DR.. l. T. HENDERSON'S LETTER.
FARSvILLE, Louisiana, March 8, 1850.
DR.. T. ALLcOCK--SIR: / have been suffering
under a severe attack of neuralgia disease Of my
bowels for years, with hypertrophy Of the heart,
and have tried everything known to the practice
Of medicine from the very best NJ. DIS; but
truth prompts me to say that your Plasters have
given me more permanent relief than anything
else | have used, and L believe will produce a
perfect cure.
The counter-irritan; effect of your Plasters is
produced in such mild and gradual way, t-yy
so invigorste the circulation around the parts
60 when tkey applied, and exert upon all
nervous diseases such great sedative influence,
that place them confidently at the head of every
plaster now IN use. Yours, very truly,

Proofs of the Superior Quality
of the
American Watch
made at
wALTHANl, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of WaItham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-
bic, aud better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
20 be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from l25 to 3U0 pieces,
while in an oldEnglish watch there are more than
7Ou parts. How they under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:

years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches a part of our equipment There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and We consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble. and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, OF &C
knowledged good reputation; hut a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done

In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended

Piles, and every form of disease of the

how long standing. 1t has cured bad
cases Of Inflsmed Eyelids, and Dischar-
ges from the Ear, when nothing else
would heal them. Piles, that have re
sisted all other treatment for many
years, have been effectuaIly cured by the
use of only one box of this Ointment.

So highly esteemed is this popular
Vermifuge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, not only moro pleas

Parents and guardians, having the
care of children, should keep them as a
family medicine; for they not only erad

but correct any arrangement of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill

Sweeping, surging flames are spread
ing over miles and hundreds miles of our
territory, and dense, heavy sitting
smoke, like pail, has settled upon .he
whole country. +, For distance ofnearly
n hundred miles along the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, throughout a large portion
of Alexander and Pulaski counties, and
wide scope of Southern Missouri, In
forest and Held, prairie and hill, the de-
stroying element Is sweeping and no
power has been able to stay 1t. In the
central portions of this county, much
damage has been done. Fences and
harms, fine timber and stacks of grain
have been destroyed, and no power
seems sufficient to check the on-rushing
destroyer.

swamp" or the dead grass and timber
| therein, Is mass of flame and bulk of
fire. The woods In Union county are
also being swept by the Unsuitable de-
vourer, In the night time, the scene is
fearfully grand. The tall trees, gleam-
Ing through the darkness, seem like col
umns Of FURNISHED gold, An around is
seen the cracking, raging flame, leap
ing from limb to limb, following the tor
tuous wlndlngs Of the long worm fences
and covering the earth with o cleaning
mantle of fire,
The damage sustained already cannot
be estimated. Everywhere the farmers
are busy hghtlng back the fire; but
while breaking the ranks in this place
are hanked In that; while making head
way here, are losing ground there.
The origin Of the fire is easily account
; ed for. Hunters and market men camp
ing in the woods have thoughtessly lef
the embers Of their camp fires to b
scattered among the dry leaves by tn
first breeze. In this way the widespread
confiagration originated. Man la com
