HOW MANY THOUSAND OF persons

LOW MANY THOUSAND OF PERSONS
IL do we daily behold, both male and female,
who are suffering out miserable existence from
the effects of secret indulgence, or from virus
absorbed into their system from venerial dis
ease. Look at their paid, emaeiated and disfg
ured faces, and their broken down constitutions
depicting disease and its horrible consequences;
disquaGfying them from marriage, the enjoy
ment of life. 1t is, therefore, important for
those sufferers to know that, BY calling upon DIR.
J. HATES, they can be eifectually cured. He
is q physician who has made "privste disease"
his especial study for thirty-two years, and who
has cured upward Of thirty thousand cases in
Cincinnati alone within the last twenty years
He is therefore competent TO cure every form of
disease, both recent and chronic, in the shortest
possible time, without mercury other poison
Gus medicines. Be careful that you find DIR.

RADICAL SYMPATHY Helper is his last

'On the premises Of no respectable white
person; in the mansion of no honorable private
citizen; no lawfully convened public assembly;
in no nationally moral or religious society; in
no decentIy kept hotel; in no restaurant worthy
Of the patronage Of white people, in 40 reputa-
bic store or shop; m no place whatever where
sny occupant or visitor is of Caucasian blood
should the loathseme presence of any negro or
neeress be tolerated
This is pretty we'll for great gun Of
Radicalism The Boston, Post thinks that
there is no difference of opinion on the above
between Helper and many other Radicals,
only they are afraid to say so! There is as
much difference though between Helper and
the South, as there was about his first book
The South has not only no such feelings as are
indicated in the above paragraph, but It looks
upon such sentiments as inhuman and abom-
inable: If the negro is ever driven out of the
Southern States, as We infer he may be- it will
not be by his old and best friends, the whites
OF the South. Pstersbarg Express.
