GENTLEMEN DR.. LIGHTHILL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit OF
the suffering 1 wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplsced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear a very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated BY ihe best physicians Of the coun-
try and had bafled the skill Of all. DR..
LighthiII kept her under bis immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and 10 three months was entirely
we'll and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper TO state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. LighthilPs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your e1-
,ensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

We Yesterday noticed in the possession
of our friend w. S. Higgins, of Manches-
Ter, who has been sojourning for few days
in the city, an odd looking cid silver medal
whose history dates way back into the days
OF the first American Revolution. In size
and formation il bears a near Likeness to a
silver dollar, although in weight precisely
equal TO two dollars On one side is a
neatly wrought figure representing the
goddess of liberty. Above this figure are
the words, in English capitals, "LibertaS
.4mericas," and underneath it the date, a
July, l776." The reverse side of the
medal is embcllished with. thepicture of an
infant child attacked by lion, and fe-
male figure in the act of vigorous assault
upon the vitals Of the beast. Above this
historical representation are the words,
"Non sine dis dnimosuS infdns," and below
the dates, az Oct, IVY" and "l9 Oct,
1881" This medal has been the property of
its present owner for the past twenty-five
years, and he designs retaining it through
out his lifetime, if possible, as an heir
loom of Revolutionary memory.
