nR. CRUMB, established for many
~ years in Buffalo, by an entirely new
system of medication, treats successfully
Catarrh, Bronchitis, and Diseases of the
Lungs, Liver and Kidneys, also Difficult
ties of Confidential Nature, wherein
skill and experience are required. DIR.
Crumb has developed a practice which
from its unparalleled success i'm thousands
of cases, many of very aggravated char
acter, is able to positively guarantee per-
feet and permanent cure in every case he
undertakes. He sends no Circulars or
Treatises on these diseases to his patients,
as it is undeniable that such knowledge is
in general extremely prejudicial, exercis-'
ing an injurious effe>S, by retarding and
frequently eountergcting cure, tending
to alarm the patient, which is the princi-
pal object of such productions, and ex-
cites and exaggerates his fears as to the
durability of his complaint. The Doctor
requires simply brief history of the case
and candid plain statement of present
symntoms--a thorough examination will
tnel Do made, and If considered remedi-
aole-a sincere, conscientious opinion will
be given promptly and such medicine as
will be applicable will be sent by exp press,
accompanied by full and explicit direc-
tions. Charges very moderate and with
in the reach OF all, and success guaranteed.
Such cases as have failed under other
treatment particularly desired. All letters
must enclose S1.00 for consultation fee and
correspondence during treatment, an6 ad-

.4 r 1t is unnecessary
to introduce to you, or your readers
along the River, Uncle Joe Cameron,
whose travels and adventures would
make an interesting book. / merely
wish enough room in your valuable
paper to tell you of an adventure
Uncle Joe had with Constable
In the fall of '63, Uncle Joe re-
ceived an honorable discharge from
the Union Army, ON account of rheu-
matism. Having no family to look
after, and no business in particular,
he concluded to buy small fiat boat
and start down the Ohio River from
the vicinity Of Cincinnati, for the pur-
pose of hunting and fishing.
The day before starting, all things
being ready, he came across an old
acquaintance (who, by the way was a
bitter copperhead) who Immediately
started a conversation in regard to the
rebellion. After some hard talk, he
called Uncle Joe liar. This is a
word that Uncle Joe never takes with
out resenting it, so he gave the chappy
back handed lick and laid him out.
The vanquished debator started for a
Justices Office, and Uncle Joe for the
River, knowing very we'll what the
consequences would be. He jumped
into his skif and crossed over to the
Kentucky side, out of harms way.
About midnight he concluded to re-
turn to his boat, and slip down the
river. Wenn he got overito the boat
he noticed that the cabin door was
open. Thinking that some one might
be watching for him, he slipped up
and listened heard some tall snoring
in the cabin; slips ashore and lets go
the line, tows the craft out into the
river, jumps aboard, and gives a YELL

his hand on Uncle Joe's shoulder
"You are my prisoner" ~
II guess not"
"You are my prisoner" ~
"You had better look around and
see where you are. l think you are
out of your jurisdiction" said Uncle
Joe.

"Oh,. no. Not for less than Eve

it." n'" ~ ~. ~
II command you to land this boat"
said the constable, at the same time
putting his hand into his pocket,
Don't you show anything out that
pocket in the shape of irons, or l win
make fish bait of you," said Uncle
Joe, picking up his boat hatchet
The constable saw that Uncle Joe
Joe "had him." SO he proposed as a
compromise that he would let the old
man of, if ne would set him ashore.
81 don't think you have any hold
of me. but l have of you; so fork
over the V, and will set you ashore
in Old Kentuck." 5000 900
The constable saw that there was no
alternative, SO handed out the money,
and was left on the Kentucky shore
some FIVE miles from home, about day
light. Uncle Joe went on his way re-
joicing, with FIVE dollars extra in his
wallet, and the constable went back
with that an cunt less in his possession,
beside having to reflect over the neat
way he was Caught in his own trap"
