DIR. SMYTH; = .,.:.
Sir have been afflicted wit 1he Catarrh
for about thirty years. For the last fifteen
years ha We had it III its worst forms. At times
so stopping the nostrils that with the creates
difficulty | could breathe. For a number OF
years have not been able to lie upon my back,
as in that position the dropping of matter from
my head into my throat would almost instantly
produce Strengthening. Very frequently my
eyes and nose and lips have been swollen as if
pressed with some inhammable disease. Dur
ing these years.. ESPECIAL i'll the last ten years,
my sight has been very much impaired by the
influence of this offensive disease. -.
Ny throat and BRONCHIAL tubes have usually
been infamed and exceedingly sore, and have
resulted in hoarseneSs and such q weakness Of
the vocal organs as for time to deprive me Of
the privilege of peech.
Not untrequently extreme dizziness of the
head, while sitting or walking, or in bed az
night, and often in the pulpit, has apparently
given such a staggering or wheeling of the
head that it. has seemed fer moment that
was losing the use Of all my, mental powers,
and was about to fall into some unfathomable
abyss from which | coulu not return.
Neuralgia in the pupil of the eye and under
the curved bones Of the nostrils and in the
frontal cavities, has for many years caused the
severest pains, often rushing with the rapidity
of thought in paroxyisms Of acutest pains
through the entire. head and face anu teeth and
down the cords Of the neck to the shoulders
and sides. These aims have at times been al
most uncomfortable.
In your new method Of administering rem
edies, think syon have reached the .catarrh at
its starting point; have cleansed The cavities
from which inflammation has passed through the
throat and bronchial tubes to the lungs. IEay-
ing been unuer your treatment fol- tue last five
weeks am happy to say that the dropping
from my head to my throat IN the last two
weeks has ceased. The soreness and hoarse-
ness of the throat has ceased, together with
the nenralgic pains of head. face, eyes and
neck, have in great measure subsidized. And
in the meantime [ think | have unmistakabie
evidence that uuder yonr treatment | am in
positive process toward permanent cure,
W hich will soon be secured.
Yours truly, p @. PETTIBONE.

The Racine Ad0occte of Jan. 18th, says:
While Dr.: Smyth. was here in November last
we consulted him IN relation to his treatment
of Catarrh, and finally adopted his remedies;
although rot yet entirely cured, the disease is
rapidly yielding and has ceased to trouble US.
The prospects now are for perfect and more
speedy cure than he thought probablo on first
consultation.
DIR. S. makes speciality Of some of the most
difficult diseases to which the human body is
liable, and of course does not pretend to cure
all. We regard him as 81 skilIful physician,

An idiot Packed in Box and Near
lv Killed.

SEVERAL weeks since half idiOtic
boy, aged between 10 and Il years, lcf,
| this city and walked to Indianapolis in
search OF work. Arriving at his desti-
nation his search for employment was
| unsuccessful, and he concluded TO re.
turn home, but having no money, nj
least very small amount, he started 10
walk back. On Friday last he reached
Acton, Ind, and according to his story,
he met six men, who al first treatel
him kindly. They finally took him in
to an empty warehouse, and after strip
ping him mblacked,him from head to foot.
These ruflians then procured box,
placed the unfortunate boy in IL, nailed
| the cover down, and, in order to make
it more secure, fastened two iron hoops
around Vt. The men then took the box
to the Adams Express Office, and, after
having marked ii III. c. Lord, Esq,
Cincinnati Ohio" stated to the agent
that il contained "live stock J." and they
wished it handled with care. The agent,
after weighing the box, stated that the
charges to Cincinnati would be 81 80.
This amount the men paid and imme-
diately left. Soon the down train came
laundering along, and when it stopped
at the station the box containing the
poor boy was''given in charge iof the
messenger. Fortunately there was very
little freight in the car, and the box
containing olive stock" was placed near
the centre. About an hour after the
train left Acton the express messengers
attentionlwas attracted.byla noise com
ing from the direction where the box
had been deposited. He was soon salts
fed that the noise came from the box
said to contain "live stock" and pro-
curing a hatchet, he, after considerable
difficulty, succeeded in opening it, To
his utter astonishment, e.found in ita
human being, greatly exhausted, and
gaspirg for breath. The boy in few
moments recovered, and related the
story to the messenger. .ttHe was kind
ly cared for, brought TO this city, and
was at the Adams Express Office most
of the day on Saturday. The boy, ,who-c
name we nave Deen ltquCatcu' lOT
the sake Of his mother, to suppres-.
told the circumstances Of the affair to
Mr.. H. G. Lord, President of the !. and
G. r. r., to whom the boy was consign-
ed, and that gentleman Immediately
! telegraphed to Acton, requesting every
one connected with the. road at that
point to come to this city at.once. Mr.
| ] ord IL determined to have a full in
vestigation made, and should the guilty
ones be found out, they will no doubt
receive the punishment which they So
richly deserve There is no doubt, that
had the messenger not discovered that
the box contained a human being, the
boy would have been sutlocated to death
before the train arrived in this city

THE New BONNET. After Cover
nor Gilmer, of Georgia, returned from

ington. He had penchant for old
irons, such RS plough-shares, old car
riagc irons, grud-stonc cranks, Old
shov,ls, and the odds aud ends OF plan
tation tools. attending the sale- OF e--
tates, he accumulated an OK cartload
or two of such stuff, which he dumped
down in Il corner of his yard near his
dwelling, very much 10 the annoyance
Of his wife. The pile kept increasing.
She determined to make away with it
and one day ,Sheritf's sale day sent il
to the court yard with the knowledge
of the sheriff, who loved joke to he
sold to the highest bidder. Governor
Gilmcr that morning rode out of town
a mile or two. and was returning a. the
Sheriff was proceeding with his sales.
Catching the eye of the Governor, who
was looking on, he pointed out to him
the lot Of old iron, and requested him
to make bid for them.

| Delighted with the purchase, he paid
ten dollars, and left them in the yard
for future movement. The sheriff paid
the ten dollars to Mrs. Gilmer. In a
few days she hought "a handsome bon
net, and the Governor, admiring il
very much, said:
"AIy dear, where did you get that
pretty bonnet? II j. beautiful and
becomes you"
"Don't il, husband, don't it!
bought it with the ten dollars you pait
for your own old iron trash"
The Governor wiItcd-he was sole
by his own wife.
But time cured the chagrin, and tn
) good Governor had frequently to joil
in the laugh NJ his expense over thi
little incident,
