1T SAVED MY LIFE.-In speaking of Goes Cough
Basam II tell you the whole truth, You will doubt

Consumption cannot be cured, and those who do
believe this Will not avail themselves of this yaua
l only claim that have been greatly benefited. In
view of this am willing to write whole page when
the fact may be stated in three words, giving you
statement of my case. Consumption Is hereditary in
the family two brothers and one sister having been
taken from me by this alarming disease.
In my case our family physician concurring with
Others eminent for their success decided that must
fall by the same destroyer l never expected to get
relief, had no faith in medicines, especially patent
medicines, and it was with no idea of being benefited
that tried Goes had heard it well spoken of by
all who had within knowledge tried it, but il
not till ! was Overpowered by the entreates of my
wife, that was willing to use it,, The relief OBJ
tanned from the first two three doses satisfied
that it was no humbug. Ny friends soon began to
say, "Iiughes, you look better. What you
that the article was good, and wished to know what
/ thought of it," l told them chat i wished to
give it a fair trial then would report"
This is what am now about to do. If can be-
leye eminent hyscians-if can have confidence
in the opinion of my family and friends-if know
the difference between joy and sorrow, then three
believe that If my brothers and sister had used It,
they would have been here to add their testimony to-
day. Now then, if it fails to your friend do
not recommend it the less, for it may another.
1t is the lot of all to die or later and under

this if find that must die by consumption. though

New YORK, Nov. 49,
The Times Washington dispatch says, De
Witt c. Walter, an Indian scout equal to
Misunderstanding, captured just before Chicka-
manga, and paroled with $50 other Union pris-
oners, came here tonight, and tells among
other things of absorbing interest, that the av-
erage number of deaths among our men in the
Richmond hospitals Is fUrty-three a day, and
that most of them get their death warrants on
Belle Isle. That sandy desert is low and
damp, swept by the winds and wrapped in
fogs. Our men are without blankets and but
one-third OF them are sheltered in moth-eaten
tents. All the starved sicken instantly, and
run down with frightful rapidly. Four dogs,
enticed to the island during the twenty DAYS
Walter was confined there, were quickly cook
ed and joyfully eaten. In the hospital to which
he was transferred his sole diet was corn-bread
made up without salt. Not beef animal has
arrived in Richmond within twelve days.
Virginia is swept of food: so are the border
portions of North Carolina, Tennessee and
Kentucky.
The Tribune's special Washington dispatch
says:
"The steamer City of New York arrived
