PERUVIAN SYRUP
PERUVIAN SYRUP
Restored TO Complete
Health.

BROOKS, Me, Sept. 7, 1870.
Dear Sir-From early youth / was in
feeble health, troubled with bumor in my
blood, weakness and debility of the system
generally; was unable to labor much and
only at some light business, and then only
with great caution.
Seven years ago the past Spring had a
severe attack OF Diph'neria, which left my
limbs paralyzed and useless, so | was un-
able to walk or even sit up. Noticing the
advertisements of PERUVIAN SYRUP 1
concluded to give it u trial, and to my great
joy soon found my health improving. 1
continued the use of the SYRUP until three
bottles hal been used, and was restored to
complete health, and have remained so to
this day.
attribute my present health entirely to
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and hold
1t in high estimation. l cannot speak too
highly in its praise. l have in several
cases recommended it in cases very similar
to my own with the sam good results.
Yours truly,
CHAS. E. PEARCY.

A few years ago the names of Oil

were on everybody's lips, and the towps
themselves were large and fourishins.
The oil wells, on which they depended
for their prosperity, ceased TO flow,
and their inhabitants were driven to
seek business elsewhere. For long
time the city Of Titusville also had il,
its vicinity large number of flowing
wells, but year or two ago these we'll,
ceased flowing and we're abandoned
Now it is reported that they have
broken out again, and several of them
are flowing ten to twenty-foar barrel~
per day. 1t will be somewhat sinsn-
lar if all those abandoned wells shall
again become active and profitable.
Should they do SO, it Will 60 to show
that the wells are exhausted by the
continuous strain upon them, and that
after having had time to reeuperate

lishea, owners OF wells which have
ceased to flow will not be SO eager to
dispose of them as they have hereto
fore.

army groups designed by Larkin g
Meade and cast by the Chieopee Arm
Company, Of Massachusetts, are rapid

far removed from the groups that. they
are fairly exposed to view The groul,
intended to stand on the right of Lin

arm of service The centre figure is
that of an officer garbed in the infant
ry uniform Of 1861. He holds tbs
colors of his command far aloft, and Is
leading bis men to action. On has
right is an infantry soldier, with all
his equipments, who is rushing for
ward with his musket and bayon~t
lowered to the charge. On the left il
the figure ofa drummer boy, who has
slung his drum, and who, with pistol
in his right hand and drum-stick In
his left, is pushing forward, full of ex-
element.
The naval group is to be on the lea4

ofthe celebrated seventeen-inch mortarn
so famous in the various Mississippi
river expeditions. A powder monk

the right of the mortar stands an off-

the excitement observable in the other
figures Of this group. The groups
weigh about 5000 pounds each, and
cost $3.50 each. They may be vi
slted and inspected now, and with the
advantage of closer. examination
than is possible when they are in final

THE EASTERN WAR.
Turkish Reports of Russian
o0l Defeats.
The Russian Campaign Probably
Ended for the Season.
RETROGRADE MOVEMENT OF
THE TURKS.

NEW YORK, September %. A Coustantinople
special says there are rumors there that Suleman
Pasba has Intercepted communication of the Rus
SLAMS between Shipka Pass and the town of Cab
rova; also that the Turks have cut off the retreat
OF the Russians, surrounding them on all sides.
1t is also reported that Osman Pasha has re-
pulsed the Russian attack on the eastern redoubt
at Plevna, the Russians losing 5000 men and four
guns.
Another report is that Prince Hassan crossed the
Danube below Siistiia, with 10000 Turks, to in-
tercept Russian communication with Sistova,
while Mehemet Ali asras the Russian front at
Bjela.
A London despatch says the Russian campaign
is considered ended for this season. The heavy
rains now falling on both sides of the Black Sea-
prec ude any serious injury to the Russians BY the
Turks. Dissatisfaction Is reported IN the Russian
ranks at the course and result of the campaign.
The army probably has been supplied for the
winter during the month. Mehemet Ais right
Will lie about kazetevo, with Rasgrsd as the base
while his left will extend as defle south of Os-
man Bazar, being within easy support from
Shumla.
Correspondents with the Czarowitch are not
sanguine as to his ability to force the line of Kara
LON, notwithstanding the arrival of several dlvi.
SONS of the imperial guard
LONDON, September 90 The retirement of Me.
hemat Ali behind Kara LON, seems to indicate
the Turks will be satisfied to muintain the present
advantage and depend on the winter to force the
the Russians back across the Danube.
A Shumla special says the Retrograde move
ment Is partly because the recent rains rendered
1t difficult to bring up supplies, and partly on ac-
connt of the Russians massing considerable forces
ON the l-om. 1t would appear from this that the
idea of holding the country between the LON and
the lantro, IS abandoned by the Turks. Thus it
once more becomes possible for the Russians to
blockade and isolate Rustchuk.
Snow has been falling at Shipka Pass since
Monday, and is now ten centimetres deep at the
foot OF the balkans.

were sent in, whereas now it takes from two to
three weeks to get the return. We believe the

will scarcely pay for the delay. At least one
