One Of the Greatest Cures on Record
Prompted by no other than the feeling of beneyo.
lence and for the benefit of the afflicted desire to

the unexpected cure which obtatned from Mrs.

physicians and never received thu slightest benefit
until Icommencsd using M,s Manchester's Medi-

had all disappeared, the whites of my eyes were yell
low, also the skin yellow; j had dull hsavy pain in
the right side, and it was very much enlarged pain
In my shoulders and spine. The left side seemed to

HORRORS OF SLAVERY.

During thisscampaigp, have seen terrible
instances Of the institution OF slavery. l
have seen men and women as white as the
purest type Of the Anglo Saxon race in our
army, who had been bought and sold IKE
on the mutilated forms of black men who had
suffered torture at the caprice of their cruel
masters, and have heard tales of woe too
horrible for belief, but in all this have never
been so impressed with the degrading, demor-
alizing influence of this curse of slavery as in
the presence of these South CaroliBians. The
higher classes represent the scum and the
lower the dregs Of civilization. South Caro-
linians they are, and not Americans. I~
