The Wonder of the Age
II NJ. LINDSEY,S GRE.AT MEDIcAL lbs

4 NJ. LINDSEY'S GREAT MEDICAL bis
- . CGFERY Which is a purely regesu5ic
Preparation, fer the purifying of tle blood Civ
ing vignr to the Liver, stomach ard bowels and
expclng from the system all mo bid matter, and
substituting III its stead healthfli activity tAro'
all the ftlrSicsls Of life.
HOW II WAS DISCOVERED.
In the fall of 1854, a daughter of Mr.. Lindsey
was suffering from a malignant attack of Can
crum Oris (Canker of the no,ith.1 Sire had pre-
viously been prostrated by the attacks of Dys-
entary, lntiaH. alton of the Lungs and Hectic Fe-
yer, sgccessivey. which resulted in the above ma
med disease in its worst form. Her condition
was most deplcrable--her moNth and cheek were
literally rotte1--tlre attending physician pro-
nounced the case hopeless one. Everything in
aicated speedy and horrible dcath---a death of
rotting out of life AT this critical iwnctss,e, Mr.
Lindsey prepared a compound for the purpose of
allevarirg, possible, the pains of the little sffer-
er. She was made to use it freely, and in short
time, to his most dlgtfui astonishmcns, tlrere
very perceptible change for tie better
The mouth began to pat on bright and healthy
appeara'fcc-the foss breath became swect-the
appetite was restored, and the child seemed to
part'Ike of new and fresh life.
Hope was inspired, AMI Tie use of the COM
pound was faithfully continued, the result of
which, with the blessing of God, was her oom-
plete restoration. She is now perfectly healthy,
From this circumstance, Mr.. Lindsey was led to
prepare with greater care and cxactrrcss, what
had 50 astonshly Cured his child and continued
his experimental efforts until lie succeeded in
bringing to perfection his Great Remcelg for
Blood Aap~rity-since which time it, effects have
been almost miraculous. Hundreds upon hund-
reds, by it, have been snatched from an t1ntime-
ly grave and rcstorcd'to the sweets of health and
the cndcarmcnts of friends. The young and old
have tested its saving p rwers and sing aloud it's
virtues. Say tbcy-'after using I.ndsev's In
proved Blood Searcher, we felt As if a new life
was stirring veins, and under God we owe to
it more than worfs can express.
But hear from tlrei1 own lips and then Judge
of its valuable effects. The few ttStnroeqials that
follow show that it is isdeservedvstyIcd the Great
est Discovery Of This any other age.

Kerosene Oil VS.. Burning Fluid.
From a somewhat careful test, as to the
comparative merits of the Kerosene Lamp
with the Fluid Lamp, we arrive at the
following conclusion, viz:
To obtain an equal amount of light,
that procured from Fluid land the same
may be said of candles) is proved to be
four times as expensive as Kerosene Oil.
Ten cents worth of oil will burn abeut
twenty.six hours, and afford as much light
as five fluid lamps with two burners each,
which in the same time will consume five
pints of fluid, which at sixpence per pint,
costs forty-two cents, or over four times
as much. At the distance of eighteen
feet from the Kerosene Lamp, l found I
could see distinctly to read the ordinary
print of our country papers. 1t requires
five fluid lamps with two burners each to
enable you to do the same.
The light given off by burning fluid is
pale and feeble; that generated from the
oil is strong and brilliant. It appears to
be consanginious with gas-light, and doubt
less is, for both claim the same parentage
both trace their lneal descent from rich
and extensive coal deposits, underlying
vast portions Of the American continent
Kerosene or Coal Oil is of recent dis
covery, and is rapidly being introduced
not only for Illuminating, hut for lubri-
eating purposes. Those who have given
it a trial as burner, pronounce it the most
economical of all known material. One
gallon costing s1.25, will burn $50 hours,
or fifty evenings, commencing at 5 o'clock
Ind ending at 10 o'clock. Its cost is on.

his hands clasped upon his bosom.
We've all got to die some time, and
those who die first will get the sooner out

it as easily as possible"
What lifetime of thought and feeling

three cleaning swords were raised, and
the doomed youth saw them pointing sure

THE WAR AGAINST THE NAVAJO In

THE WAR AGAINST THE NAVAJO INDI-
ANs.-The following is an extract from
the dispatches of Col. NJ les, now COM
manding the United States troops in the
field against the Nauajo Indians:
81 have 300 men, rank and file, and
eight officers. The war opened on the
9th September at Canon &c Chiefly pro
nonnced Chay.) passed this awful hole
in the earth without losing single man.
This Canon is, IN many places, 500 feet
deep; men on the top look like pigmies,
and mules like rats. 1t is not over $50
yards wide. with immense boulders which
almost meet, overhanging. The Indians
poured their arrows into us, but before
thoy reached us they lost their momentum
and fell harmless. Horizontally their
bullets did the same thing. They rolled
down immense rocks, which, by the re-
sistance of the atmosphere, burst into frag-
ments and reached the bottom almost dust,
1t was some time after got into this
place before l found a trail to get my in
fantry on the top. When they did get
there they swept off the Indians like chat.
We killed six, wounded many, and cap
tured ten. Those we killed had plenty of
powder and ball. These Indians can bring
into the field $500 warriors, many of
them armed with rifles They possess
10000 horses, the best and fieetest l have
ever seen, and at least halt million of
sheep. We took from them 5000 sheep.
The Navajoes have now no common head,
or chief, but continuation of hostilities
for short time will allay their jealousies,
and unita their strength under a single
leader, and then we may expect to see the
Florida war re-enacted, at the cost Ct
many millions of dollars At this time
an efhcien. force of fit, en- hundred men
would speedily terminate the war"
MIR. Wallace, recently from Califor.
MIA via Salt Lake, reports having seen on
the Plains 1865 vehicles, S06l yoke of
oxen, 704 mules, 46 horses, and 1880
