Splitting Of Blood,

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Ten
perance Lecturer, was attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter OF 1871 He
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming a
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resOIted 10
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints When one thing failed he tried aa-
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and tie
whole catalogue Of remedies. His cough was as
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-aiended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats. and all the usual symptoms nfi
Consumption. While at Rome, On y he ie'i that
his end was ngh--that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Providentally, ladR
who visited him advised trial OF DIR ShermanS
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and eot
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines be used before. BY the
time he had taken one small box, he was able tr
start for the city Of New York. and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DR. Sherman's Lozenges
# From the Cincinnati Daily Times, of Jan. 4th lsi
Coughs--The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs-scaTcely a
family has escaped, and with many, carelessneSs,
in attending to cough, has laid the foundai'en tor
consumption. Our family has not escaped the
general affction, but owing to a remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured. She
mans Cough Lozenges, which We were lndnFeG
to try, proved what they represented TO De- and
affected cure in few days of a toublesome
cough, which appeared so deeply seated tha'
seemed doubtful If it could be removed at ALL.

facts which the community should know. Z T.

having left that city on the 22d ult., one day at-
ter the Yucaiecd. We have received by hera
Diaro de Vera Cruz Of the 22d, but it is abso-
lutely destitute Of news. When the Creole left,
the mail from the capital had not arrived.
A Zacasecas paper mentions the explosion OF
a powder manufactury situated on the road TO
Guadalupe, by which the building was com
pletely DESTROYED, and the piptprietor and seVe-
raj ofihe operatives were kiflia olswounded.
A passenger on board the Creole Informs us
that the shocks ofthe earthquake were still re.
pcated, and that the explosion of the powder
magazine noticed above had been occasioned by
one &c these sonvulsions. The inhabitants Of
the capital had taken refuge in tents established
on the public promenades. 1t was, however
believed that the shocks had ceased, as the vol
cano ofSt. Martin, which had been inactive for
eighty years, had begun to emit flame and lava.
