Ola John Morris, the colored aah VINO
used to bring ahuck cellars and twist tooac-
co to the city. has been arrested on very
serious charge. From the first, he toek .
deep interest in DR.. Tanners children-of-
Israel experiment, and on one occasion
was heard to remark that DR.. Tanner
yould be the begt-adyertised nlan In
America, and that any medicine made Dy
hirn would have ready sale. Yesterday
he came to tie city, and exhibited paper,
showing that he was the sole agent tor the
! Tanner anti-bilious cordial. He went
| around to d colored tenement house ana
read his certificate and produced his nedl-
cine. The colored people can fight against
malarial influences with much more sue
cess than white aaan can ever hope to at
ltaia-yet they are always ready to take
/ anti-bilious medicines, come think because
/ @itpIaeeg them nearly upon an equality
1 with white people.
i well, old John exhibited his anti-bllious
i cordial, and as an inducement to colored
! purchasers he proposed to give 4 certificate
I of billousness. .-z-...
