It affords US pleasure 10 say that we have used
your Cholera Diarrhea medicine for the last twelve
months, and have found it invariably successful,
in relieving speedily the cases in which we have
had occasion to use it. We entertain a high ap-
probation of its value, and have no hesitation in
expressing the opinion that it will prove to be a
valuable family medicine.

This is to certify that some weeks back l was
taken with a violent Diarreoea, which persisted for
eight days. Being some sixty miles from home,
I made use ofall the remedies I could think of, but
without ~affording any relief. On arriving at home,
I was informed that DR.. R. II. Worthington had
prepared a remedy for Cholera, DC, and was advi
sed to use it. I did so, and to my astonishment
one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief
since which time l have used it frequently in M
family and, in justice to the Doctor, say I consider
it much the most valuable medicine I have used il
an experience of twenty years.

Of Secretary Of State Il, enc very desirable for
that gentleman, and for " ich he IS as well
qualified as any person VIZ IN the range of our

An old and valued public scryant like Gene
raj Can,ey, should not, in the winter of his age,
and the maturity OF his capacities, be shelved
of for younger men, however deserving. For
him, bu: few fields Of cxcr,on are now open,
by means Of which he can answer the demands
Of large, deprndrnt family, while young men
have the world before them. with many prom
ising fields, inviting to honorable excr,ion. 1t
