on receiving this letter, but, perhaps, not mora
so, or more gratified, than 1 was to hear from
you. The manner in which heard from Won

and noticed your name, as representative elect.
which experienced on reading Is indeSertbG-

ceiyed at your hands long years ago had never
been forgotten, notwithstanding our cores
pOndence has been broken FOR seventeen years.
Well, sam, ! won't attempt TO give you more

dents or the past, in which you and were con
nected, crowd upon my mind that 1 cannot
think or write OF myseli Does your-rnin nd ever
revert 10 the past, when we nrst met-hOw you
took me in as q partner, when those who

pocketed eleven thousand dollars out OF the
Deep Claim" you gave me in Maraposa, and
started FOR home in June, 1855. Invested four
thousand dollars in real estate in this city, md

property here has yielded me handsome In

business in New York city, in which was very
succcSsful-sOld out two years ago, since which

with the smallpox. The lady of the inn told
me that was fortunate to take the disease at

I tor near by who never failed to cure, no matter
how bad the disease; and sure enough, began
TO recover within four hours after commencing 4
to take the medicine, and in twenty-four hours
/ felt quite we'll. I was so much elated with
the magical effects OF the medicine that vas
determined, II possible, TO obtain the formula,
in which 1 succeeded, by paying handsomely
and promising not 10 divulge Ii in France.

disease among yOu. The enclosed package
contains the formula and sufficient material
for family use.- I have cured all the eases that
have come in contact with, and find IL an in
