AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.


YOur agent being in Columbus Ca q few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
J. II. Campbell, We asked him for the news.
His reply was. Il have two more important
This venerable man IS known far and wide for
his unTemitting labOTS of love in the behalf of
the poor Of Columbus. il viii be remember
cd that the Swift Specific Co. has donated
quite an amount Of their famous medicine, to
be distributed by Mr. Campbell among the
poor of the city; hence his remark He said:
Il have just seen q lady who has been great
ly annoyed by letter in one of her hands 1t
had given her much trouble and pain. She
said she had been treated by several phvSi-
clans during the past three or four years with
the old remedies, but without giving any re-
lief. l suggested Swift's Specific and she took
four bottles and is now apparently perfectly
well her hand is smooth, and not single sign
of the disease is left. 1t is marvellous how this
medicine renoyates the system
What about the other case -
well, that was q lady also. She had been
badly affected with eczema for four years.
Her face, hands arms, as we'll as her body.
were covered with sores ana scabs. 1t was
one OF the worst cases Of this terrible disease
that have ever seen. The suffering OF this
poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand, including mercu-
~ and lOdide of potash, hut Sue only grew
worse, She was in THIS condition when [ first
saw the case. | soon had her taking Swift's
Specific, ana she has now only taken two bot
ties, but every mark OF the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved 1t is one of the most re-
markable cures that has come under nv no.
tice, and in ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class of society and OBJ
serred closely the variety of diseases which
affect humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the mos, difficult to remove.
To overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
judgment that Swift's Specific is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are
wonderful, and I consider them almost mirac-
ulOuS. There is no medicine comparable 30 it,"

MEDICAL USE OF EGGs.-For burns and
scalds there is nothing more soothing than
the white of an egg, which may be poured
over the wound. 1t is softer as varnish
for burn than colodion, and being always
on hand, can be applied Immediately. 1t is
also more cooling than the ''sweet oil and
cotton" which was formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay the smarting
pain. 1t is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort experienced
from ordinary accidents of this kind, and
anything which excludes air and prevents
Inflammation is the best thing to be applied.
The egg is also considered one of the very
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up
lightly, with or without sugar, and swallow
ed at gulp, it tends by its emollient quail
tiles to lessen the Inflammation of the stom.
UGH and intestnes, and by forming tram
sient coating for these organs enables nature
to assume her healthful sway over tho dis
eased body. Two, or ct the most, three
eggs per day would be all that would be re-
quired in ordinary cases, and since the egg
is not merely medicine, but food as we'll,
the lighter the diet otherwise, and the
quieter the patient is kept, the more certain
and rapid is recovery.

LINCOLN AS AN ADvoCATE-Linc was,
upon the whole, the strongest jury lawyer
in tho State. He had the ability to perceive
with almost intuitive quickness the decisive
point in tho case In the examination and
cross examination of y witness he had no
equal. Ho could compel q witness to tell
the truth when he meant to lie, and if q wit
ness lied he rarely escaped exposure under
Lincoln's cross examination. Ho could Al
ways make jury laugh, and often weep, at
his pleasure. His legal arguments address
ed to the judges were always clear, vigor-
Gus and logical, seeking to convince rather
by the application of principle than by the
court when he was trying cause would,
after few moments, Gud himself on
Lincoln's side, and wishing him success.
He seemed TO magnetic every one. He
was so straightforward, 50 direct, so candid,
that every spectator was impressed with
the idea that ho was seeking only truth and
justice. He excellcd in the statement of
his case. However complicated, he would
dsentanglc it, and present the real issue in
so simple and clear way that al could un.
derstand. Indeed his statement often rem
dered argument unnecessary, and frequent
ly the court would stop him and say, "If
this is the case, Brother Lincoln, we will
hear the other side" His illustrations were
often quaint and homely, but always apt
and clear, and often decisive. He always
met his opponents case fairly and squarely,
and never Intentionally misstated law or
evidence.
