nesses:
My name is Joseph Deve Legoutin Bellechasss was
born in Louisiana in 1860 continued in Louisiana

itary posts and removed to Cuba in 1874 and have
since lived my plantation and Northumberland

menced about the end of the last century, and lasted till
his death we had relations of friendship and business
In 1903 induced by Clark then United States
sui at New Orleans to accept the Offer under the French
colonial project Laursa to take command of the militia
OF Louisiana when the country surrendered by Spain
to France Of the intimate friends whom Clark,
in 1906 assembled in his house and, informing them of
the intentions of Colonel Burr, advised them to
their influence to support the United States govern
ment-to rally around the governor Notwithstanding
his incompetency-and also to prevent meeting Of
the legislature in Colonel Burr should gain pos

Nr. Mime, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
ATTACKED with raising blood, followed by
a cough, pain in the side, and all the u
suaI symptoms Of consumption. He en-
ployed two of the best physicians; they
did him no good, and tod him he could

Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
formed by Sherman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs. Hayes, 1876
Fulton street, and got bottle; it operated
like charm, stopped the bleeding adm
cough! Before he had taken one bottle
he was able to be about his work 1t had
saved his life His daughter, residing at
I27 Myrtle Avenue, can attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of Williamsburg
living in Tenth, near South Fourth St,
says-That she had been troubled with q
hacking cough, and painin the chest, for
a long time, which at last become SO bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than a year. She then common
ced taxing the All-Healing Balsam-
which soon alleviated her symptoms. She
is now fast recovering, and has resumed
her laborious occupationas teacher.
IA years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave

raising of phlegm, and pain in his side.
He could get no relief til he tried the
All-Healing Balsam, which drove the pain
from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease upon the surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.
