TOiE ©m©LE,
“Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound
Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found 1”
The unreasonableness of spiritual sloth. —
Rouse thyself, O my soul, from thy spiritual
lethargy ! Remember, ‘at every moment un
numbered beings take their flight into eter
nity. The infinite energy of the Eternal
Mind is awake to all the events of his utti
verse, and governing them all. The praises
and melodies of heaven are unsuspended.
The ever-prevailing Mediator continually in
tercedes. The day of thy summons into an
unknown world, swiftly approaches by the
unceasing hand of time; and every little sec
tion of the dial or the watch, which the
shadow or the index traverses, is a portion
of thy unintermitted progress towards the
home of spirits. “ Behold, the Judge stand
eth before the door!” It will be but a tran
sient succession, a swift continuation of hours
and minutes; and thou shalt have to look
back upon the consummation of terrestial
things, upon the awful disclosures and deci
sions of the great retributive day, upon the
moment when thy own character, as viewed
by the Searcher of hearts, stood first reveal
ed, and with it thy allotment in anew un
tried existence. Andnow, while those scenes
arc yet future, every action, every temper,
every purpose and bias of the mind is to be
regarded as sowing for an eternal harvest.
The influences of heaven, even of the Al
mighty, and all-Holy Spirit, are offered to
him that implores them ; and able to produce
in the soul “ fruit unto holiness, and the end
everlasting life.” A celestial and endless
blessedness is set before thy faith, with eve
ry solemn promise, and mighty work of
Christ to guarantee its reality; and he who
is gone to ‘‘prepare a place” for his follow
ers, has engaged to come again, and re
ceive them to himself.
Impropriety of severe exertion immediately
previous to or after meals. —The practical rule
of avoiding serious exertion immediately af
ter eating, has long been acted upon in our
treatment of the lower animals; and no one
who sets any value on the lives of his horses
or dogs, ever allows it to be disregarded
with respect to them. And yet the same
man who would, unhesitatingly, dismiss his
groom for feeding his horse immediately af
ter a chace or a gallop home, would proba
bly think nothing of walking into the house
and ordering dinner to be instantly served
for himself in similar circumstances. In the
army, the difficulty of managing recruits on
a march, in this respect, has often been re
marked. Fatigued withtheday’s exertions,
they can scarcely refrain from food so long
as to allow its being properly cooked. They
consequently labor under the double disad
vantage of eating before the system is in a
sufficient state of repose to benefit from the
supply, and of having the food in a condi
tion unfit for easy digestion. The old cam
paigner, instructed by experience, restrains
his appetite, kindles his fire, cooks bis victu
als, makes his arrangements for the night,
with a deliberation surprising to the recruit;
and he is amply repaid for his tempoiary
self-denial by the greater enjoyment and
support which he derives from the very same
materials which the impatience of the other
has caused him in a great measure to waste.

Thoughts for those who think. —The des
tinies of a nation depend less on the great
ness of the few, than the virtues or vices of
the many. Eminent individuals cast further
the features of her glory or shame ; but the
realities of her weal or wo lie deep in the
great mass. The curling tops of lofty waves
are the crest of the ocean, but from its depths
flows the overpowering strength of its tides.
A lady of fashion will sooner excuse a
freedom, flowing from admiration, than a
slight, resulting from indifference. The first
offence has the pleasing apology of her at
tractions; the last is bold, and without an
alleviation. But the mode in which she dis
poses of the two only shows that her love of
admiration is stronger than her sense of pro
priety.
He who maintains the right, though coun
tenanced by the few, must forego all excep
tions of popularity till there shall be less
to censure than applaud in human conduct;
and, when this is the case, the millenium
will have dawned.
A giant mind may be held in suspense,
but that suspense must be brief, and the ac
tion which follows it will be more decided
and energetic in consequence of that deten
tion; just as a stream rushes with greater
force for a temporary obstruction.
A man of a weak, complying disposition,
whom no one fears, no one will be at the
trouble to oppose; while a man of strong
and fixed character will be liable to opposi
tion, at least from those who expect to de
rive a certain kind of importance from the
dignity of their adversary. But he will com
£el eveu this opposition into subserviency to
imself; just as the mariner obliges the wind
that opposes him to help him forward.
The three, or rather four most helpless
things in the world are: a ship in a dead
calm, a whale thoroughly stranded, a race
horse with his wind broken, and a politician
in bad odor. Lucifer himself would have
nothing to do with either, unless it were the
last. He seldom utterly forsakes a political
game-cock:
But keeps him at the battle, or tho drill,
To work his master further mischief sull.
The influence of the good man ceases not
at death; be, as the visible agent, is remov
ed, but the light aud influence of his exam
ple still remain; and the moral elements of
this world will long show the traces of their
vigor and purity; just as the western sky,
after the sun has set, still betrays the glow
ing traces of the departed orb.— Rev. IF.
Colton, U. S. N.
He who thinks no man above him but for
his virtue, none below him but for his vice,
can never be obsequious or assuming in the
wrong place, but will frequently emulate
men in stations below him, and pity those
nominally over his head.
Many of the empty pots of an apotheca
ry’s shop are as gaudily decorated and neatly
marked as those that are full, and the bot
tles that make the greatest show in the street
are filled with a colored useless fluid.
Thoughts on Matrimony. —Great dispari
ty in matrimony is an evil in many particu
lars; and what is more unnatural than to see
a young miss wedded to a man old enough
to be her father 1 He ought to have sense
enough to know, that unless she is an ec
centric character, she never married him
for love; and she ought also to know, that
in consenting to marry him, she in all proba
bility consented to make herself a wretched
slave—to put herself in the power of a man
who had already expended his first & warm
est love upon others; and who, by his su
perior age, his matured habits of pleasing
himself and of having his own way, and the
self-importance which property gives, was
well qualified to act the part of the tyrant,
rather than that of the husband. If a young
man has property, he may of course many
at a suitable age, and adopt the style of
living which is justified by his means. But
if he is destitute of property, he has three
alternatives, and he can take his choice be
tween them. Selecting a prudent and in
dustrious person for his wife, he may many
young and live in the style of simplicity
adapted to his income; or he can wait till
he has acquired a property, so as to be able
to support a family in the more modem and
fashionable style; ol he can marry at any
rate, launch fearlessly out into all the expen
ses of a fashionable establishment, and run
his chance of bringing his wife and children
to want. The first is the best, the second
is next, the third is too bad to be thought
on.— Winslow.
Opposite Characters. —Mole-catchers are
a singular class of men—what one would
call characters —with a considerable share of
low wit, and a sly, cunning look, slow and
deliberate in all their movements and parts
of speech. They are silent and stealthy in
their walk, as if the very- success of their
operations depended on their not giving the
alarm to the little animal they wanted to en
trap. I also observe that they are much
bent, from the constant habit they have of
stooping to look for the runs of the mole.
They are, however, possessed of much acute
ness, and by means of a small fee, are gene
rally tolerably communicative. Therat-catch
er is a very different kind of person. There
is frequently an impudent, saucy look about
him, which seems to partake of the charac
ter of the animal he destroys. His very
dogs are afraid of him, and they appear sulky
and half-starved. His conversation is gene
rally in praise of his dogs and ferrets, and
the number of rats he has destroyed with
them. He is a great frequenter of the ale
house, and conveys all the scandal from one
village to another in the progress of his call
ing. My friends, the mole-catchers, on the
contrary, area sober and quiet race of men,
fond of accumulating money, and are sel
dom to be met with in an alehouse. Their
cottages arc generally neat and clean, and
the implements of their calling tidily bestow
ed iri them—such as two or three spades, a
bundle of tough hazels, and some wooden
traps —and in an evening may frequently be
seen twisting their horse-hair nooses, or cut
ting a hazel stick to its proper length.
Some desire is necessary to keep life in
motion; and he whose real wants are sup
plied must admit of fancy.

®D©®RAIPInIII(SAIL O
LAFAYETTE.
BY HILLHOUSE.
But how came Gilbert Mortier Lafayette
instructed in the Freeman’s creed 1 ? His
young heart was not moulded at the firesides
of New England: he was not born in that
old Bay State, so fatal, by day and by night,
to all presumption; the untamed blood of
Pocahontas mingled not in his veins: mater
nal lips never touched his sympathies by re
citals of the hopes, fears, faith, and constancy
of the little band who gazed from the deck
of the Mayflower at the receding shores of
England, and, afterward, with no stay but
God, stepped from the winter sea upon the
inhospitible rock of Plymouth: the pains of
non-conformity had never driven him or his
fathers to scrutinize the foundation of au
thority : he did not learn the doctrine of
Equal Rights in the Text Book of the Pil
grims. When the future Patriots of the
Revolution were following their fathers to
the harvest field, young Lafayette was sur
rounded with attendance and observance as
the precious orphan of a noble house in an
old ceremonious monarcy. While they were
learning at the school house, and meeting
house, the duties of Freemen, and Puritans,
he was acquiring the accomplishments of a
preux chevalier at the college of Louis le
Grand, or was imbibing in French palaces
devotion to beauty and royalty, as the page
of Marie Antionette.
Connected, by historic recollections, with
all the haughty assumption of the feudalday,
every illusion of transmitted glory and aris
tocratic pride, seemed to conspire with a
generous and fearless spirit, to develope in
him the character of a gallant French No
bleman. Married at seventeen to an heiress
of the illustrious and powerful house of
Noailles, and raised ere nineteen, to the
rank of a commissioned officer, he seemed
in the very morning of life to possess all
that nature and fortune can bestow. Perso
nal distinction alone was wanting; and the
path of honor lay open before him, attended
with no other difficulties than those which
make it honorable.
Surrounded with objects, opinions and
observances, calculated to dazzle and de
ceive, with every feudal and French preju
dice bound thick upon his eyes, by what ex
ternal illumination, or external impulse, did
his youthful mind discover the bearings of
human rights ? What causes called into fife,
and nourished the embryo of those princi
ples, which at last found vent in the surpri
sing act of devoting himself to tho achieve
ment of American Independence ? These
questions we cannot answer; for his imita
tion in the faith seems as independent of the
instructions of those who were his elders,
and subsequently, his brethren, as that of
Paul himself, who tells us that he ‘conferred
not with flesh and blood.’
Suddenly; among the anxious proscribed
Patriots, who had commenced the great la
bor of establishing human liberty, appears
from another hemisphere, o youthful and
acd m n Hi it
noble stranger —not a pupil, but an equal—
ardent as themselves—qear-sighted—well
instructed—resolved to Itazard all in their
despised and doubtful cause ! That resolu
tion—if he bad perished on the sea—if he
had fallen by the first shot—ought to have
made his name sweet in every Freeman’s
mouth, while Freedom shall endure. But
it was not suffered to be unfruitful.
Its consequences, as developed in our his
tory, are great —to France they have been
momentous —and they promise to be active,
and, we fear, needful, for centuries to come.
For after all that has been done to diffuse
the light of free institutions, the darkness of
middle night hangs over much of Europe.
Watchful eyes see indeed from the Rhine
toward the Cimmerian borders, hill-top after
hill-top greyly emerge, and slowly redden
—and they cling to hope; and wisely, for
the seeds of constitutional liberty are, in
fact, beneath the soil of many a spot, on
whose surface no promise yet appears. The
American traveller finds the German, yea,
the Prussian—though haughty and reserved
while mistaking him for a Briton—if made
aware of bis error, start into cordiality.
Frankness and pleasure beam from his eye
—his sympathies quicken—his questions be
come manifold; and at patting, he asks the
honor to grasp a freeman’s hand. This is
no fiction. Few are aware liow hallowed,
and how’deep, are their feelings, who wor
ship Liberty as a mistress they may never
possess. When such is the feeling of the
people, and with such examples to encour
age, as now’ exist, Despotism cannot sit like
the Ancient of Days. But years must roll
on—other battles must be fought—other
patriots cloven down—Poland rise, perhaps,
and sink again—ere that senate house is
built in Warsaw, under whose sacred por
ticoes the freemen of distant nations will
delight to meet.
Among all who have labored in the great
cause of man, none has acted a more benev
olent, consistent and illustrious part, than
he who left a brilliant destiny in Europe to
espouse the wrongs of these States. It is
impossible to do justice to his actions and
principles in a brief essay, for the first are
connected with the protracted changes of a
memorable age; and the latter lie at the
root of all just government. This is the
less to be regretted, as much of his life is a
familiar story, and as his principles are iden
tical with our own political faith. As if ev
ery thing conspired to prove his sincere con
victions, and his noble disinterestedness, the
moment of his embracing our cause was one
of overwhelming gloom. So discouraging
did our prospects seem—Washington being
then on his retreat through Jersey, with a
handful of defeated followers—that the A
merican Commissioners deemed themselves
bound in conscience and honor to dissuade
a highly connected youth from so unprom
ising an enterprise. Ilis answer to their
candid remonstrance embodies the spirit of
his whole life. “Hitherto,” said young La
fayette, “1 have done no more than to wish
success to your cause. I now go to serve it.
The more it has fallen in public opinion the
greater will be the effect,of my departure.
Siuce you cannot procure a vessel, I will
purchase and fit one out on my own expense ;
and I will also undertake to transmit your
despatches to Congress.” He purchased a
vessel, eluded his pursuers, embarked, and
made a successful winter passage over seas
beset by British cruisers. He presented
the despatchesof our Commissioners to the
American Congress, and, with them—made
an offer of himself.
Here, my countrymen, let uspause. Point
me, if you are aide, to a parallel; for my
own recollection does not supply it. He
was no needy adventurer pushing his for
tunes in the new world ; no disgraced pro
fligate seeking to cover* his branded front
with a military chaplet; no reckless misan
thrope embittered by disappointment till
perils had become grateful; he was no fid
lower of vulgar glory, no lover of the trade
of murder. Adorned with talents and vir
tue, possessor of a princely revenue, bask
ing in the royal favor, blessed with connu
bial happiness—with hopes thick clustering
round his noble head, “as blossoms on a
bough in May”—he forsook all, came to us
from beyond the ocean, asked leave to pay
liis own expenses, and fight, as a volunteer,
in our naked and barefoot regiments!

“ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride
When once destroy’d can never be supplied.”
From the Central New York Farmer.
Cheese. —Mr. Stephen Scott of Lee, whose
reputation as a dairyman is not surpassed by
any farmer in this vicinity, has furnished us
with the following account of his method of
Cheese making “ The night’s milk should
be skimmed in the morning, the cream put
in a kettle and warmed until it becomes
thin, then fill the kettle with milk and heat
all together; add the morning’s milk. The’
rennet should now be put in, in sufficient
quantity to cause the milk to coaerulate in
from half to three quarters of an hour, then
break it up carefully with the hands. When
settled, dipoff the whey and heat a sufficient
quantity to scald the curd. If the weather
is cool it will need more scalding than in
warm weather; keep it well stirred up when
scalding, as that the whole may be scalded
alike: dip into a sink to cool, and salt, so
that it will taste seasoned, press lorty eight
hours; turn and rub and grease every day,
while young put on as little grease as pos
sible.”
Cheeses which arc large, should be ban
daged with thin sheeting to prevent their
spreading. Much of the Cheese made in
this country is good, but many dairies are
of inferiorquality. We think many cheese
makers commit an error in making cheese
too late in tho season, in which case it is
not properly cured before sending to mar
ket, and consequently nearly worthless.
In all the operations of the dairy, it is
very essential (hat the vessels used, be pro
perly scalded so as to be kept perfectly
sweet and pure; for without this precaution
it is impossible to made good butter or
cheese, llie time has gone by when one
hundred pounds of butter or two hundred
pounds of cheese was considered a fair yield
from a cow in a season. AVith a good se
lection of cows and good management, from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds
of butter, or four to five hundred lbs. of
cheese may be made in a season from each
cow. This has been done, and what has
once been done can be done again, and there
is no part of the country more favorable for
the production of butter and cheese than
the central and northern counties in this
State.
Make the most of every thing, is a max
im that must never be overlooked by the
farmer who would make money by his pro
fession. There should be economy in de
pasturing as well as stall feeding cows. Are
your cows permitted to roam at pleasure,
over several pastures the same day or week 1
If so, your system should be changed im
mediately. Close up the sepasate lot, put
your cows into one, and then into another,
and so on.
Thus you can obtain a greater quantity of
feed, keep more cows in the same pastures,
and compel them to make clean work as they
go, eating not only the less sweet and more
prolific grasses of runs and low places, but
essentially checking growth of brush.—Bos
ton Cultivator.
It makes the work easier. —Muck or Peat
when fresh dug from the bog is wet and
heavy. Good farmers who use muck of this
material for compost, where their bogs are
at a distance from their yards or fields where
they intend to use it, thrqw out their peat at
leisure intervals and in dull weather in July
and August, in high nanowbanks, and leave
it to drain and dry. *
Thus double the quantity may be hauled
at a load with the same team, and the ob
jection on account of its distance from the
farm yard, be materially obviated. Peat
muck thrown up loosely, will shrink about
50 per cent. This will obviate the difficulty
arising from bad hilly lanes or roads.—Bos
ton Cultivator.
Agriculture directly or indirectly, pays the
burdens of our taxes and our toils —which
support the government, and sustain our in
ternal improvements; and the more abun
dant her means, the greater will be her con
tributions. The farmer who manages his
bnsiness ignorantly and slotlifully, and who
produces from it only just enough for the
subsistence of his family, pays no tolls on
the transit of his produce, and but a small
tax upon the nominal value of his lauds. In
struct his mind, and awaken him to industry,
by the hope of distinction and reward, so
that he triples the product of his labor, the
value of his lands is increased in a correspon
ding ratio, his comforts are multiplied, his
mind disenthralled, and two-thirds of his pro
ducts go to augment the business and tolls
of our canals and road. If such a change
in the situation of one farm, would add one
hundred dollars to the wealth, and one dol
lar to the tolls of the state, what an as
tonishing aggregate would be produced, both
in capital and in reveniJe, by a similar im
provement upon 250,000 farms, the assumed
number in New York. The capital would
be augmented 25 millions, and the revenue
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per
annum. [ Buel.
To cure the Heaves in Horses. —Take good
ginger—two table spoonfuls, put it in a wash
of scalded wheat bran, and feed with the
same twice a day till the cure is effected,
which, in nine cases in ten, will take place
in about 15 days. Bleeding and a nitrous
solution, (half an ounce to a drench) will
accelerate the cure.
Spanish Receipt to keep Porkfresh all the
Year. —First take out all the bones, then
rub the pork all over with Spanish brown,
and pack with a covering on each piece of
pork with Spanish brown in carpet bags—
and when wanted for cooking, it must be
washed off in waim water, and it appears
perfectly sweet and fresh. You may try it,
as I have, and you will find it true.
Kicking Cows. —A writer in the Farmer’s
Cabinet, upon dairy cows, says:
“ I have found a cure for this kicking dis
order, in its most desperate state. It is
merely to place the patient in a stall with a
beam over head, and fixing a running noose
over her horns, throw the end of the rope
over the beam and pull away, so as to raise
her head pretty high in the air, but not so
as to lift her legs from the ground : in this
position she will not only be disabled from
kicking, but will give down her milk without
the least hesitation.”
Garget. —Cows have been cured of the
Garget in our neighborhood, by giving them
a few doses of saltpetre, of a great spoonful
each, pounded fine, mixed with meal and
given to them once a day. This is preferred
here to the Garget root. — Boston Cultivator.
Cure for worms in children. —A writer in
the Farmer’s Register, who being a slave
holder has a large family under his care,
says, that for nearly 30 years he has found
the following preparation a certain cure for
worms. “ Take the fat of old bacon, sliced
and fried in a pan until the essence is all out
of it, take out the rind first then put in as
much worm seed (vulgarly called Jerusalem
Oak,) as is necessary, as much sugar or mo
lasses as will make it palatable, and give it
three mornings in succession. The children
will eat it freely—some you will have to re
strain from eating too much. Incredible as
it may appear. I have known as many as
one hundred and thirty large worms come
from a child three or four years old. I usu
ally give the medicine spring and fall.”
RELIEF OF CHOKED CATTLE.
Messrs. Gaylord Sf Tucker. —As I was
Fersuing the January No. of the Cultivator,
noticed that your corsespondent J. V. re
commended a hickory ramrod (or piston,)
to relieve choked cattle. I have known cat
tle killed by the use of such an instrument,
it bursting or breaking the pipe. The best
method and easiest, is to take a lump of
lard (cold,) about the size of a hen’s egg,
and a spoonful of powder mixed with it,
and haul out the tongue and throw it into
tho throat; let the tongue go back, and they
are relieved in one minute.

Berkshire Hogs.
rPHE subscriber having been for some time engaged
A in raising Berkshire stock, would inform those who
feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that lie has now
on hand eight or ten SUPERIOR SOWS, selected
from the stock of the best breeders at the North, viz :
Front Mr. Lossing, of Albany, Ncw-York, one sow ;
from Mr. C. N. Berncnt, of Three Hills Farm, near Al
bany, three sows ; and from Messrs. A. & G. Brentnall,
of Canterbury, New-York, three sows—together with
some ol my own raising, the produce of some of the
above named sows. 1 have also a boar from Mr. Los
sing, and a very superior boar from Mr. Bement.
My stock of hogs arc the produce of the most cele
brated boars ever imported into this country, among
which may be mentioned Reading, Black Prince, Siday,
Ontario, and Jack of Newbnrg, who are 100 well known
to require comment. My boar “ Marquis,” purchased
•from Mr. Bement, was pronounced by that gentleman
superior in point of form,to his celebrated boar “Rip
Van Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first
prize at the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural
Society, held at Syracuse in September last; I have
also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr. Be
ment, whose produce by Marquis, I shall have to dis
pose of this full. I have one pair of White Hogs, a
large English breed, imported direct front England, and
landed in Savannah in June last; and also a very su
perior Berkshire sow, imported direct, who will shortly
arrive.
Those who wish to ascertain the quality of my stock
are referred to a communication from Mr. Bement, in
the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the
portrait of Rui Van Winkle,in which he says : “Isent
last year to Mr. John Bonnet, of White Plains, Georgia,
several breeding sows, and no one, I assure you, has
been more rigidor particular to procure the pure blood,
and the best animals too. Applicants for pigs, in that
section, may depend on procuring from hint the real
‘ simeon pures.’ ” I deem it but justice to myself to
state, that at the Fair of the “ Planter’s Club,” of Han
cock County, held at Sparta, on the 6ih of December
Inst, the only prize awarded for a hoar, was given to
“ Black John,” n pig four months and twelve days old,
and weighing IC6 pounds that day. The above pig was
bred by myself and sold to Mr A. E W. Brown, near
Sparta, and was the only one of mv stock that was
present at the Fair.
It is necessary also to state that full and written ped
igrees, running back to the original stock imported
from England, will be given of every pig pur
chased from me, together with a certificate of age.
To the produce of the sow purchased from Mr. Lossing
I can give no pedigree on the mother’s side, not having
been able to procure one from him. 1 have been par
ticularly careful to obtain full and correct pedigrees, not
only for the purpose of procuring the best stock, but
because without them, no breeder can ascertain wheth
er or not he is really crossing his stock, which is ad
mitted by all to be very essential. I believe that 1 have
been at more trouble and greater expense, than any
other man in Georgia, in obtaining the very best hogs,
invariably ordering the best without limitation of price.
I have contracted for, and will receive this full, from
Mr. A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, New-York, a very superi
or young boar, the produce of his best importation of
last fall; so thut I shall constantly have n cross from
the best and most celebrated boars, both of this coun
try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen
uine breed are invited to call and view my stock, and
all who may order pigs are assured that they will re
ceive those that are not only full blooded, but pure as
imported. 1 freely challenge a comparison of my s'oek
with that of any other breeder of Berkshires in Geor
gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves
equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rate
I am perfectly willing that the character of my stock
should be either raised or sunk by the event of such a
comparison. Os this fact, however, the put,lie may
rest assured, that I am determined not to be surf as
sed, and if 1 do not have the best hogs, it will be be
cause money will not procure them. My Sows will
commence littering in July or August, after which time
I shall be pleased to furnish pigs to any who may favor
me with their orders. My price for pig 9is invariably
Twenty Dollars per pair; no pigs being offered for sale
that are not fully equal to those sold by other breeders.
The hospitality of my lipuse will be steely extended to
all who may pay me a visit, either with a view of pur
chasing pigs, or for the pleasure of viewing fine stock.
JOHN fiONNER.
P. 8. Orders for Pigs accompanied with the Cosh,

CERTIFICATE.
This Is to certify, that I purchased of Johnston &
Robson, of Madison, Georgia, six bottles of Houck’s
Panacea, which was administered to my wile who had
been lingering with Dyspepsia for 8 or 10 years, scarce
ly ever seeing a well day. She has received so much
benefit from its use that she firmly believes she would
have been in the grave had she not have taken it. She
is now in good health, for her age, being now about 60
yenraold. It has also benefitted my neighbors. Its use
will be very genernl in our County, when its virtues
are tested. It is mild and pleasant, and can be cheer
fully recommended by me as n very valuable Family
Medicine. JOHN FARGASON.
