Editors Telegraph: Tho writer's attention has
lately been called to an article in the Augusta
Constitutionalist, of August 1st, in ■which his
communication to tho Macon Tzi.EOp.APn,
signed “B.," is copied and commented upon.
To these comments tho writer desires to reply
through your columns. Tho Constitutionalist
devotes over a column to tho “Mississippi con
tested election case,” cited in tho writer’s
former communication, to show that it is not a
P rc ' 1 dm t. To do this, it claims that Messrs.
Gholson and Claiborne wero elected for the
ortra fusion alone, and “that the great ques
tion whether thoy were entitled to hold their
scats by virtue of that election, to held during the
whole of the Twenty-Fifth Congress, teas not
adjudicated.
In reply to this, attention is called to the fol
lowing extracts from the “Report of tho Com
mittee on Elections” in this case. (Italics by tho
writer):
“In tho courso of tho scrutiny and investiga
tion, the attention of tho committee has been
called to two points, which nro supposed to com
prehend tho only possible objections to tho re
tention of their seats by the sitting members.
Tho first point is that clauso of tho writ issued
by tho Governor, wherein tho election is direct
ed to be held for two Representatives in Con
gress to fill the vacancy, until superceded by
the members elected at the next regular election
on the first Monday and day following in No
vember next. Tho committee are (with one ex
ception) of opinion that in attempting to restrict
tho term of service of members to bo elected at
the special election, ordered as before stated,
till tho next regnlar election in November, tho
Governor transcended his powers. The gentle
men Heeled are members for the whole unexpired
term of the Twenty-fifth Congress, or they are
not members at all Tho question then-recurs
—did that illegal and restneting clauso in the
writ invalidate tho election? The committee
were almost unanimous in the opinion, that inas
much as the writ was perfect in itsdf without that
clause, its being there does not invalidate the elec
tion held under it, but may fairly be rejected
as surplussage ; reject this as surplussoge, then
the writ is good and the objection amounts to
nothing.
But the Rccond objection, which would seem
to bo more formidable, involves tho question
whother in tho purview nnd meaning of tho Con
stitution such vacancy in tho representation of
• tho Stato had happened an would justify theGov-
ornor in authorizing a special election to fill it.
On this qncstion tho committee wero divided. A
jnajority of them were of the opinion that a vacan
cy existed and such a vacancy as was pregnant
with all the evils which could arise from a vacan
cy happening in any other manner; and as tho
words of tho Constitution aro brood enough to
embrace tho existing case, there is no good rea
son why, in giving them a practical construc
tion, thoy should not bo considered applicable
ns affording n remedy in this caso as well as
those arising from death or resignation.
Tho woTd “happen” made nse of in the Con
stitution is not necessarily confined to fortuitous
or unforsoen events, but is equally applicable to
all events, which by any means occur or como to
pass, whether foreseen or not; and ns in this
case confessedly tho vacancy existed, it may
properly bo said to have happened although tho
means or circumstances by which it was brought
about may have been foreseen. With these
views fortified by many others which might be
advanced, a majority of tho committeo have
ngreed on tho following resolutions and instruct
ed thoir chairman to report tho some to tho
House:
“Resolved, ThatSomnelJ. Gholson and John
F. H. Claiborne, are duly eleoted members of
tho Twenty-fifth Congress, and as such entitled
to thoir seats.”
The House reforred this subject to tho Com
mittee on Elections, with tho instructions con
tained in tho following resolution:
“Rosolved, That tho Committee on Elections
lie instructed to report upon tho certificates of
election of Messrs. Claibomo nnd Gholson, tho
memliers elect from Mississippi, whether they
nro mombors of tho Twenty-fifth Congress or
not; and that said committeo tako into their
consideration the proclamation of His Excel
lency, Chnrles Lynch, Governor of said State,
nnd the writ of election issued in accordance
with said proclamation on the 13th day of June,
1837; and also the act of tho Legislature of
Mississippi entitlod, nn “ Act to regulate elec
tions, approved March 2, 1833."
From the foregoing and the extracts from tho
roport, the committeo, it seems were of opinion
nnd reported that a vacancy existed; that tho
Executive of tho State had the power to order an
• election to fill such vacancy; that he did order
nn election for this purpose ; that tho clauso in
tho writ ordering such election, restricting tho
term to the extra session alone were void—a nul
lity ; and consequently the election would be for
the whole unexoireil term, nnd that Messrs.
Gholson and Claiborne hating le ;i duly elected,
were membersforthe whole unexpired term of the
Iwentjt-fifth Congress. Tho House approved
the report of, and adopted tho resolution report
ed by, tho Committeo of Elections, with tho be
lief that Messrs. Gholson nnd Claibomo “were du
ly elected membors”/or the while unexpired term
This is evident both from the terms of the reso
lution itself, and tho whole action of tho House
upon this question. It will be seen'that tho reso
lution declares them “duly elected members of
the Twenty-fifth Congress.” Now if the House
intended to declare these gentlemen members
for tho extra session alone, why did it use words
of tho same import as those which have always
been used to declare members elected for tho
■ whole torm? The Constitutionalist bases its
k whole argument against this, npon Mr. John
Quincy Adams’ speech against tho resolution.
' Tho speeches of Messrs. Pennybackcr, Le.
gare and Underwood seem to have been over
looked. Mr. Pennybncker says it seems to him
from tho state of tho facts given and the literal
meaning of words that it was self-evident that
such a vacancy had happened in this caso ns
was contemplated by the constitution. Mr.
Legare argued that if Messrs. Gholson and Clai
borne icere elected at all they were fleeted mem
bers for the ensuingtwo years. Mr. Underwood
said the election had been conducted in strict ac
cordance with law, and that Messrs. Gholson and
Claibomo were duly elected. Tho time of their
election had not yet expired, and if theyhadbeen
permitted to retain their seats to this period, in
that view of tho case ho would confess that if
tho objection was urged he would be puzzled to
set it aside.
Again, tho whole action of the House npon
this question shows conclusively that it adopted
the resolution of October 3d “with tho view and
understanding” that Messrs. Gholson and Clai
borne were thereby declared “duly elected mem
bers” for the whole of the unexpired term. This
is established beyond controversy by the several
'■+ resolutions of tho House concerning this case.
Tho resolution referring the ease to the Com
mittee of Elections instructs the Committee to
raport “whether they aro members of the 2.1th
Congress or not.” . .
The Committee reported that in the opinion
of a majority thereof, these gentlemen wero July
elected members of the 2.1th Congress, and enti
tled to their seats as snch, which resolution the
House adopted on the 3d of October. The re
solution of February 3th, whereby these gentle-
men were unseated is as follows :
‘‘Resolved, That tlio resolution of this House
of the 3d of October last declaring that Samuel
J. Gholson and John F. H. Claiborne were duly
elected members of tho Twenty-fifth Congress
bo rescinded, and that Messrs. Gholson and
Claiborne are not duly elected members of the
Twenty-fifty Congress.”
f TJii* resolution distinctly and fully rescind*
the resolution of October 3rd, declaring Messrs.
Gholson and Claiborne duly elected, and there

same House at a peeyiocb session or the same
°n Tn ?“ GnTS 0F *embebs to seats.
Vi ill the Constitutionalist reconcile the forego
ing with its extra session alone'’ doctrines ?
4V.f\r at *fntion to “B.’s” error in stating
Uiat Messrs. Prentiss and Word were the only
Congressional candidates at the November elec-
votes polled for Messrs.
Gholson and Claiborne as evidence that thev
were candidates. Messrs. Gholson and Claibomo
issued a circular to their constituents, saying
that as they had been seated for the whole term
by the resolution of October 3d. they were not
consulates for re-deetion at tho November elec-
tion.
This was published, Mr. Gholson says, in at
least all the Democratic papers in the State :
and furthermore, he says he wrote at least a
hundred letters to their friends in different
parts of the State, telling them they were not
candidates.
In many counties they received no votes at
the November election, although they had ma
jorities at the July election—showing conclu
sively that there was no general tum-ont at the
November election. These statements arc all
corroborated by the speeches and documents
relating to this question. .The writer's state
ment that Messrs. Prentiss and Word “received
less than half the totes polled at that election* 1 is
substantiated by the official reports of tho elec
tion in the second report of tho Committee on
Elections.

Tho Constitutionalist cites the case of Wilkes
and Luttrell, a controverted election cose in the
Houso of Commons in 1770, in support of its
doctrino that the Legislature cannot “reopen”
tho question of eligibility, in tho caso of tho ex
pelled negro members.
In the House of Lords this case was brought
np, and it was moved “that this House wonld
take into consideration tho proceedings of tho
House of Commons, touching tho incapacity of
John Wilkes, Esq., whereby tho electors of
Middlesex were deprived of their freo choice of
a representative." Lord Mansfield, in the
course of his remarks upon tho motion, said:
“I* avoid entering into tho merits of tho lato
election, from a conviction that your Lordships
have no rigid to inquire into them." See Lord
Campbell's Lives of tho Chief Justices of Eng
land—volume 2, page 359 of tho second Ameri
can edition.
If tho Constitutionalist cites this caso to show
that no appeal lies from the decision of tho
Houso of Representatives in a contested elec
tion caso, to tho Senate or the Supreme Court,
thon it is a very good, if not an authoralivo pre
cedent. But if is not a precedent in this ease,
for the point in controversy is, “ha* the Legisla
ture (each Tlouse respectively) the power to reseat
the expelled negro members." Neither House can
call in question the action of tho other with ro-
ftnrd to this subject,for, by tho Constitution, ‘ ‘each
House shall be the judge of the election return*
and qualification* of its own members"—a rule
so plain nnd so iroperativo that tho precedent
cited by tho Constitutionalist is quito unneces
sary.
In conclusion, tho writer wishes to call tho at
tention of tho Constitutionalist to the principal
points of his former communication (which it
publishes) which aro repeated below in tho form
of interrogations.
1. Has not tho Legislature the power to reg
ulate “tho rules of its proceedings” in contested
election coses ?
2. Has tho Legislature adopted the rule of
“res judicata" as a part of its code of proceed-
uro in contested election oases?
3. If not, then by what rule of parliamentary
or fundamental la w is tho rule of “res judicata"
rendered applicable to, and binding upon legis
lative action ?
4. If tho rule of “res judicata’’ is not binding
npon legislative action by reason of adoption or
otherwise, has not tho Legislature tho power to
reseat these expelled members ?
5. It it has tho power is it not the duty of tho
Legislature, under all tho circumstances of this
caso, to reseat them ?
A truthful and comprehensive reply to these
mints will materially assist tho peoplo in form-
ng correct conclusions npon this vexed ques
tion. B.

What shall bo dono with tho Chinese ? asks
tho Cincinnati Enquirer. That is a question
tho solution of which is more puzzling than any
that has yet been beforo the Radical party.
Some say ono thing, othors tho very reverse.
Tho black men seo the danger, and protest
against being supplanted by tho yellow men.
Tho Radicals feel their feebleness without tho
negro voto. It will hardly do to say that tho
United States are no longer a refugo for tho
oppressed of every dime. Nor will it do to
pass laws forbidding tho Chinese to como
among us; for one of tho clauses of tho indict
ment ngainst George tho Third—to be found in
that instrument npon which tho Radicals base
tho political and social equality of tho races,
was, that he refused to pass laws to encourago
tho migration of foreigners to tho States. Tho
Eastern manufacturers want cheaper labor than
they now havo, but are unwilling that the West
ern farmers nnd mechanics shall havo cheaper
tools through a lower tariff. Some of tho loy

don’t like to con^nt to an irruption of Pagans
among us, fearful that tho Christian religion
couldn’t stand tho shock. Others, equally as
pious, look upon tho whole matter as one of
God’s providences for tho conversion of tho
Pagans to the true faith. Ben Wade thinks tho
Celestials should bo treated ns well as tho Butch
and Irish, against* whom he seems to harbor
spite. E. D. M., of tho Gazette, confesses his
inability to see through tho Chinese millstone.
Grant—well, give Grant a good cigar and a fast
horse, and tho Chinese may go to-—the grave
yard, for what ho cares. On the whole, Uio
Chinese problem is a puzzler; but wo think
there is a good deal of needless borrowing of
trouble on the subject.

eath the gigantic wheels of progre:S and human
development. Change is written with the iron finger
of time, upon ail matter, seen and unseen, material
and spiritual. The mighty, omnipotent power that
fashioned the stupendous orbs that revolve in the
ity of space, created ait things in wisdom and
purity. The majestic ocean, the deep blue seo. the
beautiful earth and all things therein contained were
planned and created by virtue of that universal law
of harmony, whose power holds sway over all. In
to is manifested in all created things, both
great and small—the tiny in.ret, the beautiful butter
fly, and God-like man, are each endowed according
to their kind, with that instinct or intelligence or
dained by Him who "doeth all things well.”
Wisdom, justice and love are the three great stand
ard-bearers whose sumptuous hands mete out to each
individuality the measure of Divine, universal law,
designed by that mighty Mind who fashioned alike
noble man in his own image and all lesser created
things. The beauties and wonder* of nature never
cease to the progressive human mind. Eternal pro
gress is written with the nnerring finger of Deity uron
all. The themo of human life is laden with sweet in
cense to all who, like angels of mercy and goodness,
are ever busy, ever ready to deviso means for the
alleviation of human woe and the prol.ngation of
life. The oneeasiog march of individual and national
progro’s is alone due to the bold and fearless thinkers
and actors npon the stage of mundane life. The stern
exigencies that confront aid imperil the gigantic
minds of all countries cannot awe or swerve them in
the path of duty and power. Disease and death now

In Harper's Monthly Magaiin* for February. 1868,
ntayhe found a life of Prof R. Leonidas Hamilton,
M. D., whoso discoveries in reference to
LIVER. LUNG AND BLOOD DISEASES
are now attracting the attention of the whole medical
world, and whose success is carrying joy and restored
health to thousands.
His well-attested cases of liver diseases Ions dis-
laes. blood di/eases and diseases of the kidaey, blad
der. rpine, stomach and other organs, an now well
known all over the United Hate* and Canada, the
nest Indies, Europe, Mexico, Sandwich Idnnd* and
in many of the commercial and missionary settle
ments in every part of the world.
Forth# benefit of the siek who may wish to know
positively when they have derangements c i the Liver
of more or less severity, a combination of the usual
symptoms fonnd in inch csss* will po found below:
SYMPTOMS OF LIVER COMPLAINT.
A sallow or yellow color of the akin, or yellowish
brown spots on the face and other parts of the body;
dullness and drowsiness, with frequent headacbe; bit
ter or bad taste in the month, dryness of the throat,
and internal beat; palpitation of the heart; in many
cases a dry. teasing congb. withioar throat: unsteady
appetite; sour stomach, with a rising of the food ani
e.uking sensation in the throat; liekeeM and vomit
ing: distress. heaviness, or a bloated or full feeling
about the stomaeh and sides, which is often attended
with pains and tenderness: aggravating pains in the
Side*, back, or breasts, and abont the shoulders; colic
pain and soreness through thebowels, with heat; con
stipation «f the bowels, alternating with frequent at
tic kg of diarrhea: piles, flatulence, nervousness, cold
ness of tho extremities; rash of blood to the head,
with symptom of apoplexy; numbness of the limbs,
especially at night; cold chills, alternately with hot
flashes, with dullness, low spirits, unsoeiability, and
gloomy forebodings and with ladles, female weakne'
and irregularities.
DISEASES CAUSED BY LIVER COMPLAINT.
The Human System, the most perfect of ell the
work* of the Creator, is so constituted that, to be en
tirely healthy, it most throw oil the waste, wera-out.
and poisonous materials as fast aa it take* on new
materials from onr food and drink. The.fond is as
similated and made Into conrishingandhealtby blood,
principally through the oOeesof the stomach, liver
and lungs. Thu worn-out materials are mostly ex
creted by the liver, lungs and kidneys; but all medi
cal men bav* heretofore failed to recognise the vast
importance of the liver as a blood-purifying and ex
creting organ. The most learned German physiolo
gists. who base their assertions upon actual experi
ments only, statu that the amount of aiLg which
should be manufactured by the liver and poured into
tbs intestines each day is two and one half pounds.—
All persons interested to know this fact, and the ex
periments to prove it, may consult I'mlosieenrjti
end MqffirreAee/, Lelpsir. 1852, or they may see a resume
of these facts in P of Dalton’s Phytioloty.
Remember one thing more: The bile is something
more than the natural physic of the bowels, as has
heretofore been Ibongbt by eminent medieal men.—
The bile Is mostly made up of the waste matter of the
blood—effete, worn-out and injurious material.-'. If
the livsrdoes not make this bile and pour it into the
ioteaiiursdaily.it remains in the blood aa a poison.
It poisons the blood itself. ar.deircul.ite.. as irritating
and poisonous matter in tho blood, to every organ in
The blood, roisoned with the daily accumulated ex
cess of bile returns from the liver to the hrart, and the
nervea of th* heart are affected, and we have an op
pressed feeling at the heart and palpitation; and if
thiaeaaie is long continued, wa get a chronic Irri’a-
tion, undue excitement, and morbid nutrition of the
heart, developing many forms of Heart Disease.
Jnst so with the Lungs. The bile-poisoned blood
goes from the upper and right cavity of the heart to
the lower cavity, and thence directly to the lungs, cir
culating all through those most delicate organa. The
long tisane* ar* poisoned and irritated, and they in
vite the scr.fulous humors of the Mood bceauso they
are tha- irritated. Hence Consumption, which h lo
cal scrofula, so defined and proved by L.ovl and all
esl scrofula, so defined and proved Dy iAigof and ail
the most seientifle authors. The lungs try tooxygeniie
and purify the bload, and they do it in a treat meas
ure : bnt they are overworked and irritated, and yen
smell the blood-poison matter in the man’s font breath.
Catarrh. Bronchitis. Asthma. N ervous Cough and Con
sumption itself, are the resalt*- If the Livsr had
done itsduty—made and excreted that bilu—the lungs
would not have been diseased.
Jnst so with the Blood itself. It gnes from the
lungs back to tho upper left Cavity of theheart. thence
to tho lower cavity, and thence through the arteries
and ctniHaricsto every organ and tissue of the sys
tem. Among the most important of those organs are
the kidneys, furnishing the urinary secretion a most
important excretion, fiot tho kidney*, themselves,
are irritated and congested by the presence of the bile-
poisoned blood, and they become diseased. Every
person who has had a liver-disease knows that the
urine is sqanty. high colored, and loaded with red de
posit*. at time*, or other diseased products. Hence,
disease* not only of the kidneys, but misoof the bladder-
But this is not all—fir from it. The poisonous blood
toes to the Buain, and effect* the great electrical cen
tre of nil vitality; and the brain, stimnlated by un
healthy blood, cannot perform its office healthfully —
The person has dullness, headache, ineapacit) to keep
his mind on usuhjeet, cannot remember, has a crowd
ed and diisy feeling, is sleepy, become* nervous
gloomy, easily irritate.!, and often has a bilious or
neuralgic, headache.
And the biood itself beromes diseased, as it forms
the sweat upon the surface of tho skin, it is so irrita
ting and poisonous that the person baa discolored
brows spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions,
sores, boils, carbuncles, and other scrofula tumors.
Disease of the Lit*# itself is the most common o:'
all diseases. The anddeo chances of the New Ee gland
. climate, the malariat influence cf the West, and the
^ heat also of the t-onth, r.s well as the dietetic habits of
the people of this country, and other causes, all tend
to develop the Liver disease, in some ot the varied
forms, throughout the United States. This is true of
both man and beast, as every batcher knows that he
finds the livers of cattle, sheep, and swine diseased
ten tiara where he finds any other organ diseased
ptisrs, ttnmlhVwhole conmry seems nothing W K5
but caterpillars. When we walk around town,
wo find farmers from tho country sitting or
standing with long faces, talking about caterpil
lars. nnd all agreo that tho truth can no longer
bo disguised. Tho insect curse has arrived and
already swarm in tho cotton fields. The weather
too, has changed from dry hot, to cool, cloudy
and showery weather, as if to afford them facil
ity. The heavy showers have lately been so
frequent that the cotton stalks are casting their
frnit, so that, between the heavy showers, rust
and caterpillars, the “fine prospect is likely to
be blighted.
Lot the farmers remember, when the plant
ing season returns ngain, that they havo been
assailed with all these vicissitudes for three
years in the cultivation of cottoD, and learn that
corn, bacon, rice, sugar cane, peas, potatoes,
etc., aro liable to none of these dangers and
cultivated with much less labor and expense.
Theittx Colo bed Men.—Wo are ever anxious
to hold np for the emulation of their race the
example of thrifty and industrious colored men.
A case of this character came to onr knowledge
vestorday, says tho Augusta Constitutionalist of
Friday. Six colored men. engaged on the plan
tation of Mr. Joshua Ely, in Burke county,
came to this city, and, backed by this gentleman,
drew money enough on their fine prospective
crop, from one of our cotton factors, to pur
chase from Messrs. 'Wyman &> May six new
buggies, with all appurtenances, one of them a
two-horse vehicle. To these vehicles they each
hitched their own mule, animals which evi
denced, by their sleek appearance, the faithful
care they received, and drove from the city, an
illnstration of what industry, good-behavior and
thrift will accomplish for the colored as well as
the white man. Here is an example worthy of
imitation by the many idle and misguided col
ored men who congregate around the towns
and cities, living from hand to mouth.
An ingenious man in Illinois has patented a
self-acting water elevator. It is about the size
of a quart-cup, bnt will raise thirty gallons of
water from a well or cistern in an hour, and, by
the use of the necessary piping, will lead it all
over the house. In old times water would not
run up hill.
congestion of tbc Liver and torpidity of its function,
or this may result in rome structural or organic affec
tion. But the Liver can never be diseased without
affecting the stomach, bowels, and the other organs
we have spoken of, and costiveness, piles, dropsy,
diarrhea and impoverished blood are among the ne
cessary results.
CHRONIC DISEASES.
Prof. HAMILTON will also inform the afflicted^
that having been written to by thousands of patients,
his office has become the great est center for the treat
ment of novel, interesting and peculiar cases of any
place in the world. No hospital in Europe or Ameri-
.ca has one-tenth the number cf singular and remark
able eases as are presented, either personally or by
letter, at No. 516 Broadway. It is. indeed, an Empo
rium of Clinical Medicihe. Among the thousands
of cases arising from diseases of the Liver. Lungs, and
Blood, which he treats, the lollowing receive a promi
nent and most suceeeMul attention : Sick and Bili
ous Headache. Nervous and Neuralgic Headache.
Chronic Diarrhea and Dysentery, Costiven^w and
Piles. Pimples, Eruption* and Brown Sk*n. Dropsy
and Diseases of the Kidneys. Consumption of the
Blood. Scrofula in all its forms. Spinal Irritation, Salt
Rheum, and Erysipelas. Caccc'S. Asthma, Epileptic

the astonishing success in your treatment of my case
For nearly three years I have suffered from Catarrh,
Nervous Rheumatism. Liver Complaint, and extreme
^ervous Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, and extreme
Nervousness, insomuch that life had become an in
tolerable burden, and death was looked for as my
nly release: physically and mentally broken down,
was utterly unable to do the duties of a minister,
and was preparing to retire from the ranks, when
providentially my eyes fell on your advertisement in
the New York Methodist. I had already traveled far
and expended so much in the vain effort to secure a
cure that it was with great reluctance and little here
that I addressed you. Your reply inspired me with
hope—your remedies were received and takeu. and
the result was as marvelous to those who knew my
condition as it was gratifying to myself. In three
weeks I was again in the pulpit preaching with un
usual vigor, ami if my services are of any value to
the^ Church, it is indebted to you, under God, for
their continuance. You may refer to me at any time,
and I shall be ever pleased to bear testimony to your
extraordinary skill.

TO THK AFFLICTED EVERYWHERE.
During my labors in publishing and editing a news
paper for many years in this city, and also in the per
formance of my duties asa clergyman in this and other
cities. I have become thoroughly and intimately ac
quainted wi h R. Leonidas Hamilton. M. D., the just
ly celebrated Liver, LungandBIood Physician of this
city, who is located at No. 546 Broadway. The doctor
was for many years a regular practicing pbyiician, and
also for somo jeers a professor in one of our best medi
cal schools, and daring such extensivo experience, he
fully re allied the inadequacy of tho ordinary treat
ment made use of in all chronic diseases, more espe
cially that dascof trouble arising from deranged func
tions of the Liver and digestive organs. He at once set
himself about the study of th» class of diseases, deter
mined to makethem a specialty. Laying the vegetable
world under tribute.be has made discoveries and com
pounded specifies on round philosophical principles
which have made the mo*t wonderful cures in the an
nals of medicine. Liver. Blood. Lung and Nervous dis
eases are now virtually under his control, and yield to
tho mafic, subtle power of bis remedies, l have myself
seen numbers of those who have been saved from the
hand ofdgath by his power, when the unfortunate
sufferers seemed doomed to an early grave, and all
other treatment was of no avail. In addition to what
I can vouch for .personally, I havo ample evidence
from other clergymen, physician; and eminent men of
the highest character, who have also been raved by
this wonderful treatment, and who rpeak in the high
est praise and gratitude of Dr. Hamilton as a physi
cian and gentleman of honor and integrity. It is bu:
simply stating the positive truth when I say that it is
well known throughout this country that where his
works are known and the faults of his skill have been
witnessed, he ts highly esteemed by the people as tho
most eminent and remarkable physician in tho treat
ment of ohronic diseases, of the age. As the result oi
a long personal and familiar acquaintance with Prof.
Hamilton and Lis unparalleled success asa profes
sional man of the highest order, I frankly express the
hope that diseased humanity in every part of our laud
may avail themselves of his most remarkable skill,
ana thu s share the noble blessings so kindly and freely
bestowed upon all.
Most respectfully, Ret. W. B. JACOBS.

me more good than others? But.sir. justice and grat

A HARD CASE1
SriNE. KIDNEYS, LITER AND BLADDER DISEASED.
”Dr. Hamilton ? My best friend and Brother—You
have saved my life! This is not only certain to my
own apprehension, but all my personal friends who
have known my sufferings so long and so well, join in
this opinion. From a spinal disease I have suffered
for years what no ‘ongue can tell. Besides this dis
ease, I have been afflicted with aggravated affections
of the liver and spleen: ard my kidneys and bladder
have oecn so diseased that other physicians have
tried their skill la vain. I have laid in hospitals for
months, and I have again and again consulted the most
eminent physicians and surgeons in Boston. Now Y or k.
Charleston. Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities, with
out regard to expense. They were znen of learning
and great reputation, but in all honesty I must say
they did me no good. After trying thoroughly their
skill, they have nad to acknowledge my case as com
plicated and hopeless—* incurable’ as they have
termed it. In nine weeks you hare cured me—made
me a new man. I had no hope nor bad my friends:
but I am now right; I am well; and rejoice that,after
eighteen years of suffering, I know what it is to enjoy
the blessed, joyous fcellar of health. vigor. life, free
dom from pain, and with the power to work, think
and enjoy myself. Iofferyon this testimonial gladly:
I hope it will lead hundreds to you. I know that
whereof I here testify; andl shall ever take the great

“1 return my sincere thanks for having permanent

with!pther doctors and tried all tho patent medicines
that I conld get, with no avail, and wa3 so bad that I
could hardly get out of my house, and part of the
time not able to get out of my bed, as I was affected
in nearly every joint, I thought I would try you as a
last resort. To my great joy in less than t&rec weeks
I was able to go out and jump with tho most active
man in the place. In one month I was perfectly
cured, and had gained seventeen pounds; and I never
had better health in my life than I have erjoyed for
the last six months. May God bless you and your

To Prof. R. L. Hamilton—Dear Doctor—It was be
tween six and seven years I was afflicted with that
dire malady tho Asthma, and after employing the best
medical skill in the country and taking all the patent
medicines recommeded. without avail or any perma
nent relieff I began to think there was no cure for it
but noticing an advertisement of yours in one of th
New York papers, it was with the greatest reluctance
I wrote you, as I then expected it would not_ benefit
m© and would be worse than useless. In this I # was
ereatly disappointed, as I had not taken the medicine
more than two weeks before I was able to do light
work on the larm. Before this, I conld not attend to
any business, being completely prostrated, and after
taking two packages considered myself perfectly
cured and my health fully re-established, the bron
chial difflculties and all bad symptoms being entirely
removed. All this is attributable to your unrivalled
medicine, under the Divine .sanction, which I trus
with me, will ever bo remembered with gratitude. _

Buckhart, III.
Db. Hamilton.—My wife was afflicted with fits for
ten years, attended with great spinal and nervous de
bility. She doctored with several physicians, but all
to no purpose. I read one cf your circulars and was
so improved with year new and simple theory of
disease that I determined to try your remedies. Ev
ery one in the neighborhood cried “humbug;” but,
thank God, failed to dissuade us from our purpose.
As you know, we sent for some of your remedies,
which, with the help oi God, have completely^ and
e rmanently cured her. She has not had a fit since:
r back is strong, and her nervous vitality and
strength have returned. As every attack she had
was severer than the one previous, it is reasonable to
suppoee she could not havo lived long but for tho
timely interference of your wonderful skill. To God
be the praise; for so speedily and miraculously havo
your remedies worked that I can but recognise you
as an instrument of Divine power in rescuing my dear

Mr. John Lewis, of ZoUarsville, Washington Coun

" The medicine yon sent me last spring acted like a

her bed for nearly a year) that laid not think she
eould ever recover, bhe commenced the aseof your
medicines, and. to my surprise, began to improve the
first week, and has steadily gained until the present
time. She is now able to attend to her household
duties, and I deem her permanently cured. She is
lively and cheerful, and feels that yonr remedies
should find a place in every Southern house. I am
also happy to add that your treatment for rheumatism
in my own case has been equally as satisfactory. Be
fore using your medicine I bad been subject to severe
attacks for four years, and having tried all the dif
ferent Pain Killers. Liniments, etc., despaired of
being cured.
The nee of your medicine promptly, and I believe
permanently, cured me. You can, if you please,

in my power, in this humbug age, to extend the prac

he claims. I am well known here, as is also what
you have done for me, and have already induced sev

I do not claim to CUBE all cases, for.all reasonable

these grave cases the true physician can do much to
soothe the pathway to the grave, and thu3 correspond

All sick persons must remember that if they wish to
