From a Lady in Memphis.

MEMPHIS, January Zou IcOo, MEssRs. MANSFIELD & HIGBsE-
 Gents: For seven years past I have been sufferer from Chills and Fevers, frequently to such an extent as to keep me confined to bed for weeks. Rem edy after remedy was tried without my fnd Ing relief, until I despaired regaining my health. With many doubts l consented to try your Tsras Tonic Syrup, and to my grati- tication experienced immediate relief. For precauton sake took the entire bottle, and now six months have elapsed have not had a single chill and my strength has fully re- turned. l consider the Tsrds Tonic Syrup to be eminently the first and best Fever and Ague Remedy of the age.
 Very respectfully,

PURIFY YOUR BL0ODlIl

Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing il, ] first introduced it 10 the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge
 All other Compounds or Syrups ofthis root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi7 ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, anG oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurley's preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect certain and perfect cure of the following com plaints and diseases:
 Affection of the Bones, Habitual COstiveness. Diseases Of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Fry

Commission MFRcnAsrs. = Ia olden
times the cotton factors and commission
merchants Of Memphis were sustained
by planters, but in late years that rule
has been reversed-the planter, in his
crippled state, looked to his merchant,
who responded to his earnest appeals for
advances At the close Of the war, until the
commercial wheels began to clog, and
merchants, to great extent, refused to
continue their advances the past season.
This had n beneficial effect upon the
planters, who planted with an eye single,
the past season, to raising supplies for
their own consumption. In this connec.
ten, we would direct the planters atten-
ton to the card of Messrs Rossel &
Foster, cotton factors and commission
merchants, No. 800 Front street. They
make liberal advances on all cotton con-
signed to them for sale, and when parties
wish them to ship cotton to. New Orleans
or New York, will advance two.thirds to
three fourths Of its value. This will en-.
able planters to hold over such depres-
sion as we had last season, and realize
the full worth Of their cotton.
