Dear Sir-I purchased 'Poise in Feb
ruary '93 and it cured me of chronic bad
cold, and now I hardly ever take cold.
1t also cured me Of lumbago and q dis

Catarrh.

LANCASTER, 8. G., August l, 1891.
I consider the Electropoise most WON
derful discovery. have applied 1t in my
family for Ia grippe, acute sore throat,
neuralgia and nervous headache with
perfect success. am also treating q
severe case of chronic catarrh with the
Electropoise as the agent, and It has given

intelligent use of it carries conviction with
it. Yours truly,

water they chose to drink. From the
time they were taken on board the
SLAYER, they were stinted to the small,
est allowance of food and drink by
their captors. The grateful creatures
fell at the feet of the officers and crew
of the Peacock, and kissed their shoes.
Of course they could not understand a
word spoken to them, but actions do
speak louder than words.
The Fleet Wing proved valuable
prize, aside from the grand object OF
freeing her slaves. Of course to land
them at the mouth of the Bonny river
would be to place them once more in
the hands of their enemies, and thus
consign them to perpetual slavery, so
they were carried down the coast to
Sierra Leone, and handed over TO the
court established for their protection.
The brigantine was lawful prize to
the Peacock, and was sold 10 ali En-
glishman who fitted her up afterward
as yacht. She was known in the
English channel for a number Of years
under the same name as that she bore
as SLAYER, being quite famous for
speed and sea-going qualities. The
Fleet Wings name occurs in many
modern regatta.
The officers and crew of the Peacock
realized considerable prize-money from
the capture of the brigantine, as she
had large amount of choice ivory
and tobacco on board, and over $13,-
600 in Spanish doubloons in her cap
tain's private locker.
The slave trade is no longer carried
on by sea, though it is still thrifty
among the inland tribes of Africa.

Catarrh, Piles, Dyspepsia, Etc.

MILLETTsvILLE, 8. c., Feb. Il, 1895.
Gents-The Electropoise has done all
that you claimed for it. had compli-
cation of diseases, catarrh, rheumatism,
piles and dyspepsia. I was nearly gone
up, had the knife used on the piles, and
soon after got the Electropoise, used ac-
cording to directions and am still using 1t.
I was without energy or appetite, and am
now a new man. Can eat three hearty
meals day, enjoy and digest the same.
Almost relieved Of catarrh. cannot say
too much for it and recommend it to all
that are sick. May God aid you in reliev-
ing the afflicted. I have been great
sufferer and know how to appreciate the
Electropoise. Very truly,
