GELLERS' COUGH SYRUP!

From A. Gushing, Druggist, s. Bend, Ind
D. S. OWEN, Esq.-Dear Sir-In reply to
your favor of the 18th instant, l would say
that the sale of Sellers Medicines has far ex-
ceeded my expectations and in no case have
they failed to produce the desired effect. The
Cough Syrup is IA cure for coughs, colds, &c.
and the cheapness Ut TIE article places it
within the reach of all, which, together with
its efficacious qualities, renders it a uniUersal
favorite. Not day passes without numerous
calls for 'the one thing needful," at this sea-
son of the year, viz, Sellers Cough Syrup.
Yours, A. G.. GUSHING.

TOHNSON'S
RHEUMATIC COMPOUND
AND
BLOOD PURIFIER !

I nlo gIoat internal remedy is the best ned
icine ever offered to the public for the eff
fectual cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia, and Blood Purifier, iG has no
equal for all diseases arising from an impure
state of the blood, such as Scrofula or Kings
Evil, Scald Head, letter, Ring Worm, Female
complaints and all break outs on the face or
body. The vast number of rub on medicines
which formerly have been used for those dis
eases were merely temporary in their effects,
and of doubtful virtue, but the RHEUMATIC
COMPOUND reaches the source of all trouble,
and effectually banishes the disease from the
system by its immediate action the blood.
We advise and all to give it trial, and
become satisfied of its wonderful power.

duty l owe to you and the public generally to
state that l have been afflicted with Liver
Complaint for long time, and so badly that
an abscess formed and broke, which left me
IN very low state. Having heard of your
celebrated Liver Pills being for sale by A R.

by my physician, DR.. F. Smith, l concluded
to give them fair trial. 1 purchased one

ease has entirely left me, AID am now per-

But little transpires to relieve the mo-
notony of camp life. Even the batteries
seem to have forgotten to keep up their
usual compliments of she'll and solid shot.
[ dare say we have had less excitement
here for some time past than you have had
at home in your efforts to abate the rigor
of the impending draft. How glorious
thing l. is to be free from drafts alarms
With what nonchalance the subject is
discussed Twas but the other evening
sat listening to an interesting conversa-
tion among group of blue coats, in which
fully sixteen persons were named as being
such as would do honor to the ranks, and
be welcomed therein.
The weather of late has bad the spice
of variety. Since my last writing, we
have had snow to the depth of two inches,
then thaw until the mud was, well, my
two feet. Some days the Northeast wind
would blow cold enough to do honor even
to the Alleghenies, and on others the
South wind would bring a temperature
that would almost force one to conclude
that it was balmy Spring, instead of rude
Winter
On Thursday last the dome of a gov
ernment locomotive exploded, a short
distance West of this point, severely in-
juring the engineer and fireman.
During the past week two members of
Co. E have died, one at Division hospital,
and the other at City Point. The total
number cf deaths in the regiment is four.
The health of Company continues very
good. There are some cases of sickness,
but all with good prospects of recovery.
