PERsoNAB Explain ,TIoN-Many persons
do not understand what is meant by the
Great Southern Preparations. Let US
explain. At Memphis, three experienced
Southern physicians, one Of Memphis, one
from Mississippi and the other from Loui-
sjana, united their mental powers, their
money and their experience, for the purpose
Of preparing for the Southern people class
of reliable Family Medicines, to be used in
lieu of the many that are from those who
know but little of our diseases, and they are
called the Great Southern Preparations
being eighteen or twenty in number. They
are neither secrets or patents. C. NJ

DR. JoHN BULL-Dear Sir: l have re
Gently given your Worm Destroyer sew
eral trials, and find it wonderfully eficacious.
1t has not failed in a single instance to have
the wished-for effect. / am doing a pretty
large country practice, and have daily use
for some article of the kind I am free to
confess that l know of no remedy recon-
mended by the ablest authors that is so GER
tain and speedy in its effects. On the con-
trary, they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing YOU Is to find out upon what
terms l can get the medicine directly from
you. If l can get it upon easy terms, l
shall use a great deal of it l am aware
that the use Of such articles is contrary tc
the teachings and practice Of great majority
of the regular line of NJ. DIS, but l see NJ
Just cause or good sense IN discarding a
remedy which we know to be efficient, sim
ply because we may be ignorant of its com
binatiOn. For my part, l shall make it a
rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which J may be able to
commandment hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured for him
self the right to use that knowledge. How
ever, [ am by no means an advocate or sup
porter of the thousands of worthless nostrums
that food the country, which purports to
cure all manner of disease to which human
flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform
me of your best terms.

Cn1IlS and Il ever.
The proprietor of tins celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for it a superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever viii it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out In
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
ficient for a cure, and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle with perfect
restoration Of the general health. 1t Ia,
however prudent and IN every case more
certain to cure, if its use is continued in
smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially IN
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid TO
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patienth however, requires cathartic medicine,
after having taken three or four doses of the
Tonic, a single dose of BULLS VEGETA-

" woman suffrage" We think the women "suf-
ferr enough now, but We know Of no political
rcpson for denying them an equal share with the
males in political power. There may be other
good reasons for IT, and the chief that suggests
itself is that the best women will decline the new
responsibilities, and 50 the pantalooned politicians
will have the aid only Of those whose aid is least
desired by the best men. If the people really
think -clrrunning grist mill is the best for cor
porations, they have only 10 say so at the next
elsction-and that is easier and safer than rigid
Constitutional provision. Asto biennial sessions,
let us consider whether it is best to double up the
term of all State officers Senators and Represent
atives, and OF all County officers. Unless these
are limited to one term only, the proposition will
cut out just one half of the young Vermonters
who are anxious to walk up the rounds Of the po-
litical and judicial ladders. Is it best to check
their ambition? Is it best to turn the people
themselves out Of the habit Of annual cectionsi
habit that keeps up the interest Of the people ii
affairs OF state Finally is it best to fix things Sc
as to require two years to take the back track
when the legislature, or his excellcncy the Gov
enor, or his honor the Lieutenant Governor, OF
their honors the Judges stray into the wrong

To our Subscribers.

The last meeting Of the Editors and Publishers
Association in this State recommended the adop-
ton Of the system of prepayment Of subscriptions
to al the papers Of the State. In our judgment
this is the best system for the subscriber as well
as for the publisher Action has, however, been
delayed by contemporaries as well as ourselves,
until it is rather late to put this recommendation
in practice in all cases the coming January We
have determined, however, to 50 far commence
practice under the system Of prepayment as to en-
ter the names Of no new subscribers on our list
after this date, unless the subscription is prepaid,
and to discontinue all new subscriptions when
the time for which they are paid expires. And
we shall be obliged to all our present subscribers
&c they WILL as far as possible, commence with
The new year to pay us in advance and such Of
them as are indebted to us on their present sub
scrption, will aid us materially if they will settle
this, and pay US for the coming year.

n Attention has been specially attracted to
the recent trial of 5. NJ Andrews, charged with
the murder of Holmes, at Plymouth, Mass, as
allowing persons charged with crime to testify on
their own trial. Against this practice it has been
commonly urged that the accused would be likely
to invent theories and abricate stories that would
confuse and mslead the jury, and thus defeat the
ends of justice, The result in the case of An
drews seems to make directly against this theory
for he was not only promptly convicted after
giving his testimony, but convicted of the higher
crime of manslaughter, his own clear and con.
nected evidence having dispelled the theory Of
insanity, which had been set up as his defence
and which all the ether testimony seemed to rem
der ut least plausible.
