FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER OU CHILLS AND FEVER, The proprietor of tft's celebrat and medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer ed to the public for the mt/e, certain xpttdy and per manent cure of Ague arid Fever .or Chill* and Fever whether of ghort or long standing. He refer* to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that In no case whatever will D fall to cure, If the directions are strict ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller doses for s week of two af ter the disease has been checked, more especially In difficult and long s'and ; ng cases. Usually, this tnedi cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having t 'ken three or four loses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL‘D VE IETA BLK FAM’I.Y PIuLS will be sufficient.

On the con trary they are uncertain iu the extreme. My object in writing you Is to find out upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If 1 can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. 1 ari aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings ami practice of a great majority of the reg ular l iie of M. D.'s, but I see do just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef ficient. simp'y because we may be ignorant of its com bination. For my part, I shall make It a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum mity which I may be able to command—not hesitating because someone more Ingenious than myself may have Jearn d its effects first., and secured the sole right to secure hat knowledge. How ever, lam by r.o mi ana an ad vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthies* nos trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.— Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since 1 was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general health is im paired, and I need something to assist nature. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in any thing else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige Capt, C, P. JOHNSON. St. Louis, Mo. P. S.—The following was written April 39,1565, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt Johnson. DR. BULL—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. 0. 8.

At thirteen year, of age he had •a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM.

PARROTT Qarterevillc, Aug. 4th. lm JI’ST LOU FI X. ‘W Imn I wnsquite a boy,’ snYsSmith .j ‘my fa 1 her ordered a coat for me from an old Lsrtu hte, nml when the garment 0,1 me home it v.r.s very much too large The perplexed Jew, after vainly trying , to gather up the ft loose in the back with Ins hand, so <hat the front might set tight, declared at length that the ‘coat WRs goot; it was no fm!t of tc eoat; te eo it. fit goot nongh, bat to poy was too slim!’ A short man became attached to a tall woman and somebody said he had fallen in love with her. Do you call it ■ falling in love?' said the suitor; ‘ith j more lixe climbirg up to it.’ r The latest undergraduate joke at Tide Cl l’.ege was the transfer, by mid n gl t of a Wor st’s sign—“New Heaven Nursery” to a conspicuous position on a young ladies’ seminary. My dear, do you know that your imsbaud told me last night that my cheeks were like roses ? Yes. love, I know he did. He spoke of it after ward, and said it was a pity they were j yellow roses. Why is an errand-boy like an old horse put up at auction? Because he’ll go for what lie’ll fetch. If brooks are, as poets call them, the most joyous things iu nature, what are they ‘murmuring’ about. If 3011 were to have a horse shod which had you rather pay five dollars for the job, or give one j>enny for the first nail, two for the next, and so on, doubling the amount each nail, allow ing thirty-two nails for the four feet? Try it .and see. ‘0 ! where do vort get that rid for your cheeks ?’ said a pale, wan young lady, to a bright laughing minx.— ‘Where the roses get theirt—in the air aud sunlight.,’was the quick rep 3’. A tx>3’ remarked to his mother, the other diiY - , that he never knew before that Mr.- * (who keeps a liquor sa loon), was a milliner. ‘Well, he isn’t,’ said the mother. ‘Yes, he is,’ said the boy, ‘for father went iu there last night to get a night cap !’ A shrewd but vmenlightend school director out West used to say, on ex amining a condidate for the post of teacher, ‘We all know that a, b, c, is vowels, but we want to know why they is vowels. Mr. Glnmm confesses to have got stuck once in his life. The other night in the dark he mistook his mucilage bottle for the hair-oil. His hair has since presented the appearance of whalebone —very much like bis wife’s corsets. The question, ‘Which wants most, man or woman ?’ was recently discuss ed in an up-town tyceum association. Nothing definite was settled, except that some of the debaters wanted brains. A not unfrequent infirmity of both sexes- The attempt to wash flannel with soapstone lias failed. The gentleman who started the idta is now teaching the weather-cocks to crow. The pub lic will watch his progress with some interest. Conundrum.— ‘Sain, why is your head like the moon ? ‘I don’t know, Jim. Give it up.’ 1 ‘Because, Sam, it is supposed by some to be inhabited.’ A city urchin hearing his father read an article in the paper in relation to a new invention of bricks of glass ex claimed, ‘Glass bricks—l know what them is.’ ‘What are they?’ inquired one of the family. ‘Tumblers of liquor,’ shouted the ju venile. Marrying a woman for her beauty is like eating a bird for its sweet sing ing. A backward spring is produced by presenting a red hot poker .at a man’s nose. Many young men are so indifferent that they cannot keep anything but late hours. Why is a proclamation like eipht drachms. Ans. —Because it an-oun ces. A writer describing one of the en gagements in the late wair gives the fol lowing interesting item: “In the bat tle we lost the brave Captain Smith.— A cannon ball took off his head. His last words were, ‘Bury me on the spot where I fall.’ ” An illiterate correspondent who is j given to sporting, wants to know when i the Anglo Saxon race, eo much talked j of is coming off. A traveler in Pennsylvania asked the landlord if they had any cases of sun stroke in that town. ‘No, sir,’ said the landlord; ‘if a man gets drunk here, we say lie is drunk and never call it by any other name.’ An old country game keeper and his wife once consulted the doctor of the parish as to the choice of a ‘biblename for their son and heir. The doctor suggested ‘Nimrod’ and that sugges tion was acted upon, Sometime after ward another son was born. This time the parents chose for themselves, and as a match to ‘Nimrod,’ actually selected ‘Ramrod!’ A dandy, at a hotel table, who wan ted the milk passed to him, thus asked for it: t ‘Please send your cow this way.’ To whom the landlady replied as follows: ‘Waiter, take the cow down to where the calf is bleating.’ Railroad Work. —Track laying has commenced on the Griffin end of the Savannah, Griffin & North Alabama Railroad, An Irishman was employed - to turn some fruit trees. He w< nt in the morn ing, nnd on returning rr 10 n was ask ed if he had comp leted his wo k. ‘No. was the reply: ‘but I hue cit t’um all do An, and am going to trim them in the afternoon.’ The pleasantest hu bnndrv is tin destroying of wet d.s—widow’s weeds. A h’gh officer of the Sons of Temper ance. presenting himself with thermel of grog he had been dri; king upon him, at the door of a “Division” for admission, was waited iq on by an Irish sentinel, to whom he gave the 1 password when the following passed: ‘ Sir,” said he, “an ycr are Mistei O’Wlight, the Grand Worthy Patri arch of the State of Khaiutucky, I do be afther belavin.” “Yes,” said Jim, “you are perfectly right m3’ friend; but wny do you ask the question V” “To tell yez the truth, then, sir. and shame the devil,” said Pat, “3’ezdo be bavin the right password for a Son of Temperance, entirely; but by the Holy Virgin and tlio blessed Saint Pather ick, yez got the wrong smell.” School Examination. —“John, how do you parse grandmother V” “I does- j n’t pass her at all, but always goes in ; to get a tart.’ ‘What is the singular of man ?’ ‘They is singular when they pay their debts without being asked to do it a dozen times.’ ‘Y >uug wom en are beautiful. ‘What is it that comes l.f er yc-ung women ?’ ‘lt’s t lie fellers to be sure—limy are always af ter the young women.’ ‘That will do; now you are dismissed.’ A shabb3’-genteel young man enter ed a tradesman’s store the other day w ith his hands crammed in both pock ets, as if they were flush w ith rhino. — ‘.Mr. J.,’ said he, ‘I believe I am indebl e 1 to you sixt3 r two and a half cents, cash, borrowed somewhat about a 3 e r ago.’ ‘Yes, sir,’replied the trade man, smacking his lips and holding out his hands to receive the read3' cash. T am glad you have come, for I had al most forgotten it myself.’ ‘O ! 11 ever forget these things,’said the fellow; I like to have all things square; so I want you to lend me thirty-seven and a half cents more, which w ill make it eveu money. The art uv becoming uv importance in the eyes uv others, iz not tew over rate onrselfs, but tew ciuse them tew do it. Flattery is like kolone water—to be smelt uv, not swallowed. Living on hope izlike living on wind —a good way tew git phul, but a poor w r a) r tew git phat. Man3 r people spend the heft uv then time trying to find the hole where sin got into this wo v lth If two men break through the ice into a mill-pt ml, they had better hunt for some hole tew git out, rather than git into a long argu ment about the hole they cum tew fall in. In the Common Council of Janes ville the question of ordinances relat ing to dogs was under discussion, when the records were referred to, and one was found tc rend: All dogs to be muzzled or shod, ex crjjf dog*from the country, coming in on bmine**. A young mamma on the important occasion of making her son his first pair of breeches, conceived the idea that it would be more economical to make them of the same din elisions behind and before, so that they might be changed about and wear evenly.— Their effect when donned by the'little fellow were ridiculous. Papa, at first sight of the b»ggy garment burst into a roar of laughter and exclaimed, ‘Oh, my dear, how could you have had the heart to do it?

An old lady living near the quarry in Lee, Mass., picked up nil egg the other day on the ground frequented by ducks, took it home and boiled it for her son’s dinner.
