Editor Robertson Register: see by
notice in your paper that Dr. McrumoTe,
that justly celebrated physician, formerly
OF New Orleans, but now Of Memphis, has
consented TO make a professional visit 10
your town. IL is with no ordinary degree
OF pleasure that l pen this testimonial OF
my appreciation OF his eminent skill as a
physician; and Of him personally as an
honorable, heightened gentleman. speak
from personal knowledge and experience.
Many OF those who have known me in
years past can bear evidence OF my dread
full condition or health, as well a. now my
slmOss miraculous recovery. For ten or
twelve years. previous to the past few
months, l suffered extremely from dispep-
sia, (indigestiOn,) disease OF the kidneys
and bowels, and finally complicated with
disease OF the lungs, palpitation OF the
heart. and extreme nervousness i could
not bear any strong or nourishing diet, and
had 10 resort 10 the simplest ioed, and IN
quantities barely sufficient 20 keep up vital
existence. When my lungs became in
yOlyed. attended by cough and eXpectora-
ton, | then felt ~ though / must give up
all hope OF recovery. l consulted those l
deemed good physicians-they were and
are good physicians in ordinary diseases
they are my friends, and I esteem them
highly, but their best efforts did not arrest
the progress Of my disease; hence my con
ditiOn becoming daily worse, il cannot be
wondered At that l had about given up all
hopes OF recovery.
About the first OF September last, DR..
Mortimore was called 10 visit Mrs. Lawson
Fort, near neighbOr 10 me, as also several
other Of my neighbor friends, who were
unable 70 visit him nc Memphis. l was in
duced 10 consult him, and 1 rejoice to-day
that did. He pronounced my case criu-
cal one, but said he would do the best he
could. and hoped TO restore me TO ordinary
health. / paid his fee in advance, and took
the chances. / found him prompt and hon
Orable in his course OF treatment; his medi-
cines mild, pleasant and efficient Soon my
health began 70 improve, and hiss continued
10 improve ever since. Now / can eat as
much Of stroI 2. nOurishing diet rs any one
ought to eat. My digestion Is good, ner-
vousncss and palpitatien ceased. Being
thus relieved, and my general health being
rapidly restored, am enabled 10 attend 10
the active out door business duties Of life.
DR.. NJ, has attended many Others in my
neighborhoOa with the same happy results,
aud l think none regret paying him his
moderate nominal fee in advance. know
do not; and had known at first the bene-
fetal results 10 ensue, l should have been
willing 70 have paid hve or ten times the
amount.
His candor with all his patients is COM
mendable, while his knowledge Of the
treatment OF diseases is not surpassed, II
equaled, by any man in the profession at
tho present day. Those who are afflicted
should not neglect the opportunity offered
by his visit. Very respectfully,
I. II. GARDNER.

my duty, as wen as my privilege and pleas
ure, 20 give you this testimonial OF my high
appreciation Of your skill IS a physician

Hoe THIEVES. - Some uncon-
scionably hungry rascal last week
shot one of the hogs of our fellow
citizen, John Lester, who lives four
miles south Of Jackson, and after
shooting it, stuck the hog with
view no doubt, to preparing him for
the table, but the work was so
bungingly done that the hog got
away and went home. That kind of
thing has been going on there for
some time. a few doses of buck
shot, delivered from the muzzle of
shot gun, to the operators, might
put stop TO it.

CFThe New York Sun, an out
spoken anti-Grant paper, in dis
cussing the coming Presidential
election says: ''There are three
lines of policy open to the demo-
Gratis" which it proceeds to enum-
crate, as follows:
They may place a respectable cam
didate like Mr.. Hendricks on a cow
ardly platform which viii please
nobody, and thus lose a large ma
jority of the States in both sections
of the Union. Or they may nomin-
ate a straightforward man like Mr..
Groesbeck, on bold, explicit plat
form, and make q splendid dash for
part of the Northern States, leav-
ing the South to fall prey to Grant.
Or they may take Lyman Trumbull,
4 Republican of Democratic antece-
dents, who would get every Demo-
cratic vote in the North which
Groesbeck could, and every Demo-
cratic vote in the South which Hen
bricks could, and a sufficiently large
Republican vote both in the North
and the South to insure his election
by as great a majority as Grant OBJ
tanned over Seymour.

Editor RusSellrille Herald Having
long been an invalid myself-sufering from
chronic disease Of the liver, kidneys, stom-
ach and bowels, reduced almost 10 a skele-
ten-and = helpless invalid, 1 employed the
ablest physicians Of our county, as also OF
Nashville, none Of whom could arrest the
progress Of my disease, but decided my ease
a "HoPELEss ONE" and that 1 must "SoON
DIE" l was so feeble that L could scarcely
stand or walk. DR.. NJ. was called, and after
a few moments conversation and inYestiga-
ton, made HIS diagnosis "a very different
one from that sf any other who attended
mel From his statement Of cause and
effect was convinced that he understood
my case, and had hopes that he would cure
me, as / discovered that he was familiar
with all forms OF chronic diseases. there
fore complied with his terms and placed
myself under his treatment.
My Improvement in health was rapid,
and has been continuous, until, from n
mere skeleton. 1 now weigh one hundred
and ffty pounds, and feel that under his
eminent skill and the blessings of a kind
Providence, / am restored to good health.
Mine, however, is not the only ease wish
to refer TO, rs some might deem il ''cOin-
eident." At my earnest solicitation he was
induced TO visit Mrs. +. Lawson Feft, and
q number of others near Port ROYAL and
Adams Station, Robinson County, Tennes-
see. Mrs. Fort (whc is my Wiie's mother.
had for long years suffered from a eompli-
cation of chronic diseases, among which
may mention dyspepsia and extreme ner-
vousness. The ablest of the faculty had
attended her or been consulted, yet none
could cure or give hope, more than simply
to palliate extreme paroxysms. DR.. Nj.
placed her under treatment, and her i'm
provement in health and rapid recovery
seems to rival that OF my own.
Those who do not know me can learn no

pastor Of the Baptist Church, and Professor
