The newspapers that are so glib in al luding to the revenue reformers as “those who favor the free trade farce” do not act jo as to command the respec t and confi dence of intelligent people. Such papers are generally the organs of monopolists and the real enemies of the rights of the people. All that is required to perform a faith cure is that the patient must have faith enough to believe, without doubting that ae will be cured. The roan who thinks there is no use praying for rain until the wind changes, is not the kind of man to be cured by faith—and this kind appear to be in the large majority. Some of the mugwumps who boasted that they supported Cleveland from prin ciple anil did not expect or w ant any of the spoils of victory, appear to be a little off because some ot the- Democratic lead ers have been disposed to believe in their sincerity.

Just as it had become generally under stood over the country that the English navy could -knock out” our alleged war ships in less than fifteen minutes the com plaints of the English press are heard that the navy of that country is tot only ia a sad state ofdecay, but that the proper authorities are afraid to rebuild it, lest it sual! be rendered antiquated by the im provements in the science and art of w ar, V t ire the work can be accomplished.

Not only has heavy earthquake snooks been recently reported from Ton tine, but stones from 15 to 20 tons in weight are said to have been thrown out of the earth, and rumbling is continually* heard in the bowels of the mountain. Perhaps the phenomena at Tonchie are no: any more wonderful than were those at Ba!d Mountain, but the scientific liars, it they are not more talented, have the better outlet to their contributions to Munchausen literature through the wide ly circulated columns of the New York city newspapers. The scheme proposed by a few promi nent manufacturers to form a great Protective Tarifl Association in the United States as a sort of opposite of the famous Cobden Club, does not sec-m to promise to be a success. Already it has become apparent that the manufacturers of the different sections of the Union are sadly divided among themselves on the subject of protection, and it is doubtful it any uniform policy can be agreed upon. SOme want one class of manufactures pro tected and some another, and were it not from fear of the power of the genuine reformers, the protectionists would them selves, probably, attempt a reform, or, rather, change of the tariff in the interests certain great monopolists. ■J he Message, The President’s message will not ap pear to the general reader as a remark able document in any respect. It is about the regulation length, and it reviews an i approves the reports of Secretaries of the different departments of the government in the usual way. There is no particular reason, however, why it should be remarkable, or why it should contain anything startling. Tee country is at peace with all nations, and the outlook tor a prosperous future is promising. The message, taken all iu all. is a plain, unpretentious and sensible State paper, and is in admirable keeping w ith the tone of Mr. Arthur’s administra tion. It is respectable and satisfactory, and Mr. Arthur's administration is re spectable and satisfactory. The message opens with an excellent recommendation. It is that Congress without further delay provide a bet ter method for counting the elec toral vote. Congress has been tinkering with this subject for a long while, and has made scarcely any pro gress with it. The country wants Con gress to act with regard to it, in order that it may be rid ot the apprehension of danger that grows out of it. A good deal appears to have been done in the way of making treaties since the last meeting of Congress. A treaty with recard to a Nicaragua canal and railroad has been completed, a acommercial treaty with Spain has been arranged am! a treaty with Belgium has been azreed upon. This commercial treaty w ith Spain, considered in connec tion w ith a similar treaty with Mexico now awaiting ratification, and the treaty with the Haiwaiin Government, a desire for a renewal of which has been expressed, suggests the idea that the Republican party appears to be aiming at a certain kind cf free trade by means of commer cial treaties. The President is ceitainly right about one thing. The country has about all the silver dollars and silver certificates that is good for it. There is a danger point in this silver coinage business and it may be reached sooner than is generally suspected. The silver dollar is worth only 85 cents, and the silver cer tificate is worth no more. The Secretary cl the Treasury points out that these sil ver certificates are a depreciated curren cy. and in the event of financial troubles the people may refuse to take them for more than they are worth. The recommendation to call in *1 and lolls may be wise, but will be read by the public with regret. The repugnance to silver on account of its weight is very general. The recommendations relative to one cent postage on drop letters and the pay ment of salaries to United States Attor neys and Marshals instead of fees, are old but good. No doubt tlr y will be adopted in good time. The President’s views with respect to cultivating c loser trade relations with the countries south of us will command at tention. It is certain that we must look in that diroction for much of our com mercial prosperity in the future. A good beginning has been made by interesting the Mexican and South American people in the New Orleans Exposition. Of course there is a word of commen dation for the civil service law. The Re publicans are now particularly anxious that the law sball be sustained. The I’resident realiz-s that this is the last message from a Republican Presi dent that will be rc-ad to Congress for some time. It may be the last for many years. The President takes the occasion, express his appreciation of the kindness and courtesy his administration has received from Congress. As Mr. Ar thur has made a good President, and is liked by Congress and the country, his expressions of appro :iation are doubtless reciprocated by Congress, The Report of the Secretary of the ! Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury devotes i a pood deal of attention in his report to j the very unsatisfactory condition of our manufacturing interests. While he does' not say that their condition is due to cur ' present tarili system, the inference is plain from what he says that that is his opinion. Summed up, his position is that j before our manufactories can be prosper ous they must have other markets for j their products, and that these markets nui6t be found in foreign countries. They cannot find markets there now because our tariff prevents them iroin competing there with the man ufactories of the manufacturing countries of Europe. Our manufactories are able now, by running on full time six months in each year, to supply the demand of the home market. Until they can compete in. foreign markets, therefore, they are doomed to idleness half their time. This is about what the tariff reformers have been saying all the time, and what the protec'ionists will be forced finally to admit. The Secretary thinks that a com mission ought to be appointed to revise the tarifl, and that while the work of re vision is being done the best means of pro moting our foreign trade ought to be kept steadily in view. The Secretary calls attention to the trade of Brazil, showing that our imports from that country are many times greater than our exports to it. The same is true with regard to all the countries south cf us. These countries would rather trade with us than with European countries, and would do so if we could offer them the same advantages. The time has come when we must offer them the same advantages, if our manu facturing interests are to continue to prosper. Whether or not the evils from which our industrial interests suffer can be reached be9t through a commission is a question for Congress to determine. We have had experience with one commission which was not in all respects satisfacto ry. Its work, however, while not ac cepted was made the basis of legislation. There is no doubt that it furnished a great deal of information. Fublio sentiment will become sufficiently crystnlized, doubtless, during the next twelve months to guide the Democratic party in its tariff legislation next Congress. The Meeting; of Congress. The present session of Congress, which began yesterday, promises to be rather uneventful. Beyond the appropriation bills it is not probable that there will be much legislation of importance. An at tempt will be made to secure a long ad journment during the present month to allow members to visit the New Or leans Exposition. If the attempt suc ceeds there will be little or nothing clone before the second week in January. The appropriation bills wlll take up about all the time between that date and the date of final adjournment. There may be some talk of tariff legislation, but it is about certain that no legislation of that kind will be attempted. There will not be time, for one reason, and, besides, the tariff reformers will be stronger in the next than in the present Congress. The country is looking towards the next administration, and the inauguration next March already has more interest for the country than anything that is likely to flow from this Congress. The Democratic majority in Indiana on the legislative ticket was remarkable something over 110,000. They say the pop ularity of Dan Voorhees, who is a candi date for re-election to the United States Senate, did it. Somehow or other Yoor hees has been kept Tery far back in the Presidential background. Haw would Bayard and Yocrhees sound for 188 b? THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1881. The State Ftoad and an Assessment Law. One of the reasons advanced for the sale cf the State Road at this time is that there is a deficiency in the State's reve nues of something like $250.0001, and that it will not be long before the Slate will be behindhand in it 9 accounts $500,000. A prominent member of the Legislature lately stated that to make up the de ficiency and to provide a revenue that would meet all the necessary expenses of the State Government would require an increase of taxation of at least 33 per cent. The bonded indebtedness of the State cannot be increased; the constitution pro hibits anything of that kind. The only way to get the State out of its present and threatened financial troubles, so those who advocate the sale of the State Road think, is to sell the road and apply the money not only to the liquidation of the floating debt, but also to the bonded debt. The proceeds of the sale of the road would clear off so much of the bonded debt that the sum required for the interest on the remainder would be comparatively small, and the present revenues, relieved of a large part of the interest charge, would be amply sufficient for the needs or the gov ernment. Independent of the question whether it is advisable or not to sell the State Road at the present time, is it not possible to make the present tax rate meet all the ex penses of the government and even to pro vide the means for meeting the existing deficiency ? Is there an intelligent member of the Legislature who does not know that a very large part of the property of the State is not taxed at ali. and that a great deal of it is not taxed at anywhere near its taxable value? Do not all the mem bers of the Legislature know that if prop erty were taxed equally, and somewhere near its cash value, the revenues of the State would be more than sufficient for all purposes? Why, then, do they waste their time with measures which are of minor import ance, and refuse to pas 9 an assessment law that would give satisfaction to tax pavers and relieve the State of all finan cial embarrassments? All lisnest tax payers want a fair and just assessment law. Dishonest taxpayers would be glad if there were no law at all. Year after year this demand for a bet ter and fairer assessment law has gone up to the Legislature, and year after year it has been ignored. Certainly there must be men in the present Legislature capable of framing an assessment law such as the State needs. Of course those who have managed to escape paying their fair snare of taxes thu9 far hope to continue to escape. They will use their influ ence to defeat any legislation that looks towards equalizing the burdens of taxa tion, but are the wishe3 of these people to be regarded in preference to the tvashes of honest taxpayers? The proposition to sell the State Road and apply the pro ceeds to tue relief of the State is nothing more than a proposition to apply the State’s property to the payment of the taxes of dishonest taxpayers. We pass no opiniou upon the question of the advisability ot selling the State Road, but we do say that the proposition to sell the road to meet deficiencies ought to open the eyes of the Legislature to the necessity of providing an honest assess ment law. Tlie Virginia Kpitlemic. It is difficult to realize that a disease as deadly as the cholera is killing people by the hundreds in certain counties of the mountain districts of Virginia, West Vir ginia and Kentucky. The stories of suf fering and death that have reached the public from those regions almost surpass belief. The wonder is that the condition ot affairs has existed so loDg without at tracting notice, and that ever since the truth has been make known so little sympathy for the stricken people has been From accounts that, are received almost daily from the afflicted region, the epidemic has not abated. Peo ple are dying not only from the myste rious disease, but also from starvation. It seems strange that in this country, where breadstuff's are now so cheap that the poorest ought to have plenty, we should read that people of sections of three great States are dying from starva tion. The fact is, however, that in these regions where the mysterious disease is a terrible drought has prevailed for many months. Chops have yielded noth ing comparatively and the people in many instances have been too sick to gather what little they did yield. There ought to be some organized movement to render the suffering people aid. The only help they have received was sent th< m by the Cattle Convention, lately in session iu St. Louis. They are certainly legitimate ob jects of charity. If a telegram from Atlanta to the Nash ville American is to be accepted as liter ally (and not figuratively only) true,'the dignified, reserved and learned Samuel J. Randall must have been strangely affected bv the Atlanta air as soon as he reached that town. The telegram says: “When Mr. Randall arrived last night, owing to the disarrangement of the schedules, it was at an hour when no one was present to receive him, and he retired quietly to his room in the hotel. It was not long, however, before his privary was broken by the entrance of Henry W'. Grady, the gentleman who adjourned the Georgia Legislature in honor of Uleveland’s elec tion. Clasping Mr. Grady in his arms, Mr. Randall said: ‘Your adjournment of the Legislature was the noblest event In history. lam proud of you and of your act.’ ” It is gratifying to know that Mr. Randall does not consider his union with the Republicans to defeat a Democratic attempt to reduce tariff taxation the no blest event in history. A well-known American writer testi fied several years ago that “For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinee is peculiar,” consequently the average American does not like to admit that he is far behind the average Mongolian in shrewdness and wisdom. It appears, however, that even our great statesmen have not been able to prevent the legal admission of Chinamen into this coun try. The Chinese assert that the law re.- strictiDg Chinese immigration is incom plete and very easily circumvented. The principal loophole is that it fails to pro hibit the influx of Chinamen wjio are naturalized as citizens or subjects of other countries. The Chinese have got this matter down fine, and get naturali zation papers (English) at Hong Kong for £2.105., French 40f., Peruvian $5. Spanishes, etc. As the Consuls of many countries only require the payment of fees as a condition precedent to the issu ing of naturalization papers, it may easi ly be seen how weak the wisdom of our statesmen has been. The tricks of the heathen Chinee are not so vain after all. The popularity of the gallant and bloody (shifted) Gen. John A. Logan appears to have declined wonderfully since his de feat. They say it was almost impossible to get up enough money in Washington the other day to hire a band to toot around him when he arrived from the West, in fact only a eection of the Marine Band furnished music fer the occasion. “There’s nothing succeeds like success,” and there’s nothing fails like defeat.

One piece of news that finds a place in the Maine newspapers this week looks as if it had strayed from Georgia or the Carolinas and lost its way among the winding roads of Maine. It is that a man in Cumberland coun ty has recently given an order to a mar‘le worker for a monument to be erected over the grave of a former slave of the family, who lies buried under Marne soil. The. slave was owned by one of the early settlers of Maine, ran away from his master, enlisted, and, af er serving in the army, retired in the enjoyment of a pens on and his freedom, and died many years ago, having attained the good old age of over a hundred years. It is only an act of poetic justice that ’this poor slave should be remembered after to tnanv years by a de-eend - ant of his former master, but it is an a lit tle out of the common course. The effects of slavery in Maine and the other Northern States have so entirely passed awaytlat it is difficult to realize that it ever existed there. A TEN-TON TANK WAGON of CrCOSOtC Oil Was despatched from Newcastle, Kngland, to the north. While it was passing along the Cale donian lice at Blackford it was discovered that a brass piug, 3 inches in diameter, in the bottom of the tank, and need for emt tying it. had fallen out. The leakage was so great that the ground between the rails for TO vards was covered with oil fully 3 inches in deoth. The station master at Blackford and the porters endeavored to plug the hole with waste, but before the leakage was stopped the tank was nearly emptv. By this ti ne the stream of oil was rush.rg over the north embankment of the railway into an ad iacent field, where there is a drain lending to the rivor Allan, a distance of 150 varus. The oil, getting into the conduit, poured into the river, killing every living thing as far down as Dunblane. Thousands of fish lay dead in the river, no fewer than 300 being counted in one pool. The eels were allkille 1 and a num ber of water rats were poisoned. The Allan is a favorite stream with anglers, but it is stated that rears must elapse before the river is restored to the condition in which it was before tlie accident. I Si} i'N.

Miss Jennie , lace bed set.”— Harper's Bazar. “Aw, my dear fellah, I notice you cawwy vouah cane by the handle.” “Tes.sir; that is what the handle is made for.” “But, yon knave, that is not the pwoppah capah: it’s not Knghsh, ye knaw.” “I don't care.” “But tell me. dealt fellab, why you do not assume English ways as the west of us do. You ah so deuced odd. ye knaw?” “I don’t know, unless it is that I am English and have lived in Eng land all my life.” — Chicago Metes. Not long since a New Hampshire com mittee man was examining an infant school class. “Can any little girl or boy give the definition of the word ‘average?’” be asked. For some time no one replied, but finally a Uitle girl hesitatingly replied: “It is a thing a hen lays an egg cd sir.” “No, that’s not right.” ‘‘Yes, sir, my book says so;” at and she trotted up to her questioner and pointed to this sentence in her reading book. “A hen lays an egg every day on an average."—£tery Other Saturday.

He gives the following history of the early set ters of Kelly’s Island: “In the first place, the island was literally covered with snaies and reptiles, and no human being, not even the noble red man. had the. courage to dispute their right and title to the island. Daring a beavv storm many years ago a schooner was wrecked off McGodgain's Point The boat carried a cargo of live hogs. All hands were 10-t, tut the hogs swam ashore, and, as they found little else to feed upon, they made a diet of snakes. In the course of time they suc ceeded in devouring all the snakes on the island. Then the Kelly family put in an appearance and began devouring the hogs, a feat which was accomplished easily and quickly. Nothing has since succeeded in ex terminating the Kelly family.”—.Verc York Sun. PERSONAL. John Nthabt Mill’s adopted daughter. Helen Taylor, is an editor of the London Democrat.

CIIUSIED UNDER A STONE. Horrible Death of a Staten Island Jlo tel Proprietor. Theodore Ludwig, proprietor of the ho tel at Castleton Corners, Staten Island, says the New York Times of Nov. 29, met with a horrible death on Tuesday or Wednesday. The exact time of his death is not known. Mr. Ludwig has a large farm near the hotel. He went out Tues day with a spade, telling the family that he was going to dosome work. He didnot return that night, but his family paid no attention to that fact, "as he frequently went out driving and did not return over night. On Wednesday afternoon a friend called to sec him. It was then discovered that all the horses were in the stable, and search was made about the neighborhood for the missing man. Piercing screams from Mrs. Ludwig brought the searching party hur riedly to her. It was after dark, and they all carried lanterns. The rays from Mrs. Ludwig's lentern revealed to the others the ghastly face ot Mr. Ludwig tulned upward from a large and newly dug hole in the ground. Mrs. Ludwig had fainted beside the corpse of her husband. A huge boulder was resting on the chest of the dead man. His tongue and eyes pro truded, and his face was discolored. It was evident that he had died from suffo cation. An examination of the spot showed that the unfortunate man had dug a large hole under the boulder, intending to bury it. He dug too far and undermined the rock, which fell upon him and pressed against him with such crushing force that he could make no outcry for help. How long he iived after the accident could not be discovered. The doctors said that he might have been pinned there for a day before death ensued, or he might have died in a few minutes. It took 10 men and a derrick to hoist the stone so that the body could be extricated. A liird in the Hand.

Her Admirer Driven Away by Wicked Father and a Malevolent Goat. John Doe ami Richard Rce, says the New York Times, are aliases for two esti mable gentlemen of this city, whose names are withheld for the sake of their rela tives. John Doe is a wealthy merchant, who resides iu a fashionable part of East Sixtieth street, near Madison avenue. He is the progenitor of a lovely daughter w ho has just reached the charming age of 20 years. Richard Roe is a young'man of 25 years, whose occupation in life is being a dude. Richard had the felicity a year ago of meeting Miss Doe at the charity ball, and since then he has whoshipeil continuously at her shrine* Miss Doe has reciprocated his affection in a man ner, and all during the past summer he turned up regularly at every watering place she visited, timing his visits so as to avoid Mr. Doe very adroitly. For. Mr. Doe, st’rante as it may seem, neither loved nor respected poor Richard, and he habitually made luu ot that guile less youth to bis daughter, and was not always particular that the object of his jests should be absent at these times. Mr. Doe has even been known to be a trifle coarse. For instance, upon one occasion when he came into the parlor and ob served Mr. Roe in very tight lavender trousers perched upon an end of the sofa, he warned his daughter not losit down in her lover’s lap for fear she might snap his legs off. and-it was a draw as to whether Miss Doe or Mr. Roe blushed the more violently. Upon another occasion, as Mr. Roe was one afternoon gingerly descending the front 6tep9 of Mr. Doe’s mansion, and smiling into the window at Miss Doe, the old gentleman rudely shouted: “Hi! hi!” 60 as to attract the attention ot every one in the street. When Mr. Roe looked around'Mr. Doe yelled that there w#s something sticking on the back of his coat, and everybody in the vicinity saw that the old gentleman referred to the tails of Mr. Roe’s cutaway, which w ere visible below his top coat, and the unfortunate youth was overcome with contusion at the mirth of the popu lace. Upon this occasion Miss Doe tear fully informed her parent that he was a horrid old thing, and she would never, never speak to him again as long as she lived, and Mr. Doe laughed himself al most into an apoplectic lit. But there was one evening in the week Richard discovered when he might feel safe from tbc gibes of the parent of bis lcved one. That was Thursday evening, when Mr. Doe Invariably remained at his club until toward midnight. Richard never failed to take advantage ot the op portunity thus afforded, and many happy Thursdays has he spent this fall both in anticipation and realization, tor he had been engaged to Miss Doe since early in September, though lie has never had the courage to ask rude old Mr. Doe for his daughter's hand. Last Thursday evening Mr. Roe called as usual in Sixtieth street, and he remained in the front parlor until 11:30 p.m. He was on the point of de scending the steps a few moments after this hour when he discovered a goat that had probably wandered over from Shantytown, loafing in the street below him. Mr. Roe, being a prudent young man and possess ing some slight knowledge ot natural his tory, decided to remain upon the steps un til the animal had passed. The goat ob served him. and Mr. Itoe perceived with a thrill of horror that it seemed interested and paused to size him up, as vulgar per sons would, and Mr. F.oc would hot say. The young man backed up into the corner of the doorway, and was on the point of rmging the bell, having determined to re enter and pretend he had left something in the parlor, in order to avoid a collision, when the goat started, listened to a foot fall approaching from the vicinity of Fifth avenue, and then cantered down" to meet the wayfarer. Mr. Roe felt relieved until he looked down the street and saw that the person approaching was none other than Mr. Doe, and that the goat bad marked him for its own. Mr. Dye also perceived his peril. He barely had time to drop his sil ver-handled umbrella and seize the beast bv the horns as it charged upon him, and Mr. Roe observed and trembled. He saw Mr. Doe look carefully about him and no tice that no one was in sight, and then the old gentleman attempted to back the goat up. The goat stood firm and traced his feet, and Mr. Doe did likewise. Then Mr. Roe approached timidly, feeling that if be Could only get Mr. Doe out of his scrape he would ask him for his daughter’s hand before the old gentleman recovered from his gratitude. “Aw,” he said to Mr. Doe, who, very xed in the face, was being gradually pushed back toward the gutter, “can l— aw—be of any assistance?" “Yes— you—in—fer nal—nin— com— poop,” gasped 51 r. Doe, out of breath from his struggles,” “catch—hold—of—one— horn there.” Mr. Roe valiantly rushed around and seized the goat by the left horn. Mr. Doe promptly let goof the Ireast aitogetber.and Mr. Roe had just sufficient time to seize the right horn, also to prevent himself from thrown over. Then the goat deliberately began to back him down to ward Madison avenue, and he called to Mr. Doe for assistance. Mr. Doe calmly arranged his own disordered clothing, nonchalantly picked up his umbrella, bade Mr. Roe hold on tight, ascended his steps, unlocked the door, and entered his house. Then Mr. Roe’s soiree began. The goat ran him backward to Madison avenue, and then turned him around and rushed him up to Fourth. Mr. Roe dared not scream lest his cries should cali forth his lady love, and he was too proud for that, and so he only clung to the animal’s herns and suffered and was strong. At 1 o’clock a policeman happened to pass in that vicinity, and he at once arrested slr. Roe and the goat, made the unfortu nate youth back up to the police station, still holding the animal by the horns, while the officer amused himself by st r ring up its ardor with his club. Here Sir. Roc was able to explain matters satisfac torily, and was released. He has not called at the Doe mansion since, and Miss Doe wonders-yet what caused her lather to roar with laughter long after he had been in bed on the night she last saw her lover, and whether the cause of his laughter had anything to do with Mr. Roe’s sudden cessation of worship at her shrine.

Intfruting Personal Experience of a Well-Known Philadelphia Lady. Philadelphia Time*. file following remarkable statement, lately made to one of our reporters, is vouched for by Oipt. Harry Mitchell, re siding at 50. old Jarvis street,a prominent Republican of the First ward, aud for merly Captain of the Watch at the Phila delphia navy yard. Mr. Mitchell hap pened to know that we had lately devoted considerable time to the investigation of cases where bodily relief had resulted from the use of that now famous medi cine, Brown’s Iron Bitters, and meeting the reporter the other day in front ox Independence Hall, "said: “I can tell you of something that may interest you. I know an elderly lady down town who told me yesterday that she had been rescued from the very jaws of death by using Brown’s Iron Bit ters. She is an intimate family acquaint ance of mine, and I knew sDe" had been very sick and was hardly expected to live from hour to hour. I was, therefore, nfore than astonished to meet her on the street, in apparent good health. I expressed my pleasure and surprise, when she informed me that she bad never expected to leave her house alive again, and that she had been most miraculously cured by using Brown’s Iron Bitters.” “Who is the lady, and where does she live?” our reporter inquired. “Her name is Mrs. Margaret Springfield, and she re sides at No. 812 Pierce street. She is the mother of a grown-up family of children, and 1s well known in the southern section of the city.” Capt. Mitchell then offered a personal introduction to Mrs. Spring field, and an appointment was made. They accordingly met and proceeded together to Mrs. Springfield’s residence. The lady was not at homo, but was found at the house of her daughter, corner of Eighth and Tasker streets. Our reporter states as follows: “I found Mrs. Spring field a well-preserved elderly lady of pleas ing manners and good conversational powers. Learning the object of our visit, she made the following statement in the presence of Capt. Mitchell and her daughter: ‘I can say that I thought I was on my death bed, and none of my family or friends believed I would recover. Peo ple were calling at my house continually asking about me, and from day to day ! was supposed to be dying. I am quite well now, and I can say that I consider my wonderful recovery entirely due to the use of Brown’s Iron Bitters. I was bed fast for three weeks, and for at least five weeks I could not eat anything. My greatest trouble was excessive pains in my side and breast, and I had the worst kind of malarial symptoms. 1 became so weak that I could not even lift my hand, and was complete ly prostrated all over. Tor some time I really felt more dead than alive. I know I contracted a very heavy cold, and it seemed to permeate every part of my sys tem. 1 suffered terribly, and got 6'o bad that 1 could not take anything at all. in sheer desperation I resolved to try Brown’s Iron Bitters because of some thing I had read about it. 1 seut for a bottle and commenced taking it, and to my great delight and astonishment I be gan to feel a sense of relief at once. I continued using it, and it seemed to drive out the pains in my breast. I began to. gain a little strength, and my appetite gradually returned. Brown’s" Iron Bit ters appeared to be just tbe thing my pros trated condition required, and, as 1 have said, I believe it saved my life. Certainly 1 never took anything in my life that did me so much good.’ ” - Our representative then remarked to Mrs. Springfield that we desired to give publicity to her statement, when Capt. Mitchell said: "I think It ought to be done as a philanthropic duty." If you know of anything that will benefit man kind it ought to be made public.” Mrs. Springfield then gave her consent, sav in'.': “I do not seek notoriety, but I atn perfectly willing that the 'world shall know of anything that has been of so great benefit to me, and I can certainly say that Brown’s Iron Bitters brought mo to strong life when everybody thought I was dying.” Mr. VYra. C. Workman, 110 Bay street, Savannah,says: “Fortwoyears I suffered from malaria fever and its dreadful effects, my physicians rendering me only tem porary relief. In Brown’s Iron Bitters I loun i decided and permanent benelir.” Miss Georgia Henderson, 21 Jones street, Savannah, says: “Asa tonic I deem Brown’s Iron Bitters worthy of the high est recommendations.” Mr. John H. H. Entelman, corner Broughton and East Broad streets, sa vannah, says: “I tried Brown’s Iron Bit ters as a blood purifier, and found it per fectly satisfactory.” Mrs. Mary E. Gaiibard. Barnard street, Savannah, says: “I used Brown’s Iron Bitters for fever with very beneficial re sults. It imparted great strength.” 51. A. Kiley, corner Brvan aud Farm streets, Savannah, says: “I used Brown’s Iron Bitters as a tonic and appetizer, aud found it ail 1 could desire.” 51rs. L. Sailer, Mo. 213 Charlton street.
