After Blenheim.
It was a summer evening,
Old Kaspar’s work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun;
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round
Which he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had t ound,
That was so large, and smooth and round.
Old Kaspar took it from the boy
Who stood expectant by ;
And then the old man shook his head.
And with a natural sigh,
“ ’Tis some poor fellow’s skull,’ said he,
Who fell in the great victory.
“ I find them in the garden,
For there’s many here about;
And often when I go to plough
The ploughshare turns them out,
For many thousand men,” said he,
“Were slain in the great victory ”
“Now tell us what ’twas all about,”
Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder-waiting eyes;
“Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each other for.”
‘•lt was the English” Kaspar cried,
“Who put the French to rout;
But what they fought each other for
I could not well make out.
But everybody said,” quoth he,
“That ’twas a famous victory.
“My father lived at B lenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by ;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
“With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide,
And many a childing mother then
And new-born baby died ;
But things like that, you know, must be
After a famous victory.
“They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won ;
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun ;
Rut things like that, you know, must be
After a famous victory.
“Great praise the Duke of Marlbro’ won
And our good Prince Eugene.”
“Why ’twas a very wicked thing!”
Said little Wilhelmine;
“Nay, nay, my little girl,” quoth he,
“It was a famous victory.
“And everybody praised the Duke
Who this great fight did win.”
“But what good came of it at last?”
Quoth little Peterkin.
“Why that I cannot tell,” said he,
“But ’twas a famous victory.”

The Great Sympathizer.
Miss Arnold shrank back with a shiver as
she opened the hall-door at nine o’clock that
wild winter morning. It was piercing cold,
and the bitter wind drove a shower of sleet
full into her face as she stepped out upon the
piazza. If it had been permissible, she would
have promptly reentered the house, sought
refuge from the storm in her own room, and
spent the day in comfort, even if in solitude.
But she was a governess, who must earn her
daily bread by her daily labor; and no mat
ter how fierce was the storm, unless she was
ill, Miss Arnold must go forth and brave it.
She did so now, drawing her water-proof
cloak closely around her, and bending her
head before the sharp blast, as she hurriedly
traversed the three squares which intervened
between her boarding-house and the line of
the cars. But she felt it hard as she strug
gled along, and caught, in passing, glimpses
now and then of other women looking out
upon the storm from the pleasant shelter of
curtained windows; she felt it hard that her
life should have so much of exposure and
effort in it. She had had such feelings before,
but had recognized them as wrong, and had
succeeded in subduing them; but they came
to her with more than usual force this morn
ing, and she seemed to have less courage, less
faith, with which to oppose them.
Things had not gone quite pleasantly with
her in school for the past two days. Her
oldest pupil, a girl of sixteen, had displayed
at some well-merited but very kindly remon
strance, a degree of resentment and insubor
dination which had distressed her teacher
very much, and had obliged her, with what
ever reluctance, to persevere in her assertion
of authority, and to indicate disapproval by
assuming a coldness of manner which reacted
with a chill upon her own genial nature.
She had not allowed herself to be discour
aged the first day, however; but when the
second day passed, and her pupil, while not
venturing an open act of disobedience, dis
played its spirit constantly by haughty looks,
sullen tones, and a total absence of any con
sciousness of error, or any promptings of re
gret, then the young teacher’s heart grew
sick, and her life-work assumed the look of
an ungenial, a laborious, a thankless task.
And what made it all more discouraging was,
that the young girl who was causing her so
much trouble, was a professing Christian;
but, although appealed to in the way most
likely to influence such, had* still persisted in
a quietly but resolutely wrong and unpleas
ant course.
So the young teacher had gone home tired
and disheartened, and more ready to repine
at her lot than to ask help to bear its trials.
There was no one in all the great boarding
house full of strangers, to whom she could
open her heart; she did not wish to write
and sadden her mother, who had so many
cares of her own, by a recital of her troubles.
She spent the evening in her lonely room,
yielding to the influence of desponding and
murmuring thoughts, and retired to rest with
only her usual evening devotions, never
remembering that there was a special Friend
to go to in times of special need, and that we
have One upon whom we may safely cast our
cares, knowing that he careth for us.
The wild storm to which she awaked in the
morning did not tend to cheer her spirits, and
it was with a very dreary feeling that she
took her seat, tried with the buffeting of the
wind, in the dirty and comfortless car filled
with cold and dripping people. She sat in
trenched behind her veil, thinking her own
moody thoughts for a while; but by-and-by
her attention was unconsciously arrested by a
conversation going on in a low tone between
two gentlemen just opposite to her.
“It is as the Great Sympathizer he seems
most precious to me nowadays,” one was
saying to the other. “It has pleased God to
send me so much trouble of late—not that I
would murmur at it; I know that whom he
loveth he chasteneth—but still it would have
been hard to bear it if it had not been for the
sweet consolations of Christ. Jesus has been
my nearest Friend, my best Help, my Great
Sympathizer , through it all. Oh, 1 cannot
tell you the comfort it has been just to go to
Him with my grief when it seemed too griev
ous to be borne, to drop my burden at His
feet, to lay my head upon His breast, to feel
the everlasting arm beneath me, to know that
He understood and pitied all my suffering, to
be comforted as ‘one whom his mother com
forteth.’ Ah, there is no earthly friend whose
sympathy can do one so much good; and it
has become my sweetest privilege now to go
to Jesus with everything, small and great,
joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure. He never
disappoints one, and it is the only sympathy
of which one can always be sure.”
The speaker’s voice was low, with deep
feeling, and no one heard his earnest words
but the friend to whom he addressed them,
and the desponding girl opposite, who drank
them in-as thirsty lips drink in cold water.
She had felt so lonely, so friendless, so poor
in pity and sympathy but a moment before,
and now she thought, with a rush of remorse
ful tenderness, how she had forgotten that
Friend above all others, who sticketh closer
than a brother, and who has promised never
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY JULY 1, 1869.
to leave them comfortless who put their trust i
in Him.
Her eyes filled with tears, springing up
from the same sweet source as those which
trembled on the lashes of her unconscious
comforter opposite.
“Dear Jesus!’ she thought, a tender, sol
emn glow warming her heart, so cold and sad
before. “He is indeed the Great Sympathi
zer ; he feels for me, 1 know, in this small
trouble of mine, as well as in the great griefs
which he has helped that sorrowful man to
bear. 1 will not think of it any more; I
have done my duty, I think, with my pupil;
I shall try to do it to-day, and leave the issue
with him. He will help me, I know.”
With not 'only a patient, but a cheerful
spirit, she stood a few minutes later at her
pupil’s door. Instead of her servant answer
ing her ring, the young girl herself came has
tening along the hall, her eyes filled with
ashamed and penitent tears.
“ Will you forgive me, dear Miss Arnold ?”
she pleaded ; “1 am so ashamed, so sorry. 1
have offended not only you, but God ; but
indeed—”
She could say no more, for her teacher’s
kiss of forgiveness sealed her lips. That
night she had joy instead of sorrow to take
to the bosom of the Great Sympathizer. —

Dipping Charles Lamb.
“ Coleridge,” says DeQuincy, “ told me of
a ludicrous embarrassment which Lamb’s
stammering caused him at Hastings. Lamb
had been medically advised to a course of
sea-bathing; and accordingly, at the door of
his bathing machine, while he stood shivering
with cold, two stout fellows laid hold of him.
one at each shoulder, like heraldic support
ers; they waited for the word of command
from their principal; who began the follow
ing oration to them : “ Hear me, men ! Take
notice of this; lamto be dipped —”
What more he would have said is unknown
to land or sea-bathing machines; for, having
reached the word dipped, he commenced such
a rolling fire of and—di, that when at
length he descended aplomb upon the full
word dipped, the two men, rather tired of
the long suspense, became satisfied that they
had reached what lawyers call the “ opera
tive” clause of the sentence, and both ex
claimed at once, “ O yes, we are quite aware
of that;” and down they plunged him into
the sea.
On emerging, Lamb sobbed so much from
the cold, that he found no voice suitable to
his indignation; from necessity, he seemed
tranquil; and again addressing the men who
stood respectfully listening, he began thus:
“ Men, is it possible to obtain your attention ?”
“O, surely, sir, by all means.” “ Then listen.
Once more I tell you, I am to be di—di—di —”
and then, with a burst of indignation, “dip
ped, I tell you.” “O, decidedly, sir,” and
down the stammerer went for the second
time.
Petrified with cold and wrath, once more
Lamb made a feeble effort to explain. “ Grant
me p—pa —tience; is it mur—ur —murder
you me —mean? Again and a—ga—ga—
gain, I tell you 1 am to be di—di—di—dip
ped—” now speaking furiously with the vo'ce
of an injured man. “ O yes, sir,” the man
replied, “we know that —we fully under
stand it; and for the third time, down went
Lamb into the sea. “O, limbs of Satan,” he
said, on coming up for the third time, “ it’s
now too late. I tell you that I am—no, that
I was to be di—di—dipped only once.
Cause of a bad Memory.
The other day I said to Hannah, “ When
you go down stairs, move the sheet on the
clothes-line over the walk, so the milkman,
when he comes through the yard, won’t brush
against and soil it. But, I added, “you need
not go down on purpose.”
“ I’d rather go a purpose, ma’am, and do
it,” the girl replied, beginning to clump down
the stairs—“ then there’ll not be any danger
of my forgettin’. ”
Hannah was right. Her words reminded
me of a little thing I had engaged to do, but
because it was so little, had neglected and
forgotten. I went directly and did it, and
tried to take warning for the future.
Nothing spoils the memory like the habit
of delay. “ Procrastination is the thief of
time,” says the copy-book. It steals more.
It steals away the ability to remember. If
you have a duty for to-day and another for
to-morrow, by neglecting to do the first duty
promptly, you will be pretty certain to forget
the second. The sacred Copy-book says,
“ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might.” Act up to that bidding,
and you will not be of those who are so often
saying, “ O, I forgot.”— Christian Era.
The Candle in the Gunpowder.
I have read a thrilling story of a merchant
who was, one evening, celebrating the mar
riage of his daughter. While the guests were
enjoying themselves above, he chanced to go
to the basement hall below, where he met a
servant carrying a lighted candle without a
candlestick. She passed on to the cellar for
wood, and returning quickly without the
candle. The merchant suddenly remembered
that, during the day, several barrels of gun
powder had been placed in the cellar, one of
which had been opened. Inquiring what she
had done with the candle, to his amazement
and horror her reply was, “ that not being
able to carry it with the wood, she had set it
in a small barrel of ‘ black sand,’ in the
cellar.”
He flew to the spot. A long, red snuff was
just ready to fall from the wick into the mass
of powder, when with great pressence of mind,
placing one hand on each side of the candle,
and making his hands meet at the top, over
the wick, he safely removed it from the bar
rel. At first he smiled at his previous terror,
but the reaction was so greai. that it was
weeks before he overcame the shock which
his nerves had sustained in that terrible mo
ment.
There are candles in many a barrel of gun
powder to-day. Many homes have already
been blown to ruin by them. There is a can
dle in the cellar of the wine bibber. It burns
brighter with the added fuel of every cup he
drains, and, before he is aware, all his hopes
for this world and the next will be blown up
with a ruin more terrible than any destruc
tion which gunpowder can bring. ■
There is a candle in the cellar of the liquor
dealer, burning slowly, but surely. He who
is dealing death to others will yet be startled
by a sudden blasting of his own peace, when
the wrath of God, restrained no longer, shall
fall upon him in a moment. ‘'Every way of
a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord
pondereth the hearts.” “He that by usury
and unjust gain increaseth his substance shall
gather it for him that will pity the poor.”
“ If thou forbear to deliver them that are
drawn unto death, and those that are ready to
be slain : if thou sayest ‘ behold, we know it
not!’ doth not He that pondereth the heart
consider it ? And He that keepeth thy soul,
doth He not know it ?” And shall not He
“ render unto every man according to his
works?” The man who is willfully destroy
ing himself may be deluded, and see no dan
ger ; the man who is destroying others may
say, “ I do not see it,” but the eyes of Him
who ponders both their ways sees not only
the evil but the “ sudden destruction” which
is before them if they do not speedily repent
and reform. See to it, that no righteous anger
burn against you. See to it, that no burning
candle is endangering you in your cellar.—

Sabbath School Convention.
The last session of the Sabhath School
Convention in the bounds of the Noonday
Association, was held at Sardis church, com
mencing Friday, June 11th, 1869. Rev. D.
B. Hamilton was elected Moderator, and J.
M. Green, Secretary. Delegates were re
ceived from different Sabbath schools, and all
friends of the Sabbath school work were in
vited to seats with us.
Business Committee reported, that Satur
day morning, after introductory exercises,
superintendants, teachers and friends, be re
quested io make reports of their schools, and
ask for any information desired in regard to
the work, and make any remarks in regard
to the Sabbath School interest; and also that
Rev. D. B. Hamilton be requested to
preach a sermon at 11 o’clock, on the “Study
of the Scriptures,” and that a Mass Meeting
be held for the benefit of the children, on
Sabbath morning.
Saturday morning—lnteresting reports
and addresses from the Superintendants, and
Sabbath school workers, after which, a ser
mon by Rev. D. B. Hamilton, or. the
subject assigned him, at which time he had an
attentive congregation, who seemed much in
terested in the stirring and eloquent sermon.
In the afternoon session,'had exceedingly inter
esting addresses by Gen. Win. Phillips, and
W. C. Gray, agent of the American Sunday
School Union. Pleasant exercises for the
children on Sabbath morning. Brethren, we
feel much encouraged. Our people are arous
ing to the importance of this great work.
They need only “more light.” We must
burn this great interest in them by persistent
effort.
Do You?
Dear fellow-teacher, suffer a few kindly
meant questions and words of counsel :
Do you preach to your scholars?
Do you deliver long, I, .rued and studied
lectures to your class?
Do you ask very profound and intricate
questions ? v
Do you appear to know everything, and
your scholars nothing about the lesson ?
Do you make it a point to answer all your
own questions?
Do you find fault with your class, that they
know so little about the lesson ?
Do you appear stiff and reserved in your
conversations with your scholars?
Do you, in all your illustrations, bring
proof from authors whose names your schol
ars never heard ?
Do you make it appear that it is conde
scending in a teacher to visit a scholar at his
home ?
Do you speak as seldom as possible ol
Christ, of His kingdom, and of those that
serve Him day and night?
Do you speak lightly of. and find fajilt
with, your superintendent, upon any and all
occasions ?
Do you?
Now, beloved teacher, will you not look at
the above list, and examine yourself in view
of them? For lam persuaded that if you
are habitually addicted to any one of the
things mentioned, you are to that degree unfit
to bear the name of Sunday school teacher.

To Retain the Older Scholars.
Rev. J. B. Thomas, D.D., in discussing
this question says the way is to gather adult
Bible classes. Our young folks a>-e never
further from childhood in feeling than when
they are nearest it in years. With true
prodigal spirit, in leaving their Father’s house,
they are content with nothing short of a “ far
country.” They eschew all “ childish things,”
and desire to be dissociated from them, and
to be set among the elders.
Why should this desire be ignored or re
pressed ? Let the adult congregation gather
into classes and give a manly tinge to the
occasion. If parents believe that the fitness
or need of Bible study is not outgrown with
years, let them “ show their faith ” to their
children “by their works.” Every hegira of
older scholars is but the echo of the silent
yet unequivocal testimony of the church:
“ Bible study is for infaut minds—let us ‘ put
away childish things.’” The seed from the
topmost bough is the counterpart of that
which produced the old tree. The indiffer
ence of the young reveals the sin of the old.
Let us plant the good seed of manly Bible
study, using not the world’s word, “ Go,”
but Christ’s word, “ Come!” and our ques
tion, how to retain the older scholars, will be
answered.
Teachers’ Meetings.
' The desirableness of a teachers’ meeting
weekly, is generally acknowledged ; the fol
lowing are some of the reasons why it is
needed: (1) For its sympathetic influence
upon pastor, superintendent, and teachers,
which is secured only by frequent, unre
strained, and genial conference. (2) For se
curing appropriate diversity in unity in the
instructions of the Sabbath. It will also
counteract the tendency to run in a rut by
those who use 'printed schemes. (3) It is
needed for the effective study of the art of
teaching. It may be to some extent a nor
mal class, in which the philosophy of teach
ing may be taught and its application culti
vated. The success and permanence of the
teachers’ meeting depends much upon the
leader. He must be possessed of common
sense and- warm Christian heart; must be
able and wbling to study hard in preparation
for the meeting, for no teacher can afford to
spend an evening in attending a meeting for
which the leader has made little or no pre
paration ; and must not yield to serious dis
couragements. But it is also necessary to
success, that the teachers stay up his hands
by prayer and earnest cooperation.
Faithful Labor. —Conversing a few days
since with oue of our members, who from
the infirmities of age, is unable to engage in
active service in the church, she said, “How I
love the Sabbath school. For eighteen years
I was a teacher, and during the time was ab
sent from my class but six Sabbaths in all,
and then only prevented from attending by
extreme sickness or death in my family.
Unless my scholars knew the occasion of my
absence, they came directly to me, knowing
that no ordinary occurrence would keep me
from the school. During a revival season,
every member of my class was converted, as
it seemed to me in answer to prayer; for my
heart was burdened for them day and uight
until all were brought into the fold of
Christ.” O that there were more such earn
est workers in our Sabbath schools !
The Library. —The Central Baptist fears
that in many of the churches the missionary
spirit is declining. This, it thinks, is owing,
in a large measure, to the character of the
books which have, for the past twenty years,
constituted the popular department of our
Sunday school libraries. Biography has been
displaced by fancy sketches, and solid read
ing by sentimental literature.
England and Wales. —The Sunday school
Union for England and Wales has within its
jurisdiction 3,516 schools, 85,464 teachers,
and 706,218 scholars.

The Farmer Mast Feed AH.
My lord rides through hvs palace gate,
My lady sweeps along io state,
The sage thiuks long on many a thing,
And the maideu muses on marrying ;
The sailor p'oughs the toaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer
And the soldier wars without a fear ;
But tall to each whate’er befall
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith haramereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preaeheth pure the holy word,
Dame Alice worketh braiding well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell;
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dau Fisher fisheth in the mere,
And courtier's ruffles strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine.
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man build his caslles fair and high
Wherever rivers runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers ;
Great work is done ; be it here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere.
But work or rest, whete’er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Saturday Night.
’Tis Saturday night*.again! Blessed Sat
urday night! Through another week God
has had us on our way. How fast the weeks
roll round ! And how tlje heart of the laborer
rejoices as he turns his weary footsteps home
ward to gather comfort and consolation from
his wife and little ones for his hours of toil
during the past week. And how that toil is
lightened by the loving smiles and caresses
that greet him in thn .home circle. Though
poor in this world’s gciods, he is rich in much
that money cannot purchase. How neat the
room appears, and the children. Prepara
tions have been made for Sunday, “ that
sweetest, best of all the seven.” This is a
welcome p ri >d, for it brings rest, relaxation.
0 ! 1 love to dwell upon the thought, for on
its every return I cannot help repeating,
Blessed Saturday night; and my heart is in
the utterance, for fr*m the bottom of my
soul I do rejoice that it has again come to
bless the weary ones who, like myself, have
toiled and struggled through the week in the
great battle for bread. Brother laborers,
what should we do without the Sabbath ? Have
you ever thought of what a blessed privilege
it is to live in a country where the Sabbath
is loved and
earnestly we should pray, and willingly give
of our means to have it loved and honored
over all the earth ? Then treasure well its
holy moments. Let Saturday evening be a
time of preparation for it, that its hours may
not be shortened by needless work. Put
your house in order, for to morrow is the
Lord’s day. 0 ! how happy our earth might
be, if, in such things, all would remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. I sometimes
picture to myself a land where all work, but
none are overworked ; where smiling cottages
meet the eye on every side; where the Bible
is read and loved, and where the Sabbath is
observed as a day of rest and devotion. In
that land all is peace, for none oppress, and
plenty, for all work, but none are overworked ;
thus leaving time,
and esthetics of life. * There, Saturday eve
ning is usher to the Sabbath, and its return
is welcomed by sweetest music and song ; the
laborer puts by his tools, his children their
playthings, the house is made tidy, the Sun
day dinner prepared, and no work left for
Sunday that night, and should be done Satur
day. And then l look with fancy’s eye over
all the continents and'isles of the sea, if hap
ly I may but get a glimpse of that land ; but
none such appears. Nature, indeed, has done
her part, and naught remains but for man,
guided by reason and revelation, to step in
and possess. But alas! our earth is scarred
and torn by sin ; the nations are in constant
turmoil and strife ; oppressions are not few,
and "the laborer’s cup of sweets has much of
bitter therein. Still, thanks be to God, there
are some bright spots left, some bright oases
on the world’s wide desert. Let us water
and cherish these bright spots. It may be
that, by and by, others will spring up, and
grow, and fill the earth. B. W. Jones.

A Cure for Chicken Cholera. —The fol
lowing, which we clip from the La Grange
Reporter , Troup county, Ga., is worthy of a
full test, and we trust will prove a specific for
a malady which has slain its thousands. We
commend the prescription to chicken-lovers
everywhere:
Take the leaves of the Jamestown weed,
chop them up and mix them with dough and
feed the chickens that are sick with it. If
the chickens are too sick to eat, take a few
leaves and bruise them with a small quantity
of water. A small teaspoonful will prove a
speedy and certain cure. This remedy has
been used with success by citizens of this
county.
The Jerusalem Excavations.
Mr. Emanuel Deutsch, the writer of the
Ealmud article in the London Quarterly, has
prepared a report on the operations of the
Palestine Exploration Fund in Jerusalem
and elsewhere. He holds that, important as
are the results already obtained, the labor of
the explorers are only .in their infancy, and
ought to be carried out on a far more exten
sive footing. The chief interest of Mr.
Deutsch’s report lies in his observations on
the singular marks discovered on the founda
tion courses of the great wall of underground
Jerusalem, ninety feet below the present sur
face : “I have come to the following conclu
sion : First —the signs cut or painted were on
the stones when they were first laid in their
present places. Second—they do not repre
sent any ‘inscription.’ Third—they are
Phoenician. I consider them to be partly
letters, partly numerals, and partly special
mason’s or quarry signs. Some of them
were recognizable at once as well as known
Phoenician characters; others hitherto un
known to Pnoenician epigraphy. 1 had the
rare satisfaction of being able to identify on
absolutely undoubted antique Phoenician
structures in Syria, such as the primitive
substructures of the harbon of Sidon. No
less did I observe them on the ‘bevelled’
stones taken from ancient edifices and built
into later work throughout Phoenicia. It may
not be superfluous to add that, though I found
extremely well preserved pointed trescoes in
Phoenician tombs. 1 think all attempts to
determine the exact meaning of each and all
these technical signs would, at least at this
stage, be premature. If the excavations are
properly carried on, I venture to predict the
occurrence of similar signs on corresponding
rows of the wall —signs which conjointly
with those discovered may contain not only a
full explanation of their own purport, but
also solve perhaps some other vital ques
tion regarding the plan of the whole build
ing.

■£)R. J. BRAD FIELD’S
FEMALE REGULATOR,
WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND.
This valuable Medicine is prepared for Women ex
clusively, and to be used by Women only. It is
adapted especially to those cases where the womb is
disordered, and will cure any irregularity in the
“ menses,” except in such cases as require a surgical
operation. As these last are very rare, the Female
Regulator is of almost universal application. In a
sudden checd of the “monthly courses” from cold,
trouble of mind or like cause, it acts like a charm, by
restoring the discharge in every instance, thus reliev
ing the fever, headace, pain the small of the back and
“lower stomach,” flushes of heat about the face,
chilly sensations, burning of the eyelids and general
restlessness. Taken in time, all these symptoms
pass away immediately, without injury to the consti
tution. Frequently, however, the proper remedy is
not applied in time, the disease becomes chronic, and
the foundation laid for numberless evils to the consti
tution of the woman. The next “turn” comes
around and there is no “show,” or perhaps the
“whites” will appear. There will be some uneasi
ness about the womb, but very little or none of the
natural fluid escaping. The complexion becomes sal
low, bowels swollen, a sort of greenish caste about
the face, constant dull aching pains in the head,
weight in the lower stomach and back, with or with
out whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, exhaus
tion, indigestion, weariness, languor, aching across
the loins, loss of appetite, pain in the left breast,
tightness across the chest, cough and giddiness. 11
still allowed to go on, “green sickness will be fully
developed—the headache becomes severe, with loss
of memory, diminished sensibility, sick stomach, dys
pepsia, no relish for food, loss of flesn, increased flut
tering of the hean, swelling of the feet, legs and body,
and occasional spitting of blood. The slightest effort
causes hurried breathing, almost to suffocation. The
skin is flabby and has a “doughy feeling” This is a
sad picture, but it is the condition of thousands ol
women between the ages of 15 and 45, who are
brought to the verge of the grave by ignorance or
neglect to to take the proper remedy. To all who are
afflicted with any of the symptoms above-mentioned,
in connection with any irregularity of the “monthly
sicknes,” we earnestly say TAKE DR. J. BRAD
FIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR. A few ounces
taken, you will at once experience its benefits, and
with a little patience you will be fully restored to
health.
This remedy has been extensivhly used for upwards
of twenty years by many of the most experiened and
successful Physicians in Georgia.
We repeat, that DR. J. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE
REGULATOR is prepared for Women, and to be used
by women only.
A trial is all we ask.

Dr. J. Bradfield —
Dear Sir: I take pleasure in stating that sometime
previous to the late war, I used, with the utmost suc
cess, on a servant girl, your FEMALE) REGULATOR,
prepared then at Bradfield’s Drug Store, West Point,
Ga. She had been suflering severely from suppressed
menstruation, and this Medicine soon restored her to
health. She is, to-day, living in Atlanta, sound and
well.
I will state, further, that I know of its being used,
with equal success, on a servant girl of my brother
in-law, Professor Rutherford, of Athens, Ga. This
woman had, I think, been diseased for six years.
She was a house servant, and cured, up to
the time of “freedom.” Ido not hesitate to endorse
your preparation for the purposes for which you re
commend it.
Yours truly, Jno. C. Whitn
STATE OF GEORGIA, Troup County.
This is to certify that I have examined the recipe

thus afflicted that I have never known it to tail.

■gUPTURES CURED.
DR. J. A. SHERMAN,
Artistic Surgeon, respectfully offers his services in
the application of his Rupture Curative Appliances,
at his office,
No. 697 Broadway, New York.
The great experience of Dr. SHERMAN, resulting
from his long and constant devotion to the treatment
and cure of this disease, assures him of his ability to
relieve all, without regard to the age of the patient
or duration of the infirmity, or the difficulties which
they may have heretofore encountered in seeking
relief. Dr. SHERMAN, as Principal of the Rupture
Curative Institute, New Orleans, for a period of
more than fifteen years, had under his care the worst
cases in the country, all of which were effectually
relieved, and many, to their great joy, restored to a
sound body.
None of the pains and injuries resulting from the
use of other Trusses, are found in Dr. Sherman’s Ap
pliances j and, with a full knowledge of the assertion,
he promises greater security and comfort, with a daily
improvement in the disease, than can be obtained of
any other person, or the invention, of any other per
son, in the United States.
Prices to suit all classes. It is the only, as well as
the cheapest, remedy ever offered the afflicted. Pho
