The pamphlet contains a like ness of the Prince dressed in civilian clothes, with ribbons and medals on his coat lapel. The resemblance to the great Napoleon is very striking. The Boom in Nails.—Leading Pitts burg, Pennsylvania, manufacturers aiw quoted as expressing the opinion that the price of nails, which has been rapidly ad vancing for some time, will reach $7 per keg by the niidddlc of March. The rea son for this is that the manufacturers are without stock and many arc thousands of kegs behind their orders, whilst there are but few nails in stock in the country. —An Indianapolis dispatch says there is no abatement of the exodus of Carolina negroes. They continue to arrive in laige and small lots. Since November 27 over 2,300 have arrived, and not one is making money enough to provide for the necessa ries of life. Of the 250 families in the city, fully one-third are sick with conta gious diseases. The city dispensaries fur nish an average of twenty prescriptions per day. —If longevity, as a national character, istic, be a fair test of the healthiness of a country or tlie tough vitality oT Its peo ple, then Greece may claim to lead the civilized world on the score of its sanitary perfection. Of all countries in Enrope it seems to possess the greatest number of what may be called very old people—that is to say, people from ninety years of age and upward; out of a population of 1,457,- 804, it has of these veterans no fewer tlian 1,308. —A singular suicide recently occurred iu China. A young widow publicly an nounced that she would hang herself rath er than yield to the wishes of her parents and marry again, and the sacrifice was actually consummated in broad daylight. A crowd of the woman’s friends and ad mirers assembled, and tlie tragic ceremony was preceded by a reception of visitors on a platform erected for the occasion. After receiving the mingled applause and condo lence of her friends, the poor young crea ture mounted a chair, placed the rope around her neck, and swung herself oil'in the presence of the gathering. —One hundred years ago, fn 1780, Marie Antoinette was full of joy in her litttle palace of Trianon; Neckar had begnn to put liis finaucial genius into practice; Bonaparte was studying at Bricnne; Tal leyrand was Treasurer of the clergy; Vergniaud and Guadet were pleading at Bordeaux; Robespierre was wr.ting me morials on the abolition of the penalty of death; Mirabcau was in tlie prison of Vin cennes writing his famous essays on let- trot de cachet. None of the great actors who were to play a role on the scene of tlie world had yet been revealed, and none suspected the eminence to which they were to rise. —A readjustment of tlie boundary be tween tlie State of Georgia and Florida was recently made liy careful and expe rienced surveyors. Tlie result of this sur vey gave Florida a strip of territory three- foiirtlis of a mile wide, extending from the Apalachicola river to the St. Mary's. Georgia had stretched her domains a lit tle too far into the territory purchased by the United States from Spain. No titles are affected or disturbed by this read justment of territory, hut a considerable body of land is added to the tax duplicates of Florida and taken from those of Geor gia. —The following extract from a sermon preached by Sydney Smith to her Majesty Queen Victoria, on her accession to the throne, is, thinks the London Truth, wor thy of recalling: “Extinguish in your heart the fiendish love of military glory from which your sex does not necessarily exempt you, and to which the wickedness of flatterers may urge you. Say upon your death-bod, “I have made *few or phans in my reign; I have made few wid ows. My object lias been peace. I have used all the might of my character and the power of my situation to check the irascible passion of mankind and turn them to tlie arts of industry.” Is the Oli> Man In?—Says a special Washington dispatch to the World: “Yes, tlie “old man” is in, and lie’s going to stay in until the race is over. He’s at work already.” The above question was asked in the Senate corridors this morning by a gentle man who was an ardent supporter of Mr. Tilden in 1876, but who has since become disgusted with him and his methods, and the answer was made by a gen tleman who was in Mr. Tilden’s em ploy at $300 a month during the campaign and who is still one of his avowed sup- porters. Tlie “old mau”' referred to was of coarse Mr. Tilden, as he was known and spoken of by that term when running for tlie presidency. —A writer describing Nassau, N. P., in the London Queen says: “The suba queous gardens of the Bahamas are one of the most interesting scenes imaginable and more tlian fulfil any ideas that fancy may create about them. They are really fairy gardens, for far down in the clear green water wave brilliant sea grass, flow ers, and vines, while many species of fish, varying in line and size from the green and golden minnows, not two onnees in weight, perhaps, to the ponderous jew- flsh, clad in a coat of silver mail, and weighing over five hundred pounds, dash, through the shrubbery, or placidly float in a grotto. Conches in which pinkish pearls are ccv «aledmay also be found there, and with them nearly every species of aliell fish indigenous to tropical seas.” —Frof. Collation of Geneva lias effected an importaut improvement iu the ingeni ous contrivance for enabling deaf mutes to hear through the teeth, lately discover ed in this country. For the indiarubber apparatus used by tlie American inventor, which is somewhat costly, tlie Professor substitutes a piece of elastic card-board. Ity this simple expedient deaf mates are enabled to hear voices and distinguish the notes of a piano. The Chicken Slain. From special dispatches received last evening, we learn that jn the chicken wain now in progress in. Charleston Ma- eon is one fight ahead, with six more to be fought. The main has been very closely contested, and the score has been evenly balanced. Thirty seven cocks went from Macon. It wasfoHnd difficult, however, to make good matches of them, and only twenty fights were arranged, with one hundred dollars a fight on each aide, it will thus be seen that while vic tory is with the Georgia Shawlnccks no great amount of money has changed hands ao far, except on outside betting. Tlie Carolina chickens must have been good ones to have stood so valiantly before the Sliawlnecks. The main opened on Thurs day and will close this evening. The races will commence on Monday. THE FREEDXEVS BANK. Prospects of the Passage of the O’ Connor Bill. Many of the colored people of Macon are interested in the bill recently intro duced in Congress by Hon. M. P. O’Con nor, Democratic Congressman from the Charleston, South Carolina District, for the reimbursement of the colored people who lost by the Freedman's Bank swludlo. The hank was organized and operated by Republicans, but it remains to a Demo crat to take active steps for the relief of the darkies. We take the following let- tere from the Savannah Netcs, and they will be read with interest by all who had deposits in the bank at the time of its suspension. The writer, Abraham Burke, is a well known and respectable colored man of Savannah: £/Savannah. Ga., January 23d, 1880. Son. M. P. O'Connor, M. C., Wash ington, 1). C.: Dear Sik—Having no ticed in the proceedings of Congress your humane and excellent bill for tlie govern ment to assume the liabilit ies of the Freed man’s Bank, I take the liberty of writing and asking you to be so kind as to inform mo wliat chance has the hill to become a law. Hundreds, nay, thousands of col ored men, of whom I am one, throughout this city and State, have hailed with de light your action,'and thank the great God that he has raised up for ns a friend in you, who knows wliat the colored man has suffered, and who will protect them as far as lays in liis power to do. Your name will ever he known and honored amongst us, and the prayers of grateful thousands will ascend to heaven for the welfare of yonrself and family. I hope you will excuse the liberty I have taken in writing to you, but I was told by Judge D. A. O’Bryi.e, of this city, that he was sure, from your kindness and nobleness cf character, that you would not hesitate to reply to me, although I am but an hum ble colored man. l’lease let me know if there is any possibility of your bill pass ing this session. Will you please also to give me any information relative to the bank that will be of benefit to my people. I have tlie honor to be, very respect fully, your obedient servant, Abraham Burke. To this letter the distinguished Demo cratic Congressman returned the following prompt reply, which will be of great in terest to onr colored population generally, and will show them what efforts arc being made in tlieir behalf by a Democratic Congressman: House op Representatives, Washington, January 25, 1880. Abraham burke, Savannah, Georgia: Your letter has been received, andiu an swer I have to say that I am doing all I can to advance the cause of the swindled freedmen of the South. The bill is now in charge of a sub-committee from the “Ways and Means,” and just as soon as tlie chairman of this sub-committee, Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, lately elected Sena tor, arrives in the “capital,” I will have the matter brought up for consideration. I cannot foresee the action of Congress, but with a cause such as the one in which we are engaged, I cannot lmt hope for favorable results before this Congress goes out. I remain, very respectfully, yours faith fully, ‘ M. P. O’Connor. Serious Loss. Yesterday Mrs. J. Cooner, of Houston county, met with quite a serious loss. She had come to tlie city with a number of bales of cotton, and after selling, she started home by the usual road for Hous ton county. Tlie money from the sale of tlie cotton amounted to about three hundred dollars. A halt was made at Mr. John Hull's, about nine miles from the city, and by some means a basket, which contained the pocket book in which the funds were placed, was left on the side of the road, where the halt was made previous to go ing into Mr. Huff’s. The loss was not discovered until a number of miles had been traveled, and then it was remem bered exactly where the missing basket had been left. On returning to the spot, however, it was found that the basket had vanished. It is supposed that some dar key in passing saw it and appropriated it. Mrs. Cooner is mucli distressed under her loss. She is one of the best ladles of Houston county. We hope she may he successful In recovering her lost treas ure. • Off tHe Track. Last evening a slight accident occurred near the carshed which seriously inter fered with the incoming and outgoing trains. The Macon and Augusta train which hacks into the shed, liad arrived a little behind schedule time but liad hacked in and discharged its passengers and baggage. In going out from the de pot, however, a loose switch caused a change in the rails, and after the entire train had passed successfully over it tlie back truck of the last passenger coach, instead of remaining on the proper rails, was switched off to another track, wrench ing the track badly and otherwise slight ly injuring the car. The Central train, and the Atlanta, and incoming and outgo ing trains, wore compelled to use the track of the Southwestern, causing consid erable confusion and inconvenience to travelers. The damage will be repaired by this morning. The cause of tlie acci dent must have been on account oi the switch not being properly locked. Superior Court. Yesterday the Superior Court was again occupied the entire day on tlie Gray-Obcar case. The arguments were made by some of the counsel and will be concluded this morning. Colonel John Rutherford opened for the plaintiff, Mr. Gray,, in a speech of about two hours, and was fol lowed by Judge Anderson in an argument for Mr. Obear, the executor, which occu pied about three hours. Captain J. C. Rutherford commenced his argument in conclusion for the plain tiff. He will conclude this morning when after Judge Simmons’ charge, the case will go to the jury. All of the speeches were able. The case is attracting considerable at tention in the city. What the verdict of the jury will be however, conjecture even fails to state. Banco in Vinevllle. One of the pleasantest social events wlrich lias taken place in the village of Vineville this season, occurred last even ing at the residence of Mrs. Sorrell, in a dance given by the young gentlemen of that place. The entire house was thrown open and the gathering was very large. Kessler’s band discoursed music in its best time and sweetest notes, and the space al lotted to the dancers was filled throughout the evening. The whole of young Vineville was out, and a more congenial and happy gather ing has seldom been seen. A favored few attended from the city, and were received witli a genuine welcome. The affair was well arranged and managed by Mr. Ward Holt and Mr. J. S. Jones. The Vineville dances are noted for the thorough enjoy ment they afford to all attending them. —The Appleton Church Home concert will take place on the 10th proximo. Tbe Fool. At the meeting of the Southern Railroad and Steamship Association in Atlanta, which adjourned on Thursday evening, the old officers were all re-elected and it was decided to continue the office in Ma con. This intelligence will be learned with pleasure by the many frionds of the gentlemen who occupy the official posi tions of the Association and the employes of the office. Macon is admirably adapted for tlie transaction of the business of the pool. Every facility that could be obtained elsewhere is here found and in the mat ter of printing the reports of the transac tions it lias been found by actual experi ence that the facilities are greater in Ma con than in Atlanta or any other place yet suggested for the location of the office. We congratulate the gentlemen of the office on tbe decision. The meeting of the Association ad journed on Thursday evening. Yester day the Grand Committee remained over in Atlanta to revise and cqnalize to . a greater extent the rates of freights. There will in some instances be reductions, and in others slight advances. This meeting has been an important one, and was vety largely attended by prominent railroad men interested in the Association. THETOLEKTEEBS’ FAIK. j Some of the prisoners had lost a hand.. — others were heavily ironed, and all wore Tbe Drawing for tbe Bond. the same pinched and starved look. I saw A very large crowd of ladies and gentle- three women in process of execution for Tbe Vineville Crossing. Wc note with pleasure that the author ities have put the upper crossing over the Vineville branch in first-class order- The ancient stumps, which - have becu such obstacles in the roadway, have been re moved. The work has been thoroughly done. On account, however, of the constant attrition of the water, repairs at this place will hardly be permanent until it is bridged. It is a very important av enue of trade, and cert ainly is worthy of a bridge. Barmitzvnh at tbe Synagogue. One of the most interesting ceremonies in the Jewish faith is the liarmilzvalt or Confirmation Service, and recognized by all Israelites as the religious majority. The rite takes place on the Sabbath fol lowing tlie thirteenth birthday of the males, and in the fourteenth year of the females. The male confirmant reads in Hebrew a section of the Pentateuch and delivers an address—a valedictory to youth and confession of.faith. The con- firmant of this morning is Henry Glass, son of Mr. M. Glass, of Fort Valley. Dr. Benson will conduct the services. Doors open at ten o’clock and close at half past ten. The public is invited. Supposed Murderer Arrested. Yesterday officer Fennell arrested on Fourth street a suspicious looking darkey who answers to the description of a col ored man who is charged and is wanted for the offense of murder in Taylor county. He was lodged in the barracks and held for further intelligence. Parties in Taylor county were telegraphed for information by the Chief of Police but up to a late hour last evening no answer had been received. On his person were found a pistol and $4.10 in money. He gave as his name Henry Wood. It is supposed this name is an alias, and that George Walker is the correct name. Attempted Bobbery. Night before last considerable excite ment was caused on Jefferson street by the attempt of two men to enter the house of William Savage, a well known colored barber of this city. Two separate at tempts were made. The second time the two men secreted themselves under the front porch of the house to await an op portunity to-enter. They were discover ed and the alarm given, when they left precipitately. A crowd from the neigh borhood soon congregated, and for a short while excitement ran high. Tlie tenant of the house, who was not at home at the time, announces that he lias eighteen buckshot ready for the next visit of the two men. Colonel Haskell, of South Carolina. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I see in the press dispatches that there is some trouble in Columbia, South Caroli na, between General William W. Gary and Colonel John C. Haskell. Of course I do not know anything about the partic ulars of the difficulty between the two gentlemen, but one thing I do know, Col onel Haskel is one of the noblest men I ever met, and was a gallant Confederate officer—as brave as Julius Caesar. He lost his right arm during the war. The writer served with Colonel Haskell as ad jutant, at the time he commanded a bat talion of artillery, made up of Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia batteries. lie was quite a young man, but no officer in the Confederate army filled more foithily the uniform ho wore. Af ter the war he married a daughter of Governor (Senator). Hampton, and upon one or two occasions, has visited Macon. He has many friends in Georgia who wish him well, and would deplore any misiortune that might happen to him per sonally. N. M. H. Dramatic Notes. L Lotta is in Pittsburg.

A close inspection revealed the fact that the state of inebriety was not hastily put on (like a hat), but had been worn close ly (like an under-shirt) for several days. For a few moments the President survey ed the under-graduate with' an expression of mingled commission and disgust, and finally exclaimed, “Been on a drank.*” The half-conscious student rallied his straying senses, and with a gleam of good fellowship in his eye, somewhat unexpect edly ejaculated, “So—hie—have I!” SUPERIOR COURT. A Hang 1 Jury. Yesterday morning the Gray-Obear case was resumed in the Superior Court, Captain J. C. Rutherford concluing for the plaintiff, in what was pronounced by many to he finest effort he has ever made in this city. The juty was charged and the case placed in their keeping about one o’clock. Since that time they have been cloistered to themselves and have been unable to make a verdict. .The case will* in all probability, result iu a mistrial. men assembled last evening at the armory of the Volunteers, to witness the drawing for the five hundred dollar bond, and to attend the auction of the remaining ar ticles. -The bond has enlisted more inter est than anything else, and the tickets have been very generally distributed, not only in Macon, but in neighboring cities. Last evening in the presence of the as sembled crowd, the managers, Major W, H. Ross, Mr. J. F. Hanson and Captain T. L. Massenbeig placed the numbers in the wheel provided for tlie purpose; Mas ter Ollie Hodges was blindfolded and after the wheel had been revolved and the tickets thoroughly mixed up, twenty-five tickets were drawn out and read to the audience by Major Ross. The interest be came intense as each number was read and each holder present rapidly ran over liis tickets to see if aDy of those drawn were among them. The numbers thus drawn were: 585, 430, 40, 864, 833, 820, 287, 601, 376,720,435,141,300,400, 302 104, 743, 612, 304„1G2,524,. 529,358, 172, 859, The wheel was emptied, and the twen ty-five tickets placed therein, and after re volving as usual five were drawn out. .These numbers were 743, 300, 162,741 and G12. The excitement here became intense. These five were placed in tho wheel, and the winning ticket, number 012, drawn out amid cheers and a perfect buzz of inquiry all over the room. It was soon ascertained that G12 was held by Mr. J. L. Cook. The report spread that two young ladies were inter ested in tho drawing with Mr. Cook. In an interview last evening, however, Mr. Cook stated that he was the sole owner oi the lucky ticket. Attentiou was next directed to the raffles. Dr. J. S. Baxter won the elegant bedroom furniture by a throw of forty-live. Mr. T. H. Henderson won the handsome easy chair. On tlie evening previous, Miss Aurie Hall wou tho large aquarium, and Mayor Huff the smaller one. Mr. J. S. Stewart won the handsome saddle donated by Messrs. Bemd Brothers. A large quantity of goods were auctioned off, leaving on hand, however, quite a supply,among others, a hale of. sheeting dqnated by Messrs. Hanson. , The votes were counted out last even ing. For tho most popular young gentle man, the vote stood.- W. II, Woodson, Si; E. A. Isaacs, 45; J. Emanuel, 11; Rowe Price, IS; T. B. Blackshear, 15; scattering, 2. Mr. Wood- sou was declared the winner, and was presented with, the handsome cane. For the most popular officer the vote stood: Lieutenant W. B. Sparks, 1G2: Lieutenant Conner, 72; Captain Harde man, 0; Captain Carnes 0, and Captain McManus 1. The sword was accordingly placed in the keeping of Mr, Sparks. The fair closed successfully, and it is thought about twenty-five hundred dol lars will be netted for the Volunteers.

" A correspondent of the World, writing from Shanghai, says: “I went to see six Chinese pirates belieaded yesterday. The open square where all tho executions took place, was filled with Chinese of all ages and conditions,- and a few Europeans among them. The prisoners were the most forlorn starvelings I ever saw, and betrayed no more fear at their approach ing fate than if they were to be spectators of an execution. A huge Tartar officiated as executioner. He was armed with a na tive sword, and stood on a small platform in the centre of the square. After the criminals, with their hands tied behind, liad been taken upon the stage, the execu tioner took one of tho pirates by the arm, orought him to the edge of the platform, hit him a sharp rap with his hand on the head, which caused the poor fellow to how his head, and then the execu tioner’s sword went up, was poised in the air a full minute, and with a sweep the glittering blade descended and the poor criminal’s head went flying off in one di rection fcnd the body in the other. One by one the others met their death in the same way, the Tartar making a very short, business-like job of it, merely turning to receive the plaudits of the crowd after each head rolled off, and re sponded by a grin which showed every one of his teeth. But the stolidity of the poor wretches was beyond description. Not a muscle quivered, and even when waiting for the blade of the executioner to descend I could not detect a sign of emotion. The crowd seemed to enjoy the sight immensely, and set up a yell of delight at each cut of the Tartar’s sword. Iam told that executions are common here. Sickened with the sight I went down one cf the roads, and coming to a prison, went in. Of all places in this world, I believe there is notone where so much ab ject wretchedness can be seen as in a Chinese prison. The criminals serving out sentence, got but one meal a week from the authorities. The rest of the time they are fed by their friends, if they have any; by the contributions of visitors or they starve. I had not much money on going in, but came out penniless, the poor murdering a man. They were hanged by the neck in a kind of wooden stock, so ar ranged that their feet could just touch the ground, and were left 1 in this condition until dead. Sometimes death ensues, very soon, but oftener a day or two will pass before the poor wretch dies, as tlieir is no piessure on the neck, I was glad to get away from this place, too. But the piteous tones of the poor prisoners, begging for ‘cumshaw* (a pres ent), ring in my ears yet.” Memorial to the Commissioner*. The following was handed in for publi cation, and will explain itself: To the Commissioners of liibb Comity: We, tlie undersigned citizens of Macon, represent that the erection of a jail on Mulberry street adjoining the County Court House, will: 1. Prove an injury to the value of adjacent property, in as much, though tlie jail may be concealed from the front by the erection of a jailer’s residence, tlie families between the jail and river will be forced to endure tho vile obscenity of the imprisoned criminals or move from the neighborhood. 2. That the moral influence alone of a jail in . the vicinity, will cause, as it has done in other cities, tlie removal of the better classes, their places being taken by the low and disreputable. 3. This portion of the city having been chosen as the most fit place in the whole county for the erection of our elegant monument to tlie dead Confederate"he roes of Bibl), that our feelings should hot be outraged by putting in such near con tact tbe cells that are to contain the vil lains of the community. 4. Tliough it were possible to conceal the prisoners from eveiy point of view, yet their voices can be heard, unless their moutlis are kept continually gagged, and their outrageous profanity will constantly float iu upon the set vices of at least three of our principal churches. The human voice can he heard over half a mile dis tinctly, lienee in the summer especially, when all windows are compelled to be open, the blasphemous screams of those confined will prove an intolerable nui sance to worshippers on tbe quiet Sab bath. 5. Tiiat criminals who are to suffer the extreme peualty of the law, must be hung in the jail yard, which will still further depress the value ot adjoining property, yet more degrade our noble monument, aud sadly reflect upon onr churches, that tlie home of tlie blasphemer and law breaker should; stand so prominently in their very midst. Hence wc believe that the county will lose much less even by iucreasing the pay of deputy sheriffs for their extra walking to and from a more distant jail, than will be lost in reduced taxes by tlie deprecia tion of valuable property, and for reasons above stated, we respectfully ask that the jail be put in its old position if tiiat be possible, or iu some, other less used and inhabited part of tlie city tlian that near our county cotirt-liouse, anil your peti tioners as in.duty bound will ever pray.'

The hell donated by the Hibernian So ciety to St. Joseph’s Church; has arrived, and is now to be seen on Fourth street in front of the church, where it has been placed preparatory to its final location in the belfry of the church. It is an elegant bell of some two thousand pounds weight, from the celebrated foundry of the Mene- lys, of Troy, New York. The Hiber nians had sonic six hundred dollars in tlieir treasury, and by a vote of the society it was appropriated to this .commendable purpose. The church lias been without a hell for many years. The building was originally used by the Presbyterians of the city, and was subsequently sold to the Catholics. Singe their purchase no bell has sounded from its steeple. The bel fry has, however, been thoroughly exam ined by competent architects, and they pronounced it able to sustain and accom modate the bell. We congratulate the church on this acquisition. The Catholic denomination have more frequent use for bells tlian any other, and this one will be quite an addition to the chimes of the city. ___ Visitors to Belshazzar. We hear of parties being made up, in several of the towus situated on the vari ous railroads centering in Macon, to attend the coming renditions of this brilliant op era during next week. If tlie railroad authorities would grant a liberal reduction or fares, there would doubtless he a much larger attendance of visitors than were here last May. Something might be dond to get railroad officials to offer induce ments to parties at a distance.

( Stammering and Cancers Cured by Dr. Moses A Son, recently from At lanta. From the acknowledged fact that the true nature and causes of stammering have never been determined by medical men, no effective remedy has ever been suggested for ifs correction. So, fyr the want of correct apprehension of (lie real character of cancer, this loathsome ili>- ease has very placidly been .set down as incurable. “ For .the same reason that the stammerer has been permitted to agonize, the world With his mockish articulation and painful contortions, so the pitiable subjects of can cer have been left to battle with its pain ful, disgusting and life. destroying ravages under the sterotyped decree that these maladies cannot be cured. , But these lisping, stuttering voices and despondent groans need no longer be heard. Both these inveterate problems that have so long defied human science have at last been demonstrated and prac tically solved. Dr. N. A. Moses, of Vir ginia, has recently touched tlie key note that now triumphantly procaims vic tory over these humiliating troubles. He unfetters the stammering tongue and bids it speak with ease and flnency. He is demonstrating in his daily pracr tice that cancers can be positively aud permanently cured. Thousands of valua ble tongues long fettered are to-ilay-shout- ling victory with clear and distinct voices, and thousands more gratefully lauding the same benefactor for happy dejiyer- ance from the ominous ravages of cancer ‘and other offensive and destructive ulcers. Dr. Moses hps lias taken-rooms at the Lanier House, Macon, Georgia, where he can be seen and consulted. * Atlanta, Ga., January 26, 1880. . . This is to certify that I have recently jbeen afflicted. with, two cancers—one on my nose and the other on iny upper lip. It has been about four years since they began to make their appearance, and have continued to progress until about a month ago, when Dr. Moses began to,treat them, lie has entirely removed theta both, and without the aid of knife or instrument of anytkind, and they appear to be entirely and permanently cured. I cheerfully rec ommend his treatment to all in need of such help.' i. Miss. Ruth A. M. Nelson, 202 Jones Street. CERTIFICATES. , . For the benefit of suffering humanity, I state that Dr. Moses & Son have cured me of a cancer under my right eye with a vegetable plaster, having been unsuccess fully treated by several physicians hereto fore; as an expression of gratitude and an appreciation for faithful service kindly rendered by them, I cheerfully recom mend them.
