NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
FROM UNITED STATES

II Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered BY many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there great number of people who are af-
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. Heis physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so longneeded, has atractedthe attention
Of all sufferers from headache who have heard oft.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med-
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove to be great benefit to all who may give il
trial--Lynm Nsvs, December 23 1853

We would remind our readers Of the import

BoDY SNATcHING EXTRAORDINARY. 49, The
Elgin Palladium, of the 18th, has the fellow
ing account of some events which transpired
at Naperville, after the execution there OF
Doyle on the 18th. @3as5: II
"After his execution, a most disgraceful scene
took place between certain physicians and
others in relation to the body of the murderer.
After the execution, the body was delivered to
the sexton, under his solemn and repeated
agreement to bury it properly. He proceeded
with physician and his student to the bury
ing ground, where a grave had been previously
dug, and lowered the coffin into it, and then
pretended to have some business off at q dis
tance from the grave. While he was gone,
the others unscrewed the coffin, took out the
body, and it being thought unsafe to move it in
the day time, they hid it in the corner Of the
fence, and went away, and the sexton buried
the empty coffin.
During this transaction, another physician
and some others were watching them and as
soon as the first set of hyenas left, they stole
the body from the place where the first set of
thieves had put it, and hid it again in the
woods. The first party coming back, and find
ing their body gone, very naturally concluded
that the body was in the woods near by, and
laid in watch. AS soon as it was dark, as was
anticipated, the second gang came with their
wagon to take the body away. 1t is said that
knives and pistols we're drawn, and threats
made, but they did not 60 SO far as to use them;
and the disgraceful row was ended by the first
party buying the pretended right of the other,
and took the body to Naperville. About II
o'clock the same night, another set Of medical
marauders from Chicago entered the graveyard
and opened the grave, but finding nothing but
an empty coffin, they we're saved the infamy Of
robbing it."
