Highly Important News from the south.

The following extract of letter from very
respectable mercantile house. dated
Washington, Rapphannock CO., Va.
DIR. ID. Jayne, Sir-Our Mr. Jones has been in
very bad state of health for more than year,
he has had the benefit Of the best medical advice
our country affords. and also visited your city dur
last summer, but found no relief On the 10Th of
April last, we purchased half dozen bottles Of
your Tonic Eermifnge, and half dozen boxes of
SanatNe Pills. through carelessness in packing
the articles in dry goods box, one half Of the
Nermfuge vas broken. Mr.. Jones commenced
with the Pills, and after taking few doses, felt
a decided improvement. The three bottles of
Sermifuge, which came safe TO hand, brought
from him, he thinks, not less than one thousand
worms, and perhaps many more. All our Thysi-
clans have mistaken his case, Prof Samuel Jack
son of ycur city at the head. Mr. Jones is most
anxious TO get more of your Pills and yerrnifuge
