DR.. Mazoni's Sicilian Syrup.
New LlsBoN, August tth, ls4s.
DR. GREEN. Dear Sir-It affords me great
pleasure to be able to add my. testimony In
favor of DR.. Maxoni's Sicilian Syrup. For
Is years have suffered beyond calculation
from pain in my breast and side, with a
harrassing cough, together with severe pain
and weakness acroes. the small of my back,
lancinating pains through my chest, and great
pains in my head. ] have doctored with a
great many different physicians, and spent a
large amount Of money to get cured, but all
to no purpose. Having heard of Dr.. Mazoni's
truly wonderful Sicilian Syrup, procured
one bottle, and this was the first thing that
ever had been able to get that seemed to
take hold on the difficulty, have taken the
second bottle. and for the first time in is
years find myselfin good health, free from all
those difficulties that have SO long harrassed
and distracted me; and any person who wishes
to see me can DO 50 at any time. And it
would afford me great pleasure to give to
any person full statement Of my former
condition, and let them contrast it with my
present state Of health. In short, would not
take the State Of Ohio,for the good have re-
ceived from this great Italian remedy.
Yours truly,
JOHN GREEN.

THE LATE MAJOR RiNGGoLD.

The deceased was the eldest son Of the late
Gen. SAM. RINGGoLp, of Washington County,
MARYLAND. His mother was daughter of
Gen. john CADwALApER, OF Philadelphia; a
distinguished citizen, in the days Of the Revo-
luton.
He entered the army, as Lieut. Of Artillery,
in July, 1918, having graduated, at West
Point, with much honor; beng one Of the
five whose names Were recorded as the most
distinguished Of the class. He was at once
selected by Gen. ScoTT as one Of his aids and
served in that capacity several years, and ever
enjoyed, in a veiy eminent degree, the conf
dence and friendship Of that distinguished sol
der. Pending the Disturbances IN South Car
DINA, in the year 1882, the deceased was there
on duty, and he has frequently expressed his
heartfelt qualification at the peaceful termina-
ton Of the unhappy difficulties between por-
ton Of the gallant people OF that State and the
General Government When the Indian war
occurred in Florida, the deceased, then Cap
tain Of Flying Artillery, was there on duty /;
actively employed, In various services, until
the wasting effects of the climate had so inn
paired his health that he was Frustrated by dis
ease. For "meritorious services" in that
campaign, he was rewarded by the rank of
Brevet Major. He was afterwards selected
by the Major General Commanding in Chief
TO organise corps Of Flying Artillery, and he
paid every possible attention to the instruction.
and discipline Of this ann Of the service. How
faithfully he performed his duty, in thus res
pect, the wonderful performances OF his admi-
rable corps at Fort McIienry, and other pla-
ces, and on the FIELD OF PALo ALro--iully
attest
He never recovered from the effects Of his
exposure during the Florida campaign; and
