Twisted Bones.

Mr.. j. r. Stewart of Macon, Ga,
we'll known and trustworthy gentleman,
makes the following statement: My
son, who was between three and four
years old, was all drawn up with rheu-
lnatisTu. His bones were twisted, and he
was ail doubled out OF shape. He suffered
intense pain, had lost his appetite, was
cross and fretful He was reduced to q
mere skeleton, and had to be carried about
on pillow. AS these cases of rheuma-
tism, where tho bones were twisted and
the Joints were all crooked, had for years
baffied the skill Of the most eminent
physicians. I determined to use Swift's
Specific, as had seen testimonials from
similar cases it had cured. used two
large size bottles of s. s. S. according to
directions, with the most satisfactory re-
Suits My son commenced improving
with tue first dose Of the medicine. His
sufferings diminish ed daily and his ap-
petite increased; he became cheerful and
in good spirits. Gradually he regained
use of his limbs, the twisted bones and
joints Strengthened out and in less than
swo months he was entirely cured, and
could walk and get about as well as any
child of his age.
Beware of limitations of Swift's Spocif-
ic, gotten up by unprinclpled parties to
deceive the public; some of these frauds
bear the lie on their faces purporting to
be vegetable remedies, when they are
really nothing but strong solutions Of
mercury and potash.

to persuade the Townships more immedi-

Guilty would have been increased by ex-
tending it.. No burden was ever yet ad-
justed with exact equality to all men.
The question is, will it pay. you to give

in the outset to pay for the grading. Tho
idea thsn Wes to grade the road with con-

Company, and if we could have got tho
convicts on these terms we could have
done the work with the original subscrip-
ton. But we couldn't get the convicts,
and we couldn't abandon the enterprise,
and the question now is Needing but
small sun to finish the grading and there
by to insure the completion of the road,
will it pay you to contribute this small
sum
Don't say that we might, or that we
ought, to have done this or that; but If
you want the road take hold of the matter
as it presents itself to you now, and if it
will pay you to vote this tax, vote it like
intelligent men. If voted and promptly
tho road Can and Will be completed, and
in operation by the Fall Of next year, and
certainly by January, 1856.

Mr. William L. Hope, of Brooklyn. Some few
weeks ago the horse. not appearing to feel well,
was taken to an eminent veterinary surgeon of

altogether satisfied with the doc tors opinion,
Mr.. Hope thought a change might be beneficial.

two celebrated New York doctors were called
