“Historical Collections of Georgia,"
By the Rev. George White of the Diocese
of Georgia.
A correct history of the Aborigines ol any
country is always a cherished desideratum with
the Statesman and the Philanthropist, and al
though a narrative of all nations, both ancient
and modern, is more or less obscured by fable, it
is eageily sought for and perused by the general
reader. In this progressive age, when science
and the arts are industriously working to civil
ize and christianize the Heathen world, the
United States ol America has already taken a
prominent position among the nations of the
earth. Under her model constitution, giving a
guaranty of protection and security to an illimi
table population, to be spread over an erea of
country of every soil and every climate, this
infant Republic is no doubt ultimately destined
to act no second part in the drama of nations
More fortunate than most other nations, in
tracing her origin—and justly proud of her
honorable descent —with but little more than
three-quarters of a century since the date of
her great natal jubilee, she already numbers a
population of nearly twenty-five millions of in
habitants. Bound together by a confederation
of States, each an imperium ia imperio, it is highly
important and desirable, at the earliest moment,
to preserve an authentic record of the origin of
these separate governments, with their progres
sive advancement in population and every other
circumstance connected with their statistics.
>■ Among the original thirteen States of the
' Federal Union, the enterprise of Georgia gives
v , her a pre-eminence, which causes her to be dis
tinguished, as the “Empire State of the South,”
and renders it more than ever desirable, while
in possession of the necessary documents, to
preserve an unbroken chain of her history, from
the last link which bound her in Colonial de
pendence with the Mother Country. The pre
servation of the series of events in the history of
this now sovereign ans independent State, is the
object of the Rev. George White, in the work j
above referred to, and now ready for the Press.
The patronage extended to this gentleman, in
his l ’’ Statistics of Georgia” is an earnest of suc
cess in the present more elaborate work, his
“ Historical Collections of Georgia .” Mr. White
has been many years engaged in the collection
of materials for this work. He has been favored
by the Legislature of Georgia, with the loan of
the Colonial documents, procured from England;
and his untiring exertions, have given him ac
cess to the Libraries of Charleston and Savannah,
to the public offices in Milledgeville—to many
of the county records—the examination of ex
tensive files of newspapers, together with valua
ble Revolutionary documents and information
derived from correspondence with many distin
guished gentlemen. In connection with the
colonial History of Georgia and the progress of
events, leading to her elevated eminence among
her sister States, will be found many important
treaties with some of the Indian tribes and several
interesting biographies of her distinguished
Patriots and Statesmen—together with a de
tailed history of each county in the State.
Mr. White has acquired for himself, merited
distinction as a Teacher of Youth for many
years in Savannah and subsequently in the in
terior of Georgia. Indefatigable in every en
terprise in which he becomes engaged, and
deeply interested in the work he has now, with
much labour, prepared for the Press, the public
will no doubt be amply compensated for the
patronage they may generously bestow, and for
which he is no less justly entitled.
Augusta, July 24,1853. CIVIS.
Weaiher and Crops.
Alabama. —The Selma State Sentinel of the
16th inst., says i
While passing up the railroad the other day,
we were forcibly impressed with the fertility of
some farms in the Mulberry valley. The corn
on the plantation of Dr. Jones, or rather his
“Alabama Guano Bottom,” in Autauga county,
was the most promising of any. It was planted
on the 9th of May, and is now in full silk and
tassel. There is no use for going to South Amer
ica for guano, when such bottom lands can be
found as those of Dr. Jones.
Judging from the very small quantity on board
the steamers that pass down the river almost
daily, there must be but little cotton at the dif
ferent shipping points on the river. The prin
cipal business of the steamers that are now ply
ing on the Alabama river, seems to be confined
to passengers and up freight.
The Claiborne (Monroe county) Southerner,
of the 16th inst., says:
Our town was visited by a heavy thunder
storm on Sunday last. The wind blew a gale
from the southwest, followed by a drenching,
driving rain. Many trees and limbs were fell
ed by the swift courser of the air. The strom
was not of long duration. More damage than
good was effected by it.
On Monday and Tuesday copious showers of
rain again descended and in the place of the
usual quantity of dust at this season of the year,
we have been favored with mud.
The Eastern Question and the probabili
ty of a War. —The New York Mirror, specula
ting on European politics, and the latest com
plexion of the Eastern question, says :
“We still bold to the opinion that there will
be no war. The hostile powers will approach,
perhaps, within sight of each other ; and nego
tiate, possibly, with drawn swords. The pres
ence of the English and French fleets will check
the movement of the Czar; while the Sultan,
not receiving that ‘ aid and comfort’ which he
looked for from England and France, will be glad
to avoid a conflict with the ‘ Great Bear.’ How
ever much it may shock the natural enemies of
despotism, we must confess that our private in
dignation against Russia has not yet mounted to
so high a pitch as we felt, in common with all
Christendom, against Turkey, when she bathed
her scimitars in the blood of Greece. But there
will be no war. The Powers of Europe and the
East are too poor to indulge in such an expensive
luxury.”
The New York Commercial, in an article on
the same subject, comes to a similar conclusion.
We quote:
“Taking all things into consideration, the oft
repeated declarations of the two principals, the
political condition of Austria, the fact that peace
is the policy and no doubt the preference of Eng
land, and the spirit of the age, we feel confident
that, unless some contingency arises which has
not yet cast its shadow before it, the peace of
Europe is not likely to be disturbed by actual
war on this Russo-Turkish question, however
closely the controversy may border upon war.
There will be a propitiation devised, even though
it be at the eleventh hour.”
We have had several refreshing showers since
our last issue, and our farmers are now confident
of making almost, if not quite, an average crop.
We think from piesent prospects the probability
is strong that the rats and the weevil will eat
some of the dollar a bushel corn.— Buena Vista
Vademeiuum, 22 d inst.
Paris Fashions.
The New York Journal of Commerce has a i
letter, dated Paris, June 27, giving the following
account of the prevailing fashions in ladies’
dress. We copy it for the information of our
readers, to whom, we are pretty confident, noth
ing in our paper can be more acceptable:
The toilettes most in demand at the present
moment are those adapted for the watering
places. The style of dress now worn at those
fashionable places of summer resort is very bril
liant and extravagant. A novelty in robes has
recently appeared, very different from anything
we have been accustomed to see, and which
deserves a description. The silk skirt has seven,
eight or nine flounces of graduated shades of the
same color, the darkest being placed at the bot
tom*of the skirt; the body of this dress is of a
lighter shape than the lighest colored flounce.—
There are other silks with the same number of
flounces, each of which is of a different color; the
last flounce, for instance, is violent, the next
above is green, and the third grey, and soon;
these flounces are trimmed with a ribbon of the
same color. The bodies generally worn with
these gay skirts are of white muslin. The fa
vorite sleeve of the present moment is that
styled the Anne of Austria sleeve; this is a
double sleeve, the under one of which is white,
either muslin, lace, or taffeta; it is almost tight
at the shoulder, half wide towards the elbow,
and tight at the wrist; the outer sleeve is of the
same material as the dress, and is cut straight,
wide, and rather short, and is open from the
shoulder to the edge, only drawn together in
three places, thus showing the white sleeve
through the openings. Manv dresses are made
of white muslin with seven festooned flounces;
also of Louisa blue taffeta with three flounces
pinked at the edge, each surmounted by a pink
ed ruche.
Very short pelisses, ornamented with an abun
dance of bows and ruches, have been in great
vogue until the last few weeks, when a change
has been made in the shape of these graceful gar
ments. These mantles are now longer and ful
ler, and plaited a la vieille , and are trimmed with
three or four flounces of lace. The magnificent
black Chantilly lace forms a beautiful decora
tion for the pelisses. Black lace points and
scarfs are favorite additions to full dress toilettes.
Bonnets and caps are literally covered with
flow ers; wreathes of light roses made of crape
and lace, are formed into caps and head dresses
for dinner or evening costume. On tuscan or
rice straw bonnets there are placed beautiful jas
min tufts of straw and daisies mixed with field
flowers.
In linen articles there are new bodies, which
j serve the same as chemisettes and under bodies;
the fronts are of Valenciennes insertions and
English embroideries: also Valenciennes lace
with muslin bouillons, through which ribbons
are run. The Empress collar is made excessive
ly wide and rich. This style of collar is only
j suitable for ladies who are stout, as it sets off
! from the neck, displays the throat and spreads
| over the shoulders.
j Jewelry is as much worn at the entertain
j ments at watering places, as in the ball rooms
of Paris. Many bracelets cover the arms ; corals,
j chased gold and enamelled ornaments are in
j good taste, even when worn with the morning
j costume.
. For promenades on the sea-side or in pub
] lie walks, the Eugenia mantilla cars iorms a
| pretty and dressy garment. Its shape is low
!on the shoulders and rounded in front ; the
| width in the midd'e of the back is very
j nearly half a yard, and the length varies two
yards to two and a quarter. It is gradually
•! narrowed towards the ends, which are not
j more than eight inches wide and are cut
I square. Three rows ot white guipure, four
inches wide, sewed on flat, cover this white
j silk mantle. A guipure silk braid heads each
| row of lace, and, a guipure lace from 12 to
14 inches in width, sewed round the edges,
completes this mantle.

To any inquiring what they shall do
for a cough and cold, wo would say,
read the following certificate, which has been sign
ed by one hundred of the first Houses of Druggists
in this country, to lay before the public their esti
mate of a good medicine They are all men of tho
first class and of tho highest character, whose ex
perience and business leads them to know, and this
is their opinion:—
“We tho undorsignod, Wholesale Druggists,
having been long acquainted with Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, hereby certify our belief that it is the
best and most effectual remedy for Pulmonary
Complaints ever offered to the American People.
And we would from our knowledge of its composi
tion, and extensive usefulness, cordially commend
it to the afflicted as worthy their best confidence,
and with the firm conviction that it will do for their
relief all that medicine can do.”

A Good Comparison.—The Rev. Wil
liam Roulatt, a well-kown Methodist
clergyman, residing at Naples, draws the following
amusing but apt comparison, between Dr. M Lane’s
celebrated Vermifuge and a terret: —
A ferret, when placed at tho entrance of a rat
hole, enters the aperture, travels along the pas
sage, scizos upon the rat, exterminates his existence
and draws tho animal’s defunct carcass to tho light.
And in like manner I have found Dr. M'Lane's
American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, those
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children.
This remedy, like tho ferot, enters the aperture of
the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round
tho stomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes the
life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and
carries their carcasses clear out of the system.
This, at least, has been tho effect of the Vermifuge
upen my children.”
A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus
both giving their most unequivocal approval of
this great specific, after having witnessed its opera
tion upon their own children. Let others try jt,
and be satisfied.

*rf. We have frequently heard the cele
~ brated German Bitters, sold by Dr. CJ
M. Jackson, 120 Arch street Philadelphia, spoken
of in torms of tho highest commendation, and we
honestly believe that it is one of tho best medicines
advertised for tho complaints for which it is recom
mended. They arc pleasant to tho taste, and can
bo taken under any circumstances by the most de
licate stomach. The press far and wide, have uni
ted in commending this invaluable remedy for

H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment.—
(&*—This colebrated medicine, skilfully
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost eve
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven by tho miraculous cures it performs,
and by the great and constantly increasing de
mand. There has been sold within tho past year
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES,
and thero can be but few persons found who do
not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare
virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of the world, has been so successful as an
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta
neously diffuses itself through tho whole system,
soothing the irritated nerves, allaying tho most
intense pains, and creating a most delightful sensa
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested toby hundreds who were fully ac
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils. —My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar
ger, till when six years old had great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
fearing she would suffoeato. Tho best doctors),at
tended her but could give no relief. I took her to the
most eminent doctors in the East; they said there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned homo with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in
again ; they decided that the tonsils must bo cut
off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife
would not consent to this, and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first
application, and by a continued use she entire
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc , and Vt will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.

Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late

many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -

mixture has wrought its evil effects.

■ most universal of those are general debility, and its
sure attendant lowness of spirits. For these wo can
recommend a speedy ard unfailing cure, in the
shape of Iloofland's German Bittcs, prepared by
Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. It is, in ouropin
' ion. a medicine, suigeneris—alor.-—unapproacha
ble. It seems to reach the fountain head of tho
difficulty in tho digestive organization, and thus to
rcliovo tho secrotions and the blood as the merceries
morbi, or the cause of disease. Its tonic properties
give vigor to tho membranes of the stomach, and
promote the secretion of the gastric juice, which
1 dissolves the food, while its cordial, soothing, and
alterative influence imparts general regularity and
strongth to the action of the socrotivo organs, and
seom to fortify the constitution. Such is our own
experience of its effects, and we believe it is con
firmed by the evidence of all who have tried it, or
had an opportunity of witnessing its operation.—

Augusta Market—July 27.
COTTON.—Wo have been some years in the
habit of giving a daily and weekly review of the
Augusta Market, but must say tho past week has
been the dullest within our recollection, the sales
not reaching over fifty bales. Tho fact is, tho
stock on hand is principally in the hands of second
parties, who evince no disposition to operate Ar
thar until they can realize, or the existing state of
affairs across the water become more settled.
Added to this, the manufacturers in the immediate
neighborhood have on hand supplies, which leaves
the market in its present torpid condition. There
is little or no cotton coming to market, and tho ad
vices daily received are of a more favorable char
acter as regards the growing crops. But it is too
early to form any estimate as to its extent; it will
no doubt be much better than expected a few
weeks ago, but, at best, must prove a short crop in
this section of the country. We omit any thing like
quotations, as in the present state of tho market it
is impossible to say what a lot would bring were it
forced on the market.

GROCERIES.—As usual at this season of the
year there is but a limited business doing in the
Grocery line. The little doing is confined to sup
plying small orders from tho country. The m arket
continues well supplied with all descriptions of Gro
ceries, and most of our merchants are North pre
paring for tho fall business.
CORN.—Prices have a downward tendency. We
have heard of sales this week at 70 cents without
sacks and 75 cents with. A lot o( 3000 bushels,
| wevily, has been retailing from store at 60 cents
per bushel by the one or fifty bushels, but by no
greater quantity. Buyers do not seem disposed to
give over 70 cents with sacks. Peas are scarce and
retailing at §1 a 1 25.
BACON.—Su) ply on hand good, and prices, if
any thing, easier. Good Tennessee is getting scarce.
We have heard of sales this week of about 60,000
lbs. at prices averaging from 8 to 8 j cents. The
latter price is now difficult to obtain, unless for
small choice lots. Among that sold above was a
lot of sides at Bj, and shoulders at 03 cents. There
is but little good joint meat in market.
WHEAT.—There is a good demand for Wheat,
and good Red meets with ready sale at 80 a 90
cents, and prime White at sl.lO a $1.25 per bushel.
FLOUR.—Prices have advanced, and we now
quote city Mills Superfine at ss} wholesale, and
$6 by retail. Denmead’s is selling by the quantity
at 53, and retailing at s6l a 0) per bbl.
SUGAR.—Stock on hand fully equal to demand.
COFFEE.—We have no change to notice in the
price of this article. Stock on hand good. Rio
Coffee worth Os a 10J cents.
MOLASSES.—Stock of Cuba good. Holders
are selling from stores by tho 10 hhds and upwards
at 23, and by the single bbd. 24 a 25, according to
quality.
SALT. —We have hoard of no large transactions
this week. Selling from stores at $1.35 a 1.40 per
sack. There is some Liverpool Blown Salt in
market, which is offered at $1.75 per sack.
WOOL.—There is some demand for this article,
Planters will find it to their interest to save
their wool and send it to this market for sale; if
carefully handled, and washed, it will readily bring
25 to 30 cents.
BAGGING.—But a limited demand for the ar
ticle. Holders, however, refuse to sell under 12' a

We have only the sales of 7 bales to report this
week, and remarks upon tho operations or feeling
in the market are therefore unnecessary. On Friday j
the telegraph announced the arrival of the Arabia ;
the Liverpool market was reported unchanged, ,
fair Upland being quoted at 6£d. The sales of the
I week had been 50,000 bales, of which speculafors j
! took 9,000, and exporters 6,000. Tho sales at Hav- i
)re for the week were 8,000 bales. The prospects ,
j of a war between Russia and Turkey had caused
| some uneasiness in the European markets. ;
j A general war in Europe would affect the price
I of our great staple, and the foreign news is there
j fore looked for with much anxiety. Since our last,
the weather has been quite warm, and we have (
; been favored with frequent showers. The prospect |
1 for the growing crops has consi lerably i nproved in ]
j this State, particularly in Middle Georgia, where ,
! the drought had been most severely felt. We are
having the dull season in fact, as well as in name,
' and during the past week there has been less stir i
in our streets than has been noticed in several I
years. <

Charleston, July 22. — Cotton. —The market,
since our report of tho 15th inst., has been very
quiet There was some little inquiry for tho arti
cle during the week, but as purchasers claimed a
concession holders refused to meet them, and
hence the cause of the stagnation that has prevail
ed during this period. The transactions in some
instances show ayieidingon the part of sellers; but
no positive decline can be said to have been es
tablished in prices; and 10J a 11c. for Good Mid
dling and Middling Fair, which wore tho rates
current for these qualities when we made up our
former report, may be considered a fair index of the
state of tho market at tho close of the present week.
Tho transactions may bo summed up as follows,
viz: Friday—: Saturday 180; Monday 289; Tues
day—; Wednesday—; and Thursday 737—making
a total of 1200 bales, at the following prices:—267
at 9;43at 9j ; 116 at 93; 716 at 10J ; and 74 bales
at lie. Tho transactions in Long Cotton have
been confined to a few lots odds and ends, which
we do not think of sufficient consequence to report,
Hire. —This article has been very much neglected
throughout the week just brought to a close. The
receipts comprise 852 tierces, of which about 400
tierces have been sold at extremes ranging from 3j
a3 j per hundred. Prices are about the same as
previously reported Tho balance of the receipts
is being shipped to a foreign port,
j Corn. —The prevalence of south-westerly winds
for some time back, has kept out arrivals, and wo
have never known the stock so completely exhaus
ted as at present, and holders, anxious to replenish,
have paid high prices for parcels to arrive. In
this way, some 14000 bushels Maryland, have
been sold at 70 a75 cents per bushel. A cargo
comprising about 4000 bushels prime North-Caro
lina, sold as high as 81 cents per bushel.
treights, — The three vessels reported in our last
as loading tor Liverpool, have nearly completed
their cargoes at for Cotton in square bags. Tho
Now \ ork rate may still be quoted nominally at
jfc.lor Cotton per bale, and jo. per tierce for Rico.

Liverpool, July s.—Little variation can be no
ticed in our Cotton market since the departure
lof the Arabia. The same causes which have ac
tuated all classes for the past six weeks remain in
full force, with little prospect of immediate change.
The political advices from tho East of Europe con
tinue of a very dubious and warlike character, and
have had a depressing influence an all public se
curities, both in this country and France.
The last received accounts from America, por
Canada, on Sunday, are somewhat conflicting in
regard to the prospects for the growing crop, but
are universal iu stating it to be backward, and con
firming those previously to hand with respect to the
deficiency in tho receipts and reduced estimates of
the past season's yield, thus curtailing the addition
al supply it was expected would find its way to the
English markets—has somewhat strengthened the
1 position of holders, and induced a more active in
i quiry from tho trado, who have operated pretty
. freely, and in excess of their consumption, the bet
ter to resist any upward movement the settlement
of the Russian question would undoubtedly give
■ rise to.
Speculators and exporters have also entered
upon extended transactions, notwithstanding which
no animation is apparent, and tho inquiry is met
by abundant offerings at the same irregularity in
prices of the ordinary grades, but some little hard
ening in rates of qualities middling and above with
staple, which are getting scarce, and to which the
demand is more particularly directed.
The sales of the three days are estimated at
Spec. & Ameri-
Bales. Ex’pt. can. Surat?. Eg'pt. Brazil.
Saturday, 8,000 3,000 7,000 600 200200
Monday, 10,000 4.000 8,000 700 1,000 300
Tuesday, 7,000 2,500 6,500 800 100 100
The import for the same time is about 65,000
bales.
The Manchester Goodsmarket remains in tho
same inactive stato as last reported.
In the Grain trade much excitement has pro- |
vailed during the past ten days, and prices of all ;
articles are again advanced on the quotations given j
in our advices per Arabia. Wheat continues in I
active demand at 7s 9d a 8s 3d per bushel of 70 lbs I
for white American, and 7s 3d a 7s 6d for red. !
Flour has boon largely dealt in, and realized 27s |
6d a 28sfor Western, and Canadian, and as high j
as 28s a 29s for choice brands of Baltimore and j
Philadelphia. Indian Corn is more saleable at 31s 1
for yellow and 32s a 32s 6 per quartor for white, j
The imports are heavy of all articles.
Tho unfavorable stale of the weather and the j
rise in the Grain markets have ’ bestired Rice, on:
which a lurthor rise has been obtained; but tho |
most important part of our transactions was on j
speculation. Our market is bare of Carolina
Rice.
Havre, July 6.—The sales in our Cotton mar
ket yesterday were about 1000 bales of all descrip
tions. Low grades have somewhat declined, but
good descriptions maintain themselves in prices.
The demand during the sen night has been mod
erate, as our stock is very large, but upon the
whole the state of things remain about the same,
and money is obtainable at low rates.

freshing rest. Great relief from "suffering, and an ulti
mate cure, is afforded to thousands who are thus af
flicted, by this invaluable remedy.
From its agreeable effect in these cases, many fine
themselves unwilling to forego its use when the neces
sity for it has ceased.
From two eminent Physicians in
Fayetteville. Tens, April lfith, 1861.
Sir: —We have given your Cherry Pectoral an exten
sive trial in our practice, and find it to surpass every
i other remedy we have for curing affections of the re
i.-puatoiy oigai. . DRS. DIEMER A HAMPTON.
TO SINGERS AND PULIC SPEAKERS, this remedy
: is invaluable, as by its action on the throat and lungs,,
i when taken in small quantities it removes all hoarse
ness in a few hours, and wonderfully increases the pow
er and flexibility of tho voice.
ASTHMA, is generally much relieved, and often
wholly cured by Cherry Pectoral. But there are some
eases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no medicine.
Cherry Pectoral will cure them, if they can be cured.
KKONCIims, or irritation of the throat and u ppm
portion of the lungs, may he cured by taking
Pectoral in small and frequent doses. Tlie uncomfort
able oppression is soon relieved.
Rev. Dr. LANSING, of Brooklyn. New York, states:—
a I have seen the Cherry Pectoral cure such cases of
Asthma and Bronchitis as leads me to believe it can
rarely fail to cure those diseases.”
FOR CROUP. Give ail emetic of antimony, to he fol
lowed by large and frequent doses of the Cherry Pecto
rill, until it subdues the disease. If taken in season, it
will not fail to cure.
WHOOPING COUGH may be broken up and soon
cured by the use of Cherry Pectoral.
THE INFLUENZA is speedily removed by this reme
dy. Numerous instances have been noticed wlieie
whole families were protected from any serious conse
quences, while their neighbors, without the Cherry
1 Pectoral, were suffering from the disease.
| Doct. J. C. Ayer:— Salem, Ohio, lltli June,lßsl.
I write to inform you of the truly remarkable effect
: of your Cherry Pectoral in this place, and in my own
j family. One of my daughters was completely cured id
i three days of a dreadful Whooping Cough, by taking
'it. Dr. Means, one of our very best physicians freely
| states that he considers it the best remedy we have for
pulmonary diseases, and that he bas cured more eases
of Croup with it than any other medicine lie ever ad
ministered.
I Our Clergyman of the Baptiste Church says that du
| ring the run of Influenza here this season, lie] has seen
cures from your medicine lie could scarcely have be
lieved without seeing.
Yours respectfully, J- B- SINCLAIR,
Deputy Postmaster.
From the distinguished Professor of Chemistry and

I have found the Cherry Pectoral, as its ingredients
show, "a powerful remedy' for colds, and coughs, and pul -

•• It gives me much pleasure to certify the value and
efficacy of ; Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,’ which I consider
peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and
Lungs.'’
Cures of severe diseases upon the Lungs hare been ef
fected by Cherry Pectoral in such extreme cases as war
rant the belief that a remedy has at length been found
thutcan be depended on to cure the Coughs, Colds and I
Consumption which carry' from our midst thousands 1
every year. It is indeed a medicine to which tlie as- I
dieted can look with confidence for relief, and they'
