VEsHlS Invaluable medicine was pre-
= pared from an extensive practice
Of several years in a bilious climate and
is never Known to fail OF curing Feve,.
and Ague, or any of the diseases above
named.s
Those who are suffering from diseases
Of this kind, as also those who have be-
come invalids from their effects upon the
constitution, will find the India Chala-
gogue, most Invaluable remedy for pu-
rifying the blood, and thoroughly clens-
ing from the system the morbid effects
of bilious climate.
The wonderful operation of the Chala-
gogue in eradicating bile from the human
system, can only explain its extraordina-
ny agency in the speedy, thorough and
permanent cure Of Fever and Ague, and
the various grades Of intermittent and re-
mittent levers. 81.

Mr. Edward Bingham;
DEAR SIR:-With great pleasure |
state the fact Of the complete and radical
cure ofthe Fever and Ague with which
my son William was attacked, by the use
pursuant to directions, Of DR.. Osgood's
India Chalagouge, He had as severe an
attack as ever Witnessed, and appre-
hended long winter Of. this disease,
which was, some years ago the case
when | resided at Tecumseh. But was
.providentially led to notice your adver-
tizement in relation to this medicine
determined to try it, and the use Of one
DO tie broke the disease, and am conf
dent has effected radical cure, as two
months have elapsed without return Of
it, and my son is in the enjoyment ofro-
bust health. 1t is an invaluable medicine
and should be generally known.

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. IS, 1874


Mr.. Bingham-You wish me to inform
you what know of DR.. Osgood's India
Chalagogue and anti.billious medicine.
do believe that if the virtue and effica-
cy of this medicine were generally
known, the Feuer and Ague would dis
appear in Michig n, :.
| procured bottle in the spring Of
1871, and have good reasons to believe
that myself and family escaped The dgue
last spring in consequence Of ats use.
Perhaps no summer since the settle
mentofthis fine peninsular has the Fe-
yer and Ague been SO prevalent as The
last. Ihave recommended this medicine
in numerous instances and when the
disease had become fixed and baffled the
skill of physicians; and l haze nerer
kioton il fail. 1t has universally pro-
duced the most happy effects, and | be-
lieve il has never been exceeded by any
medicine in removing the bilious diseases
Of the climate Yours, respectfully,

TnR MIssoUm NoLuSrEERs.-T This gal.
liant Regiment under Col. Doniphan have.
arrived in this city, with the exception Of
three companies, who are hourly expected
in the MnIillo, from the Bazos.
They have been ia constant service for
more than year. and during that time,
have gone through the most severe aud
active duty. The march. Of itself, is with.
oil, a parallel in the annals OF modern, f il
is even in those Of ancient warfare. The
entire di,larcc was upwards Of 1000 miles,
nearly the whole of which. was through M
uninhabiled and uncu,liyaied country, with.
out dcpu,s or stores, and depending almost
exclusively on their own resources.
The laule Of Sacramento was fought
and gained, agains, a force four told their
own number, and Immediately after the ac.
iion, leaning that Gen. Taylor was in
danger they promptly commenced a new
and tedious march to his support, but, on
the route, hearing Of his safety they re.
traced their steps to chihuahua.
They are all mounted men, and so Sc.
we're has been the duty, that field officer
ofiho regiment told US, the rnen on an aver.
ugc, had used up each, three horses, and
tie officers Eve. lie, himself, had had
eight.

require very large amount 10 accomplish

dollars due each man; for, in addition to
lheirpay, they furnished their own horses,
lur which they arc allowed forty cents per
day and forage, besides being paid for all
that die, or are lost in the service. They
arc also entitled to commuiation money Tor
outfit, clothing, and travel home, and like.
wise iof forage all the time, rs they only
were supplied with the latter by the United

"WoRKING BgAUTnuLLY."-Onc Of the
Administration papers, in speaking Of the
new tariff, says, "il Is working beautifully" ,"
and attributes TO its operation the present
high price Of bfoads,uils and all kinds ol
provisions. We thought that short crops,
causing scarcity in the market If any
necessary and much used article, always
produced a rise in the price Of il. The
crops have Lcen short throughout Europe,
and the demand increases with increasing
population, for people must eat OF slaWc.
Provisions NE transmitted 10 the needy
countries by persons who have bought up
large quantities on speculation, and the
demand being extensive Ral urgent, high
prices are asked, because they can be
readily obtained, and because the articles
arc really worth more Than when more
abundant. Let no cotton he raised any
where IN the world but in Arkansas and
Louisiana, and you will not find it stopping
at S OF 10 cents per pound. Let Louisiana
raise all the sugar, aud swcelcnod cup
Of coffee would taste too siiyoTy lof com

the high price Of provisions is something
to be glad about, let them sing ha.lclujahs
