had labored day and night for us, and for
some days quite alone, as bro. Fisher left
on Tuesday, quite worn out, for Dalton,)
sink into the arms of sickness; and in
stead of taking the cars as he proposed to
do, for the north, he was conveyed to a
bed of pain and languishing, from which,
the prayers of this whole community
.ascend to a throne of Giace, that he may
be speedily raised. Our church has been
nearly doubled in number by his labors,
and other churches revived. “It will

News From Alabama.
Evfaula, Ala., June Bth, ’GO.
Dear Bro ;
Believing that you like news, and es
pecially good news, although not well
told, I conclude to tell your readers some
thing of this place. Uev. Dr. Manly,
Sr., is preaching here now to full congre
gations. What this dear old brother has
lost of the lire of youthful days, is made
up by a solemn impressiveness of manner,
that well comports with the office of Min
ister of the Gospel of the Son of God.—
The church here is in a very flourishing
condition. The young Pastor, bro.
Hieeves’ successor to bro. Van Iloose, is
very popular. A’ glorious future is pre
dicted for him, by those who know him
best —may he not be turned aside by the
indiscreet praises that .too often affect, for
a time, many of our talented young Min
isters.
This town, or rather city, is improving
rapidly—property having advanced great
ly within a short time past. It is one of
most pleasant, agreeable places, it has ev
er been my good fortune to visit —I
would add one of the most moral also—
but for the* fact, that the groggeries,
those lures and sinks to ruin, are kept open
on Sunday, and drunken men can be seen
on God’s holy sabbath day, staggering
and reeling along the streets. Why is it,
O, ye Christians, that ye fear to denounce
on all occasions, this soul destroying
practice! Surely if the church would set
its face, as a flint, against this evil, it might
be remedied at least.
The “Uuion Female College,” under
the charge of Rev. J. R. Mclntosh, is in
a prosperous condition. It is one of the
prettiest edifices in the State. When the
Rail Road is completed to this place,
which will be this fall, it will undoubtedly
grow rapidly, as it has a fine back coun
try to support it. Your bro.,
Jean.
Piedmount Association.
Brother Boykin :
I have been waiting <*o see whether or
not, you or some of your contributors
would not notice somethings connected
with our last Convention, that seemed to
me unusual and unaccountable.
I find, in searching the minutes of the
Convention, from ’53 to ’59, that the
Piedmount Association, is not, nor ever
has been a constituent association, or I
am greatly mistaken ; nor did she apply
for membership by the brethren that pro
fessed to represent her. How is this ? I
have looked upon those who did repres
ent her as brethren of great worth ; and
they may possibly explain the matter sat
isfactorily. But from present lights,
there must be a moral wrong somewhere,
and I desire, with a host of other breth
ren, to have light on the subject. If there
is light, let it shine my brother: truth
never shuns light.
Yours with great regard,
James Perryman.
P. S. Whenever I find the Index dis
posed to respect the rights and interests
of landmarkers, as it does the rights and
interests of anti-1 and markers, I, with a
host of brethren, will return again to its
encouragement. J. P.
Note. —Iu regard to the association alluded
to above, we know nothing as to facts; if
those acquainted, will throw light on the mat
ter, we will willingly hear from them. While
we concede to associations the right to say
how vacancies in the number of their dele
gates may be filled ; we must say, that it has
an anomalous appearance for one, not a con
stituent member of any of the churches com
posing an association, to represent that as
sociation. We would prefer to have those only
represent a body to which they are responsi
ble. As to Bro. P.’s P. S., we will say, that
he will find us at all times as ready to respect
the rights and interests of the landmarkers as
of anti-landmarkers. Our aim of late has been
to keep exciting matters out of the Index, and
if possible, arouse a Revival spirit, and pro
mote brotherly love, unity, peace and all the
interests of vital religion.
A Continuous Railroad from Maine to
Louisiana. —The gap in the Mississippi Rail
road is finished and the connection through to
New Orleans, is now complete. The time be
tween New Orleans and Philadelphia by this
route will be only eighty hours. By the com
pletion of this link, there is now a continuous
railroad from Bangor, Maine, to New Orleans,
except three short ferries at Hudson, Susque
hanna and the Potomac rivers.
A Semi-Weekly Pony Express.— A St. Jo
seph dispatch, of the sth, says that on the loth
of this month the company will commence mak
ing semi-weekly trips each way, leaving St Jo
seph Wednesdays and Saturdays and San Fran
cisco Tuesdays and Fridays. As soon as this
arrangement can be systematically perfected
they will endeavor to make the distance from
St. Joseph to San Francisco in eight days.
REMARKABLE GOOD FORTUNE.
It was stated in the report of the New Jersey
Rail Road Company, at its last annual meeting,
the 4th inst., that out of thirty-three millions of
passengers which had been carried over the
road since its beginning, not one had been killed
or maimed.
In ten years, from 1850 to 1860, the city
of Memphis has increased in population from
5,280 to 35,000.
Summary.
“ Washington Institute .”
We understand that an interesting daily
prayer-meeting is in progress there. It is
conducted every evening, from sunset to half
past eight. Very many seem deeply con
cerned upon the subject of religion, and sever
al have professed hope in Christ.
The Annual Examination
Os pupils at the “Washington Institute”
will occur on the 22d, 25th and 26th of the
present month. Delivery of prizes by Wm.
Robson, Esqr., and a literary address by J. D.

To be Removed.
We understand that our Abolitionist Bap
tist Missionaries will be removed from the
Creek Nation for meddling with the subject of
slavery, so soon as the new Agent arrives.
lowa Baptists.
Rev. G. J. Johnson, at the Anniversary of
the American Baptist Publication Society,
said : “We have 229 Baptist churches in lowa,
and only 120 of these supplied with pastors.—
These churches are scattered over a wide ter
ritory many miles apart. There is not one
Baptist colporteur in all lowa.”
Agencies.
Iu the discussion on agencies before the Amer
ican Baptist Missionary Union, Rev. Mr. Al
len of Burmah, spoke of a Burmese church,
which, when visited by agents, gave $l,lOO
yearly, but since these visits have been discon
tinued, gives only $175.
Southern Baptist Publication Society.
This Society has recently perfected the “Un
cle Charles Sunday School Library” of 50 vol
umes. Since Nov. 1859, it has published 20,-
000 volumes, among which are 8 new works.
We will rejoice in its progress and success.
A New Measure of Liberahiy.
Dr. Adger, in the Old School General As
sembly, said that the Presbyterian church
should not congratulate herself on the amount
given to domestic missions, ($118,904 21 cts.,)
when probably the children of the church
spend that much for candy.
An Appropriate Title.
A writer in the Sunday School Times speaks
of certain teachers as “Dry Weather Teach
ers.”
Denominational Action.
The last year during which the Dutch Re
formed church prosecuted foreign missions in
connection with the American Board of Com
missioners, it gave $12,000. The first year
after organizing a Board of its own, it gave
$25,000 ; the second year, $30,000 ; and it is
thought that the present year will show a far
ther advance.
Baptist Church Among the Indians.
Anew Baptist Church has lately been or
ganized among the native brethren and sisters
on the Tuscarora Reservation, consisting at
the time of its organization, of eight members.
Additions have since been made by baptisms
and by reception on experience, so that they
now number sixteen; two more were received
as candidates to be baptised. The right spir
it prevails among them, and there is a good
prospect of continued increase.
The Irrepressible Conflict.
Dr. J. B. Taylor, of Ya., has written the
Watchman & Reflector, of Boston, a most sen
sible and timely letter on the slavery question
—presenting a southern view. Its length pre
vents a transfer to our columns.
A “ Pop-call .”
Mr. J. 11. Chandler, missionary to Siam, ar
rived at Boston in the Arabia on Tuesday of
last week, direct from Bangkok by the over
land route. Bro. Chandler left Bangkok the
27th of March to visit his native land on a mat
ter of private business, which he hopes to dis
pose of so as to return in six weeks or two
months. He is in good health. Ilis family is
still in Siam. The Baptists have there three
missionaries and their wives, and the Presby
terians four missionaries and their wives and
one unmarried missionary. Brother Chandler
speaks of the mission as more prosperous and
hopeful than ever before.
Atlanta.
There is strong evidence of a general revi
val feeling existing in the limits of this city.—
In nearly every Church, meetings are assum
ing an interesting appearance. The young as
well as the aged, are bowing at the Throne of
Grace and confessing their guilt.
First Baptist Church.
The meetings at this Church have been con
tinued for some time with the most abundant
success. Over one hundred persons have
joined this Church by letter and experience
since its commencement.
Second Baptist Church.
The meet ngs during the week, at this
Church, have been well attended, the congre
gation gradually increasing at each meeting.—
The meetings promise to result iu good as
there are signs of a gracious work of the Spir
it upon many who attend them.
Rev. J. 11. Campbell is assisting bro. Clarke.
Miss. Bap. Slate Convention.
This body met on the 24th of May, and Dr.
Richard Harrison was elected moderator.
Eld. T. C. Teasdale, D. D., preached at night
by appointment, on domestic missions.—
The sermon, while, as a whole, it was an earn
est and eloquent appeal in behalf of Domestic
Missions generally, was an able, bold defense
of the position, that as a denomination the res
ponsibility was laid upon us to give a pure, un
adulterated gospel to the world.
The Mississippi Baptist, from whose unfin
ished account, we extract the above, under the
head of “the first move in the right direction,”
publishes a set of Resolutions, passed by the
Convention, of which, we make the following
abstract: 1. The N. T. Church is a congre
gation of immersed believers, independent,
with the word of God for it's constitution, and
any act violating it, is null and void. 2.
Landmarkism not sufficient cause for conten
tion. 3. Baptists of that State emphatically
missionary, and will heartily co-operate with
those organizations which the wisdom and ex
perience of the denomination have adopted for
missionary purposes. 4. Encourages the pro
duction of a sound Bap. S. S. Literature. 5.
Deplores the controversies,strife and personal
ities, which have existed iu the denomination,
judges that these have done the cause of Christ
an incalculable amount of injury—entreats a
cessation. G. Fears they will degenerate into
a personal character, and does not sanction the
involvement of the denomination in them. 7.
That the President of the Convention appoint
a committee of ten, with instructions to offer
their mediation in the premises, and to use all
proper efforts to reconcile the parties, and re
move these difficulties out of the way of our
denomination; and the Baptist hopes there
wil be no hesitancy on the part cf those at va
riance to accept the terms proposed; and to
listen to the counsel of brethren that love
them. Surely some basis of settlement may
be devised, in strict accordance with God’s
word, which will compromise neither party,
and save both to the denomination—a basis
which will be mutually satisfactory, inasmuch
as both cannot but desire to do only what is
right. While on this subject, we will men
tion an article written by F. Courteney, and
published in the La. Baptist, under the title of
“whither are me drifting ,” which the author
clipped and sent to us privately with the fol
lowing note: *
Dear Bro:
Will you be so good as to copy
the inclosed ? If our papers will take a firm
stand for peace, the tide may be stemmed.—
Y hat say you ? We are in danger, may the
Lord avert it.
Most truly your Bro.,
F. COURTENEY.
Our readers will find the piece on our first
page. We bespeak for it a prayerful perusal.
God grant that peace to our distracted Zion
may be the result. ‘“Peace be within the
walls, O, Jerusalem !’’
Feet Washing.
11. J. W. wants us to write on this old subject
and relieve his mind. Brother, if your con
science is so tender, do as your Saviour in
structed you. We do not say he commanded.
He says, “as I have done unto you, so ought
ye to do to one another.’’
But how didhe do? lie washed every one
of his disciples’ feet. If a church would imi
tate Christ, every member must do this to ev
ery other member. We hope bro. W. will let
this subject trouble him no longer. Jesus nev
er enjoined it as a church ordinance: but he
performed the act to teach humility, brotherly
love, kindness and hospitality to his people.
Union Meeting.
To the Churches of the first District of the
Lbeuezer Association. The Union meeting of
the Ist District, will be held at the Baptist
Church, at Irwintou, Geo., on Friday before
the 3rd Lord’s day in July next. Churches
are respectfully requested to appoiut dele
gates at their June meetings, to represent
them in the Union meeting. We also give a
cordial invitation to the brethren generally to
attend. BOLLIX A. STANLEY,
Church Clerk.

Blackshear.
Dear Brother Boykin :—This place is situa
ted on the Savannah, Albany & Gulf Rail
Road, 80 miles from Savannah. The place
is building up very fast, and is a very impor
tant point. The Missionary Baptists have a
small feeble church here, but have no house of
worship, but are making an effort to build. I
hope I do not ask too much, when I ask the
prayers and sympathy of the brethren for this
feeble band, and will not our wealthy breth
ren in Georgia help them to build a house.—
Any help will be thankfully received, and may
be sent to J. R. Milton or Wiley Knight,
Blackshear, Ga. .And to the Ministering
brethren; I hope all of you that can, will
come and see them, and try to build up the
Baptists interest in this place and country.

The Query
Os S. R. admits of an easy solution : It
is not Baptist usage for a minister to re
main in charge of a church, when that
church has, by his own advice, called an
other Pastor, by a two-third vote, it being
presumable that he has resigned, and his
resignation been accepted by a formal
vote.

Bro. S. writes encouraging words from

do far more for Jesus, with the pen, than
we have ever done. lie adds:
I can’t write you any cheering news
about our denomination in this part of the
couLtry, especially the church to which I
belong. All that I can say for that, is,
that we have had preaching once since
March, while other denominations are la
boring faithfully, and their labors are be
ing blessed. Our preachers are cold,
(seemingly,) and so are the people.

The Pensacola and Montgomery Road.—
We clip a note on the progress of the Southern
end of this road from a correspondent of the
Montgomery Mail. The Northern division of
the road is also rapidly progressing, and in the
absence of a shorter route to the Gulf, Macon
will soon draw her supplies of sea food from
this route:
Editors J [ail: —During an excursion which
I made to Pensacola, a few days ago, 1 was en
abled to gather a few items, which may be of
interest to you. These principally concern the
Florida and Alabama Rail Road, now comple
ted 39 miles, across the Escambia river, and to
within 7 miles of the State line, which it will
reach, without foil, by the Ist of July. The
work is spoken of as of the best character ; the
track is very straight to Cooper’s, about 27
miles from Pensacola, after which it makes a
few slight curves.
There are three pieces of trestle work, all
very substantially constructed, the principal
one about a quarter of a mile long, and some
30 feet high, over Pine Barren Crec-k, 30 miles
from the line. This is a splendid piece of
work.
The road is already doing a fine paying bu
siness, the train each way carrying a full com
plement of passengers daily, and bringing
down brick, lumber, and spars. These last
are of the best quality, coming from a region
which has not yet been culled; and some
which arrived last week, are pronouneed / the
finest ever seen at Pensacola.
Georgia Nails.— The Atlanta American says
the Etowah Iron Works, in Cass county, are
manufacturing nails, and the specimens on sale
in Atlanta, show them to be equal to those
made in any part of the world.

Or. the 10th ol May, 1800, in Burke county, Ga.
at the residence of her son-in-law, the Rev. W. J.
Murrow, Mrs. Mary Wallace, wife of Wm. Wal
lace Sr., at the advanced age of 72 years, 4 months
and 5 days. She was the subject of much afflic
tion during the last years of her life, which she
bore with that Christian fortitude and patience
that characterizes a true Heaven born soul. She
was a member of the Baptist Church at Little Buck
head over fifty-five years, and during this long pe
riod she maintained her Christian character with
out a single censure. She died as she ived, with
a strong faith and confidence in her blessed Sa
vior. Let me die the death of the lighteous, and
let my last end be like his. W. J. M.
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
My soul almost drow'ned in sorrow.
On the night of the 23rd inst., Martha O’Quinn,
my dear wile and bosom companion, was snatched
away by death some two hours after giving birth
to a daughter. But blessed be God, near her last
words were, “Glory to God.” It consoles me
much to be satisfied that “her end was peace.”—
And that if I and her eight children, who are left
behind to mourn her irreparable loss, can no more
enjoy her presence here, she now enjoys the socie
ty of our two little cherubs (who were taken away
before) in that heavenly land, where
“Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.”
She was the daughter of Elias and Lucy Branch,
was born in Laurens Cos., Ga., March 20th, 1822,
married Dec., Bth, 1842, joined the Baptist church
July 15th 1843, died May 23d, 1800. Her uni
form Christian walk was consistent with her pro
ession, She was much respected by all her neigh
bors; which was particularly manifested around
her dying bed and at her burial. Believing that
“our loss is her eternal gain.” O, may we have
grace to be resigned to our Heavenly Father’s
will—to imitate her virtues here and be prepared
to be re-united with her again when we are called
to change worlds. 11. D. o’Quin.
May 10th. in Burke county, Mrs. Mary Wai.-
i.ack. In the life of sister Wallace, were exempli
fied the gentle Christian graces which adorn the
character of a mother in Israel. A household of
God-fearing children testifies to the faithful dis
charge of a parent’s duty. Iler death was such as
might have been expected from her previous life ;
leaning upon the arm of Jesus, calmly and serene
ly, she passed on to the higher world. May God
bless us with more such as she was. W.
Mrs. Patience Ciiaffin died at -the residence of
her daughter, Mrs Nancy Montgomery, in Clark
County, Ga., on Sunday, the 27tli day of May,
1800; aged ninety-five, six months and twenty
one dais.
Few persons have attained to her age—fewer
still have so long “ordered their steps in the word
of the Lord.”
For nearly seventy years she professed the reli
gion of Jesus, and walked worthy ol her profession.
“The testimonies of the Lord were her delight and
hers counsellors”—and consequently, in all the re
lations of life as wife, mother, mistress and friend,
she was exemplary. *
Her lamp of life gradually paled, but her spirit
ual sky was undimmed by a single cloud, and
amidst alternate prayers for others, and praise- to
God for his goodness, she quietly passed from the
communion of the Baptist Church on earth, to the
fellowship of the Saints in Heaven.
She leaves two children, many grand and great
grand children, many of whom are living in refer
ence to another and higher state of existence.
John Calvin Johnson.
Sister Sarah Walker was the daughter of Wil
liam Stone, was born in Mecklenburg county, in
the State of Virginia, on the 12th day of April,
1785, and was maGVd to her husband, Matthew
Walker, on the 19th day of October, 1809. In
1823 she removed, with her husband, to this Suite
and settled in Greene county, where she continued
to reside till the close of her earthly pilgrimage.—
She survived her husband about 21 years. Sister
Walker had been a member of the Baptist Church
about sixty years, during which time, she adorned
the doctrine of Christ, her Savior, by the shining
example of a blameless life. She was on a visit
to her son-in-law, Dr. S. C. Hitchcock, in
cus, when she was arrested by the hand of disease,
and after lingering several weeks, her spirit was
called to its reward above. The writer had sever
al conversations with her, in relation to her ap
proaching end, and received the most satisfactory
assurances of her ripeness for glory. During the
whole of her illness, she retained complete posses
sion of her faculties, and two or three days before
her departure, united with several friends, in sing
ing the hymn commencing, “Awake my soul in
joyful lavs,” which was a favorite with her. She
died calmly, peacefully, on the 11th day of May,
1860, in the 76th year of her age. She has left
seven children, a number of grand children, and a
large circle of friends to mourn her loss, but they
think of her now, as a glorified spirit in Heaven.

A Great Book by the author of'''Grace
Truman
MARY BtfNYAN,
The Dreamkr’s Blind Daightkr. A Tale of Re
ligious Persecution. By Mrs. Rochester Ford,
of Louisville, Kv. 1 vol. 12mo. 488 pp. Illustra
ted. Price sl.
The great populatity of Grace Truman, (of which
30,000 copies have been sold,) will secure, for this
book, thousands of readers.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF IT.
[From the New \ ork Examiner. ]
The numerous readers of “Grace Truman” have
here another work on a topic of deep and thrilling
interest, from the author of that highly popular
book. Mary Bunyan, the blind daughter of the
immortal dreamer, is referred to repeatedly in his
autobiography and other works. She was about
twelve years of age when Bunyan was imprisoned
in Bedford jail, and his anxiety on her behalf was
one of his principal causes of distress in fusion”
imprisonment.
As drawn by Mrs. Ford, her character seems to
have been one of great modesty and loveliness,
and the story of her love for William Dormer, and
of his death for the cause of civil and religious
freedom, has much of the pathetic element in it.
Mrs. Ford is evidently thoroughly au fait in the
incidents of Bunyan’s family history, and the to
pography of Bedford and Elstow. We can safely
predict for the work an extensive sale.
[From the New York Evangelist.]
The simple incidents of Bunyan’s life, his pro
tracted imprisonment, his heroic endurance and
lofty faith, are of themselves full of the deepest
and most thrilling interest. It needed only the
picture of his blind daughter Mary, in her gentle
ness and patience under sore misfortune, to give
completeness to the tragic yet noble scenes in
which Bunyan figures, so modestly yet grandly
conspicuous. The author of the valume before us
has carefully gathered up such historical tacts, and
they are fortunately numerous and well authenti
cated, as could throw light upon her subject, and
has employed them with great sagacity and effect
in the construction of her story.

THE OXYGENATED BITTERS.
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Ileart Bum, Water Brash,
Sour Stomach, Jaudice, Flatulency, General De
bility, Ac., find a ready relief and speedy cure
in this great remedy.
THE OXYGENATED BITTERS
Are believed by many who have been cured of the
above complaints, to be the only medecine which
the materia mediea alfords for their infallible cure.
It is not an alcoholic preparation, which, while
giving a momentary stimulus, reduces the system
in the same ratio ; but one distinct and different
from any medical preparation compounded,
and which will, in most cases, extract disease
by the roots and restore the patient to pristine
health. In proof of which, testimony of the very
highest and unexceptionable character is present
ed.
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
We call the attc ntion of the reader to the fol
lowing letter from President Smith, of Wesleyan
University:
Middletown, Conn., Feb. 28, 1859.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Cos.,
Gentlemen : —I first made use of the Oxygena
ted Bitters some seven or eight years since. Hav
ing suffered for twenty years from a form of Dys
pepsia, which was attended with a nervous head
ache, on an average of not less than one day in a
1 week. I was induced by the unpretending recom
mendation of Dr. Green “to try one bottle and if
no benefit was received to discontinue the use.”
The use of one bottle warranted a further trial,
to the extent of some three or four, with a care
j ful observance of the accompanying directions.—
! The result was an almost entire relief from the
usual dyspeptic symptoms and their depressing,
painful consequences. I believe these Bitters pro
duced an entire change in the habits of my system
and upon the active energies of the digestive or
uhns. I now deem myself as exempt from Dyspep
sia as most persons. These Bitters have also been
of service to other members of my family.
\ ery respectfully vours,
AUGUSTUS W. SMITH.

Rev. Andreas Wiberg, so well and favorably

a work on Baptism. The Society published it in
the Swedish language, and sent large numbers to
Sweden ; where its work has been so marked and
even marvellous, that the Society have been indu
ced to publish it in English. Many, if not most of
the ninety Baptist pastors so recently raised up in
Sweeden, date their conversion to Baptist senti
ments to the reading of this work. The discussion
is eminently Scriptural, original and thorough.—
It is sold for 60 cents.

The Oxygenated Bitters.
The qualities of this medicine have placed it up
on an imperishable foundation. In destroying dis
ease, and inducing health, it has no parellel.
lor the following Complaints these Bitters are
a Specific, viz : Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Heart
Burn, Acidity, Costiveness, Loss of Appetite
Headache, and General Debility.
In many sections of our country this prepara- j
tion is extensively used by phsicians in their prac
tice, and it seems to have restored many to health
who were apparently beyond the reach of the heal- j
ing art.
York, Livingston co., N. Y., Oct. 1,1859.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Co.—
Sirs—Dyspepsia, with its numberless associates, ‘
took up its abode with me, in opposition to the
skill of many of the most celebrated physicians I
until the spirit was willing (if no relief could be
found) to surrender and bid adieu to its earthly
tabernacle, when I was induced, by the urgency of
a friend, to try THE OXYGENATED BITTERS
little dreaming that the Gilead was in the bound
less sea of patent medicines, as it was the first
draught I was ever induced to quaff. But thanks
be to God, it was a balm, and a most efficient and
grateful one too. The most aggravating symptoms
in my case were immoderate and irregular * beat- !
ing of the heart immediately after taking food, at- i
tended with great prostration, and very frequent
ly violent attacks of palpation, lasting from twelve
to twenty-four hours, leaving the stomach so per
fectly powerless that even a spoonful of milk or
rice water would seem burdensome. 1 commen
ced by taking hall a teaspoonful—the extent was
a full one. I was very persevering until I had ta-v
ken three bottles ; since then, at intervals I have
taken two more.
I began to realize its genial effects immediately;
besides, it is extremely grateful and refreshing
as a beverage, which is a charm that but few med
icines can bost ot. I would, sirs, most heartily
and earnestly beg all who arc alllicted with Dys
pepsia in any form to test your Oxygenated Bit
ters, as I do esteem them invaluable.
Very Respectfully, Miss M. STOCKING.

dissatisfaction by any one who used it. On the

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and towels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermitcent type. This “ Ague Ocre ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is #
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; j>nd it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

throughout this section, we need not do more than
assure the people its quality is kept up to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to
do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
