Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of

fcient reasons why man may not testify to the
benefit he believes himself to have received from
any simple preparation, in the hope that he may
thus contribute to the benefit of others.

against them for many years. under the impress
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
i am indebted TO my friend, Robert Shoemaker,
Esq, for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests and for encouragement to try them whenIsuf-
fering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bottles Of these Bitters at the
beginning of the present year. was followed by
evident relief and restoratian to degree Of bod

following from the Louisville Democrat, as
showing the cost Of construction and proba-

AS an Investment, il seems TO us the
Southern Telegraph Company offers better
advantages than the old ones singly or a.
consolidated The capital of the Southern
Telegraph Company is 100000, and this
capital is ample, we are assured, 10 build
double lines from Louisville to Nashville,
Memphis, Nicksbnrg, Mobile, New Orleans,
Cairo, and many other important points,
making over 1000 miles Of line. and over
1000 miles of wire, and supply offices

stand ready 10 undertake the work. We
have been informed that the capital of
the Western Union Telegraph Company, be-
fore the reported consolidation with the
United States Telegraph CO., including lis
Indebtedness, was about twenty-five millions
of dollars and the Company had forty-four
thousand $4,000 miles Of wire, making the

times as much as its cost, or as it viii cost,
