Sir My son having been afflicted for five years
with white swelling, and having applied every RENE
! dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
within nv reach without success at length procured
one jug of DR. Judkns' Pntent Specific Ointment and
made the application according to the directions sc-
companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit
of the afflicted that before one jug used, aperect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health
ever since have no doubt that to the Ointment alone
he is Indebted, for nothing else was used for more
than nine months before the application of the Clint
ment. Respectfully, JOHN COOKE

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession Of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and we'll
set He wore brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years Of age, as we'll as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has drawing manner of talking.
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was
blue cloth cap, grey great coat and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
four-pence-halfpenn She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markably long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone Of her eyes
an lncision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.
