WILLOW GROVE, Iowa, May, 1856.
DR.. TUBS, Sir :--Hoping it may encourage some
despairng invalid TO seek relief from suffering give
below the facts In my own case You first prescribed
for me in Sent. 1856. had been suferil four years
from comp of diseases and impurities of the
blood. The last three years excepting a few weeks)
had been kept prisoner constantly in bed, and at
that time too feeble TO sit up in chair long enough
to have my bed arranged, nor could stand upright
upon my feet. My suferings were without intermis-
Ton, and at times very great Debility and de-
sangement seemed to pervade the entire system. All
that kind friends, and attentive physician could do,
had been done fOrme. had also used different kinds
Of patent medicines, which acted as paliatives but
failed to accomplish the desired object. From the
time commenced your treatment, there was gradual
Improvement. At the end of few weeksI was. able
to sit hour at time, and in six months rode
miles in one day. From that time Improvement was
more rapid--have since been able to journey west,
and am now eDjopng good degree Of health. l feel
that TO your treatment, under the blessings Of God
am indebted for life and comfortable health.
Yours with much respect, Mrs. M. Z. BEMlSS.
Mrs B. resided during her sick and while under
treatment in Munson, Geauga Co., o., where her fa-
ther, Mr.. Chester Miller, still remains.

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu.
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, tho
public no longer hesitate what antidotc to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of tho
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon tho

has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-

mating i'm hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatis countries.
No one remedy IL louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than q sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that 1t will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use In any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where 1t prevails. Preve1tion Is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AoUB
from the system and prevents the develop
mcnt of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
q dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEvEH
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection!
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger:
tain cure of Internlittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon tn. constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had nevot
had the disease.
Fever and Agucis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach;
all of which, when originating in this cause.

the blood, and consequently cures them oil
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling Or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fecton, that will be excrctcd from che system.

to rpcn into disease. Hence it is even moro
valuable for protection than cure, and few will

There is evidently n screw loose in Texas
politics. Ex-Gov f. NJ. Pease, one of the
strongest men in Texas, warmly supports
Gen. Houston. Gen. A. j. Hamilton, anoth-
er very strong man, does the same, and
is the candidate on the same ticket for Con
gress from the western district Col. NJ. l..
johnson, an old Texan, who went all through
1.-THE war;" it is supposed, will be the candl-
date for Lieut.. Governor. In the eastern
district no candidate will he run by the
Houston democracy, Judge Reagan, who has
been nominated by tho regulars, being &C.
ceptable to them. But, on the other hand,
and to show how matters are mixed up, we
may state that the nomination of Reagan BY
the regulars is repudiated by numbers of
them, who have bolted and called another
convention to nominate another candidate.

A Bow Killed by his Brother

A sad tragedy occurred at Brooklyn, on
Wednesday night. Two brothers named
Thomas and Charles Mackey. the former ten
years old and the latter ak years, sons OF n
respectable widow, became engaged i'll II
quarrel about an excursion ticket. The two
were standing in front of their mother 5
house when Thomas showed to his brother
the ticket. Charles demanded it, which de
mand his brother refused to obey. a scuttie
ensued, and crowd of little boys gathered
round to see what they considered light
The brothers then struck each other, and
Charles, the youngest, stepped back about
six feet. and drawing small penknite, held
it between two of his fingers, and hurled it
at his brothers breast. The blade entered
between the sixth and seventh ribs. The
wounded boy fell back, and was immediate
ly carried to his mother The knife had
penetrated but short distance, but it struck
an artery, it is supposed, and caused inter
nal hemorrhage. The boy died in fifteen
minutes after the ARRAY.
