In dyspepsia and other diseases OF the stomach !:
In diseases of the liver, spleen. kidneys. bladder

Letter from DR.. John II. Freeman, Of Lexington,
Virginia.
In an active practice of thirty years, he has never
seen Indigestion speedily relieved us by the Cold
Sulphur Water.
LEXINGTON, VA, August 7, 1858.
Sir,-In answer to your inquiry relative to the
benefit received by myself from the use of Cold
Sulphur Water, can state that In August, 1856,
was so afflicted with dyspepsia rs to be unable to
digest any food except water crackers and tea.
began the use of the water about the middle of All
gust, and in twenty-four hours was able to digest
green corn and other vegetables eaten ut O'Clock
at night and In less than week the water acted
finely upon my liver. In the summer OF 1867 again
visited the Springs, and In three days expert
enced the same effect upon the liver.
In the course of an active practice during thirty
years, have never seen indigestion so speedily re-
lieyed by any remedies or by any mineral water
as by the Cold Sulphur.
Very respectfully

NErTIE SAXYoaD's LEcrrRE.-Mrs. San
ford's lecture at the Court House last Satur>
day evening was 4 very happy effort, rem.
dcring entire satisfaction 10 her large and
appreciative sudience, and pro.ing to her
many friends that her mind has lost none oi
its power Of thought or brillianey Of concep-
ton. Her subject was, rs we announced
last week, "Marv, Queen of Scots," aud
the manner in which she handled her subject
was vivid and beastifal. After describing
the character Of Mary Stuart, and reciting
the piinciT al events Of her life, the lectures
made stirring appeal to hr sex to adopt
more exalted aim than that which now
seems 10 be tie height oftheir ambition, to
take a more .lesated and comprehensive
view Of the duties Of life, and TO prepare
themselves for the stations and responsibilities
which the grand march Of events seem to
indicate will soon dcvolvc upon them. Her
lecture was replete with many charming
thoughts and many thrilling bursts Of gen.
uine eloquencc. Frequent applause greeted
her, and tie audience went away delighted
with the evenings entertainment. We hope
TO have frequent opportunities 10 listen to
to our old friend on similar roccasions-Jaspes'

WHAT ANSWER

Answer the first story published by Anna
Dickinson. II is one Of those books which
belong to the class Of deeds, not words. To
call it a novel, and to talk over il any Of the
hackneyed cant of the artistic merits Of the
story, or to judge Of it merely as story, is
for us Americans, in this hour Of our trial.
as cut Of place as for King David to have
criticised the literary merits Of the little
work Of fiction addresses TO him by Nathan
the prophet in the matter Of Uriah the Hit
tile.
The book is . solemn, earnest, thrilling,
enthusiastic appeal, in which no>
bic woman, herself at case blessed with fat>
tering friends, with applause, with admira>
ton, takes oil in her hand, aud risks all in
pleading the cause Of the poorest, the most
despised, the mos, maligned aud scorned OF
Gods creatures. In the form Of o story she
makes most condensed, earnest and pow
erful appeal to the heart and conscience oi
this American nation on the sin Of cas-, q
sin Of which she makes US feel we have been
but half convinced, and for which we have
only begun to find a place Of ofrepentence.
II anybody csn read that book rnm0ved,
we have only pity for him. No American
however conscientiously be may have es-
poused the cause of the slave, but may gain
from il deeper, truer baptism into the
| great doctrine Of Christianity, that in Christ
Jesus all are brethren. What gives this
story its awful power is its truth. Under n
thin veil Of fiction it presents facts, facts Of
most appalling suggestivehess. and we beg
| the reader to notice carefully the modest
confrmator note Of Miss Dickinson at The
end Of the volume. That she speaks Of tha
she knows, .nl tts i6es Of what she ha,
seen, throughout the whole story. is very ey,
ident. Even the part which st first strike,
| one with most Of an mir Of fiction, the por,
trait Of its heroine and Ter father and broth
er, we have reason to know it is drawn from
actual, literal observation.
That such book as this is needed among
US vet is evident from the fact that the State
of Connecticut, with all the signs and won,
dcrs Of Gods great controversy with us ye
ringing in her ears, and dazzling her eyes
still persists in refusing to the negro Mhs

right Of citizenship. Traitors, copperheads
| all nations and names, however mean ant
degraded, may drop their votes. but brave
black hands; Scared with e shting for US, are
beaten back.
That such book is needed is evident
| from the very issue of the Presidential elec.
tion now before us. There is party whose
war cry is - white mans government, and
no place for the negro" There are already
significant and awful indications Of wha
may be the fate of tLis PEOPLE attLe South i
that party prevails.
Miss Dickinson's book puts the solemn
| question 10 the American nation, What An,
