for them, and commensurately with the strides
of science have we acquired the means of
arresting disease, aud averting its ravages.-
Notwithstanding the progress we have made,
statistics show that even now, one sixth of the

the age, in ameliorating the condition of this

and expenses of the company of about 5000
dollars with little or no prospect OF ever MAX

"A cure of Body and Mind.

DIR. ID. Jayne-Dear Sir:-Justice compels
me to make the following statement of the ex-
traordinary effects Of your valuable medicine
the Alternative.
certify that my wife was afflicted for four
teen years, during which time her disease bu f
fled the skill of several eminent Physicians.
and after finding that every means that were
used failed to relieve her, concluded to place
her in the Pennsylvania Hospital hoping that
the care and treatment she would there re-
| celVe from the Physicians in that institution
she might again be restored to health. But to
my great appointment, she grew worse and
became entirely deranged in her mind, and I
was Obliged to take her home again, "incura-
bic" and bereft of reason will here mention
that at this time the more prominent symptoms
OF her disease were Dyspepsia and Liver com
plant, attended with sickness of the stomach
ana vomiting OF very offensive fntid mu.
cous, pains in her head, back and stomach and
in the region of the heart, with violent attacks
OF Cholc, troublesome cough from LARGE
quantities of phlegm in her throat, which kent
her continually gagging and retching to throw
weak. '
By the advice of friend we commenced
giving her your Alternative, in the doses of a
tea-sPooniul three times day, aud found that
IL nelped her. We also gave her your YER
ml1uge TO increase her appetite, and the SAM
tive FILLS to regulate her bowels She had
not taken TWO bottles of the Alte rative before
IT It, operated upon her in wonderful manner,
ming her lace with small, red pimples and
caused her to expectorate large quantities of
corruption, before which, her breath was so
offensive we could not remain in the room
with her unless the doors were open. Find
ing the Alternative doing her SO much good,
we increased the dose according to the direc-
tons and she continued to improve daily until
finally, she was restore to health in body as
well as in mind! SAM'L. FIELDS.

The goth ofAugust 1s47. will be day

upon the arms of our country is too deeply
ensanguined with the blood of Americans,
10 rejoice the army that has covered itself
with nperishable renown. Our camp is
full of mourning, and the reflection that the
greater griefis yet to be carried to the hearths

sad for utterance. What carnage for sing
lie day! The sun that rose on the Goth, shed
lis glad light on seven thousand men, full of
life and hope, who strewed the battle fold
with their scattered limbs and corses when
night closed in! The day was tumult, re-
vengeful and bloody; the night gloomy, fear
full and dark--ihe stiffness only broken by
the groans of the dying and the wounded.
