one regiment of infantry on their return from
Wilamsport, who, / understand with the regular
cavalry and tie detachment Of four guns Of the Rhode

This morning the Rhode Island regiment with two of
it's battery guns up from the camp at Williams
port, and passed through this place down the road
to Frederick, reaching Boonesboro' hrobably to-
night. Outsiders have no information Of the mmedi-
ate cause of these movements but we can guess.
The Franklin Railroad having been taken possession
of by Gen. Patterson several regiments remaining st
Cbambersburg have been hurried forward here by
rail- and all that were encamped there have arrived.

Dear Sirs,-The public generally are fully
aware of the thousands Of remedies for dis
eased lungs, under the titles Of Sarsapa-
rillas, Pills, Flasters, I.inimcnts, etc., that
are daily brought to their notice through the
newspapers, by way of advertisements. My
object in writing this note for publication is
TO induce the public, or at least inose who are
afflicted, IF they will use patent ~medicines,)
10 use one that contains articles OF real use in
pulmonary diseases. ! am conscious that in
SO doing | am acting most unproiessionally,
and derogatory TO the interests OF medical
science and the regular practitioners OF medi-
cine.
The medicine to which l refer is DR.. Halls
Balsom for Tie Lungs. l have prescribed it
in a la,ge number Of cases, and always with
success, One case in particular to which |
wish now to refer, was given up by several
nbysic ans who had been called in consulta-
ton with myself. The patient had all the
MONS Of confirmed consumption, such
as cold night sweats, hectic fever, harassing
cough, with continued pain in the lobe OF the
rir6t lung, attended with severe diarrhea !
He commenced Immediately TO get better by
tbe use of the ~above-named medicine, and
was soon restored TO his usual health l
have also found DR.. Halls Balsam the most
valuable expectorant for breaking up dis
tressing coughs and colds that have ever
used. WI NIL
