DIR. JOHN BULLS
COMPOUND CEDRON BITTERS!
The Latest and Most Important Discovery
of the Nineteenth Century.

MO MANS NAME Is MORE INTIMATELY
N connected with the history of the Materia
Medica of the United States, or more tavorably
known as pioneer in medical discovery, than
that of JOHN BULL, of Louisville, Ky. His in
imtable preparation of SarsapaTilla has long
stood at the head of the various compounds of
that valuable drug. His compound PCctoral Of
Wild Cherry has become a household word
throughout the West and South; and his Worm
Lozenges, in Jess than year after their intro
duction, attained Il reputation widespread as
the continent of North America. But the crown
ing glory of his life remains to be attained in his
latest discovery, rather combination, for he
does not claim to have been the discoverer of
CEDRON, which is the basis of the Bitters now
offered to the public. That honor belongs to the
native Inhabitants of Central America, to whom
its virtues have been known for m, than two
hundred years. Armed with it, the Indian bids
defiance to the most deadly NAL aria, and handles
without fear the most venOmous serpents. 1t is
a belief with them that while there is breath left
in the body the Cedron is potent to cure, no mat
tet " hat the disease may be.
While DR.. Bull is not prepared to indorse this
eXtravagant pretension, he is nevertheless salts
fed from IL thorough examination ofthe evidence
relating to its virtues, that, a remedy nd
preventive for all diseases arisin; from exposure
either to changes of weather and climate to
the miasmatic influences, it stands without Il
rival. and justly deserves the reputation it has
so long enjoyed in Central America and the West

AMIDST all the horrors of war, many incidents
occur amusing in themselves, and which some
times, under the most trying circumstances, are
provoking to mirth, and form subjects for camp
stories months after. have soldiers chase
hares and pick blaokberries when a shower of
the leaden messengers of death were falling thick
and fast around them, and do many other cool
and foolish things. But the following, which ac-
tually took place at Mine Ru n, surpasses any
thing l remember to have seen or heard: On
one of those biting cold mornings, whilet the arm
les of Mead and Lee were staring at each other
the little rivulet known as Mine Run,
when moments appeared to be hours and hours
days. so at hand seemed the deadly strife a
solitary sheep lesurely walked along the run on
the rebel side. rebel vidette fired and killed
the sheep, and, dropping his gun, advanced to
remove the prize. In an instant he was covered
by gun in the hands of Union vidette, who
said, Divides the word or you are dead John
N.Y. This proposition assented to, and
there, between the two skirmish lines, Mr.. Reb-
ell skinned the sheep, took one-half and moved
back with it to his post, when his challenger, in
turn dropping his gun, crossed the run, got the
other half of the sheep and again resumed the
duties of his post amidst the cheers of his com,
rades who expected to help him eat it. OF the
hundreds of hostile arrayed against each
other on either bank of that run, not one dared
to violate the truce intuitively agreed upon by
the two soldiers.

all he could to attract attention to Barry, but
one came He finally came to the conclusion to
send him off to Georgetown, over forty miles, as
bearer of dispatches. He felt his pocket over,
and found an old yellow envelope, and piece of
pencil. He wrote on it, 81 am wounded and on
the battlefield" and signed his name to it, fold
ed it up about as large quarter dollar, put it
in one of Sailors ears, and tied his ears under
his neck, and told him to go.
Sailor started right off, and the grass did not
grow under his feet and he did not salute any
dog by the way--but in an incredible short time
made his appearance at Georgetown. The fami-
ly were all glad to see him, and, from his jaded
appearance, concluded he needed something to
eat. But Sailor would not eat anything; he was
bearer of dispatches, and must deliver them
first.
He did everything but talk, to Jet them know
it. He would stand on his hind feet and put his
paws on his ears and howl; but they could not
understand him. I think it was the second day.
the girl in the kitchen said Sailor must be killed.
he acted strange. He would rub his head
against her, and howl, and he was mad. A con-
sultation was held to talk the matter over and
at this time Sailor rose on his hind feet and put
his fore foot the shoulder of the daughter and
she told her mother Sailors ears were tied down.
|
John Barry in one of his ears. They were
tonished. They said if he brought message he
will probably take one back.
They went in the parlor; Sailor followed, and
sat down and watched their proceedings with
eager eyes. They wrote note white paper,
telling Barry they would send him aid as
as possible; folded it up and put it in Sailors
ear and tied his ears down and told him to CO.
But he lay down on the floor, the picture of des-
pair. What was the matter? Was it the color
of the paper? They would try him. They cut
the string, took out the note, and wrote one on
yellow envelope, folded it up neatly, and put it
in his ear, tied his ears down again, and told him
to go. He did not wait to be told the second
time but started off instantly. He off over
forty miles again, and in a short time the
great battle field, looking for John Barry He
had been delayed long in Georgetown that
amputated.
But Sailor not discouraged at all. He
started with the greatest energy to find Barry
This difficult matter and he was kicked
and abused while on his search But he kept
on patiently, and at last he found him and de-
livered the letter, and stad by him until he was
removed to this city. He is now at Transfers
camp near this city, and they would not take his
weight i'll gold for him, as high as the premium
is now.
If all those standing two feet, who have
been engaged in putting down this rebellion,
were brave and faithful as Sailor the rebel
lion would have ended long ago! Us X.

Philanthrophy During the War.


The New York Evening Post says that gem
tleman in that city has completed a book ex-
hibiting the philanthropic exertions of the Ameri
car people since the commencement of the war.
1--WE learn from it that the total contributions
from States countless and towns, for the aid and
relief of soldiers and their families, has amount
ed to over one hundred and eighty seven mill
lions of dollars, ($187 2O9, COS, go that the con-
tributions for the care and comfort of soldiers by
associations and individuals, has amounted to
over twenty-four millions, GA, OLA, 865, 96; that
the contributions at the same time for sufferers
abroad has been $3.50, 14O,74 and that the contri-
buttons for freedmen, sufferers by the riot OF
July, and white refugees have been S639, 6H, Is
making grand total, exclusive of the expendi-
lures of the Government, of more than two hun
dred millions of dollars, (212, 274, $50 40.
1T is no exaggeration to say that this is I'M
paralleled in the history of nations indeed our
limited reading of military annals does not allow
us to recall any instances in which the same
thing has been so much as attempted, in Eng
land, during the Crimean war, and in Germany,
during the struggle against Napoleon, both men
and women did great deal in contributing to
to the comfort and relief of their armies. It is in
fact impossible that war should rage in any ma
ton without exciting the sympathies of the peo-
pie to greater or less extent. But nowhere, we
believe, have such spontaneous and systematic
exertions been made or such grand results ac-
complished as in the United States.
But the real significance of these large contri-
buttons lies in the deep and universal devotion
which they manifested, on the part of the people
in the cause of the war. All classes have taken
part in them-the poor wi dow with her mite the
rich merchant with his thousands, the child of
the Sunday school, the settler of the backwoods,
the American roaming in distant lands"
