ourselves still more energetically to the

At any rate, such shall be onr endeavor,
we Intend to deserve it if we do not at
tain the highest success. All this may be
set down by our rivals, as a sort of self-
praise, which is proverbially considered
half-scandal. It is easy, they may say,
for a firm to set itself np as a pattern and
modal unapproachable, possessing merits
not attainable by any other. It is this
criticism and comparison we invite, for
we are fully aware that a discriminating
public soon discovers the true from the
false, and detects sham pretensiobs. We

disposed negroes concluded they would
try and see if tbe civil rights bill could be
made to apply to bar-rooms and billiard
saloons. They accordingly visited every
bar and billiard room in the city, and de
manded drinks, and to be allowed to
play billiards. The negroes were mu
lattoes, and several of them barbers of
the city. They went around in pairs, and
thus made a thorough circuit of the city.

Cough is a symptom bv which various

selves. But whother it arise® from the
irritation produced in tbe throat and lar-
: by taxing cold, from an attack oi

will allay it more speedily or cure it more
permanently than Dr. Pierce’s Golden

whether it be a recent attack, or a linger

case equally well adapted for its relief
and permanent core. In fact, it will

Boon to Soaring Females
LaGranok, Ga., March 29, 1870.
Bradfidd & Co. t Atlanta, Ga.—Dear
Sir*:—I take pleasure in stating that 1
have used for the last twenty years tbe
medicine you are putting np, known as
Dr. Bradfiel<Ts Female Regulator, and
consider it the best combination ever got
together for the diseases for which it ia
recommended. I have been familiar
with the preparation both as a practioner
of medicine aud in domestic practice,
and can honestly say that I consider it a
boon to suffering females, and can but
hope that every lady in onr land, who
may be suffering in any way peculiar to
their sex, may be able to procure a bot
tie, and their sufferings may not only be
relieved, but they may be restored to
health aud strength.
With my kindest regards,
I am respectfully.
