower, the Nervous, and the Muooaa. The apter
expel, the lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinats without the ability, ethers mrlnate with
out tho ability to retain. This frequently ocean-
in children.
To cure these affections, we mnst bring Into ac
tion the niescifcj, which are engaged in their va-.
rieus functions. If they era neglectod,QraveI or
Drrp;y nay ensue.
The reader mast also he made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it it sure to affect,
the bodily health and mental powers, as oar flesh,
and blood are supported from these soirees.
Gorr.oR Rhxckatisii . Piio eecarriag In the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to' acid stomach and .
chalky eoneretiens.
- Tbc Gbatii.. The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys These or
gans baieg weak, tbe water it net expelled from
the bladder, bnt allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It It from this de
posit that the stone is formed, asd gravel ensues.
Dnorsv it a collection of water ia rome parts of
the body, and bearsfdiffbrent names, according to
the parts affected, vix: when generally diffused
over the hody.it is called Anasarca ; when of the
Aldonta, Ascites', when of the oh est, Hydrotho

H. T, Hi!LnoLD, Druggist:
Dkac Sir: I bar been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty yean, with gravel, blcdder and kidney
affeetloBS, during which time I have used varioo
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment ef tbe roost eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen your preparation) extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to using your Extract Dacha.
I did this because I bad used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and aoiue quiio injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting wtll, and determined to use no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that proraptod me to ase your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of bucbu,
tubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and,
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
vi ith his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and consulting again with the druggist, t
concluded to try it. I commenced it ase about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the rst bottle I was astonish
ed and gratlGed at the beuefiuial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felf
much like writing jou a full statement of my case
at that time, but tho ught my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded to
defer and tee if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value lo you,
and more satisfactory to mo.
I am now able to report that a cure it effected
after ufing the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months, aa4
feel as well in alt respects as I ever did.
Ycur Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
taste and odor, a vice tenie and invigoratorof tho
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require Us use in such affections.
