DEAR SIR-Your medicines, Golden
Medical Discovery, DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, have proved of the greatest
service to me. Sixmonths ago no one
thought that I could possibly live long.
L had a complication of Diseases
scrofula, manifesting itself i'll erup-
lions and great blOtches on my head
that made such sores that [ could not
have my hair combed without causing
me much suffering; also causing swol-
len glands. tonsils enlarged, enlarged
or ''thick neck, " and large and numer-
Gus boils. also suffered from a ter
rible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact I
was so diseased that life was a burden
to me. [ had tried many doctors with
half dozen bottles Of your Golden
Medical Discovery and one dozen
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At til st was badly
discouraged, but after taking four
bottles of the Discovery began to
improve, and when had taken the re-
naming [ was a0eU. In addition to
the use of Discovery applied soluble
Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck, as
you advise in pamphlet wrapping. and
1T entirely disappeared. Your Dis
cOvery is certainly the most wonder
full blood medicine ever invent Sd.
thank God and yon, frora t he depths
of my heart, for tie great good it has
done me.
Very gratefully,
Mrs. L. CHArFKE.
Most medicines which are advertis-
I'd as blood purifiers and liver medi-
clnes contain either mercury, in some
form, or potassium and iodine vari-
ously combined. All of these agents
have strong tendency to break down
the blood corpuscles, and dehilitate
and otherwise permanently iDjure the
human system, and should therefore
be discarded. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand,
being composed of the fluid extracts of
native plants, barks and roots, will in
no case produce injury, its effects
being strengthening and curative
only. SarsaparilIa, which used to en-
Joy quite reputation as a blood pu-
riher, is a remedy of thirty years ago,
and may well give place as it is doing,
to the more positive and valuable
vegetable alternatives which later
medical investigation and discovery
has brought to hight. In Scrofula or
Kings Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers,
ErysIpelas, Swelled Neck, Goitree,
Scrofulous determinations, Indolent
Inflammation, Mercurial Affections,
Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin and
Sore Eyes as in all other blood dis
eases DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has shown it's great rene
dial powers, curing the most obstinate
and intracta Die cases. Sold by all

THE EMMA MINE SUIT.
The English Company Required TO
Give bonds.

The suit brought by the Emma silver
mining company against Trenor w. Park,
II. Henry Baxter and VIM. NJ. Stewart, to
recover the five million dollars paid for the
mine, on the ground that such money was
obtained by fraud, was before Judge Dono-
hue in New York, Wednesday, on motion
on behalf of the defendants that the com
pany, being foreign corporation, be re-
quired to furnish security for costs in case
it should be beaten in the suit.
Gen. J. G. Mccullough, Mr.. Parks SON
in-law, made an affidavit that Mr.. Park
was absent but was then on his return TO
New York.
The motion was made on the afii davit of
Gen. II. II. Baxter, In which be character
lies every statement of the complaint,
which imputes to him any fraud, conspir-
acy or wrong in respect of the Emma mine
or of the sale thereof, or in respect to any
of the matters contained in the complaint,
untrue, of his own knowledge and upon
information and belief, he says that every
statement in the complaint imputing any
fraud or other wrong to the other defend
ants, or either of them, is also untrue that
he has complete and perfect defence to
their action and intends to make such de-
fence at the trial T; that the plaintiff is a
foreign corporation, organized in London
in November, 1871, and that the sale of
the Emma mine was made before January,
1872, the shareholders well knowing all the
facts, and nearly year after the mine was
inspected by committee Of the officers
and shareholders, who expressed their EN-
tire satisfaction Herewith.
Judge Donahuc directed that the COM
pany file bond of $4,000 as security for
the costs.

Terrible Tornado.
AUGUSTA, Ga, March 90.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March co.
A fearfully destructive tornado passed
over here this afternoon. This city being
situated in basin was protected by the
surrounding hills from the fury of the
storm. The rain fall was accompanied by
hail unprecedently heavy. Several towns
IN the interior suffered severely In the loss
of life and property. AT Comac, on the
Georgia railroad, several houses were blown
down, Thomas Geesbing was killed and
several persons were wounded. Near
Thompson, forty miles from Augusta, a
large amount of property was destroyed
and several persons killed. AT Appling, in
Columbia county, the destruction to pro-
perry is reported to be great Several per-
sons are reported killed and many wound
ed. At Aiken, S. G., the Catholic church
was completely demolished.
All telegraph lines north but one are
down. The reports from the country are
confused and unsatisfactory as to the ex-
tent of the damage and the number Of lives
lost. But there seems to be no doubt that
the storm was a. fearfully destructive one,
surprising in extent and violence anything
of the kind in this section for years.
LIST OF CASUALTIES
by the tornado is near a thousand John
l.. Stevall and wife, and two daughters of
N Morgan badly wounded by falling
houses. Several negroes killed and wound
ed at Appling. The houses of s. Hutch
inson, Scion Rees, John Boston and others
are destroyed. Mrs Martha Darch and
Bailey killed Miss Malone, Mrs. Grey,
seriously wounded. One end of the court
house was blown in. At Casnack every
house except one is destroyed. Mr.. Field
ing, Telegraph operator, was badly bruised.
Tom Gesling, who was on top riding when
the tornado struck the train, complete
ly demolishing 1t, was killed instantly.
Trains coming to Augusta, except on the
Central road, are delayed, but there has
been no serious damage to railroads. No
loss of life or damage to property In Au-
gusta.
