ty over every other expectorant is too apparent to
escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what anti
dote to employ for the distressing and dangerous
affections of the pulmonary organs that are incl
dent to our climate. While many inferior rene
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable to be forgotten.
We can only assure the public, that its quality
is carefully kept up to the best it has been,
and that it may be relied to do for their relief
all that it has ever done.
Great numbers of Clergymen, Physicians,
Statesmen, and eminent personages have lent
their names to certify the Unparalleled usefulness
of our remedies, but space here will not permit

POETRY
from the Sentinel


M The following exquisite Poem, y which we
have the pleasure of giving its first appear,
ance in print, is from the pen of our gifted
townsman, THEo. FL. HILL. 1t is seldom
that a fugitive piece of such rare beauty
sraces the columns of a newspaper, and the
little gem merits, and should have more en-
during setting. In touching simplicity, IN
tenderness of feeling, and in the unaffected
display of pure and chastened emotlen, we
: do not hesitate to express the opinion that
this memorial efusion is superior to any roenl
of its class with which we are acquainted
and its sweet, sad theme is one that mas
tuned many a Tyre
We do not pretend to be connolsseqr IN
the poetic art. Judged by the rules whlcn
pertain appropriately to it, Ut, indeed, II Gu"
he fettered bv formal rules,) Mr.. Hill has re-
ceived the ansprimatur of those who are
every way competent to pronounce crltlcal Z
decision. Our test of genuine poetry as OF
music. is its effect upOn the feelings, and Mi.
Hin has written but little that does not sus,
tain that criterion Certainly the beautiful
Poem, which we subjoin, has the charm IN
its fullest extent. Few can read 1t, we are
sure, without silent tear-whlch IS, after
all, the highest tribute and the sincerest
praise that could possibly be bestowed.
Mr.. Hill is destined, if his undoubted ge-
MUS is fully cultivated and encouraged, to
take very high stand among American
Poets.

Notice to the Public.

In the year 1916, the writer embarked in the
Drug Business in the city of PHILADELPHIA and
while thus engaged, made several experiments in
regard to the most desirable mode of preparing
Fluid Extracts. My efforts being successfu-thc
articles being approved and used by the Medical,
the public, but hesitated for some time before
concluding to resort to newspaper advertising
knowing of the prejudices that existed in the
minds of many against using advertised Medicines
NOstr1aS, but through the advice of friends and
those who had used them this objection was over
come.
After 1syears' exertions, commencing in small
way, the popularity of my articles has extended
to all parts of the United States and widely
throughout Foreign countries-and this in the
face of much opposition. Every means has been
resorted to by. unprincipled dealers since their
merit and success have been knowf-such as ad-
vcrtising larger bottles at less price, censuri all
other preparations, and even copying amy adver-
tiscments-butI am happy to state that out of the
successful.
MY OBJECT
in this notice is TO make facts known to the pub
many years eXertions, the the Druggists will dis
countenance such proceedings, and that the rep
utation of my articles may not be damaged by the
use of inferior or spurious ones.
Knowing that many may read this article who
are unacquainted with me, Iappend few remarks
from those OF my native city, and whose names
are known in all parts of the world:

Fitz-John Porter appeals to
President Johnson for q reconsid.
Grafton of the proceedings of the
court. martial which sentenced him
to be "cashiercd and forever rem.
dcred incapable of holding office
undor the government of the Uni
ted States" This sentence was
passed in January, 1861, and was
approved by President Lincoln
Mr.. Porter claims that the trial
took place in time of unusual ex.
citcment; that evidence then IN.
accessible can now be produced, and
that he considers it his duty TO APP
pea! for a revision Of his case, and
therefore requests the appointment
OF u new court.martial.
This appeal is backed by Scna-
tors Wilson, Sherman, Harris and
Foster, General Banks, Ex Cover
nor Curtin and Horace Greeley.
Four years and II half having
elapsed since the dismissal oe Por-
ter from the army, the charges aud
specific atoms upon which he was
cashicrcd may have been forgotten
by many person 5. We therefore
append u summary of the proceed
ings:
The court martial for the trial
of General Fitz John Porter met in
Washington November /, 1862.
1t consisted of Generals Hunter,
Hitchcock, Rufus King, Prentiss,
Ricketts,, Casey, Garfield, Buiord
and Morris, with Joseph Holt as
Judge Advocate General. The
charges were made by Brigadier.
General B. l.. Roberts, formerly
Inspector. General of Pope's army
in Virginia. The specifications
We're to the effect that on the 28th
Of August, 1862, Porter disobeycd
a positive and urgent order of Gen
cral Pope to bring his corps up to
the help of Hooker and Mcdowell
at the second battle of Bull Run
that on the Goth of August he again
disobeyed the order of General
Pope; that on the samo day be
failed to attack tho enemy, though
positively ordered to do so: that on
the evening Of August 20 he again
disobeyed an order 20 march his
command to the field Of battle and
report in person to General Pope
for orders, but permitted one of
his brigodes to march to Center.
vile and remain there during the
severe battle Of August 30 that
he rctrcated from tho enemy with.
out any attempt to engage them or
to MD our troops who were rely.
ing Upon .he flank attack he was
ordered to make.
Porter was convicted on the evil
dcncc Of Generals Pope, Mcdowell |
and Roberts, Lieutenant Colonel
Thomas Smith, Captain Drake Dc
Kay and others. The unanimous
testimony of these officers was to |
the effect that Porter could have |
brought his troops into action, but
did not; and that if ho hal done
his duty the robeI army must have
been beaten, and part Of it destroy
cd.
The finding Of the court was,
that Porter was "guilty on every !
ono Of tho charges preferred" and I
the sentence, which was approved
by President Lincoln on the 2lst
Of January, 1868, cashiered him
from the service. ~. Y. Eveaing |
