Ut. JANE,
Dear Sir:-You ask me what proofs | meet
with ofthc efficacy Of your medicine. cal. ,atc-
ly say that never prescribed Il medicine for
Bowel Complaints than has given me so much
satisfaction, and my patients speedy and per-
feet relief as this Whenever introduced into Il
family, it becomes a standing remedy for those
ailments, and is called for again and again, which
| think Il pretty good proof of its efficacy and
usefulness. In the Summer Complaint of chill
drcn it has frequently appeared to snatch the lit
tic victims, AZ it were, from the grave. sit sa-
we'd the life of my child, and of such and such a
child, hpvc repeatedly heard said. In dysen-
sric affections of adults, have time and again
cen it act like chunn, and give permanent re-
lief i'll a few hours, | may say in Il few minutes.
In fine, it is valuable medicine, and no family
should be without it. Respectfully

For many years, whilst engaged in the prac-
flee of my profession, have frequently observed
much injury done from the improper admins
tration of medicine, with view to expel worms
from the human system; and that at time when
the little sufferer very unable to bear such
harsh treatment; giving drastic, and quite too nc.
tive purgatives, worm teas, &c. &c. which Oft
times will produce great suffering, and lay the
foundation for disease which would be much
more difficult TO eradicate than that produced BY
Worms.
1t is much to be regretted that thousands are
swept Off or rendered weak, pale, and einucia-
ted, in their early stages of existence, and their
constitutions undermined, and foundation laid
for pulmonary diseases, &c. Sc. entirely from I'M
proper treatment Worms being especially La
BILE to nhabit persons of debllitacd digestive or
gans. and those of weak constitution therefore
much mischiefis often done by the ordinary mode
of treating, generally consists of tn
most active purgatives; and further, it has been
proved by actual experiment, that Worms will
exist for long time, even when they are thrown
into solution of most Of the common prepare
iions which used for the destruction of those
animals; whereas, it has been as fully proven that
in the preparation which offer to the public,
called ''Dr. Swaynes Vcrmituge," they cannot
exist for any length of time, but sickcn dwin-
anu uc, pass VII iioii lilc buuy WIFI lllc
stools and other offensive matter necessary to be
discharged giving new and healthy action to
the whole Alimentary Canal, and all without the
least inconvenience to the sufferer
Worms are capable of producing great distur-
bance in the system; not only do they aggravate
all ordinary diseases, but they also give rise to
great variety of very alarming and anomalous
affections. Indeed, the whole train ofspasmodic
and convulsve diseases, may proceed from the
irritation of Worms in the Aim entary Canal
Cholera, Epilepsy, Catclepsy, Tctanus, Paralysis,
Mania, and Commissions, as well as variety of
Nervous Affections, are not unfrequently the CT
feet of this cause.

ORIGIN OF THE LIFE MEDICINES
The reader may not perhaps be aware that the
origin of Moiiat's Life AlcGines was the result Il
protractcd and painful illness OF their origina-
tor, Mr.. JONI M0FrAT. When taken i'll, Mr.. NJ
WI; prosperous and hourislling merchant in the
lower part of the city; and having consulted and
employed number of our most skillul physicians
he, after months of suffering, was prevailed upon
to purchase the rcG pc Of the invaluable vcgeta-
Bile preparation now offered to the public
The effect of the Life Medicines in his own
case was so singular and remarkable, that lie i'm
mcdiatcly determined to offer to the world a med
cinc to which he not only owed his life, but his
happiness. The uniform SUCCESS which has since
attended their administration in every instance.
where fair trial has been given them, has been
attestcd by thousands, and ncontcstibly proves
their intrinsic merit.
THE LIFE MEDICINEs-GENEPAL RE
MARKS.
These medicines arc indebted for their name
tothclr manifest and sensible action in purifying
the springs and channels Of life, & enduring them
with renewed tone and vgor, s. to the undoubtcd
iact that at very early period in their history they
rescued sufferers from the very verge of an ul-
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums o.
the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly
''~'' "a ""' N'''a wv IcIilldlelllV st.
cured that uniform enjoyment ofhcalth, without
which life tscltis but partial blessing. So gr,a,
cedind had their efficacy invariably proved, that
1t was scarcely less than miraculous to those who
were unacquamted with the beautifully philosu.
phical principles upon which they were com.
pounded, and upon which they consequently act
TIE Pll(ENlN BlTTERS are so called
because they possess the power of restoring EN-
beers OF health to glowing vigor thourhout the
constitution, as the PhGnix is said to be restored
10 life from the ashes Of its own dissolution
The PhGnlX Bitters are entirely vegetable, com.
posed OF roots found only in certain parts of the
western country, which will ntallibly cure FL.
VERS AND AGUf.S of all kinds; will never
fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercu.
ry, infinitely sooner than the most powerful pre-
partitions of Sarsaparilla, and will Immediately
cure the determination of BLOOD TO THE
HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident TO uoung
females; and will be found certain remedy in al
cases of nervous debility and readiness of the mos
impaired constitutions. As remedy for Chron.
tc and Efamatory Rheumatism, the efficacy o.
the Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by tho
use of a single bottle.

AS yours has. In some cases it has effected sur
prlsng cures, and in Others has given great re-
lief after every other remedy had failed But
there Is one case that excels any have yet heard
OF. This was poor woman that has been aiilic-
ted with CONSUMPTION for several years.
and had tried every thing in vain. knowing
she was very poor yet very worthy, ] sent her
bottle gratis, which she said relieved her very
much. This circumstance was soon made known
to II religious society she belonged to, and thew
Immediately presented her with half Il dozen
bottlcs which she has also used a part Of and Is
recovering very fast. She told me few DAYS
since that she had not. felt so well for the last
year, and believed your medicine was the ONLY
thing that saved her life, &c. The same society
have purchased over thirty bottles for diiieren

ALool. a, the Century PLANT.
Editorial Correspondence.

ALBANY, Wednesday, Sept 20.
The A,ucricar Agauc, OF Century Plant, now in
blossom at the Van Rensselaer, Manor House, and
exhibited for the benefit of the Albany Orphan
Asylum, naturally attracts many visitors. vis-
lied it to-day, among hundreds and found it worth
the trouble. With the general appearance of this
plant when not in blossom the reader will ma u-
rally be acquainted, as it is found in most Botan-
ical establishments. 1t consists Of some ten to
thirty sword shaped leaues or branches, three or
four feet long three inches wide, and as thick as
mans hand, all springng out from the root to-
gether and receding more or less from their com
mon centre they grow. Out of the centre of
these, in the plant which has for sixty years been
in the possession of tho Van Rcnsselaers, a stalk
for the first time shot forth the 9Th of June last
and had attained the hight of 90 feet inches on
the 9Th inst. when it ceased growing. | should
Judge it some four inches through one foot in
circumference at the base, ,apering very little till
il has reached a length Of some fifteen feet, when
it begins to throw of stout branches. These
branches are 28 in number. some of.them three
feet long, and display each three, four or more
bnncees Of greensh yellow .fomcrs, as they maybe
termed though there is marvclously little offloral
beauty or similitsde about them The blossoms of
the Chestnut or White Ash will give better idea
Of them than those of any plant which happen
now to remember. In fact, the likeness TO the
Chestnut flower is very considerable except that
those of the Agave stand perpendicuarly up from
the branch instead of drooping depending, while
no leaf orfoliage is found upon any part OF the
stalk or branches. Some of the upper branches
are not yet expanded, while the lower are now in
full blossom. The plant is protected from tue
weather by house Of wood and glass, and un-
dersand its Towering has been hastened some years
by heat In tropical South America, of which it
is native, it blossoms in u few years. in this
climate, none have been known to flower under
forty or fifty years though do not earn,hat there
are any precise data for the popular belief that
its natural period is just century. (Of course, it
is understood that if left absolutely Nature, tile
Agave would blossom here at all.) The
precise age of this is not known, it was
bought by the Van Renssclaers at auction in New
York just after the Revolution.
The stalk grew Is inches per day for several
days after it set about it. 1t stopped three weeks
age, but, if properly protected and warmed, it is
expected TO put forth and rpenits flowers for some
| weeks yet. When these matured the plant
dies. unlike the Aloe, with which it has been con-
| founded The Aloe is of Asiatic origin. The
Agave has been known to reach forty feet might,
! The first that was known in England lowered in
1899 There arc several varieties of the plant,
| generally smaller than this. H.G.
