Old Times.
The Rev. Mr. Fox, of Newberryport,
in an old paper, wrtten in 1828 to a friend
gave a familiar sketch of the manner
and habits of the good people of Boston
nearly a century ago. The following is
that part which describes the dress of a
couple as they ware arranged for mar
riage:
"To begin with the lady ; her long
locks were strained upward over an im
mense cushion, that sat like an incubus
on her head, and then plastered over with
pomatum, and sprinkled over with a
shower of white powder. The height of
this tower was somewhat over a foot.—
One single white rosebud lay on the sum
mit,
like an eagle on a hay stack. Over
her neck and bosom was folded a lace
handkerchief, fastened in front by a bos- !
em pin, rather larger than n dollar, con
sisting of your grandfather's miniature,
set in virgin gold. Her airy form was
braced up in a stain dress the sleeves
tight as the natural skin to the arm, with
a waist formed by a bodice worn outside
from whence the skirt flowed off and
was distended at the ancles by an ample
hoop. Shoes of white ktdd, with peak
ed toes, and heels two or three inches in
elevation, enclosed her feet, glittered
with spangles as her little pedal mem
bers peered curiously out.
"Now for the swain. Your grand
father slept, in an arm chair the night
before his wedding, lest the arrangment
of his perieranium, which had been un
der the hands of a barber the whole af
ternoon, should be disturbed. His hair
was sleeked back and plentifully bellow
ered, while his cue projected like the
handle of a skillet. His coat was of a
sky blue silk, lined with yellow; his
long vest of white satin, embroidered
with gold lace; his breeches of the same
material, and tied at the knee with pink
ribbons. White silk stockings and
pumps with clocks and ties of the same
hue, completed the habiliments of his
neither limbs. Lace ruffles clustered
around his wrists, and a portentions frill
worked in correspondence, and bearing
the miniature of his beloved, finished
his truly genteel appearance.
PREACHING.—An amusing specimen of
'individuality' in language was lately
mentioned to us by an entertaining
friend. A man in an eastern city, some.
what noted for wrestling, sparring, and
other physical feats, having been per
suaded to enter a church on the Sabbath,
and 'sit out' a long doctrinal discourse,
was asked, on retiring after the service,
what he thought of the sermon. "Think"
said he, "why, iG I couldn't preach a bet
ter sarmant than that with one hand tied
behind rie, you can take my hat!"—

Severe Case ofDyspepsia.
From R. P. STOW, Esq., asst. Clerk
U. S. House Representatives.
Warta trrotoN , D. C., June 15,1846.
Bit. Ono. B. GREEN :--Dear Sir—l feel it nor
only a pleaeur e, but a duty, to make known to
you and to the public, (if you desire it.) the sur
prising effects of the " Oxygenated Bitters," ih
relieving me from that most discouraging disor
der, Dyspepsia. I have been afflicted for about
seventeen years with the usual attendant symp
toms, viz: constipation of the bowels, headache,
pain in the chest, flatulence acidity of the stom
ach, and severe nausea ; and for months at a time
not the least particle of moisture would appear
on the surface of the chest or limbs, and most
of the time I was extremely bilious. I have used
various remedies, have been strict in my diet,
have been dosed with calomel and emetics day
after day by physicians, but all to no gucd pur
pose. Hearing of the wonderful effects of the
"Oxygenated Bitters," in the cure of Dyspepsia,
I procured some as a last resort , have used four
Mottles of the roedici, e, and find the had symp
toms all removed, and myself once more in the
enjoyment of health. None but the Dyspeptic
sufferer, who has felt a , l the horrors of the dis
ease, can at all appreciate the value of the medi
cine. I most sincerely hope that all will make
trial of the medicine, and with me be able to re
joice in the return of health.
Lady Cured of Neuralg - ia.

WINDSOR, Vt.,Aug.f1,1846.
DEAR Stn:—lt gives me great pleasure to in
form you that the Oxygenated Bitters," with
which you furnished my wife, has wrought a
cure in her case. About two years since, my
wife was violently attacked with neuralgia in
the face, through the chest, in the wrists and
ankles. So violent was the disease, added to a
general derangement of the female system, that
her strength was completely prostrated, her flesh
wasted, and she rendered miserable indeed. I
feel grateful for the restoration of her health, and
in duty bound to give pulfficity to the above
facts, that others similarly afflicted may know
where to seek for cure. Truly your friend,
THOMAS KIDDER.
From Hon. JIIYRO✓V' LJIWRE✓V'CE,
of Mass.
"For some twenty years I had suffered severe.
ly from huinoral Asthma. I was compelled to
sit up one-third of the night, and the rest of the
time my sleep was interrupted by violent fits of
coughing and great (Lille, liy of breathing. In
all my attendance upon our Courts I never went
to bed in Northampton in twenty years but twice,
and then was compelled to get up. Now I lie
in bed without difficulty, and sleep soundly. I
took the " Oxygenated Bitters," according to
directions. The violent symptoms immediately
abated, and perseverance in the nee of the rem
edy has removed all its troublesome consequen
ces. Fhe value of such a remedy is incalculable,
and I hope its virtues may be widely diffused and
its beneficent agency extensively employed."

THE GREAT CURE
CIIAS. G. JOHNSON,
of Bristol.
Who was pronounced incurably fixed vi
the last stage of Pulmonary Con
sumption, by two skillful Phy
sicians.
Mr. Johnson was rescued from death's loot
by the use of Schneck's Pulmonio Syrup—bay:
in; been prostrated all winter. His case was
witnessed by several of the most respectable"
citizens of this state, whose names are append
ed to his certificate. Read ! Read ! and be con=
rinsed that Schneck'a Pulmonary Syrup is the
only certain cure for Consumption.
Bristol, Bucks county, Pa.
rapt. 21,1840.
Dn. J. H. Scritexcg, —DearStr,—l am induced
from a sense of justice totearda you, as well ai
duty to the public, to make known one of the'
most hopeless and extraordinary cures, in nig
own persoll,,that you have ever had the pleasure
to record. Indeed, I regret my inability to poi;
tray, in truthful colors, my consuming (license;
and the remarkable chance which Schneck'S
Pulmonary Syrup effected in so short a time,
I was taken some time pravious to December
1848, with a hedvy cold, producing incessiint
coughing, accompanied with acute pain in the
right side, pains in the back, under the right
shoulder, having heavy night sweats, high fevers'
&c., which made me so nervous and restless as'
to produca utter prostration. AII these afflictions'
increased with such violence, that on the 4th of
January last I sent for my family physician. He
attended me faithfully, and prescribed every thing
that medical skill could suggest, but without ef
fect. I found myself gradually growing wise,
and my hopes of recovery lessening as my dis-'
ease increased. My ceugh became distressing ;•
my pains severe; and, extremely debilitated, I
lost all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan
choly depression. My physician examined me.
and informed me I had an abseils on the upper
part of my liver and lower part of one of my lungs.
Notwithstanding all this chill, I grew worse, but
with that tenacity with which we all cling to life,
I concluded to leave nothing undone, and called
in a consulting physician, who fully concurred
with my own, and pronounced my case an ex
tremely critical one. He thought I was in im
minent danger--saying my disease "was one that
is seldom if ever cured." All this time I was en
during sufferings that mode life burdensome ; ex
periencing great pain in coughing ; expectora
ting from a pint to a quart of nauceous matter
Avery 24 hours, and gradually sinking under the
Weakning progress of my disease. At this stage•
of my illness, my friends in Bristol suggested
the use of Schneck's Pulmontc Syrup. but know
ing the many expedients resorted to for the pur
pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes
itated. My friends, however, insisting, I was
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenced
taking the Syrup about the first of March, end
used several bottles before I had any confidence
in it. I then began to experience a change for
the better, and continued it till I had consumed
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Schneck in Philadelphia. Ijo
examined me, and pronounced my right lung af
fected, but in a healing con lition. He recom
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I:
continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found'
myself once more restored to health. I will fur
ther add, that the consulting physician, seeing ther
action of the medicine, fully approved its see.
To give the reader some idea of the severity
ofmy case, and the rapid cure affected by the'
Syrup, I will stole that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which was finally re
duced by my sufierings to but 121 pound.. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) I weigh
ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the
short space of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulars
of the agonizing afflictions through which I hems
passed ; but to those who will take the trouble to
call on me , at Bristol, opposite Pratt'. hotel, I
shall take pleasure in detailing ivory particular,
In conclusion, I deem it my duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premonitory
symptoms of this fatal di,ease, not to delay one
hour, but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately.
His skill in the treatment of this complaint, and
prompt detection of diseased parts of the lungs
by means of his Stetheacope, added to my own
I mireeu ous cure, fully satisfies me, that hod I ear-•
1 tier submitted myself to his care, I should have
escaped much suffering; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion, which make us all naturally Act,-
tical in regard to the virtues of a medicine when.
first introduced. I resisted the importunities of
my friends ti II almost too late ; and yielded only
as it last resort, resolved to " kill or cure." To
those afflicted as I hove been, again let me way,
hesitate no longer, my own case is presented to
you as convincing evidence, that when all else'
fails your lasi hope is in Dr, Schneck's Pulmonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may be strangers to me. appended to this cer.,
tificate the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and' private life, .d whose
standing in society admits of uo cavil or doubt in ,
regard to their testimony. .
CHARLES G. JOHNSON.
We the undersigned, residents of Bristol ante
vicinity, ore well acquainted with Mr. Johnson.
and know him to hove been afflicted as he states
above. We also know that lie used Schneck'a
Pulmonic Syrup, and have every reason to be-
lieve, that to this medicine he owes his preserve- ,
tion from a premature grave. The known in
tegrity and posi'ion in society of Mr, Johnson r
however is a eufficient guarantee to the public olr
the truth of this statement.
