Business Notice.

GREAT SUccEss.-Dr Fuller is having re-
markable success in the treatment of all va.
rfetes of chronic diseases, during the last
few months. He has treated over five hun.
dred cases in this State, and has succeeded
in curing some of the most obstinate and
topeiess cases ever known to be cured in
this section of the country. Many females
who have been cOnfned'to their room or bed
with dieases peculiar to their sex, for
months, have been perfectly restored to
health in from four to eight weeks. Manv
of the most obstinate cases of diseases of the
Bronchial-tubes. Lungs, Liver. Stomach and
kidneys, (who have been taking medicine
month after month for everything but the
right disease.) BY the administration of the
right kind of medicine, have been speedily
cured. His success in curing Cancers,
Scrofnla, King Ervsipelas, White
SweHings, Tumors, Fever Sores, Sore-eyes
Deafness and all var ieties of diseases will
be realized by those afflicted, by applying
to him Immediately As many Chronic dis
eases require several weeks to accomplish a
perfect cure, those afflicted should consult
the Doctor without delay in order to give
time to accomplish cure before he goes TO
Chicago to commence upon his duties in
the College in October next. Patients will
find the Doctor at the Ottumwa House.
Ottnmwa, Iowa. after July 25th, where he
will be pleased to meet all who may favor him

week excepted, which time he occupies Wis.

Il is decidedly in bad taste for YOU to be

Il sdeeidedly in bad taste for you to be
continually taunting ether men because they
are little. Try and retain your little soul in
your little body with more patience, dpn,t
be so envious. Remember that other men
have just as much right to be large, as you
have to be small. Even. we meet, at tunes,
with gentlemen larger than ourselves, few
of them possibly, wiser than we, and still
never twlt them with, being big. 50 you,
perhaps meet with persons smaller even
than yoa, and who know great deal more
too, but that is no just cause for venting
your jealous rage upon them young man
throw off at oncethat foolish habit, or per-
sistence in it may give rou pain when you
become old enough to have some sense
We have for some time been laboring
under grave mistake in regard to your
manner of expressing your thoughts, which
is all happily cleared up, by your statement
last week, that it is owing to your figura.
tive style, unless indeesd, this statement is
a figure Of speech too THIS may be all
good reasoning, but we don't exactly see it,
and we know this, that when any of the boys
at school INDUCED in such Figures oi
speech they invariably got hogged for
lying We hope that you may receive prof
it from the few suggestions we have made,
and would be glad to adj to them now, but
having occupied seat at the Panorama last
night, too near the Mercury, when the por-
trait of Washington was uncovered, the
sudden food of tears from that quarter,
rendered navigation rather difficult. We
had on heavy boots, so escaped with no fur
ther injury than cold. Didn't have a

Mr.. Hi!dreth of Floyd Co.. from the Com

following report:
The weekly Ottumwa courier., 1863-06-25

The telegraphic dispatches during the lasi
few days, when stripped of what is mere
rumor would leave but few items Of conse-
quence, and it would be task of no little
difficulty, TO make the separation. A body
. of Couch's Cavalry entered Frederick 2lst
inst. Great excitement in Pittsburgh; reb-
" els at Uniontown so miles distant Rusi-
ness suspended.
Hillerstown has been occupied by 1000
rebel troops, supposed intention to move on
Northern Central r. r. to insolate Bait
taore.
Z Everything IS progressing finely at yicks
burg, the rebels keep up steady firing with
their heavy guns, but do no damage they
also continue to harrass the Railroad, and
Telegraph lines between that place and
Coriuth. The Southern Copperheads who
made raid into Indiana ON Sunday have
not been overtaken.

The little Fellow.

We have many apologies to offer to the
gigantic gentleman of the Mercury. and
arst if we have ever insinuated that you are
little, we feel disposed to take it all back as
on your =" blister principle, you may apply
it again to US, and from actual experience
you know bow it hurts, to have (pardon the
kind insinuation,) ones littzensss thrown up
| to them.
We had intended, here to drop this lit
tle' branch of our subject, but as the gen.
tleman seems in trouble in regard to his
stature, being in the habit, when disposed
to be sarcastic, of taunting others with their
corresponding shortness of person, we fee
Iinclined, from purest benevolence to attempt
to administer consolation to his troubled
soul. and If we should succeed, (however
!imperfectly) in reconciing his brilliant
mind with its abode in body of such short
legged stubbed proportions I've shall con-
slider our success almost miraculous
We might, for your encouragement, di-
rect your attention to the career of sundry
men, rather diminutive physically, but who,
notwithstandin: that, won glory enough to
secure for their names an honorable men
ton in history. But we must be extremely
cautious about touching upon historical
subjects, as the late S. r. Clark nearly ex
hausted that branch Of learning, while ex.
pounding the nercnry's opinion of the
: Common School System"
8 As you say you "liile to oblige old men,"
giving to Us such dignifed appellaton
we accept the title with its grave response
bilities, and hence feel called upon to cor
rect certain pernicious faults, that show
themselves la your writing from time to
time
