ITS OCURSE Is 0NJY7RD.

so great has been the demand for Folgor's
- Olosaonien or All Healing Balsam, and il has
given such general satisfaction to those who have
used il and become acquainted with its virtues that
il now stand pre.emlnent as a remedy in Diseases
of the Lungs, and the testimony which has been
given by different persons who have been cured by
is altogether voluntary oil their palt They have
iven it in the hope that all who may nd themselves
in need of this remedy may apply for it without de-
lay.
Read the following letter received fIom the Rev
lNr Shimeall, Pastor of st Judcs Episcopal Free
Church. Mr. S. has not oay used The medicine
himself but has witnessed its effects in several very
trying cases of disease. The letter will show his
Iopinion of its virtues.
Dear Sir: Believing it to be but an act of COM
mon humanity to those suffering under the various
diseases Of Coughs Colds, Hoarseness, Consump-
ion, Asthma, de- to point them TO safe, speedy
and radical remedy, take pleasure in bearing my
Testimony to your invaluable medicine called Olosa-
Ionian ur All Healing Balsam. Of its efficacy |
can speak first from my own experience. Being
subject from exposure more or loss to the vcissi-
ltudes of our climate to frequent attacks Of Inhuen-
za Hoarseness, &c. have always found it to afford
almost instantaneous, and always by perseverance
lin its use eiectua relief To particular friend
of mine suffering severely under Asthma, and who
had despaed oi obtaining relief from any human
source, upon my recommendation was induced to
give the Oosaonian ttia and he pronounced the
effect produced upon him perfect charm atfording
him immediate and almost instantaneous relief, In
lanother instance | recommended it to female
friend far advanced in Consumption. After the use
Iof the first bottle her cough entirely removed
and her appetite and strength restored to slch a
degree as to sstonish all who saw her With o
long cherished aid firmly established prejudice a.
ganst the thousand and one specifics put forth III
these days as sovereign panaceas for all disease, |
assure YOU that nothing short of my firm conviction

ANEcDorE OF GENERAL TAYLOR,

A correspondent Of the Pennsy lyanla In
quer relates the following anecdute OF the
commander Of tho " Army Of Invasion I:
This morning heard little incident
respecting Gen. Taylor, which, at the
present tune, will be interesting. Dunng
the Florida campaign, certain young Of
firer, after receiving his commission, was
ordered 10 join the army IN that quarter.
His first duty was Of course TO report hum
self to Gen. TAYLOR. After avery tedious
Journey however through the woods, cur
officer arrived al n small shaniy called a
tavern, about 30 miles from head quarters,
where he thought proper to stay three
DAYS. There were only two ,lsIters there,
besides himself. One Of them, an oldlsh,
shabby looking man, with black hat,
minus a part OF the crown, and piece OF
lwiue for rlbband, was very IN inquisl-
tive, and among othing things, asked our
officer, what excuse he intended to make
for his delay IN reporting himself TO the
general.
90 said the officer, they say Taylor
is a very easy old soul, aud | can easily
make up an excuse.
Ga going 10 bed that night, the officer
asked The landlord who that Impudent. ~
quisitiye old fellow was w by said ihe
host, don't YOU know General Taylor ?
About an nour afterwards, at midnight, the
tramp Of horses feet was heard, making
large tracks towards head quarters.
