DIRECTIONS FOR ITS USE

DOSE-0ne table spoonful in a wine glass
of water at dsy-li Eht, Immediately after each
meal, and on gong to rest, for Dyspepsia,
General Debility, Cold, Cough, Scrofuls,
Hopping Cough, Measles. Menstrual Obstruc-
tiops. and Obstructed Urine. For the other
diseases meuti Jned above, dose the same, to
be taken every thirty minutes, or until the
disease begins tn abate, then every two hours
until perfect relief is obtained Dose for a
child one year old, one tea spoonful in new
milk or sweetened water, more or les, owing
to age. By adding One-fourth Of tea spoon
fui of powdered sulphur, TO dose of this
Compound taken six successive nights on GO
ing to rest, the itch will entirely disappear,
without subiectng the system to the evils so
frequently growing out of the use of sulphur
alone. Although this compound has none Of
the properties of an emetic, nor does 1t act
directly as a Cathartic, yet such are its stimu-
lating properties, that it often promotes dige't-
ion; yet in Dyspepsia, should cOstlVeness pre-
vail, gentle purgative should be resorted TO,
so as to keep up regular evacuation; and
great caution should be used, so not to dis
tend the stomach, but drink freely Of slippery
elm water in case of cOstlveness We have
mentioned no disease above but those we have
known speedily cured by this Compound, to
the establishment of hundreds, after all other
known remedies had entirely failed; and from
the medical properties Of the vegetables COM
posing it, together with the establishment it
has produced in the cure of diseases that for
years resisted the treatment of Physicians of
the highest rank, we conscientiOusly recon
mend It's use in all diseases arising from loss
of the proper tone of the stomach. This mix
ture is entirely palatable, and may be used by
females to great effect in particular cases,
when a speedy termination TO the surface is
necessary
We are apprised of the coutemptuOus light
in which the public are apt to view certificates
companving medicines; yet we beg leave to
subioin a few only OF very extraordinary cases
of ancient date, and from persons of unm-
peachable veracity. Our bottles will be put
up in the neatest style, bearing the signature
of the author, with full direction for using il.

A Moral Hero.

When, only few weeks ago, the
cholera was raging in the slums of
Berlin, the capital of Prussia, a young
physician, scarcely in his thirtieth
year, made himself remarked by the
boldness and persistency with which
he entered the infected quarter, and
the apparent recklessness with which
he exposed himself to the contagion.
1t is worth while that his name should
be recorded and well remembered: it
was OTTO OBERMEIR. He had ano-
ther object besides that of relieving,
and, if possible, curing, the poor crea-
lures whom he visited; he proposed
himself to investigate, in the presence
of the living pestilence itself, its caus-
es and its development. At last, the
brave young soul thought that he had
discovered the clew; and, with hero
ism as far above the heroism of the
battlefield as it is nobler to sacrifice
ones self to save men than to destroy
them, he resolved to test his discov-
cry upon himself. 1t was an awful
experiment; OBERMEIR knew full
well that he staked his life against the
hope of conquering the cholera. OBJ
tanning from one of his patients some
of the deadly choleraic germ, he went
deliberately to his room, placed a ia
bic with pencil and paper at his bed
side, lay calmly down upon the bed,
opened vein in his arm, and insert
ed the deadly poison. He thought
he had discovered how to neutralize
it; if so, man was master of the pesti-
lence forever more. But he was
wrong, and the error was fatal. He
lived seven hours, and then died; but,
during those seven dying hours, the
young hero observed, with scientific |
the effects and progress of |
the disease upon him, and one after
another he noted his observations
down, until within the very halfhour
when the spirit left the body. These
notes are pronounced to have the
highest value, and will serve the
with new facts of the first
and so the dying legacy
Of OTTo OBERMEIR may, after all,
lead TO the victory which he condemn
ed himself to self-destruction in try
ng to achieve

Death.DaTnP Ina Wells.
The Chattanooga Times SAYS:

Hon. VIM. Crutchfield gives US a
simple method of rescuing persons
from wells who have been attacked
with clamps" 1t consists in sending
down on to the patient a steady
stream of water for a few moments.
The stream of water, in passing
down, creates a partial vacuum which
is filled with pure air that passes in
from the top and expels a portion of
the noXious gas so that person can
go to the rescue of the patient with
out danger.
Mr.. c. put this to a practical test
last fall in the case of negro, who,
though he had stopped breathing at
the bottom of the well, was rescued
and resuscitated and is still living.
A couple Of pals of water will gene
rally be found sufficient to purify 8
well so that persons may descend
without fear of consequences.
This should be generally known.

though it was joy to the poor afflicted soldiers
to find the very thing they needed, our fate
was like thousands Of others who IN like man

with not even an empty bottle, and we fell
among the slain. This accounts for the
reason of our loHg silence. From this time

With divers dreams my breast hath fired

AS doth the hawk turtle>dove

Beyond all power to save it,
And the said mayhem did with art,

If so, there's trespaSS in the case,
Want Of consideration.
Error ofJact, and breach of trust

By quibbling with the statutes in
Such case made and provided.
