The “rebel” privateer Florida was
captured by the Waehusett in the

our government found itself obliged
to apologize in due form. During the
past ten years sailors of the Waehu
sett crew have been suing the govern
ment for prize money, and the case
was decided only last Friday in their
favor by Judge Humphreys of the
Washington District Court. The gov

ture being illegal, there could be no
claim for prize money, but the
plaintiffs proved that $20,000 found
in the safe of the Florida had been dis
tributed among the officers of the
Waehusett, thus establishing that
the government had regarded the
vessel as a prize. The case will be
appealed to the Supreme Court.
A second cousin to perpetual mo

by a man named Keely, and is des

motive power derived from water
without the use of fire or chemicals.
His experiments with engines of
three and fifteen horse power
have proven it to be a perfect suc
cess. If what is claimed for it is
true the use of steam will be super
ceded on boats on rivers, and loco
motives can be run from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, and on long trips,
without stopping for wood or water.
The smoke stacks and boilers of the
present steamers will be taking out,
and a wonderful expense saved to
them. Danger from fires and ex
plosions will he removed and the
water will be covered with vessels
using the Keely motive. It is cer
tainly a wonderful invention, hut
we very much fear will rank with
Payne’s water gas, and the great dis
covery pretended to have been made

much is claimed for this wonderful
motive.

Dr. Connaughton—Dear Sir:—ln accordance with my promise, voluntarily made, I will
give you the result ol" your treatment performed on a cancer located on my face, near mv left
nostril.
Near the corner of my mouth, I had a cancer which had been coming for nine years, gradually
extending over my face, and 1 was greatly annoyed with painful apprehensions as to its alarm
ing ravages. I called on you, who took it out with but slight pain, comparatively a pin scratch.
It was dressed as you directed, and within six days dropped out by the roots. The operation
■was performed with skill, dexterity and judgment, and 1 feel grateful to you for your success.
The place healed rapidly, and now, after two years, it sill remains well and sound, and scarcely
perceivable. I can, with confidence, recommend your treatment to the afflicted for any of the
specialties you profess to cure-
Very respectfully, your friend,

Dear Doctor: My little daughter’s eyes have been seriously diseased for r f> ,eral 3'ears. Her
eyes were streaming with scalding te"ro all the time; they were spasmodically closed whenever
exposed to the light, very much '■.'.lamed; something like a scum formed over each eye; her
sight was almost gone, audshe was reduced in llesh to quite a skeleton, with her general health
much impaired. We had her eyes treated by the very best physicians in Evansville, lud., have
paid out a great deal of money, and after all their drugging she recived no relief. All the above
statements can he substantiated by respectable citizens of Hickman. She lias been under your
reatment four weeks, and ami proud to say the inflammation is all gone. Sheean bear the light
as well as ever, and, in a word, her eyes are as good and healthy as could be doired. We have
every reason to believe that if the afflicted generally, would give vou a fair trial, they too,
would confirm our statements, it is a difficult matter to induce the afflicted to set aside old fogy
principles in order to try new ones, which the rapid march of science is introducing every dav.
My wile and 1 feel grateful to you, and have confidence in your skill, and little Augusta will
never cease to love you for restoring her sight. Your depoitment in our family has always
been that of an attentive ard kind hearted gentleman. Your friend,

P. Walter CONX'irr.HTOv, M. D.,—Mv Dear Sir—l consider it a sacred duty to render you
m y sincere acknowledgements for the marvelous relief you have effected in my’wife’s case,who
has been afflicted v ith a Chronic Female Disease in its worst Joint for several years, and will
mention that my only object in rendering you this statement is to call the attention of suffer
ers to your extraordinary method of vegetable treatment, and beg them to lay aside their prej
udices to try your skill, and be cured like my wife has been. I cheerfully give you this testi
mony, anti hope it will convert sceptics. The characteristic symptoms of my wife’s case are as
follows: Several months ago she took cold, was suddenly attacked with a complication of dis
eases peculiar to females; we tried all sorts of patent medicines and expended considerable
sums of money with out any- benefit. When you came to Tallahassee and promised us a cure,
I confess my confidence in its success was very small indeed, but 1 am Hiankful to an All-wise
Providence for the happy deliverence, and am anxious that others, who are similarly afflicted,
should bo made acquainted with these facts, and at least give you atrial, r!' they- do lam sure
they will bless the day and thank me for this statement.
My wife has been under your skillful treatment only eight days, She is comparitively well,
and your remedies have effected everything you promited with very little medicine, and your
medicines are harmless, effectual and immediate. Your “Herb or Vegetable System" of treat
ing disease is the most harmless, quick and perfect ever brought to my knowledge.
Dr. *lias always shown himself to be a perfect gentleman in my family.
Believe me, with the kindest regards, to be yours truly.

From iJ. Donnelly, Esq., of* Covington, Tennessee.
Uk. Connacghton—Dear Sir:—l havebeen suffering for alone time with neuralgia and dys
pepsia, which have resisted the skill of the best physicians of this country. I have expended
a considerable amount of money lor medicines and Doctor’s bills, but derived no benellt until
I placed myself under your skillfull treatment. I was reduced to a skeleton and could scarce
ly walk, owing to extreme general debility. Five weeks ago I commenced your treatment
and am proud to state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that I am relieved from all my sufferings.
In a word, lam sound and well, and have increased in flesh thirty-five pounds. "Mv gereral
health is better than it has been f r years. Please accept the assurance ot my profound esteem
and lasting gratitude. You will do me an inestimable act of kindness bv accepting the gold
headed cane which accompanies this this note, as an humble token of my gratitude and esteem.
I am, with great regard, your obedient servant. John Donnplly.
Eure oi* Consumption.
I)R. Connatghton—Dear Sir:—Feeling thankful for the great benefit you have conferred on
me, I deem it a duty I owe you and the public to give a succinct statement of my disease and
your successful treatment of it.
Some six years since I contracted a Catarrh, which so rapidly undermined my health that I
was compelled to quit my farm and seek other employment, which somewhat improved me. I
returned to my farm, but took a severe cold, and the old complaint again attacked me in a
more aggravated and complicated form. My lungs become congested and affected with tuber
cles, and all the alarming symptoms of consumption made their appearance. I had sligt bleed
ing irom the lungs, night sweats, an incessant, wearing, hacking cough, and was steadily los
ing flesh and strength. Six of the best physicians of this county and two of Memphis treated me
successively, telling me I had consumption, and that not much could be done lor me bevond
what care and dieting might accomplish.
The last physician gave me a tonic, and told me little else could be done, except to keep my
sell warm and dry. I was completely prostrated, and not able to work half the time. At th'is
distressing stage ol my disease, and with little hope of eitier myself or my friends, I went un
dcr your treatment, withour promise of cure, but nicely an obligation on your part to do the
best you could, llus was six weeks ago to-day. Almost irom the first application I began to
improve, and have gained so rapidly that my cough ha> ceased, the expectoration discontinued
the weakness and soreness ol my breast has subsided, and my strength has steadily improved.’
t urtliermore,some live weeks since 1 weighed myself,though wtihout the intention of a test; mv
friends aud acquaintances, re marking my healthy appearance of late, caused me to try the
scale again, and I was surprised and delighted to And I had gained twenty-seven pounds In the
space mentioned.
Hoping this statement may be the means of inducing other sufferers to give your system a fair
and impartial trial, 1 remain, yours truly. PAUL JONES.
We, the undersigned, being personally acquainted with Mr. Jones, and cognizant of the facts.
cheerfully certify to the correctness ol this statement.
