DEAR MADAME:-Iou will recollect about three
months ago there gentleman called on you,
while staying short time in tAe city, to consult
yeu in regard to a ady's health, which was my
wife, her health, being at that time in an alarm
ing state, as the doctors all said and in fact all
her friends thought she could live but short
time unless reliey cd Of her difficulties. When
camo to you | WAS skeptic, and strong one at
that; but when | left you | Was confirmed be
iever. You sat down and told me her diseases
better than could have told thclG myself, and
better than any of the physicians ever had; for
they never had told what the trouble W tn
her. They would ask her questions how she felt,
and say. "Well, guess / can give you something
to relieve you;" and they kept IN that way
for about four years, as believe trying expert
ments; fer the more they did for her the worse
she was She began to take your medicine, and
in two weeks time she was entirely relieved Of "a
number Of her diifcGties, and from that time she
kept gaining and nov sac has entirely recovered
her health, aad is in better health than she has
been for twelve Yeas. For the last four years
have paid over one thousand dollars for doctors
bills and different patent medicines of the day
paid yea twenty five dollars, aad don't bestudge
it half so much as | do one dollar paid to ether
doctors for trying experiments.
IT this will DO you any good you arc at liberty
to show it to any one, as feel as thGGSh it was a
miracle, fer this patient was diseased from heaa
to foot If my family should need physician, /
should apply to you, if coul ind you, tae
next best of your kial. iou nave my best wishes.

" We've lived in love together through many chang

We've wept each others sorrow, we've shed each
others tears;
I've never known u sorrow that was long unsootll'd
by thee,
That was long unsoothed by thee.
We both can speak of one, love, whom time can
never change;
We both can speak of one, love, whom Time can

every variety, custard, chicken and chicken salad,
turkey and pig, with condiments to match, and
a bottle of sparkling Catawba, to boot for all of

ltron the Galena Gazette
We call attention TO the following COM
munication from skiiful physician of this
city, which, if remembered, may be the
means of saving the lives of some of our
readers:
GALENA, July II, 1865.
Editor of Daily Gazette.
DEAR SIR: Having read of q case Of
poisoning by rattleslake, in your yalua-
bic paper, and as such an accident NAV
happen again, and as in such cases it is
often extremely difficult to obtain medical
aid in time, | would invite the attention of
those most interested to a simple and un-
falling remedy in case of poisoning by
this terrible serpent Let the unfortunate
man, woman or child ut once resort to
alcohol in the ordinary form, or to com
mon whisky, brandy, rum or gin. Let
the patient drink it freely, Il gill or more
ut time, once in fifteen or twenty minutes,
until some symptoms of intoxication are
experienced, then cease using it. The
cure will be complete as soon as enough
has been taken to produce even slight
symptoms of intoxication Instances of
cures with whisky are numerous and
have never heard of failure wien it was
used as here directed. In cer.ain dis
tricts Of Louisiana, where rattlesnakes
are plenty, have known this treatment
to be uniformly successful Though the
remedy may not be in strict accordance
with the laws Of temperance, yet it Is
most assurodly the remedy and the must
reliable antidote for this terrible poison.
