The Montgomery Advertiser & Gazette
learns that the Bridge over Calomn Creek
in thnt county, commonly known as Nor
man’s Bridge, gave way and fell in on
Wednesday night last. The Advertiser
says the rains in that direction had been
very heavy, and it was a great wonder
that the Creek itself had not been washed
away.
New Cotton at bavannah.
The Savannah News chronicles the ar
rival, at that ] ort, ot’ the first halo of new
cotton this season, it was received on
Wednesday evening lust, by the steamer
St. John’s, from the plantation of Mr.
Allen Gibson, of Marion county, Florida,
and consigned to Messrs. Tison & Gordon.
It was discharged at too luto an hour that
evening to be sold or sampled.
Tbe first bale of now cotton received at
Savannah last year, was from the Stewart
plantation of Mrs. A. C. Shepherd, of this
city, it was forwarded from this place
by M essrs. Hughes & Daniel, to Messrs.
Hunter Si Gammcll, of Savannah, sampled
middling fair, and was sold by them at
13J cents. We apprehend the first bale
this year will sell for a trifle over these
figures.

Free Suffrage in North Carolina.
The amendment to the Constitution of
North Carolina, allowing qualified voters
for members of the House of Commons to
vote for Senators, submitted to the peo
ple for ratification at the recent general
election, was carried by a large majority.
Thus has passed off tlie last, vostago of
federal usage in the old Van Winkle
State. She was the last of the Slave
States to abandon free negro suffrage,
and the last to adopt free suffrage.
Hall Hoad Decision.
Those who travel on rail roads have
frequently experienced the inconveni
ence of the plan generally pursued by
rail road agents, in not ojieniug their
offices for the sale of tickets until a few
minutes before the car leaves. It always
creates a jam around the ticket office,
and those who timidly shrink hack from
the jam aro often just in time to jump
aboard of the car as it is going off, and
consequently have either to stand up all
the way of tlieir trip, because all (he
seats have been taken, or they have to
tnke a seat that every body else lias re
fused. And it is not unfrequently thut
persons in waiting to purchase tickets
are left behind, whereas, if the ticket
office lmd been opened in time all could
have been supplied without all the fuss
and scramble which usually attend the
purchase of tickets. Persons who do not
go to the road in the public omnibuses
are generally at the depots some half
hour before tho car leaves, and if the
ticket offices were opened, they could
purchase their tickets before the omnibus
arrives, and thus prevent a great deal of
confusion and delay. On rail roads do
ing a large traveling business the inconve
nience is greater t ban on our roads, where
tbe travel is not so great. On some of
the Northern roads it lias been considered
such a grievance thut i lie law has taken
it in hand, and it was recently decided in
Buffalo, Now York, that rail road compa
nies are bound to keep ticket offices open
at places where they ere established, one
hour before the departure of passenger
trains; and a passenger who had paid
five cents extra in the ears, not having a
ticket, and the ticket office not having
been open to enable him to purchase one,
recovered the five cents and fifty dollars
in addition.
Voyage ol’ a Yacht of Twenty-three
Tons from New York to Liverpool.
The Liverpool Post, ill its issue of July
26, says ;
“The arrival at this port, yesterday,
of the yacht Charter O ik, from New York,
furnishes a striking proof of wlmt perse
verance can accomplish, and shows to us
P.nglish the kind of stuff’ our transatlantic
cousins are made of. The Charter Oak
is a little vessel, 43 feet loug, 18 feet
wide, 6 feet 8 inches deep, and measures
23 tons. She was built and rigged by
her captain and owner, Mr. Webb, in
Connecticut, and by him and one man
brought safely across the stormy Atlantic,
in thirty seven days. She started with
the captain and two men, but one of them
was unfortunately lost overboard the first
day. To most of men this would have
been enough to fright, n them off their
perilous enterprise, but our two undaunt
ed navigators (one of whom had never
been at sea before) were not to be fright
ened. Without a chronometer, (for no
one would trust oue in so frail a convey
ance, and the captain was too poor to buy
one,) without a chart of the coast they
were steering for, those two men pur
sued their dangerous way, through sev
eral storms, and reached Liverpool ill the
time mentioned.”
A Bootless Effort.
Our ultra democratic correspondent,
“Foot Pad,” is engaged in a bootless ef
fort to improve the manners of the nabobs
of our city, in trying to induce them to
give up the use of their carriages in at
tending church on Sunday. Equally as
successful he would be in an effort to in
duce young ducks to give up their aqua
tic sports when water is plenty; the hog
to turn aside from the tempting mud hole
in dog days ; Young America to foregoing
his “lark” when “daddy’s gone away,”
or a “bread and butter Miss” to cease
thinking about sweethearts, as to try to
persuade those who can afford the luxury,
to give up the ease, comfort, eclat and
show of riding to church on Sundays, in
their fine carriages. Don’t you know,
Mr. Foot Pad, that people, now-a-days,
go to church more for show than to wor
ship God ? that the ladies, when they go
home, can tell you more about how the
different ladies of the congregation were
dressed than they can about the sermon ?
that the gentleman _ean tell you more
about tbe color of the hair and eyes,
and general contour of features, of the
pretty worshipper in the opposite pew,
than they can about the text ? It is a
humiliating fact, that there are the few
est, number of our fashionables, who go
to church with the proper motives—with
the single purpose of worshipping God
in Hpirit and in truth. Instead of taking
up the morning before church with pray
er, for hearts to worship God acceptably,
and serve him aright during the day,
t hey aro occupied at their toilet, that they
may appear attractive in their personal
appearance, and receive tlie admiration
of tlibse who are as ungodly as them
selves. No thought of the Dietyever in
trudes itself upon tlieir minds, and they
enter the Sanctuary with tlieir hearts full
of worldly considerations, with never a
thought upon the saeredness of the place
or the occasion. Os course there are hon
orable exceptions to this general rule; but
take away t he tine equipages, fine feathers,
silks, frills, furbelows, crinolines, high
heel hats, patent-leather boots, broad
cloth coats, and the various parapher
nalia that go to make up the fashionable
lady and gentlemen, and the regular con
gregations of the various churches, would
not be a decimal of what they are now,
and the very able and eloquent preachers
of tlie different denominations, who now
hold forth every Sabbath to crowded au
diences, would he compelled to address a
“haggardly account of empty benches,”
and no amount of talent, or eloquence
could draw sufficiently to make up the
deficiency. However, if our correspond
dent can work a reformation in these par
ticulars, we have no objection to his
“pitching in” neck deep, and making the
people as good mannered, as pious and
God serving as they ought to be. We
therefore say,

Financial Crisis in Havana.
Havana papers by the Philadelphia are
to the 9th inst. The principal news con
cerns the lato financial crisis, of which
they give a clear and connected account.
It seems to have been very sudden, and
to have taken the operators themselves,
most of all, by surprise. The wild spec
ulations of the last few months, however,
had in a measure prepared the public
mind for it. At last accounts, thanks to
the prompt action of the Captain General
and the singularly disinterested conduct
of leading capitalists, public confidence,
so far as it concerned probably the only
safe and truly sound banking institutions
iu the city, was in a measure restored.—
It was clear above all that the Spanish
Hank, upon which a general rush was
made, would not be able of itself to with
stand the crisis. In this emergency the
Captain General called a meeting of all
who were interested in maintaining un
impeached the credit of the city and isl
and, and most nobly did they respond.—
The large sum of §(1,875,200, guarantee
ing (lie engagements of the bank for the
next six months, were subscribed at the
first session. The evening of the next
day the subscriptions added up $8,530,-
200; on the 9th, they amounted to $lO,-
053,700.
The papers nllude to Hits action of the
citizens of Havana with feelings of just
pride, as evincing not only their patriot
ism, but a determination to maintain the
credit of tho island at nil hazards, in jus
tification to that feeling of confidence
which the commerce of Cuba has long en
joyed. So great was the enthusiasm that
even those upon whom no just call could
be made came promptly and voluntarily
forward to meet the unexpected crisis.—
A large number, not content with a sim
ple subscription, otl'ered the loun of spe
cie, of which the bank seemed for the
moment most in need, while the Captain
General at once, by formal decree, au
thorized nn extraordinary loan of six
millions on the most favorable terms.
The general health of the city and isl
and i“ reported good, though we notice
mention of fever, not only in tlie shipping
hut on shore, and at the hospitals also.
They appear, however, to be sporadic
cases only.
Fearful Suspense.
Quite a feartul scene was witnessed at
\Y heeling on Sunday last. A little child
about four years of age had ascended a
pair of stairs leadiug to the roof of the
back pnrt of a house on Main street, and
commenced frolicking about, unconscious
of the imminent danger of its position.
Occasionally it would approach the very
eaves of the house and peer calmly down
a distance of thirty-five feet into the
back yard below. It was thus occupied
when its lather appeared at an opening
near the comb of the roof and called to
him. The little fellow replied with a
laugh, but would not leave the roof. As
the father approached him he would re
treat backwards towards sudden destruc
tion. The father finally hit upon the’
stratagem of holding a small piece of
money in his hand and extending it to
wards the child. This had the desired ef
fect. The avaricious young scamp rush
ed towards his progenitor iu 1 ittle less
than no time. It was a terrible suspense
for the parent, who breathed freer when
the child was secured. The opening in
the roof was closed up within half an
hoar.
The South . Carolina Railroad.
A correspon dent of the Charleston Cou
rier, whose v om de plume is Spectator, has
furnished tl iat paper with an interesting
history of Railroads in this country. lie
says, in conclusion, concerning the South
Carolinr t Railroad:
The South Carolina Railroad was, how
ever, evidently the great pioneer road of
the country, and the “avant courier” of
tho ’Railroad system of the United States,
for the facts clearly shown :
1. That the first Road of any consider
able length constructed in the United
States was the South Carolina Railroad,
or as it was then called, “the South Car
olina Canal and Railroad,” and which,
when finished, was the longest Railroad
in the world.
2. That the South Carolina Railroad
was the first Road in this country, that
was commenced and carried through with
a view of using steam power alone as a
motive power on the Road.
3. That the South Carolina Railroad
was the first Railroad in the United States
upon which a locomotive steam engine
regularly run, and that the first locomo
tive built on this side of the Atlantic was
builtjfor this Road, and was the first en
gine that ever run upon the Road.
4. That the first Railroad in the United
States that carried the United States Mail
was the South Carolina Railroad.
And lastly, that the South Carolina
Railroad was the greatest enterprise un
dertaken with the least means, construct
ed under the greatest difficulties, and fi
nally accomplished with the completest
success of any achievement in modern
times ; but “there were giants in those days.”
Men Mtltners.
They have men miliners in Germany.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Frankfort, says : In Ameri
ca we have never seen men mantua-mn
kers and miliners, but in Germany they
are as common as men tailors. One day,
where we were sitting, a man came in with
a dress, basted , ready to try on. Well, we
confess, wc looked with all our eyes,
what would be done; but there was no
hesitation—a lady took the robe to her
room, and put it on, returning sans
sleeves. The man examined, to see where
it needed altering, took it up on the shoul
ders, pinched up the biasses, and laid the
plaits, evidently used to the business, and
evidently, as the lady said he was, an ex
cellent dress-maker, and also that dress
es made by men kept their place better,
and lasted longer than those made by wo
men.
Now, we think we would like that. The
idea of fitting a dress upon a plump, lus
cious girl of sixteen, or thereabouts.—
There is love, poetry, romance and elec
tricity in the bare idea, and it tempts us
strongly to eschew paste and scissors and
turn Man-mantua-maker. Will you pat
ronize us, girls ? Excellent fits warrant
ed, or we will try it over, without extra
charge. Extra pretty girls with uncom
mon pretty shoulders waited on at half
price.
End of a Fast Young Kentuckian.
The New Orleans Crescent contains the
following sad story:
We mentioned, about a week ago, that
a young man named Presly McFall stabb
ed himself in a house of evil repute*in
Dryadeg street, and had to be taken to
the Charity Hospital. He died on Satur
day, not from the effects of the wound,
but from the effects of hard drinking,
under the influence of which he inflicted
it. His story is a brief one, but a moral
might be drawn from it. He was a Ken
tuckian, only 20 years of age, and came
to the city last winter, full of the youth
ful appetite for excitement, and with a
pocket full of money. He gave himself
to fast living, two items of which, wine
and women, brought him down. It is
said that from the time of his arrival here
to his death he squandered upwards of
$20,000. At last, when he became bloat
ed with drink and his money failed, the
painted bawd who had helped him on to
destruction, deserted him, and refused to
smile on him wore, Exasperated, he
drew his knife and attempted to kill her
—did wound her slightly—and then at
tempted to kill himself. The finale we
gave at the beginning of this report.
Though he exhausted his means here, the
luckless young man is said to have still
owned property amounting to a fortune
in bis native State.
Affecting Incident.
Among the passengers on the propeller
J. N. Harris, which was lost on Long Is
land Sound last Saturday morning, by a
collision with the magnificent steamer
Metropolis, was Miss Gordon, a lovely
young girl of only eighteen. Her father,
Mr. George Gordon, who resides at No.
37 Catherine street, New York, had
placed her under the care of Capt. Smith
the evening previous, with the under
standing that he would sep her safe to
New London. While Capt. Smith, of the
propeller, was giving bis statement of the
unfortunate affair, in the saloon of the
Metropolis, Saturday afternoon, Mr.
Gordon entered. Capt. Smith had sent
a message to him, informing him of the
melancholy death of his child, but the
old man, hearing of the disaster, hurried
oft, before it reached his house, and came
down to inquire for his child. He ap
proached the Captain slowly, as though
lie would cling to his faint hopes ns long
as possible. He gazed for a moment at
the hardy seaman, and then, with a voice
tremulons with emotion, he said, “ Well,
Captain, I have come down after my
daughter.” The Captain turned evyay
his head, and extending his hand, mur
mured, “She’s lost!” and burst into
tears. The old man grasped it, and ex
claiming, “Oh, my God!” wept as only
a parent so bereaved can weep. They
exchanged a few words, promised to see
each other again, and then the old man
tottered away, as though another twenty
winters had been added to his life.
The price of a wife nmong the Kru peo
ple is usually three cows, a goat and a
sheep, aud a few artieles of crockery
ware, or brass rods, the whole of which
would scarcely exceed twenty dollars.—
The woman is always bargained awny for
life, and at the decease of her husband,
she passes to his brother or some other
connection, being deemed transferable
property. If, however, she is ill-treated,
she may return to her family, though to
guard against this provision being| ib|,jed
they are required to restore twice ns much
as they received for her. Each w man is
the mistress of her own household ‘.ud it
is not liable to be interfered with by any
6f her co-wives. On the whole, Hie situ
ation of these Kru wives appears quite as
favorable to domestic hnppiness, ns the
condition of things in Brigham Yonng's
dominion.

The Senate of Nicaragua assembled on
the sth of July last, having been called
together by Jerez and Martinez. An ar
rengement acceptable to Costa Rica was
agreed upon respecting the boundary
question and the transit route. A ratifi
cation of such an arrangement was made
by Costa Rica a short time after, nnd that
the news of said ratification had reached
Grcytown on the 25th of the mouth.
Among receut manifestations of Gen.
Canas was the message of Jerez and Mar
tinez, that if any revolutionary or insur
rectionary movement should ngain take
place in Nicaragua, before a settled gov
ernment could be established, be should
take measures to suppress such movements
with all the means at bis command. Gen.
C. visited Greytowu on the 18th of July,
and was received with honors by the Sar
atoga.
Mr. Carey Jones’ mission to Costa Rica
was understood at San Jose to be of a
friendly character, and that if be was
successful in his mission, tho U. States
men-of-war should be notified to inter
pose in case of any appearance of inva
sion.

A Man of Business.
In one of the western counties of New
York, is a man by the name of Zadock
Pratt, one of the bone and sinew, an in
telligent mechanic and farmer, who has
contributed greatly to tbe general pros
perity, as well as to his individual wealth.
In a speech at an Agricultural Fair, in
Green county. New York, he said that,
since he had been engaged in farming, he
had empolyed over fifteen thousand years
of other men’s labor; had employed thir
ty thousand men, and paid them for their
labor over two millions five hundred thou
sand dollars. He had cleared over ten
thousand acres-of land, and used over
two hundred thousand cords of hemlock
bark, and paid over half a million dollars
for it. He had used and worn out five
hundred horses and one thousand yoke of
oxen, used two hundred thousand bushels
of oats, one hundred and twenty thousand
tons of hay, thirty thousand barrels of
beef and pork, nearly one hundred thou
sand barrels of flour, and potatoes with
out number or measure. He bad tanned
over one million’ two hundred and fifty
thousand sides of leather; his usual dis
bursement is over five thousand dollars
per day, and he has used in his business
over ten millions. He has never had a
side of leather stolen, and never was sued
on account of his business transactions.
We should say that Zadock was a valuable
member of society. Moreover, this shows
the advantage of diversifying labor, and
of bringing the man who consumes by the
side of him who produces. —Richmond

Taking the Law in their own Hands.
A day or two since the ladies of the
village of Belmont, a few miles out on the
Central Ohio Railroad, armed themselves
with axes and hatchets with the intention
of besieging two barrels of common whis
key which bad arrived at the Union Ho
tel at that place. The owner of the two
barrels of fluid aforesaid gotjwind of the
proposed attack upon bis premises, and
accordingly removed the liquor into his
kitchen and barred all the doors about
the house, and taking a position at the
window, watuhad the approach of the
cavalcade with intense interest. The fe
male soldiery were drawn up in a re
doubtable position in front of the door,
and the leader thereof demanded an en
trance. The landlord refused. The doors
were then tried, but without success, and
the besiegers retired to await a more con
venient time for tbe attack. Great ex
citement prevailed in the village, and it is
thought a second attack on the house may
be attended with serious results.— Wheel

Tile Africanization of Cuba.
Some of the Spanish journals are out
in the strongest manner against the con
templated Africanization of Cuba. La
Verdad, published in New York, takes
decided ground against the sdietoe. Jt
charges that the plan, which is of British
origin, looks to the conversion of Cuba
into a negro colony, under the jurisdic
tion of a mixed commission. It is said
that Lord Palmerston proposes to colonize
Cuba and the Brjtisli aqd French West
Indies, with the wild and uqtqtqred sons
of Africa, giving them land, and protect
ing them in their free citizenship, but
making no provision for restraining these
two or three hunrdred thousand brutal
negroes from converting Cuba into anoth
er St. Domingo, by tiie bloody extermina
tion of the whites. In fact, La Verdad
assumes—and sustains its position with a
startling array of official documents—
that the direct object of this British
movement is to reinforce the negro popu
lation, drive the whites completely
out of Cuba, so qg to make it, in the lan
guage of a lute member pf tho British
Cabinet, “utterly \yorthJess to the Ameri
cans,”
An Immense Fund.
The “Patriotio Fuud,” subscribed in
Great Britain and her provinoes, and by
British residents and others of foreign
countries, for the benefit of the soldiers
who suffered in the late Russian war,
their wives and children, was one of the
largest of that character ever collected.
Prince Albert, chairman of the commis
sioners to distribute the fund, lately sta
ted, in an addipsj to Queen Victoria, that
the total amount was £l,‘i4fj,9§s ; or over
seven millions c.f dollars. Os this amount
XlO5 was received from Lawrence, Mass.,
X 1,728 from New York, <£B9o from New
Orleans, £950 from San Francisco, £l7
from Davenport. Jow, quej £162 from
Ph ladelphia. Os the surplus, the oom
missioners have appropriated £38,000 for
the erection of nn asylum for the recep
tion of three hundred of the orphan
daughters of soldiers, sailors nqd marines,
and have it endowed with the sum of
$700,000. The foundation stone of the
new asylum was laid in presence of Her
Majesty.
High Water in the Lake.
The water of Lake Michigan is now
said to be higher than it has been ever
known since 1838, when the rise was so
great as to kill trees over one hundred
years old. Ti) e level uoyy is but fourteen
inches below that of 1888 The fact is
not in accordance with the supposed pe
riodical rise and fall known as the seven
years theory. The mouths of the com
pleted city sewers are half filled with wa
ter, which demonstrates that they have
not been constructed too high. A
northeast blow, raising the water a foot
and a half higher, might do considerable
damage to goods stored in many of the
pellftrs of the city. —Chicago Times.
The Protestant World In Conference.!
A Convention, composed of representa- j

cing all denominations of Protestant !
Christians, has been called, under the
auspices of the “Evangelical Alliance,” i
and, by invitation of the King of Prussia,
will meet in Berlin, Prussia, in Septem
ber next. Among the representatives j
are Dr. Dwight, Dr. King, and Mr. Schaf
fer, missionaries from Constantinople.— j
A large delegation from the United States ;
will be present. Among them the Rev.
Dr. Alexander, from the Old School Pres
byterian Church ; Dr. Forsyth, from the
Associate Reformed ; Rev. lYm. Nast, of
Cincinnati, from the Episcopal; and Dr.
Black, from the Reformed Presbyterian.
The latter two sailed on Thursday in the
steamer Indian. The Archbishop of
Canterbury, with various prelates and
foreign ambassaders, have interested
themselves in the matter. Dr. Meri
d’Aubigne has consented to prepare a dis
course on the Evangelical Alliance for the
promotion of union, as compared with
assemblies in primitive times for the same
purpose. Reports on the state of Protes
tantism in different countries are to be
made, and a general interchange of sen
timent enjoyed. The subject of religious
liberty will be freely discussed, as the
King has promised protection in perfect
freedom of speech on this as well as all
other subjects. The meeting is looked
forward to with great interest by the
Christian world.

HOW TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.—Nothing is
more becoming a man or woman than a beautiful
luxuriant head of hair, aud a woman’s beauty is
certaiDly incomplete without a fair complexion,
and he or she who neglects these great and im
portant adornments of nature must expect to suf
fer the mortification of premature baldness, and
a wrinkled face aud a sallow skin. Nothing is
necessary to preserve these essential attractions
but the use of Prof. Wood’s Restorative.—Louis
ville Times.
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. —We have had
occasion to use this famous preparation of Prof.
Wood’s, and after thorougly testing its qualities,
we find that when the hair is thin it will thicken
it, if gray it will restore it to its original color;
likewise, it gives it a glossy appearance, as well as
keeps the hair from falling off . — Baltimore Clipper.

DR. BELL’S OPINION OF UOSTETTEK’S BIT
TERS.— Springfield, 111.. April 14, 1856.—Some
months since, while recovering from ur. attack of
Remittent Fever, I was requested to try Hostetter’s
Bitters, as an article peculiarly suited to the con
dition of convalescents from fever. It is but sim
ple justice to say that it restored tho powers of my
digestive organs, and at the same time kept my
bowels gently open. I have no hesitancy in say
ing, that, hitherto, in using it in my practice, it
has, in every case where I have ordered it, acted
like a charm. In tiius speaking freely of it, I far
from puff a patent medicine, an article it by no

EAR AND EYE
DRS. LEBRUN & DUFTON
OCULISTS AND AURISTS. ’
DR. LEBRUN offers to those suffering from
dealness, his infallible aural remedies which
have been successful in nearly three thousand
cases of confirmed deafness I These remedies have
been pronounced by Drs. Khramer, of Berlin, and
Deleau, ot Pans, and Curtis Pilcher, of London as
the most wonderful ever applied for diseases of’in
ternal and middle ear. They comprise different
courses for the various diseases that uflect the ex
ternal and middle ear. Dr. Lebrun warrants a
cure in every case, where the ear is perfect in its
formation. He has eighteen certificates from those
who have been deaf from infancy, whose hearing
is now completely restored, and tliev are now ena
bled to learn the language 1 Over twenty-seven
hundred cases of deafness have been successfully
treated by him. Certificates to that effect niav I*
seen on application.
In all cases of deafness arising from inflamma
tion, thickening, or even perforation of the • mem
brana tympani,’ usually called the 1 drum;’ inflam
mation ot mucous membrane of the tympanum
and custtehain tube, with accumulation of mucus
nervous affections, polypus growths, Ac, or w-hm
the disease cau be traced to scarlet, typhus, bilious
or intermittent fever, colds, the use of quinine or
mercurial medicines, gatherings in the ears of
childhood. Ac., the sense can, in ueaily eveiy in
stance, be restored. When a want of secretion is
apparent, the -auditory canal’ being dry and
scaly: when the deafness is accompanied with
noises in the ear, like rustling of leaves, chirping
of insects, falling water, ringing of hells, pupa
tions, discharge of matter; when in a stooping
position a sensation is felt ns if a rush of blood to
the head had taken place; when the hearing is
perfectly acute where there is much noise, or less
ucute lh dull, cloudy weather, or when cold has
been taken, the course pursued by Dr. Lebrun is
considered infallible.
Dr. DUFTON, the only practitioner in the United
States who practices the new-, piainless, and sue
ceseful method in treating all diseases to which
the Eye is subject, where every other means have
failed to afford relief; he asks from such a fair and
impartial taial. Patients sending a few particulars
of their case, can have remedies sent to any part.
TESTIMONY.
*’ We the undersigned, practjtlopeps of piedirinf
in the city of New York, having had occasion to
witness the practice of Drs. Lebrun and Dufton,m
diseases of the Ear and Eye, laying aside all pro
fessional jealousy and prejudice, freely admit the
course pursued by them in treating diseases of
those delicate organs, from the unparalleled suc
cess which has attended it, is well worthy the at
tention of our professional brethren throughout
the United States. Their system of treating discu
ses of the middle and internal ear, by the use of
‘medicated vapors,’ particularly in chronic ami
complicated cases, forms anew era in the practice
of aural surgery, and fills up a void which has long
been felt by the general practitioner. In diseases
ot the eye, they seldom require to resort to an op
oration.. As skillful Aurists and Oculists, and en
thusiastically* devoted to their profession, we cor
dially recommend them to such as may roquirc
their aid.” SigDed,
