LUNG SYRUP.-Thousands of persons
die every year, from that dread dis
ease, Consumption. We constantly
read of some discovered remedy and
sure cure. As the man or woman
finds that he or she is infected, and
pronounced incurable, their great
desire is to find something which shall
at least prolong life. DIR. A. J. Flagg
of Claremont, n, H., being aware Of
this fact, and the importance OF meet,
ing the requirements of thousands OF
bis fellow beings, gave his attention
to the matter, and after years Of ex-
perience and trial has discovered a
remedy which he confidently believes
will do all that he claims for it. His
Cough and Lung Syrup is pleasant to
take, and has worked wonders in a
MEDICAL point of view Persons at
ficted with CONSUMPTION, Bronchitis,
Asthma or any of those diseases,
should by all means give it trial,
and see if it does not do all that is
claimed for it.

following to that paper:-"Ihe truth
is, the colored race at the South have
been too long sacrificed to enrich the
carpet-baggers. who have ruled them
so unjustly, and to aid in the advance

who have hoped by their aid to ad,

race have deal Of good sense, and
they are rapidly finding out the true
character of their pretended friends
There will soon be published reve-
