Yes, several others. But one more in

days. gave him my maidstone, and he

BLOOD POISON CURED.
Since the above conversation took place
your correspondent received letter from
Mr.. TONNES, in which be reiterates the viz
tues OF his maidstone and says:
"Since | saw you last DR.. V. NJ. Epps,
| Of GAINESVILLE, in this county, had gotten
| blood poison in his hand while dissecting
dead body. He showed me his hand
casually. / asked him to try my mad
stone. He did so, and applied it to the
poisoned hand. He obtained instant re-
lief. His hand ia well and he is in no dan

to the espOusal by the young Earl of Hun

Crusades, relates that the Sedan sent as
a nuptial present the celebrated talisman
on that occasion. The cures achieved by
means Of the talisman were uneqnalled
in success or celebrity in Europe and
Asia.

modern pbarmacOp9a, its virtues are

Mr.. Townes then takes up the history,
and says that friend of his, whose an
cestor was one of the cavaliers sent to
this country by King Charles-and in
whose family the titles of nobility still re-
main-had himself, his ancestor or some
| member of his received as a parting gift
from the family of Lockhart the talisman.

Townes, ''nOr do believe any other per-

In view of the extraordinary cures eff

sent to Virginia before mourning the eX-
