REBEL BARBARITIES.

In common with every one who Sympa-
thizes with the unfortunate victims of war,
we long since hoped that barbarous treat
ment of our sick and wounded by the rebels
had ceased; but the following statement by
Ii. r. Wirts, Medical Director of tho Thir-
teonth Army Corps, shows that the rebels
have not forgotten their barharities, and
thai they are unfit to be treated rs civil
lied beligerents:
During the recent capture of Holly Springs
by the Contedcrates under Van Dorm, they
burned hospital just ready for occupancy,
although Van Dorm promised it should
be spared. This was tho finest in the
Southern Department, having 1000 hunks,
an immense lot of drugs and surgical APP
paratus, thousands Of blankets, sheets, &c.
This proceeding was in violation of u
promise and ell rules of civilized warfare
and is am evidence of barbarity and want
of principle in Confederate officers.
An attempt was also made to destroy the
general hospital, which contained 500 sick
By order of Van Dorm lot of ordinance
stores, which had been stored in the build
ing, consisting of powder, shells and car,
tridges, were piled in front of tho hospital
and fired.
Medical officers protested against this, bu
were treated with contempt, and before
there was time to remove the sick, the wall,
were riddled with flying balls and shells
and finally an explosion shool, the building
/ destroying every door and window, anC
wounding about twenty men. 1t was

their beds and fall into line, threatening t.

and made the poor fellows, suffering from

MY THEORY ANp TREATMENT
Are new and different from any one in the United
Statcs,and challenge any one To produce the same
success that have met with in treating Chronic
Diseases. My theory is based upon the chemical
operations Of the body believing diseases to depend
upon diSproportoncd condition of the fluids Of the
body, whereby the solids be unhealthy by
analysing the secrVtions. blood, Sc, of the body,
and finding out what is deficient or in excess and
supplying to the system what is wanting. | am
enabled to often by small amount of fmcdcines
where the patient has been drugged with medicines
for long wears to no effect.
Now Dyspepsia, in the great majority ofcases de-
dends mainly upon disproportoned state of the
gastric or digestive fluids Of the stomach. When
this gaSic fluid is proporoned properly the food is
thoruugly digested and asSmatcd. Viewing DyS-
pcpsia by the rules of Chemicopathology and giving
trcatmeut accordinrlyI enabled to curc ~ cases
out of 50 and 40 out % of Consumption, As
thma Brouchitis and LaryngitiSa and Liver Com
dlaint Piles. Neuralgia Dizziness orSick Headache
Nervous Debility aud Female Diseases i'm every

Read il.
NEWARK, n. j., June G, 1859.
Messrs. Perry Davis 4 Son. Gentlemen ALLOW
me, unsolicited, to send you a word of commendaton
for your Pain Killer | have used it in my family
these several years, and found il all it claims to be.
For rheumatism, coughs, Colds, Burns, cholera
tendencies and difficulties as well as diseases gen
orally that prevail in families, regard the Pain
Killer as beyond all price, and efficacious beyond
any medicine within my knowledge. We keep it
as our chief family medicine and find its uses in
ordinary cases worth more than any doctor. The
testimony of others among my acquaintanccs and
friends is equally favorable. Many clergymcn
have spoken of it in the highest terms as family
medicine. Missionaries in repeated instances have
said to me in person and in their letters, that the
Pain Killer was by far the best medicine used in
heather lands, and they use it for themselves and
families and administer it to others around them.
Thus much | am inclined to say, as an act of JUS
tice to yourselves, and as a benefit to Others You
at liberty to this testimonial, if of any ser
vice. Yours, ETC.,
