EPSON, N. H., May 8, 1870.
Dear Sir-Having received great benefit from
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, | am willing to
add my testimony to the thousands of others
constantly sounding its praise. During the
late war was in the army, and had the mis-
fortune to be taken prisoner, and was confined
in Salisbury and other Southern prisons several
months, and became so much reduced in health
and strength as to be mere skeleton of my
former self. On being released, L was fit
subject for Northern hospital, where I re-
NAMED some two months and then came home
My physician recommended and procured for
me several bottles of PERUVIAN SYRUP, which
l continued to use for several weeks, and found
my health restored and my weight increased
from ninety pounds to one hundred and fifty
my usual weight, and 1 have been in my usual
good health ever since; and l can cheerfuly
recommend it in all cases of weakness and
debility of the system, whether arising from an
impure state of the blood, dyspepsia, or almost
any other cause believing it will in most cases
give entire satisfaction.
Yours truly.

DIR. Scott's cures in some instances are indeed
wonderful, especially in Nervous and Chronic Dis
eases of long standing. The 'Famous Wyomoke
or Nerve FoOd,'' with which he has had such brill
liant success, is the result of assiduous scientific
search, and without doubt the greatest triumph in
medical science yet achieved by man.

Gently. Here is an extract: sour
present civil service system, is so
idiotic, so contemplate, so grotesque,
that it would make the very savages
of Dahomey jeer and the very gods Of
solemnity laugh. We will not hire a
blacksmith who never lifted a sledge;
we will not hire a school-teacher who
does not know the alphabet; we will
not have a man around us in our bust,

unless he has served ar apprentice
ship and can prove that he is capable
of doing the work he offers to do. We
even requires plumber laughter and
pause by speaker. that he shall at
least know which side of the pipe is
the inside. [Roars Of laughter.] But
when you come to our Civil Service,
we serenely fill our minor public Of
fees with ignoramuses. We put the
vast business OF Custom-house in the
hands of q flat head who does not
know a bill of lading from a transit Of
