DR. JOHN BULL'S
CJreat Remedies
SMITH'S TflNiO STROP!
FOR TIIE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrat 'd medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the naff., certain epeedy and jier
manent cure of Ague and Fever .or Chills and Fever
whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the "ssertion, that in no ca«e
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and cauiedout. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for & 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 a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially In
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
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
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULTVd VEGFTA
BLK FAM’LY PInLS will be sufficient.

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
To my United States and World-wide Read
ers;
I HAVE received many testimonials from profes
sional and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
The following from a highly educated and popular
plip.sici.nn in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible communications I have ever received. Dr. Olein
ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo
ny deserves to be written in letters of gold Hear

DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir:—l have recentlv giv

wonderiully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
Instance, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its elTects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam
aware that the U3e of such articles is contrary to the i
teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg
ular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good i
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to beef- I
ficient. simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. For my part, 1 shall make it a rule to use all
and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which '
I may be able to command—not hesitating because I
someone more ingenious than myself uiay have learn- I
and its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure

Benton Barracks, Mo., April 80, 1866.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounded about two years ago—was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. 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 89,1865, by
Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt Johnson.
DK. BULL —Dear Sir* My husband, Dr. C. S. John
son, was a skillful Surgeon and physician in Central
New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P.
Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he had
a chronic diarrhoea and gcrofula, for which I gave
liirn your Sarsaparilla. IT CURPID HIM. I have for
ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures effect
ed in some cases oj scrofula and fever sores were
almost miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to
again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is fear
ful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he
will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON.

A story is tol l of a young man who
was going West to gopen a jewelry
store. When asked what capital he
bad, he replied : t; A crow-bar.”
General Jeckson sometimes said a
good thing. The following is recorded
of him :
“I never fought but one duel in my
life, and that was when I popped the
question.’^
“Tom,” said a girl to her sweet*
heart, “you have been paying your dis*
tresses to me long enough. It is time
you made known your contentions, so
as not to keep rue in expense any lon
ger.”
Exactly.—“ Clem," cried two dispu
ting dalkies, appealing for decision to
a sable umpire, “which word is rigktt
—dizactly or dezactly ?”
The sable umpire reflected a mo
ment, and then which a look of wis
dom, said :
“I can’t tell perzactly.”
xYn Example.—“ Well,” said an old
gentleman, the other day, “I have been
forty-seven years in the business, and
can say what very few can after such
experience; in all that time, my friend,
I never disappointed but one single
creditor.”
“Bless me, what an example for our
} T oung mercantile community !” repli
ed the person addressed : “what a pity
that one time occurred; how was it?”
“W by,” responded the old gentle
man, “I paid the debt when it becarng
due, and I never, in all m y life, saw a
man so much astonished as the credi
tor was.”
THE LETTER “L.”
Once upon a time when Miss Logan
was playing at the South, her mana
ger happened to be a veritable cock
ney, with a chronic habit of omitting
his h’s where they should bo and; as
“art” for “heart,” “edge’ for “hedge,”
and the like. On arriving at the place,
Miss Logan was indignant at flnding
no room had been prepared for her,
and said as much. At this the mana
ger bawlded out at the top of hie voice,
“Mm Logan's v°9 m is bell! “Ere boy,
“ yilein lieli, ana put Miss uo
f?fL m _ tliere •” The good humor of
knew that he referred to the room
marked cn the door with a capital
“L.”
A young lady who was rebuked by
her mother for kissing her intended,
justified the act by quoting the pass
age : “Whatsoever ye would that men
should do umo you, do ye even so to
them.”
Near-Sighted.—“Are you near-sigh
ted, miss V” said an impudent fellow to
a young lady who did not once choose
to notice him.
“Yes ;at this distance I can hardly
tell whether you are a pig or a pup
py-”
A young lady, who had recently re
turned from the country, was asked by
an innocent “society’ youth, how she
managed to amuse herself during her
absence, bhe replied that she found
no ditliculty, and after enumerating
various sports, told what capital fun
she thought fishing was. Upon this
the youth “wished he might have been
caught.” Ho was Anally told that
would have been useless, as she “was
not flshiug for suckers.”
A Poser.—A man living at Carlton,
was indignantly complaining that Ins
knife had been stolen, till at last one
of his neighbors whose garden had
been robbed a short time previous, said
to him —
'Hold your tongue, old boy, I found
your kune amongst my cabbages; how
came it there 7”
CONCORD POTATOES.
A man evidently not much usedAo i
hotel life and fashions recently sat j
down at the Plieuix, Concord. The j
waitress in due course repeated to him, I
“Beefsteak, lisk, tripe, lishballs.” The i
man said, ‘ Yes, them's em.” A dish
of beefsteak and a plate of fishbalis
were set before him by a polite young
lady. Greeny slid the steak iuto his
plate, and taking one of the nicely
browned fishbalis on his fork, he un
dertook to peel it. Two or, three of
course unsuccessful attempts in this
direction were made, and not a peel
could he start. The bail dropped from
his fork, but he perseveringly picked it
up again. Finally, in his Jrantic ef
forts, the fisiiball broke into fragments
and fell around his plate. In perfect
disgust with the unmanageable article,
the countryman threw down knife and
fork, exclaiming, “Blame these Con
cord potatoes 1”
Out West they teli a story about a
dog which was greatly interested in
music, which attended a singing school
and was subsequently found in the
back yard with a music book in front
of him, beating time with his tail on a
tin pan and howling “Old Hundred.”
An editor out West says, if “time is
money,” he is willing to exchange a
little of his for cash.
A good sort of a man in Maine was
recently asked to subscribe for the
church. “Now,” said he, “what’s the
use of a chandelier ? After you get it
you can’t get any one to play on it.”
Babies are the coupons attached to
the bonds of matrimony. The inter
est is due at random.
It is said of a popular lecturer that
on announcing to his wife, who had
her own opinions about his talents
that he was going to lecture at Pitts
burg,! tlie lady replied:
“At Pittsburg! I’m so glad; Inl
ways hated those Pittsburg people.”
A clever old dame, who resides a
short distance from New York city,
was recently astonished by her hus
band, who cam© in hurriedly with the
remark': “I have got a present for
you?” “A present for me,” says she;
“what is it?” “A tooth-brush,” res
ponded the old gent. “What good
will that do me—you know that I have
not got a tooth in my head!” retorted
his spouse. “Just the thing,” replied
the venerable joker, “there ain’t a
bristle iu it!”
Three little boys were disputing ns
to whoso father said the shortest
grice.j
First Boy—“My father says, ‘Lord,
we thank thee foiq these provisions.”
Second Boy—“And rume says, ‘Fath
er, bless this food to 11s.”
Third Boy —“Ah, but mine’s the
best of all; lie shoves his plate towards
mamma, and says, ‘Barn ye, fiilgup.”
“These ladies are like birds that are
ou the wing,” said a humorous clerk
to his employer, as a bevy of shopping
damsels left the shop. “Why * sop”
asked the proprietor. Because it tak< s
them a long time to settle ou their pur
chase, (perches,) replied the’ cl< rk.

“Seeing the Elephant.” —A couple
of lads in Portage City, Wis., climbed
a tree outside tlie tent to get a “dead
head” view of Forcpaugh’s circus. As
soon as the elephant was through with
the ring, the managers brought him
out and hitched him to the identical
tree from the limbs of which the lads
were viewing the circus. To “a boy
np a tree,” this thing looked a little
out of order; but they kept as quiet as
death, fearing that they would either
lose the closing views of the perform
ance, or be the subject of the disple is
ure of the circus mao, if be should dis
cover them “dead-heading” it in his
show. Iu due time the performance
closed, the crowd dispersed, and hor
ror upon horrors, the keeper of the au
irnals now added to the perils of their
situation by hitching two smaller ele
phants and a camel to the same tree.
Our lads now discovered that they
were in for a night of it, as all hands
had left, excepting themselves and the
hands on guard below. All hope of es
cape was now cut off. About this time
Romeo concluded to investigate mat
ters about him, and with his trunk
commenced trimming out the small r
branches. Our boys commoucedclimb
ing also, until they had got bove his
! reach ; and now the camel took up the
! investigation, and poking his ugly mug
! up among the limbs, he drove the boys
to the very uppermost branches of the
j tree, where they were discovered at
i day-break, by their anxious parents,
who had been searching for them in
vain all night, teetering and toosed
about like blackbirds on the top of a
rice-stalk in a windy day. The boys
saw more of these animals than all the
rest of the boys in town, and all “for
nothing,” too ; and if they don’t re
member the time for the balance of
: their natural days when they “sat up ’
| with Romeo, then wo rais3 our guess.
The phrase, “seeing the elephant,” had
to them a practical application which
they will always remember.

I We once heard a young man from
' tie country—afterward and now a
i sucoc ful and d merchant
! <‘>f our ci'y—describe the effect which
: .ho ringing of tho first gong he ever
heard (it was at the Astor House then
recently opened) had upon his ears
and upon his mind. It war a most
amusing story if wo could recall it, in
all its graphic detail; but in the mean
time, wo shall permit the following
O
to do duty in its place. The scene
is in Richmond, in the “Old Domin
ion," and the hero, a resident of one of
the tobacco-growing counties of Vir
ginia, has come up to the State capi
tal on his first visit to sell oil’ Lis crop,
see tho sights, and rub oil’ some of the
rust which his backwoods “fetching-1
up” has thrown about his manners. !
He reached Richmond (for so runs
the story) about tho middle of tho nf
tornon, and was forte nato in soiling
his crop at an advantageous rate, and
almost immediately. Meeting with
an old school-fellow—one who had
lived in the city long enough to know
its ways—ho was advised to tako up
bis lodging at tho “crack house” of the
place, ami thither ho at once went,
“bag and baggage.”
Just before dinner, his friend called
upon him and found him comfortably
situated in a room just at tho head of
tho first flight of stairs. It was close
‘upon dinner time.
“Suppose we tako something to
start an appetite ?” said the bibulous
man, who had just conao down.
“Agreed,” rejoined his city friend:
“a glass of wine and bitters for me.”
“! et us go down to the bar and get
it; dinner’s almost ready,” continued
tho tobacco grower.
“We might as well have it up here,"
said the other.
“Good lick; but how arc wo to call
for it?”
“Ring that bell there.”
“ What bell V”
“Why, pull that cord that you see
hanging there.”
The young fellow laid hold of the
rope and gave it a jerk—and just at
that moment the gong sounded for din
ner. Never had he heard such a sound
before; and the rattling, rumbling
swelling roar and crash came upon
his ear with a report that stunned him !
He staggered back from the rope, rais
ed both hands in horror and eirlaim
“Je-ma-salem 1 what a smash 1 I’ve
broke every piece of crockery in the
■KStf-AnsE' SHWff’ t.f ■
lie added to his friend; “don’t leave
me in this scrape, f< rmy whole crop
won’t pay half the breakage. What
did you tell me to touch that blasted
rope for ?”
But before his friend, who was
bursting wtik laughter, could answer,
a servant entered the room, with:
“Did you ring that bell, sir ?”
“Bell ? no; I never touched a bell
in my life; ivkat bell? I never *a<v
your bell.”
“Somebody rang the bell of this room
—that’s certain,” continued the ser
vant.
“No they didn’t, There’s n Body
here that ever ta v a lxll. ’ and then
turning to his friend, he added, aside:
“Lot’s lie him out of it; I shan't have
a cent left to go home with, if I pay
the entire damage ! What do they set
such rascally traps for, to take in folks
from the country ?”
After a violent fit of laughter, the
friend was enabl and to explain that it
was only the gong sounding for din
ner; a simple summons to ‘walk down
to soup,” got up on the Chinese plan
They made their way to the dining
room; but it was sometime before the
young tobacco-grower could get over
the stunning and awful effects of that
dreadful gong.
“It is a god-send/’ said he, “that it
didn’t turn my hair gray on the spot!”
A somewhat conceited clergyman,
who was more celebrated for the length
of his sermons than for their eloquence,
once asked Archdeacon Hale what he
thought of one just preached.
“Well, sir,” replied the brusque
doctor, “I liked one passage extreme
ly well.”
“ Indeed, doctor. Pardon me for
asking you which passage you refer to?’
“Aell, my dear sir,” replied the
archdeacon, “the passage I refer to
was that from the pulp'd to the orslnj."
