Gents-I make the following statement from q
perfect conviction and knowledge Of the benefits OF
ALIENS Lusa BALsAM in curing the most deep
seated Pulmonary Consumption: have witnessed
its effects the young and the old and can truly
say that it ia by far the best expectprant remedy
with which am acquainted. For Coughs, and all
the early stages of Lung Complaints, believe it
ia be certain euro, and il every family would keep
it by them ready TO administer upon the frst APP
pearance Of disease about the Lungs, there would
be very few cases Of fatal consumption. 1t causes
the phlegm and matter to raise without irritating
those delicate organs Uhe Lungsl and without
producing patton Of the bowels. 1t also gives
strength to the system, stops the night-sweats
and changes all the morbid secretions to healthy
state. Yours, respectfully,

A correspondent of the Albany Even

letter from one who was with Commo-
dore Maury in bis last hours, and who
testifies in q tender and interesting
manner to the happy death Of that
great man. We quote:
The last two days OF Matthew H.
Maury's lie were grsnd-a complete
triumph. In perfect possession OF his
faculties to the last. wish all the
world could have seen that death, it
was such triumphant one. We sang
hymns around his dying bed, and after
the last one, Friday eveniug-it was
Christ is risen"-he put out both
hands and said, slowly and distinctly;
The peace of God which passeth all
understanding be with you all-sll. .
He blessed every one separately, and
prayed ever az fervently, and in the
most beautiu language. He said he
would be in a moribund condition for
several days. Twice Friday we were
all summoned; he would look around,
and if all were not in the range OF his
sight he would call out the names OF
those whom he missed. Gaz'
ing earnestly into the face OF
each, he said something appropriate and
affectionate, always winding up with
