The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it superiority over all remedies ever
offered to the pnble for the SAFE. CERTAIN
SPEEDY, and PERMANENT cure of Ague and
Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or
long standing. He refers to the entire Western
and Southern country to bear him testimony to the
truth OF the assertion that in case whatever will
IT fail to cure he directions strictly followed
and carried out. In great many cases a single
dose has been sufficient for q cure, and whole
families have been cured by single bottle, with
perfect restoration Of the general health 1t is,
however prudent, and in every more certain to
cure, il its use is continued in smaller doses foI
week or two after the disease has been checked
more especially in difficult and iong-standing
cases Usually this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the
patient however, require cathartic medicine after
having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, q
single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY
PILLS will be sufficient

Coal oil externally apylied is good for sore throat and diptheria.
 Vigorous motion of the jaws, as if masticating, will stop bleeding at the nose.
 A thick cream of common whiting and water is excellent for burns ol scalds.
 A spoonful of ground coffee smol dered oh coals IS the best purifier for sick or musty rooms.
 An ounce of cream tarter in pint of water drank at intervals is said tC be cure for smallpox.
 The ammonia of the commercial fertilizers manufactured in the sub ufbs of Augusta, Ga, has completely driven out the chills and fever and other malaria that used to infest that locality.
 TIE ABUSE OF CoNDIMENTs.-- Ii does not follow that because condi ments are useful, that we may not have too much of them; on the con. trary their best effect depends upon their being used in moderation. The more decided the flavor of any arti ce of food, the sooner does it pal upon the appetite. It is one of tho peculiar merits of French cookery that flavors are so delicately blended no one is specially prominent, anc yet by their different combinations { wonderful variety of appetizina effects IS produced.

The Montgomery Advertiser has official returns of the late Alabama election from all the counties in the State. The democratic majority is s9,274, which is 45,000 larger than any previous majority. Only six counties went against the democrats, and in these independents were, for the most part, elected to the legisla- ture, The two counties giving the largest majorities were Dallas and Montgomery, both of which contain a heavy negro population, and went republican in 1876 by overwhelming majorities.

 Dear Sir: 1 agree with you en- tirely in what you say Ill the DEMO GRAF of this week concerning my nomination by the 'Independent Laboring Mans party for Circuit Judge and thank you for the com pliment you pay me in that connec stion. am glad to have the conti- dence of ALL our people, but of course 1 have no sympathy with any polit- ical party, new or old, except the Democratic party. Col. Houston of Clarksville, who is, 1 believe, a Re publican, wrote me yesterday inquir- Ing whether if elected Circuit Judge, 1 will serve and whether 1 nave au thorized any one to say 1 will not serve, or, have told my friends to vote for Col. Jacoway. 1 have an swered him this morning and en- close you a copy of my answer as indicating the view which l take of ]. my duty in this matter. The letter which is published in this week s immigrant was written in hurry lis therefore unnecessarily long) and would never have been written AT ALL if 1 had not been eXasperated by a remark of Col. Jacoway to friend of mine, and had not felt that his note to me on the 24th inst. indicat- ed distrust which he ought not to have entertainod after my notes to him in April last
 I would have called to see you as I came home on Wednesday, but reached RussellvilIe late and only . had time to get my dinner before the train left. Your friend,

OZARK, ARK, Aug. 30, 1878

 Col. .Jno. $. Houston, Clarksville, Ark:
 Dear Sir 1 answer your letter of this date by saying, as 1 did to a gentleman of your county few days ago, that while it would hardly be respectful to the people of any Judi cial circuit, to say, iE advance that l WILL NOT serve them, even if elected, without any word or act of mine to promote such a result of the ap- preaching election; yet it is plain that I cannot say l WILL serve, if elected, without being regarded as a candidate. 1 cannot give my con sent to be so regarded, because Col. ,Jacoway is the nominee of the Dem ocratic party and because also of the fact that I stated to him at Clarks- vile in April last, that l could not even consider the question of becom inc a candidate while he or either of the other gentlemen who had become candidates under the impression that I would not be, continued his candidacy.
 We nearly all observe party usages Tn these matters, but l am of course oratiiied by expressions of conf dence coming from any of our peo- plc. I have never desired and do not now desire a reelection. Some individuals seem 10 think that If this is so, 1 ought to appear, in order to be consistent, perfectly inditfeent to tue wishes and feelings of the peo pie, concerning this important matter.
 All that have said to my friends in the way of advice about voting Is found in the enclosed letter publish ed in the "Ozark Democrat"
 Please show this to Capt. A. 5. McKennon. Yours truly,
 w. w. MANSFIELD.
 P. S.-Perhaps I ought to answer the first clause of your second ques ton more specifically by saying that l have not authorized any one tc say either that l would or would not serve if elected. But l have repeat edly said I do not wish TO BE vorEI FOR AT ALL

 N. YOCUM. PAIN AND DISEASE. Can we expect to enjoy good health when bad or cor rupt humors circulate with the blood, causing pain and disease; and these humors, being deposited through the entire body, produce pimyles, erup- tions, ulcers, indigestion, costiveness, headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism, and numerous other complaints? Remove the cause by taking Vegetine, the most reliable remedy for cleansing and puri- flying the blood.

 ALI DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. If Veg etine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health, after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine perform Ing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon pub lie attention.

A correspondent of the Southern Plantation writes as follows about the flour of a well known plant: l have discovered q remedy for consump. tion. It has cured number of cas- ses after they had commenced bleed ing at the lungs and tle hectic flush was on the cheek. After trying this remedy to my own satisfaction, l have thought philanthrophy required that 1 should let it be known to the world. It is common mullen, steep ed strongly and swectened with cof fee sugar, and drink freely. The herb should be gathered before the end of July if convenient. Young or old plants are good, dried in the shade and kept in clean bags. The medicine must be continued from three to six months according to na- ture of disease. It strengthens and builds up the system instead of talk ing away the strength. It makes good blood and takes inflammation away from the lungs. It is the wish of inc writer that every periodical in the U. B., Canada and Europe should publish this receipt fol the benefit of the human family. Lay this up and keep it in the house ready for use.
