found around almost every dwelling and cabin

who buys them carries a ''toper's" grog into his

cure chills and fever, rheumatism and oonsump-
ton; another, whose bottle is very fancy, cures
all impurities of the blood, makes old men young,
casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and
numerous other miracles; while yet another,
who presumes every man drunkard, proposes
to cure collie, ingrowing nails, yellow fever, heart

Mr.. DETRIcK-Dear Sir The following are
some of the names of parties who have used
Bradley's Super Phosphate, viz: Benjamin Blu
sey, Of Berkeley county, has used it for the last
two ars, and says it's second to no other Phos-
phate and recommends it to all farmers for wheat,
corn and sill farm products.
Jonathan Thatcher of Berkeiy county planted
some corn with it in 1868, and in the Fall sowed
the same with wheat, and last year he could
plainly see where every hill of corn was, for the
wheat stood several inches higher, and the heads
were much larger.
Adam Small has been using it the last three
years, and says it is the best wheat producer out
VIM. McGary has used it to great advantage
and says it will pay for itself twice.
James Vanmetre has used it extensively, and
says every farmer should buy it particularly if
he has poor land.
Levi Taber, George Small, John Linton, Geo.
Hill have all tried it OH corn, wheat, &C., and
can testify to its many virtues.

FEMALE COMPLAINT.


That claims its victims throughout the length and
breadth of our land.
Many females in some way at each monthly
period; some girls are in great peril at the com
mencement of menstruation, while older ones
dread its decline at the "turn of life" Some
times the menstrual flow is too mucn too little,
or may be attended with PAIN may be irregular
or entirely checked, changed in appearance,
attended with other distressing symptoms. Leu
corrhea, or the I" Whites, frequently drains the
system, or liberation of the womb may create
pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly COM
mon complaint giving much trouble and distress,
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.

Womb, and other serious and fatal complaints fol-
low the female sex throughout life Lives there

there combination of remedial agents that
will come to her rescue? We answer, Yes.

DEATH IS All THE DOOR.


In all these complaints the system evidently
shows a want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill in
his work on Diseases of Females, says: 'Bear-
ing in mind that the bloodi is remarkably deficient
in red corpucles, and the known property of iron
to correct this condition. theory suggests it as
the most to be relied on, the best of which is the
Citrate" Citrate of Iron enters largely into the
composition of English Female Bitters, combined
with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the
piney woods of Mississippi, is found certain
hard and iinty root, which has been in secret use
by some old midwives for many years, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all fe
males suffering with any affection of the womb
This root we have obtained, gave it fair test in
our practice and it is now one of the principle
ingredients in these bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general tonics also enter into It's com
position. We also add Leptandra or Black root,
sufficient to act upon the liver and keep the bow
els open.
