iy invaluable course Of Treatment of my case
while prescribing for me. think cannot iusti
fy myself without giving this small token Of nv
thankfulness and esteem, for you have been the
means of saring my life, and restoring to me
that health which had so long despaired of
again eniOying. I had for a long time (four
wears, J been troubled with that most dreadful
scourge to young people, seminal weakness or
nocturnal emissions, which so weakened me in
both body and mind, that | was obliged to give
up mining altogether. consulted one of the
best physicians $50 called) in the mountain dis.
trcts, and after careful examination of my case
he gave me medicines. I continued under his
treatment for three months without receiving any
benefit, in fact grew worse from week to week
until at last got discouraged and asked him for
his opinion. told him not to fear to tell me the
whole truth, for | should rather know the worst
at once, than to live in suspense | had lost a.
bout thirty pounds of flesh, and knew that he at
least could not cure me, and as l was then going
on death must soon count me as one of its vic
tins. This physician then told me that my case
was incurable; that l had better not take any
more medicines. He said was in decline which
was fast tending to pulmonary consumption.
| then despaired of obtaining any relief. and
saw that unless something was done to mitigate
the complaint that [ should be numbered with
the dead, or what is worse, be raving maniac
Happening to see one of your books, the Pocket
Esculapius, made up my mind at once to call
and consult you with the determination of trying
once more to get relief if you would undertake
the case. Oh, how thankful am for that deter
mination I commenced taking the medicines
prescribed by you, and l am now, through their
healing powers, restored to perfect health.
shall not fail to recommend you to any of my
friends that require assistance, for a man that
can cure case as bad as mine was, can cure ey
cry disease that flesh is heir to- if their is life
enough left in the system to build upon.

THE EYES =
All Diseases OF the Eye Cured with unfaiI-
ing certainty.

DIR. w. A. SN YDER, OcullSt.
DRw. A. sNYDER's mode of treating disea-
L ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted; and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. DR.. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief
not to despair of cure without giving him a
trial, for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganzed there
is still hope.

OBITUARY.,

D'ed, IN this county, on III" 5.h OF June last
WIN. A. PATTON, in the 23d year Of his age.
In the early death o. this truly amiabIe and
promising young man, society and the church
have sustained great loss. Trained from his
infancy in the fear Of God, he was in youth and
IN manhood characterized by strictly moral habits
and honorable principles. He graduated at Da.
wilson College in 1850, having made profession
OF religion and become a member of the Presby.
terrain Church during his college course. Having
an only sister he determined as an affectionale
brother TO settle with her, and procured home,
having every prospect Of health and comfort.
But in The inscrutabe providence Of God, they
were permitted 10 dwell together but few months
on earth-nor they long divided in death.
The fatal disease which removed the brother
| having seized upon the sister before his death,
prevented her from seeing him IN his last hours,
and left her overwhelmed in sorrow and suffering,
to mourn for few days, the loss of a much loved
| and affectionate brother.
The Surviving friends of the deceased have the
sustaining consolation, that his life gave good evil
dence of sincere piety, and that in death he was
cheerfully resigned to the will Of his Heavenly
Father and expressed full confidence of hap
ply immortality, through the mercy Of God in
Christ Jesus.
Also, on the 17th Of June, Miss NANCY C..
PATTON, in the ooh year Of her age.
So the bereaved sister called to follow
through the dark valley Of the shadow of death,
a brother that had been to her in the place of a
father and guide. Her firm Christian character
and highly improved mind enabled her to look
with caImness on approaching death. Her youth
had not been spent in vanity-early had she given
her heart to God, and when called she was will
idg and DESTROYS to depart from world Of sorrow
to be present with her Redeemer, and with the
saints in glory.
| To her surviving friends who were present she
gave most affecting advice, bearing testimony TO
the riches Of redeeming grace and the Importance
of preparing for death whilst God waits TO be
gracious. BLESSED are the dead who die in the
| Lord - Communicated.

from thence it was parted and became into four

name Of Kansas, and its four branches are known
as Smoky Hollow Fork, and Republican Fork

The former, il seems, was known 10 the antede-
luvIans by the name OF Pison, and compassed the
whole region known as South Western Kansas
where, according TO Moses there is gold. The
lae discoveries of gold on the head waters OF the
Arkansas river is in the immediate vicinity of
Smoky Hill Fork, and those who adopt our views
and place full confidence in the Bitle-and who
does not should seek for gold in the next river
