DR.. HALLS BALsAM strikes at The root OF the
disease ct once, and such is its speedy effect
that any one using it freely according to di-
~rections for twonty-four or lorty-eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits,
may return il and receive back their money.
The most distressing cough is frequently re-
lievcd by n single dOse, and broken up in o
few hours time. The afflicted do not have
TO take bottle after bottle before they find
Yhalher this remedy will afford relief or not.
The public have been imposed upon by
remedies recommended by certificates which
have always originated from some unknown
source. We believe that q Tedicin0 possess
ing real merits will effect cures wherever it
is used, at homs qs well as abroad. This is
no raregoric preparation, but one which if
used in season will save the lives Of thou
sands.
II has effected cures in numerous cases,
where tho most sl;illful physicians in this
country and in Europe have been employed,
and have exercised their skill in vain. Cases
which they have pronounced :ucurable, aud
surrendered as hopeless beyond n doubt,
leaving the patients without a single rny 10
enlivcu them in their gloom, have been cured
by Dr. llall's Balsam, and the "victims Of
consumption" are now vigorous and strong
as the most robust among us. And these
cases are not isolated ones; they arc numer-
GUS, and can be pointed ont in every com
munity where this most unrivaled remedy
has been tested.

story about the lungs being gone or rather

Scott was found sleeping on his post as
picket guard He was sentenced TO be shot
Yesterday. But from the nature OF the case
all the officers in camp petitioned the Pres
iGenf 10 pardon him. This petition was la
ken TO Washington Sunday night by the
Chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Parmalee. The mi'i-
eating circumstance was that Scott stood
sentry the night before for sick mess
mate. The President ordered a respite that
night, and in the morning fslly pardoned
him.
A thing occurred growing out OF this that
will induce me Democratic as ami TO vote
for Abe if he is ever candidate again.
The encampment where young Scott was
confined is about s miles from Washington
and from Washington to the encampment
there is a temporary telegraph. The Pres
ident telegraphed 10 the officer in charge OF
the execution to stay the same. it being tx
ed for early in tine morning. Not hearing
from his message, the President, fearing
that il had not reached its destination, or
that through some mistake the poor fellow
might be executed, came himself after 10
o'clock at night to the camp, to personally
i a. N. l,,t !, baf
reached its destination.
To make, however, suitable impression
on the men, the fact Of this pardon was moi
communicated, and on the next morning all
the regiments were drawn up in hollow
square, and the arrangements for the exc
cution all made, and the prisoner brought out
to the stand as though he was to be shot, be
of course knowing nothing of the pardon
He was deadly pale, and shook from head
TO foot, and was almost unable to sustain hi:
weight. After all was ready, the pardon
was read TO him in the hearing of all. Thi:
took a great load off from the minds of tha
vast crowd, all of whom sympathized mos
keenly with the unfortunate young man
and they gave vent to their JOY in cheer up

tremble for fear some of our boys will ye
