Truthfully yours,

y TINE HoNRoED SPECIFIC. The long
and successful career of DR.. WIsHART's
FINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums devoid
of efficacy which have from time to time
been pulled into brief notoriety during
the twenty odd years that this celebrated
medicine has been sold, affords a proof
that the American public continues to re-
pose its confidence in deserving articles
only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL has
long been recognized as the leading specific
for Consumption, Bronchitis Diptheria,
Coughs, Colds Asthma, and all other dis
eases of the breathing organs. 1t is, more
over, certain, speedy, and safe botanic
remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Disorders,
Scrofulous Affections, Constipation, Uri-
nary Troubles, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility,
and Female Complaints. Constantly accu-
mulatng evidence of an unimpeachable
character establishes the fact that it not
only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that it's action
Is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated

Twenty different stories regarding the
May and Bennett duel were told by twenty
responsible persons, and each one accepted
his own theory as the correct one, and
promulgated it accordingly.
The current view taken of the matter
about the city was that the meeting was Il
Pickwickian affair, and that the two young
men only popped oft couple of blank
cartridges for the notorety of the thing
It is a genearly accepted fact that not
over three or four persons in New York
are in possession of reliable information
regarding the affair aud these few persons
are not only reticent. but show DISPOSE
ton to mislead questioners. Although
efforts are being made to make it appear
that Fred. May of New York. was not
injured, is is given on the authority of a
member of the family in Baltimore that
May 1rds r0uhded in the duel beyond all
question of doubt. 1t is also pretty certain
that DR.. Fred. May, who acted as second
and surgeon in the encounter, is not now
in Baltimore, and has not been since it
occurred The members of DR.. Fred.
Mays family were very much opposed to
any duel from the first, and disown all
sympathy with the affair.
