the tenacity Of death. She sailed forth from her
wild mountain home, to act the Good Samaritan,
with this unknown vegetable powder, which Eshe
claimed possessed a wonderful power over all
Diseases incident to The female sex. She termed
it womb physic," with which she proposed to
cure all affections and arrangements of that or
gan, and kindred complaints FREE OF CHARGE
With such singular magic did she relieve all who
applied, that within few years her name and
fame became known fa1 and vide, and hundreds
of suffering females applied for relief and return

enxious to know her great secret, and large sums

MATRIMONIAL Recommendations contempora-.
ry Of the Lexington Gazette, was in an old maids
flutter the other day over the marriage of one
of the beautiful bellies Of that quiet sedate town.
In this he is excusabe, as it is the first marriage
that has taken place there for several gears.
= Our friends of that town are intent, it would
appear, on ebettering' their condition as laid
down by st. Paul: 'sHe that marries does we'll
he that marres not does better" Lexington
came very near being q heavenly town, where
there are ono marrying nor giving in marriage"
We don't profess to be so good over here in this
growing city, for the matrimonial market is ex-
cited here and further down the Valley almost up
to fever heat, as the marriage notices in the VIR
GILMAN fully attest the past few weeks. Matrimo-
ny appears to be epidemcal in its nature If not
contagious, and generally carries off the 'irst
born" like the plague in Egypt-at least all the
old bachelors and ladies of uncertain age
wish it would. And it is SO like misfortunes, it
never comes single handed, but sin troops" We
hear of marriages and rumors of marriages,
s'In brilliant array"
and wonder what the excitement oil means, Or
the cause of it. unless it is the recent sudden
change in the weather. We wish them oil mer-
ny time.
As an adiendum, we desire to put o conun
drum to our reverend brother of the quill of the
Gazette: Was st. Paul Benedict or not ? If so,
why did he say married man does well, but a
single man would do 'better ?" we pause for a
reply.

DIVULGE HER SECRET

Before dying. In few years, as the sombre
shades of night began to close around her totter-
ing frame, she impaired this great secret to this
friend.
She too gained quite a reputation for relieving
the suffering of her sex, and strange as it may
appear, she scarcely failed to curesthose old
chronic female complaints that had resisted all
ordinary modes of treatment. Many years ago
the writer of this while engaged in the Practice
of Medicine, by little strategy, succeeded in
nrocuring the secret of this wonderful vegetable
Regulator, which had never been known to the
Medical Profession.
He gave it fair and impartial trial in the
treatment of various forms and stages Of female
complaints with such decided satisfaction, that
in 1860 he called public attention to its virtues in
