This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as
II Is of the most healing balsams and penetrating
oils, can never fail to almost every afiiction
that coHld be allevated by external remedy. Its
superiority over all other Liniments is proven by
the miraculous cures it Performs and by the great
and constantly increasing demand. Thore has been
sold within the past year more than THREE MILLION
who do not bestow upon it the highest praise for
the rare virtues 1t possesses. Nothing, perhaps,
since the creation of the world, has been success
full as an external remedy for all nervous diseases,
as this wonderful curative. When applied, it in
spontaneously diffues itself through the whole sys
TEN, soothing the irraed nerves. allaying the most
intense pains, and creating most delightful SEN
sation. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundESds, who were fully &C
quainted with the whole c instance.

difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night
watch was kept, fearing she would snffocate. The

they said there was no help for her but to outgrow

when she became so much worse that the doctors
had to be called in again; they decided thar the
tonsils must be cut Off as the only means OF giving
reEef. My wife would not consent to tnis and she
determined TO try your LIniment which gave re-
lief the very first application, and by continued
use che entirely recovered. She is now ten years
old and ieshy and healthy could be desired
Your Liniment is also the best in use for spraIns,

Some Of the newspapers having arranged
for the President to 60 to the White Sui

six months, asked him about it. "Ah,"

half a dozen times during the war Yes, [
think OF running down there a day or two
about the 1st OF August-say 60 down Sat-

like that, but certainly no long stay. My

When 1 go to White Sulphur IL will
only be-, as I say, for day or two, for a
little recreation. p told him that the peo-
pie of Richmond were calculating upon his
returning from the springs through their
city. He said that some time during the
cool weather of the coming winter hemight
make little visit South, but at present he
had no route laid OUT It was possible Chat
he might return from the springs via Rich
mond, but he had made no plan to that
effect; in fact. had made no plan at all, only
that he thought he would run down to the
White Sulphur: about the LIST OF August.
Some suppose that he will not want TO go
to the! springs il the so-calied Democratic
conference comes off about the time he
thinks OF visiting there. but don't imagine
he cares two cents how many Democrats
drink sulphur water at the time he does.
The visit will be without political signlh-
canoe, but simply for rest and sulphur

The prominence of Bonaby Price as a

be: however, that his theories are tainted
with that spirit of rapid generalization
which, though plausible, Is unsatisfying,

happens that those who have S!ocB colt1te-
