Shall blend their notes no more.

CERTIFICATES.

Mr.. Isaac Thompson, Sr-Having had occasion
during many years, to use Trusses for Hernias for
my patients aud for myself, am satisfied by exam
inlng and using yours, with COnical application,
cured as it is by an ingenious Spring and Lock, is
both easier to the wearer and likely to effect
permanent cures, than any other patent or other
kind with which have ever been acquainted, and
wish you sir and all those who need Trusses all the
success i'm the use of yours, which their excellent
construction is calculated to effect.
CYRUS WASIIBURN, NJ. d. g.
Vernon December, 1896,
Mr. Thompson Sir-I have not forgot my prom
Sc | made you when bought the Truss, that if il
did effect a cure | would send you a certificate.
Now sir have the satisfaction in being able to send
you a statement. In the month of March my Hernia
became so bad was unable to labor. Feeling some
alarmed about my situation | went up TO keene TO
see if Dr. Twche could do any thing TO help me.
On making my case known to him, he adv ised me to
90 to Brattleboro and get one Of Thompsons Truss
es-said il was the best he knew of, aud thought
should receive immediate relief by wearing it, |
made the application in March, and wore the Truss
about eight weeks. On examining | was satisfied
that was cured; but the truss being easy TO
kept about four weeks longer, then took II off,
and have had no occasion TO wear it since.
Respectfully yours, WILLIAM CARLTON.

season was afflicted with Hernia which became
so painful that was obliged to quit work. applied

bled to labor daily, and found no more inconven-

Truss, and have had recurrence of Hernia since.
Brdttcboro, Aug, 1896. GEO. A. HALE.
Mr. Thompson, Sr-The russes begn to 90 well,
having sold five. You say in your note by Mr.
Lewis that have no objection you wish to make
use of my name in your bills or advertisements.
Now. sir far as it of use you have it. Having
tried several trusses of various kius fonnd

to say that in my opinion lhcy will be the bles-

persons to whom it has been largely given

before they took it, knew what digestion
and nervous depression meant, only by the
description of others; but they have since
become experimentally acquainted with
both, for they now constantly complain OF
weakness and irritabillty ofthe digestive or
gnns, of frequent lownesss of spirits and
impaired strength of all which, it appears
to me they will ever be sensible. Instances
of this description abound. Many of the
victims of this practice, are aware of this
origin of their permanent indspostion, and
many more who are At present unconscious
oft, nigh, here fud, upon investigation,
sufficient cause for their seepless nights
and miserable days. We have often had every
benevolent feeling called into painful ex-
ercise, upon viewing patients already ex-
hausted by protracted illness, groaning un-
der the accumulated miserics of an active
course of mercury, and by this forever de-
pryed Of perfect restoration. A barbarous
practice, the Inconsistency, folly aud injury I
Dfwhlch no words can sufficiently describe" " (

We have President Bustsmente's first
address to Congress, but are reluctantly
compelled to omit its publication to-day
He makes no particular mention of this
country. -,
A letter from Vera Cruz ofthe 18th, pub
lished in the Bee says the country was tran
quill and much was expected from Ris'a-
mente's administration. Gomez Fares,
Pedraza and Camido, are all spoken Of as
likely to form part Of the new cabinet. The
war with Texas was to be renewed, backed
BY loan Of ten millions, two of which had
already been negotiated. This government
and its citizens were in bad odour, and i
was doubtful whether representative from
this cogniry would he recsivei.

burnt up. All the chamber maids and wo-
men employed on the boat perished. Out
of thirty-five negroes that were known to
have been on board, only two escaped alive.
The Ben Sherod had the largest crew of
any boat on the river, and by reference to
the list Of names, it will be seen tha,
out Of the fifty saved, over thirty belonged
to the boat 4; and on, of the sixty or seventy
cabIn-passengers, there are but about twelve
left alive. One of the officers of the boat
assured us, that, in addition to The cabin
passengers, there were nj least sixty or
more deck passerg gers, of whom scarce six
are saved.
Altogether, this has been one of the most
serious disasters that has happened in the
annals of Mississippi steamboats, there be-
ing at least one huHdred and fifty families
deprived by il of some dear aud beloved
member-over one hundred beings hurried
by 1t, out Of time into eternity, with scarce
moment's warning; and amongst those
who are saved, many are said To be severe
ly burnt, some SO much so that their recov-
cry is very doubtful.
We understand that three different ex-
plosions took place on board the boat,
whilst burning-frst, barrels of whiskcy,
brandy, &c, then The boilers blew up with
a fearful explosion, and lastly, tlNrty-nihe
barrels of gunpowder exploded, which
strewed the surface of the river with fragi
nents.
A large quantity Of specie was in the boat
on its way to the Tennessee Banks, which
was lost; one gentleman placed his pocket
book, containing thirty EIGHT thousand col
lars, under his pillow and though he es-
capped with life, he lost all his money. A
great many more persons, on board, had
very large amounts of money with them,
the most, or all, OF which, in the confusion
was lost.
! "Thefe were two distinct explosions
one supposed 10 be the boilers, and the
other TO be from quantity of powder on
board. A passenger on board the Colum-
bus describes the sceue as the most awfu
he ever witnessed. The screams of men
women, aud children, pierced the air fol
miles around, while in the bright light ,ha
went up from the waters, the hanging form.
of the poor wretclIes, as they ciupg cor
vulsively to the burning sides of tire boat
struck the deepest anguish into the heart o
the spectator" ,
A steamer arrived at New Orleans saw
the wreck, near Fort Adams, blown tt
atoms, and fragments yet on fire, covereS
the Mississippi for great distance below
the scene Of disaster.
The Mr.. Smith who was saved was o
the firm of Newhouse & Co of Mobile. Hi
wife jumped overheard with one Of tn,
children. He followed aud was so for.
tunate as to procure plank, by means o.
which the lives of all three were preserved
They were, however, about two hours in
the water, and drifted down the river 81,
miles before they reached the shore. They
arrived in Mobile on the 10Th.
