From Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 18th, 1867.
Propped up between two moderate sized beds
of down, which the world calls pillows, ! sit PEN
ming you line.
Fol the past nine days have been debating
with the Typhoid fever rs to whether II was bet
ter for me 10 lowe the world just now or to await
q more convenient season--we both strangely
enough agreed upon the latter-so that You shall
still have a few more letters from JuNlus.
Now am going to tell you just what cured me-
/ had read somewhere lin your paper II may have
been) OF Humphreys Homeopathic Remedies, and
| sent for a box, bearing directly on the Typhoid
Fever. The box Is now gone and so is my fever,
and blame no one but Dr. Humphrey for it. If
any of your thirty thousand readers have any de-
sire to test the truth of that which say, would
advise them to test 1t by doing as have done.
Now, / am not treading on any mans corns,
neither am challenging the array OF the great
school of Allopathy II had an arm to cut oil,
u glass eye TO put in, a leg to be ampuated, or a
great scaldng gangrenous looking wen to be put
out Of the way, should call In Allopathy with
his knife and his saw, and would tell him that my
three hundredth trituration would not be fea-
bite to such strombols of evil, therefore, 4Escua-
Plus of the order Of Blue Mass proceed. But II
am struck down with o fever TINT requires no
cataplasms, no ointments, no murcury, will take
an Humphreys Powder and in ninety-ive cases
ont of one hundred will be granted new lease
of life. don't believe in taking medicines that
gives one but leQse each year-rather would
be tenant for life-and a long life at that. Now
YOU Alopaths that scan this letter and who stand
atar off, shifting my head with verbal bullets, l
don't hold one bit OF malice toward you, not a par
tclc ! can shake your right hand even though
it be filed with Blue Mass, Dover's Powders, and
painted all over with salvcs and can bid you God
| speed in your workout when want medicine
man.-wc part company-others can have, whom
| they choose but us for me and my house we will
serve Dr. Humphrey.
| Sickness OF all kinds is scarce in Philadelphia,
and one undoubted reason is the fact that the
Board of Health have had no money appropriated
by councils TO enable them to brighten the city
into a belief that there is an awful day coming.
| On passing up Seventh street ones olfactories
are not filled with the stencil of chloride of life
which like the dressings of u hlagreed witch filled
last summer all the alleys and cutters of that d.
| lapidated thoronghfare We hardly anticipate u
cholera. In fact the only cholera probable is that
| in the pockets of the Board Of Health, who have
ever had habit of running portion of the ey-
pendtures into their own yaults-what yaultng
ambition is this?
Ralph NJ. Townsend, Doctor and Literdteur,
has gone and had a fiye-sculled boat named after
him, and she now belongs to the Schuylkill fleet
Ralph is Jolly good soul and lie can write somt
real good, racy articles; he makes more froH
pills, however, than he does from pens He will
edit the Cape May paper again this year, and hi,
laughing face will enliven the sanctum as well Il.
the publish visitors who may pop in upon him.
Now, COMMERCIAL, j am going to stop; for
think it is enough for sick man, on such a dull
deadly day as this.
On the second of July shall start for the Whit
Mountains, and will givs you iniings of GU
trip. JUNIus.
