A CURE FOR DYsPEPsIA.-It is not often
that we take greater pleasure in recommend
ing any medical preparation to the use of the
public than in speaking of WHITES SPECIALITY
FOR DYSPEPSIA, which we know to be an ex-
cellent panacea for that most disagreeable dis
ease. 1t is not new preparation, but has
stood the test of years and i is working has re-
ceived the unqualified praise of many eminent
physicians. 1t is not claimed that it will cure
everything, but it does claim to be the best
cure for Dyspepsia yet discovered and this
this claim is substantiated by the testimony of
those who have been benefited by its use and
whose testimony cannot be gainsaid. Relief is
always obtained from the first use, and a per-
manent cure is effected when properly contin-
ued. - asa dc1I-iw

blowing briskly from the northwest at the

FRIEND EWING Il desire to insert in
your paper, this week, the demonstration
of kindness and friendship of the people in
this section of Cecil-Principio and Charles
town, principally. Taking myself and
family by surprise about noon yesterday,
many horses and carriages in procession,
and some on foot, with baskets and bags
of provisions, each and all really enjoying
themselves around the bountiful tables,
spread with good things. A handsome
gift to my wife, and greenbacks in an
envelope, under my plate, as sat down to
dinner, turning it out on my lap, and con-
sdering so many blessings coming in so
suddenly, the crowd of people, in both of
the large rooms joining with me i'll singing
''Praise God from whom all blessings
iow,' &c. 1t was truly social, pleasant
time but more than this, in singing our
songs of Zion and having prayer, it seemed
to be a good religious time. Thank God
for kind friends. These things came to
me in time OF need, and my family and
appreciate this donation visit, as many real
valuables were left. 1t is the prayer of my
heart, that as l am about to move away,
Charlestown Circuit may have one of the
best preachers in Wilmington Conference
sent to them the coming year.
