TO THE AFFLICTED-DEAR FRIENDS:

be injustice to suffering humanity to state you the
great medical effects of my Pam Sedrcher in promptly
curing Rheumatism. l have cured hundreds of cases
during tina last five years. among which / shall only

July 5th was called to a young suffering so
terribly that he could bear he touched much less

end of IS hours he arose. and walked upstairs without
help; he is (July lTth) perfectly we'll. He only
used two bottles. Another who had been under
medical treatment about year, under care
He could neither dress unress himself: yet in five
weeks he could do good days work usual in the
rolling mill He only used five bottles of Pain Stdrcher
to make the cure. Another of fifteen years stand
ing cured 10y the Pain Searcher. This gentleman
had made very few full weeks at work during these
years, account of the aches and pains times more
thah others he suffered. He is now perfectly well.
Another young lady who had suffered badly
for four months under medical treatment could not
move in the least without suffering terribly yet in
sixteen hours after using the Pam Searcher she arose
and walked across the room, and only few days
required to restore her to perfect health again.
Another, and the last shall refer is boy of
IL years lie could not move at all, and yet in about
n hours he and walked the room and soon
restored to health again by the Pain Sedrcher-
These and hundreds of Others refer to. The ooh

OF human being and from to six bottles has

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE,
THIS COLUMN is OPEN TO ALL.

For The Cecil Wing.
1t has been said, by an eminent man and
writer, "that this world is one vast stage,
on which every one must act his or her part
in the great drama Of life some taking
those characters which portray all that is
ennoblns, honorable and praisew orthy,
bringing to view whatever religion NOR
aiity, literature, science or art can do
towards developing whatever is good and
pure IN our depraved human natures. But
alas. there are those who take the charac.
ter of murderer, seducer, thief and SLAM
derer; yet among all these desperate actors
there is none so mean, contemplate and
to be desplsed, us the anonymous scandal
nrttef. No family too pure, no eden so fair
and beautiful, but whose happiness and
peace can be marred and disturbed by the
slime of this reptile. The vocabulary of
the English language does not possess words
strong enough to express the contempt in
which they should be held. Any commuu-
ity, and especially small one like ours,
infested with one or more of these people,
is doubly cursed, and, when known, will
be avoided either for pleasure, business. or
home, as the city in which pestilence
walketh in noonday-or where the leper is
heard crying unclean, unclean! Too cow
ardly to openly visit the post office to pur.
chase stamp for their vile productions;
but, like the mid night assassin, stealing in
the dark to do their mean work. What
sayeth the Scriptures in regard to the Sian
derer and backbiter: When they fast !
will not hear their cry; when they offer
burnt offering and oblation | will not &C
cept them; but will consume them with
my wrath, saith the Lord of Host" When
the Ethiopian can change his skin, the
leopard his spots, or the thieving crow be-
come the innocent turtle dove. then, and
then only, can any good be expected of
them; and the sooner they are found out
and Missed out Of the community, the bet
ter will it be for its prosperity, peace, and
quietness.

When from any of the numerous Incl

Whaling and perverting every vital pro-
cess, and causing Boils, Carbuncles,
Blotches, Pimples, Coughs Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption, Dysentery, Kid

disorders, all originating directly or indi-
rectly from the Liver. Keller's Vegetable

the Liver by providing for the removal of
the hillary constituents by the Bowels,

ELsIE's CHILDREN BY Martha Farqu-
harson.. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York.
The mere fact that this is one of the
Elsie Series is in itself proof, more or less
convincing, of it's excellence for Mrs Far
quharson's works have gained an extended
and flattering reputation. Like all others
of the set, "Elsie's Children" is a good
book in more senses than one. 1t not only
pleases the fancy, it seeks to impress the
heart. That very difficult feat in literature,
the writing of designedly moral story
which yet shall interest, and that other diff
ficult feat, the constant introduction of
children, while maintaining at the same
time the spirit and naturalness of the dia-
logue, have been achieved. The chief &C.
tors in the story under notice are Juveniles
vi and Eddy, Molly and Cal; yet the au-
thor, by her mastery over child nature, is
able to hold the readers attention. AS to
the influence her books are calculated to
have upon receptive readers, it cannot be
too highly spoken of.
AS the accomplished authoress of the
Elsie Series, Miss Martha Finley, has, we
believe, made Elkton ner permanent place
of residence, we republsh the above notice
of her publications, cut from the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, as pertinent recognition
both of her reputation as writer, as we'll
as her excellence as a lady. In addition to
their literary merit, Miss Finley's series
has attained deserved popularity by force
of their recognized moral excellence. AS
books for the young, they supply long
existing need for such reading as educates
both the intellect and the affections. While
the naturalness of her descriptions of youth
full character is not sacrificed to mere liter
airy effects, yet the individual traits of char
acter she portrays are suggestive and in
structive alike to matured and Juvenile
readers. The writer of every good book,
puts its readers under obligations for addi-
tional means of selfimprovement and moral
culture. Such publications are always well
come, as necessary offset to the flood of
cheap and worthless literature, that pours
in Upon every household. We congratulate
Miss Finley upon the reputation she has
already achieved, and hope the future has
in store for her the fullest realizations of
her literary ambitions.

INDUCED TOO FREELY IN WHISKY
On Tuesday last, Mr.. John Pitt, near
New London. sent his five mule bell team
with the driver, Mr.. John Peters, and Jas
Howell, assistant, to this place for load
of sawed timber, not being able to obta in
the same, they concluded to indulge little
in tangle foot. but not being accustomed
to the use of North East lightning, they
soon became unable to manage the team.
The driver Peters fell off the wagon, the
wheels passed over him, which dislocated his
shoulder. DR.. Housekeeper was called III,
and, after rendering him all the assistance
possible, he was tied on the wagon,
lest he should fall off again and perhaps
receive more serious injury. Howell, the
assistant manager. drove the team about
one mile, but not being able to remain
longer on the saddle, took lodging in a
fence corner near the railroad. Mr.. Sam
uel Bouchel took charge OF the team. Al
a late hour of the night, Howell was run
into in the middle of the road, about one
mile IN advance of where he first took lods-
ing, by pedestrian. On being asked what
he was doing there, replied: HE, its none
of your d--n busineSs-hic.'
