WAsurNGroN CITY. D. c., May 10, 1859,
To hon. Judge Crawford:
We. the subscribers, neghbors and ac-
quaintanccs of Emanuel Mason, do most re-
specially ask your Honor to be as lsnient as
possible in said Mason's case. We have for
years known Mason to be an industrious.
moral, temperate, poor, peaceable, honest
man; and we have reason to believe that
"tiHle Ben,' (who is the last and youngest
child of Mason left Mason's residence NTH
ont any direction of his father. the said Eman-
uel. And further. we do know that little
Ben" was raised from birth and infancy in
the house and at the cost of said Emanuel,
his father; and that he had nerer been out of
the possession Of Mason, up to the time the
officer came for the boy in September last.
And, further, we do not believe that Emanuel
knows anything of his ("Ben's") wherea-
bouts. And, further, please to take into
consideration the fact that Emanuel has been
confined in Jail long time, to wit more than
forty days since his trial and conviction And,
finally, think, oh think. Of fathers feelings.

fairy arrangement, caused by the Malaria
of miasmatic countries.
Nd one remedy is louder called for by the ne
o~sssities of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
now enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty
that it will eradicate the disease, and with as
surance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better than
euro, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run in violent attacks of this balefu, dis
temper. This Gnu cxpels the miasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development. of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms.
1t is not only the bsst remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quaatity wo supply for a dollar brings it
within the roach of every body and in bilious
} districts, where FEVER 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 sll-the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intsrmittents is, that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the %constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothsche, Earachc, Cstarrh, Asthma, 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, put on the intermittent type, or become
periodical. This "CURE" cxpels the poison from

This celebrated preparation. like the Bitters, may

eminent authority, DIR. Bell. says: " will not say
that Colds are to onr inhabitants what the Plague
and Yellow Fever are to those of other countries
but, l can aver confidently that they usher in disease
of greater completely and mortality than these latter. u
A further proof of abe terrible fatality o: diseases

Do not trife with your health: but, if suffering

may safely count on a cure. Thousands have done
so, and have certified to it's wonderful effects.
