LEXINGTON, Mass, June %, 1875.
PROF. ALPHONSE KILLER:
DEAR SIR:-For the alienation of human suffer-
ing feel my duty as well as pleasure to certify to
the following facts in my own case:
The past spring 1 was sore afflicted with Sciatic
Rheumatism suffering night after night and all night,
without the least cessation, the most excruciating
pains ever knew. My doctor who practced in my
family for thirty years. to my entire satisfac
ton, and in whom still have the utmost confidence
said that "medicine would do no good-he could
not help me, time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime
must grin and bear it." But was not disposed to
do and in my desperation caught at the first arti-
Gle, which under the name of Quack or Patent Medi
cine, any other remedy, promised relief 1t hap
pened that this was the
Diamond Rheumatic Cure,
obtained at No. 3S Hanover street, Boston. The
statements accompanying directions seemed reason
able, and determined to give it fair trial. 1 did
so, at the time being without faith in its ELL
cacy folloIe the directions. and the results
that using the third bottle sensible that it
acting powerfully and favorably, and before
ing the fourth bottle my pain had passed away and
have occasion to grin with joy that no longer
have to bear them.
Yours respectfully,
VIM. D. PHELPS.
Mr.. Phelps is gentleman well and favoraby
known in this community, and for the past 40 years
has been recognized by our shipping merchants as
Of the most successful captains sailing from this
port. This testimony is genuine and speaks more
Than volumes could express in favor Of the great
merits of the

This medicine is prepared BY careful, experienced
and conscientious physician, in obedience to the de-
sire of numberless friends in the profession, in the
trade and among the people, Every bottle is war
ranted to contain the full strength of the medicine in
its highest state of purity and development and is
superior to any medicine compounded for this
terrible complaint
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses SUFFICE
In the most chronic it is to give way by
the use of four or five bottles By this efficient and
simple remedy hundreds ofdollars saved to these
who can least afford to throw it away surely it is
by the purchase of useless prescriptions.
This medicine is for sale at all Druggists through
out the United States and Canada. If it happens
that your druggist hasnot got it in took ASK him

STOCKING THE EASTERN SHORE RIVERS WITH sHAD.
The rivers of Eastern Maryland arc being
stocked with shad from the Matching grounds at
Coppage's Landing on Chester river, few
miles above Chestertown. About half a million
young shad have been propagated at that place
during the four days preceding last Friday and
on Saturday fifty thousand were put into the
Choptank at Denton. An equal number was de-
posted in the Elk river yesterday, and the re-
mainder will be distributed among the other
rivers which traverse the Eastern Shore.
These young shad have been Matched under
the direction of Messrs. Downes aud Ferguson
the State Fish Commissioners, who were moro
successful in this than any previous effort.
They obtained "riper" fish, their Matching box
es, two hundred and fifty in number, were less
disturbed, and more satisfactory results have
been reached at Coppage's Landing than at any
previous place of effort. The young shad were
very small when removed from the bo1es-not
longer or thicker than pin, not yet plainly dis
cernible to the naked eye when first the water in
which they are disporting is brought within the
range of vision. They are nevertheless strong
and vigorous, and the propagators are OF the
opinion that the most of them will develop into
fully matured shad. Transportation from the
Matching ground to the rivers into which the
young fish are placed is made in large tin cans
