Mr.. d. D. Paxton and his wife, OF Will
Transport, Nd, were poisoned last
week, from the effect of eating apple
butter which contained lead extracted
from badly glazed crooks, or the verdi
girls from the kettle in which it was
boiled. Mr.. Paxton made narrow es-
cape from death. He is now impro-
wing, but his wife lies in very critical
state and is not expected to recover.

Is forty degrees in length, but so thin in
substance that stars are visible through it.
The marvellous tales of some nostrum-mon-
gers are nearly as long, and quite as easily seen
through.
The proprietor of DIR. Guysott's Extract Of
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, however, has no
occasion to resort to such tales in order to at
tract public attention.
The actual cures performed by the article.
wherever it is introduced, is the basis upon
which the reputat ion of the remedy is found
ed, as the hundreds of certificates of renewed
hopes-@heaith and life. that are continually
flowing in upon, will prove.
OTHumbugs may flourish for time, but
remedy must possess rare medicinal virtues, to
establish the reputation that DR.. Guysott's
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla has established
wherever it has been used.

The PHILOSOPHY OF ITS OPBRATIoNs.-Dis =
ense arising from disordered ac'ion Of the vi
tai system-that is, Of the organs employed in
screening and preparing the fluids which sus-
tain ;ife--cannot be removed by medicines
limited in their operation TO the locality where
that disease manifests itself The manifesta-
tion is merely the effect of a arrangement of
the functions Of those organs, which prepare,
secrete, and amalgamate the elements OF the
blood If these elements be impure, or are
not mixed in due proportions. the blood will be
in an unn atural state; and if so, the whole
system through which IL cireulates must be in
juric usIy affected. The grand desideratum
then, is--a preparation which will act direct
ly, powerfully, and safely. upon that portion of
the animal machinery which prepares. from the
food taken into the stomach, that fluid which
afterwards becomes venous blood. This fluid
is called Chyle. In order to have pure blood,
there must be pure chyle, and 1t is upon the
organization which prepares and acts upon
this chyle--in other words, upon the digestive
apparatus, the intesiines, and the liver that
the medicine should act.
1t has been proved by the experience of
many years, that DR.. Guysott's extract of Yell
low Dock and Sarsapsrilla operates in this
way; and by removing, at the place OF its ori
gin, the cause Of disease, it affects radical
cure. Other Sarsaparillas may alleviate, but
DR. Guysott's Extract OF Yellow Dock and
SarsapariIIa, eradieates all of the diseases OF the
system by furnishing proper chyIe by which to
form the blood.

that the price will range with them a

OF all diseases flesh is heir to we say, deliv-
er us from Consumption. She, with soft and
stealthy steps, hurries the victim in great
many cases into another world. with constant
and iattering hopes of a speedy recovery -
There are an hundred different articles now
offered to the public, as great curatives for this
dreaded malady, but none have we seen that is
entitled to the confidence we repose in DR.,
Rogers Compound Syrup of LiverWort and
Tar. We have heard and seen its effects, and
the certificates too, of some of the leading men
in Cincinnati are appended to the pamphlet.
If you have cough, use this medicine. fyou
are fearful that this dreadful disease is preying
at your vitals, delay not, but take this and use
it. It win not harm you, if it should possibly
do you no good.

DREADrUL CASUALTY AND Extra.

DREADFUL CASUALTY AND EXTRA
ORDINARY PRESENCE OF MIND.---One
of the most extraordinary instances Of
injury, accompanied by frmness and
resolution that we have ever heard of,
occurred few weeks ago, in the vicin-
ity of Mechanicsburgh, about fourteen
miles from Springfield, Illinois:
Mr.. Thomas Baker, brother of the
Hon E. D. Baker, was drivinga spirit
ed horse in the prairie, when he stopped
to adjust something, the horse took
fright and started off. Mr.. Baker fell
forward of the wheels, and by some
means one leg was fastened between
the springs and axle, his body on the
ground. In this position, the frighten-
ed horse, at full speed, carried him
about four miles, when he stopped. Mr..
Baker had still presence of mind and
strength enough to disengage his limb,
although many of his bones were brok-
en- and his body mangled in a manner
that baffled description. With great ef-
fort he managed to crawl TO the horse,
and with his knife cut him loose. Suf-
fering intense agony, and fearing that
in his pain he might be induced to take
his own life, he threw away the knife.
In the most intense distress from his
injuries and thirst, he continued on the
ground for two days and nights. By
some casualty his umbrella had been
thrown near where he lay; this he got
hold of and occasionally raised, hoping
by it to attract attention to him. Dur
ing this time, with his pencil he wrote
in hymn book he had in his pocket, a
brief account Of what had happened On
the morning ofthe third day he was dis
covered BY a drover, and relief secured.
He fingered six days longer, when he
died. Throughout his suferings were
most intense, but his presence of mind
never forsook him. He was about SO
years ofage, his wife died few months
ago. He was worthy and highly es-
teemed citizen. st. Louis Repu6.

| DR.. Brandreth, my dear friend, ifto be geo,
and to do good is the highest duty of man unr
if to do good is the best evidence a man car
give that he is good, then feel bound to ad
dress thee as one who has come up to the mari
of mans destiny.
As testimony that this Is not vain fattery
give the following brief sketch of my OWL ex.
perience:
When l was twenty years old, ! was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called "Slnw Fever" during which time
took much medicine; from that time for "a
years, was very often sick and under the care
of physician. About twelve years ago had
very severe attack of InAammatory Rheu-
matism, during which l was attended by DR..
| Moore, of Philadelphia. then regarded my
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave. Soon after
wards, however, | purchased a box Of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, TO be
more efectual in removing disease, than any
medicine had ever tried before, replenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where l was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice l have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedly very i'll, the friend at whose house stop
ped called in a physician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
posed TO commence a process which he stated
would so reduce my system as to confne me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took dose of Brandreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance Of my being visited
by a physician since purchased the first box OF
Brandreth's Pills - years ago.
My health is now vastly BETTER than it ha6
been for "a years before l commenced the use
of these Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever | have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; | am now
ten pounds heavier than / was before | used
them; when l take a cold now, | have no
cough, and / attribute all this change, under
God, to the substitution Of Brandreth's Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
ing to which / was before subjected. My wife,
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill fof
both of US, have not amounted to five dollars in
twelve years. When we find our health i'm.
paired from any cause, we take dose of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed,
and judging from my own experience, l believe
if every family should adopt the same practice,
the health and the longevity of the eommuni-
ty would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thv friend,
ARNOLD BUFFUM.

WRECK OF THE LExINGToN.-We
find in the Boston Daily Mail an in
teresting account Of the operations
of Mr.. J.. E. Gowan, of that city,
upon the wreck of the ill-fated
steamer Lexington, which was burnt
and sunk off Huntington Light, on
Long Island Sound, several years
ago. By means of their celebrated
submarine armour and diving appa-
ratus, complete survey was made
of the wreck, which was found in
twenty-one fathoms of water, or l26
feet below the surface. The hull was
found fell of mud, and completely
"honey combed" by worms, lying by
a resf Of sand which had bsen thrown
up by the current, running N. E. and
S. w. Their object was the recov-
cry of a safe containing the sum o!
$4,000 in bills and gold. They have
succeeded in raising one of her an
chors and the anchor and cable ol
another company who had made an
unsuccessful attempt upon the wreck
They also recovered portions of the
machinery, some gold and copper
and human bones OF the ill-fated pas.
sengers. They are sanguine OF recov'
ering the safe as soon as the wealth
er will permit. This is the creates
depth that any human>being has evel
descended, the diver remaining under
water for the space of two hours at ,
time.
