last ten years she has suffered beyond de-

upper part Of the mouth, and also on the
under jaw; it had become such an eating
sore, that small pieces of bone have come
out. 1t was attended with the most excru-
ciating pains. In this manner she has suf-
fered without finding any relief. She was
attended by some Of our best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try Dr. Towns
ends Syrup, of (which she took twenty bot
ties, but it did her no good. Seeing your
advertisement, she was induced by friend
to try your Syrup. sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured n bottle foT her, and
rs astonishing as it may seem, before she
had finished taking that bottle, she was re-
lieved of those excruciating pains, and her
mouth is gradually healing. She has taken
four bottles, and she is now able to be
around and attend to her household duties I;
and we would hereby recommend this to
others in like manner afflicted, rs being one
of the medicines ever offered to the public (;
and we feel duly grateful that we could OBJ
tain anything to procsre relief.

pT In the time of Tip. and Ty. >"
politics ran, like "the measles" or any
other infectious disease, throug Oh whole
families, and all "took Sides" from
prattling two-year-olds, to octogenarian
grandmothcrs. Charley, like hi, father,
was " strong whig )" and, although
very fond of his grand father, with whom
they lived, resisted all inducements t.
agree with him in politics. He was
particularly happy when allowed to
sleep with the old people, and it was
only granted as special favor. One
night, they heard him pattcring into
their bedroom, but said nothing, and
hc soon called out: 4:
Grau'pa! don't you hear little feet
a-coming 20
"Go back you're a whig. We
can't have any wings here" was the re-
ply.
Charley stood a moment; the strug-
gle was evidently hard one, but the
temptation was too strong; circum-
stance known, perhaps, 70 many older
than he; he gave up his principles to
secure personal end.
The next day, at dinner, his grandpa
mentioned his " conversion"
you were a loco last night, at
any rate"
Oh, it was dark then !" responded
the child as ready with an excuse as
any other politician.
