THE FEDERAL UNICN. Cornti oJ Hancock and ffilktnson Streets.j Wednesday Morning. June 26. 1872. BAf.DtVIN. Tim CHRONiritK A »R«- T1NRI. AND THE FEDERAL. UNION. Those men in Georgia who are Gree- levites per se are very illiberal towards those who don’t go with them, but call on everybody to be very liberal with them in their apostacy to Demo cratic principles. In au editorial not long ago, the Chronicle & Sentinel, (we were told,) asserted that the Brooks county delegates should not be admitted to the State Convention be cause the meeting in which they were chosen declared themselves against supporting Horace Greeley. As this dogma of favoring Horace Greeley, had never before bean considered a cardinal principle of Democracy, we took occasion to question the authority by which it was so pompously an nouuced. We saw that many who had figured largely in the Greeley meeting in Richmond had often before tried very hard to break up the Demo- cra ic party by leading off after strange gods ; and we fear greatly that some of them think they have seen Sam again in the shape of the white-coat ed philosopher of the New York 'Tri bune. The Chronicle & Sentinel boasts of the statesmen Richmond county has sent into the councils of the State and the warriors she has sent into the field. We have not forgotten, nor will the people of Georgia soon forget, the statesmen which Richmond has sent to her councils. She has sent us Bui lock, both of the Blodgetts, both of the Conleys, and Ephraim Tweedy. The Democracy of Baldwin do not boast of her colored statesmen elected since the war. As the colored people of Baldwin outnumber the whites about two to one, to them belongs all the honor or dishonor of electing our present negro representatives. If they have not become as lenowned as the men sent from Richmond — Bul lock, Conley & Co.—it is not their fault, we presume they did the best they could. Far be it from us to de tract one drachm from the praise just ly due to those gallant sons of Rich mond who fought so bravely in the late war. We know that the editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel and Fos ter Blodgett were conspicuous among them, and we would not pluck one feather from the tall plume which adorns their crests. We hope they will live long to wear their blushing honors. It is also right that the peo ple of Georgia should remember that the editor of the Chronicle & Senti nel, in these times that tried men’s souls, did not hesitate to declare him self Governor of that portion of the State lying east of the Oconee river, and issue his proclamations according ly, but neither Governor Brown, nor the people of Georgia seemed to ap predate his disinterested patriotism. We can assure our friend of the Chron icle that we were exempted from mil itary duty, even uuder the Conscrip tion, by a higher power than Gov. Brown. We advise our respected friend of the Chronicle not to put too much confidence in the assurances of his correspondent “Baldwin.” He came up to the defence of the Richmond meeting because he loved Greeley, but he knows but little about the Democ racy of Baldwin county. His own democracy is more than doubted, it is fishy, and his motto is, anything to burst up the democracy. Tn« Tables Turned—Fulton County Represented by True Dem ocrats.— A few fishy Democrats led by Ben Hill met in Atlanta and by a trick elected a GreeFy ticket with Ben Hill at the head to misrepresent Fultoncounty in the State Convention The real Democracy met last Satur day and elected another set of dele gates. The first or Ben Hill meeting elected their men by 114 votes the second or real Democrats elected theirs by S09. This shows which ticket represents the Democracy of Fulton county. An Unprecedented Wheat Crop. —From all > arts of the county, the gratifying n ws is that the wheat crop will exceed in quality and quan tity that of any previous year lor a quarter of a century past—evt n the famous \ield ot 1857 not excepted.— And what is true of Knox county seems to be gener 11v true of East Tennessee. The quality of the wheat is certifinly excellent. We have on our table two bunches of heads from the fields ot Messrs. Thomas R. Crook- shanks and Jes c e E. Williams, near Concord, which for the number of grains, fullness of development and length of head, exceed anything of the kind we have ever seen. They are truly symbolical of plenty. Lust year, our wheat crop was pretty much a failure, as was the corn crop and it is gratifying, that with our present exuberant yield, the mar ket opens so encouragingly. We have already mentioned sales of choice crops at $1.50 per bushel, for delive Ty on the 1st of July. We hear ol large orders | roni the North being re ceived in our city lor East Tennessee wheat—some say f or 200.000 bushels —but we have not learned satisfactori ly that this is true. In our county, we have beard of no wheat that has been impaired by the rust, and the fine weather now prevailing ussure* safety in gathering the grain ready lot threshing.—Knoxville Frees, 16th. BEN IIII.I,. We have a few remarks to m;;ke about this gentleman and his speech. To a man who knows nothing of Ben Hill’s past, history, there are portions of his speech ot June 14th that would strike him as impressively grand, but when we know the mao, very differ ent is the conclusion arrived at about him. That Mr. Hill is an able man all will admit: but that he is an hon-j . ! est politician none can positively af- j firm. Ben Hill is both a keen reason-! er and sophist. No man knows better j how to turn that which is a real disad vantage into a seeming favor than he;j and if allowed a half showing he is calculated to pass himself off as a po litical messenger from Heaven itself. Ben Hill is smart,- but Ben Hill is not to be trusted. Hear him! “ History will adjudge that when we hurried unprepared and in passion in to secession, we made the movement which destroyed the partisan power of the South in the government. And yet that movement was admirably made to secure Southern independence and promote Southern power, and every man who could not approve it was denounced as a traitor to his sec tion. History will declare, w’hen all the facts are known, that the internal dissensions created by the quarrel Kept up with their own side by distinguish ed men in the Confederacy, did more to bring on Southern defeat and hu miliation than all the armies of Grant and Sherman. Yet that war was made by Confederates on the Confederate Government avowedly in the name ot liberty, and every man who united in giving earnest and unmurmuring sup port to our leaders in the field and in the Cabinet were denounced as the enemies of liberty, seeking to estab lish a military despotism.” There we have have a fair sample of Benjamin H. Hill’s powers. See how covertly he attacks “distinguish ed men,” leaving his listeners to infer that A. H. Stephens, and those who now oppose his Greeley ideas were the men. But who was the d-i-stinguished man that failed to support a great leader in the field, and used personal violence on a great Senator while the Senate was in secret secession. That a extraordinary dissentor was B. H. Hill. He it was that must needs poke him self into Gen. Joe Johnston’s military operations, and becuuse he could not control him, must needs put for Rich mond, ominous as a raven, croaking relieve him—relieve him—relieve him. Unfortunate for us was the day when Hill got control of the ear of Jefferson Davis. Johnston was re lieved, and alas how lamentable the re sult—and Sherman’s march through the South was Ben Hill’s achievement. Again, we find that by using per sonal violence he caused the death of Win. L. Yancey ; and yet he can speak so eloquently, so calmly, so dispassion ately about “internal dissentions by distinguished men.” We are sorry and grieved that we should thus be compelled to chronicle a distinguished man of the South, but as the time is coming when the peo ple will cast around them for a leader, they should be forewarned ; and never can Ben Hill be our leader. Too full of uncertainties, moving hither and thither, a very “ wandering Arab” in politics—first soond and then unsound —we cannot trust him. He says bury the dead issues of the past; but he always takes care to parade what he considers his wisdom in the past. He takes care to tell how he warned the South against secession. He takes care to tell how he saw the State was going to be reconstructed, and how he v' ent where he could prevent it, and he even l as to tell how he forestalled poor Vallandighsm by a few months about the New Departure. He takes care not to tell about the great dissentions he built up during the Confederacy. He takes care not to tell how when he went ‘where’ to save the State from reconstruction, that his ‘where’ was affiliation with Bullock and his crew, and he doesn’t tell how he and Bullock and Joe Brown ate out of the same saucer, custard plate, or what ever it was, first one and then the oth er, and using the same spoon. And now a few words to the people. We believe that we aie in honor bound to abide by the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, and which ever way it goes we credit to the wishes of the people, to a mighty up rising of the people, be it Greeley or anybody else, and we credit nothing to B. H. Hill, although he says he forestalled Valiandighatn by a few months; we do not know whether he did or not; we have told some of his doings that we do know though. Democratic unity must be preserv ed, and we may be criticised lor our having chronicled Mr. Hill, by some of the luke warm. Our answer is, that only Democrats can preserve De mocratic unity—that he who while declaring himself a Demociat, is at the same time ied by his vanity to proclaim himself as being the fath er of the New Departure—having fore stalled Vailandigham by a few months he says—that he who aspires to be a Democrat in Georgia and a Liberal Republican in New York—that he who claims to be a Democrat, and at the same time makes a carpet-bagger of himself, can never be a man to help preserve Democratic unity Let us preserve those Democratic principles that have preserved us, and tear no man, be he Grant or his “ Grand-daddy.” t San Juan.—Berlin, June 12.—The British Embassy unexpectedly pre sented on the J 0th instant to Empe ror William, who is the arbitrator un der the treaty of Washington, their answer to the American case on the San Juan boundary question. Mr. Bancroft submitted his replication yes terday. The Emperor will deliver his decision soon, as both parties request it. THE DE.HUCB.IO' OF FULTON UOl'N TV IN A 1WUHN. We learn from the Atlanta papers that the once united and compact Democracy of Fulton county are broken into fragments and ready to devour each other. This misht have been expected when Ben Hill was called into council. Ben hates the Democracy, and will never let a chance slip of injuring the party. For many years he foBglit them openly, but finding he could not injure them in a fair open tight he chose the more effectual way of killing off the party by joining it. The advent of Ben Hill among the Democracy has been productive of evil, and only evil con tinually. He has been like a Pandora’s box to the Democracy, with one ex ception : there is no hope at the bot tom of his box of evils, except the hope of getting rid of him. Mi. Hill knows that the Democracy have no confidence in him, and he therefore wishes to destroy the party, and form a new party on its ruins, and of that new party he hopes to be a leader. The Democracy must be under some strong delusion when they select such men as Ben Hill and Horace Greeley for leaders. Men who have been life long enemies to the Democracy and all of its cherished principles. In nearly every county in the State Mr. Hill has some obsequious admirers who follow in his footsteps and sym pathise with him in his efforts to break up and destroy the Democratic party. These men are always on the look out (or a chance to divide the Demo cracy in hopes they may be able to rule at least a portion o f it. They are always anxious to obtain office, and pretend to be Democrats only for the sake of office, and if they can obtain that, they don’t care what becomes of the party. Let such men be watched. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. For the Democracy to put such men in office is like placing wolves to guard sheep. TIMES CHANCE AND .MEN CIHNGE WITH THEM, BUT PBIxNCTPL.ES NEVER. The above saying needs no stronger confirmation than the present politi cal revolution through which we are passing; for flatter ourselves as we may, it is a revolution, and one that will revolutionize many of our oldest couvictions, beginning with the des truction of the Democratic party, and warring upon those principles we have ever been taught to rely upon. We repeat it, the destruction of the Democratic party, in the event of its coalition with tneLiberal Republicans, is inevitable ; for the moment that is an accomplished fact, it becomes a yielding party, beginning with a re linquishment of some of its principles, and history teaches us that when a few infringements are allowed, a great many others are not slow to follow. There is never any use in denying a fact, and although we may strive not to believe it, the results will be the same. Even now, men who dare not avow it openlv are whispering among themselves that the days of the Demo cratic party are numbered with the past. We are opposed fo this surrender ; we have fought and are fighting against it. We have cried out to our people, but if they will go we are go ing with them. One year ago, although tired of usurpations, and desirous of change, it would have been impossible to per suade the people that a majority of the Southern Democracy could be led to the support of such a man as Ho- r ce Greeley ; yet such is the fact, and it is oue that wiil admit of no dis- ATI.A.VTIC AND GREAT WESTERN CANAL. Col. B. W. Frobel, who has been foi jduce war, and that with a war the des truction of slavery would be an ac complished fact, and it is true that no man did more to fill up the ranks of!some time in Washington City repre- Lincoin’s coercionists than Horace senting the interests of Atlanta in tin Greeley Horace Greeley moulded the war Democrats of the North during the war into Abolitionists. “ It is neces sary to free the slaves in order to bring the South back into the Union,” whs his rallying cry, and by it he car ried the thousands to his standpoint. Now he says that it is necessary for the Democratic party to abandon its principles in order to defeat Grant; and as if some mighty impulse urged them onward, they take him at his bidding. Where does Horace Greeley come to the relief of the principles that’have guided all true Democrats upon any one point ? With the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments Congress made its great passage outside of the Constitu tion to oppress the Southern people, and Mr. Horace Greeley now most positively recommends, and in his po sition emphatically states that we must accept those amendments, and his reason is, that it is necessary to adopt them if we wish to beat Grant. With the relinquishment of its prin ciples the Democratic party makes its great passage as a party into eternity, only to be heard of as a thing of the past, and if sticking to principle is honor, then all of the sophistry upon the face ot this earth lumped iuto one man’s brain can never make us believe that we act honorably in voting for or supporting Horace Greeley for what we see he has done, when we review his past history. It the Democratic Convention to meet at Baltimore proclaims that it is expedient for us to drop our party garb during this presidential cam paign in order to render our prin ciples victorious; then that Conven tion wiil have determined the ques tion of expediency, and we shall abide by its decision, even if it decides to favor Greeley; not because we can honorably support Greeley as Greeley ; not because of Ben Hill’s sophistry by which he would convince us that Gree ley has no blemish. But because we believe that we are in honor bound to abide by the decision of the great Democratic Baltimore Convention. There is one feature of the present political condition of this country that is well worth noting, and it is this: The will of the people carries the poli ticians along; they have arrived at their conclusions without them, and that conclusion is to abide by the Bal timore Convention, for weal or woe. There is one thing that we pledge ourselves to remain true to during the.se times of expediency, and that is the Constitution given us by our fath ers. We shall not cease to make war on all the violators of that Constitu tion, and we intend to stand upon those true Democratic principles that are alone capable of battling with the transgressors, and lastly, we never expect to be led by any men who have been “ hail fellow well met” with the Radical party, and who have eaten from the same saucer with his bovine infernal excellency Bullock, fiirstthe one and then the others, using the same spoon. t Is He Eligible?—We would like to know if Hon. B. H. Hill is a citizen of Fulton county ? When called upon to make returns of his property in Fulton county, did not he. or some member of his family, decline upon the ground that he is a citizen of Clark county, and not liable to taxation here ? We ask for infor mation. When a petition, asking the City Council to dona'e or loan $50,000 to Oglethorpe College, was presented to •Mr. Hill for his signature, did he not decline to sign it upon the ground that lie was not a citizen of this county? Did he not say he approved of the measure, and that the Council ought to comply with the request; and that were he a citizen of ot this j lace, he would sign it cheerfully ? We ask for information.—Atlanta Sun. pute. Having, by a coalition with the Lib eral Republicans, become the yielding party, there can be no end of Demo cratic concessions until there is noth ing left of the party, and we may yet be taught by some of the extrava gantly wise, that the robber who res cues one from the wolf, and then mur ders him in his own house afterwards, is none the less a friend for having done so. We are opposed to a coalition with the Liberal Republicans, for it means our destruction. We are not opposed to the Democrats giving their inde pendent power for the purpose of crushing out all manner of corruption, provided they preserve themselves in tact and unbroken, but more of this hereafter. It is not strange that a people sway as the wind, and no man can account for the motives of the multitude until they are centered for a time on one idea; but just at that juncture some one rises and majestically claims the credit of having led them there, and says that had it not been for his self- sacrifice they would have been lost— had it not been for his immolation they would have been destroyed—had it not been for his joining with thieves and robbers they would have been plundered, and then with his burden of sins weighty enough to mash earth’s mightiest empire out of existence, he proclaims himself the only leader ca pable of insuring them a future of safety. It is true that Horace Greeley was a fanatical abolitionist, if is true that he preached bloody insurrectioi, and the murder of women and children before tbe war, and was old John Brown’s steadfast friend It is true that “old John Brown’s ghost is a marching along” is one of his favorite songs, it is true that he eucouraged se cession, believing that it would pro- “The Way it Will Work.—Grant’s re-election, next Noveint>er, will, in all probability, secure him a life-long lease of the President’s office, with power to trample upon every right of the South, and to set at naught every principle of justice. Do you desire this ?” We take the foregoing from the Au gusta Constitutionalist of the 16th inst. The way to secure Grarit’s election is for the Baltimore Convention to nominate Greeley If there are only two candidates in the field, and these two are Grant and Greeley, Grant will, in all probability, be elected by perhaps the largest majority that any President ever received. Either Grant or a sound Democrat will be the next President. This is our solemn conviction. Greeley stands no chance whatever, under any cir cumstances. Those who are trying to induce Democrats to support Greeley are playing into the hands of Grant. Those who are saying anything calculated to reconcile Democrats to support Greeley under any circumstances, are thereby strengthening Grant’s chances. Gree ley can't beat Grant. No power on Tiarth can bring enough support to Greeley to make him Presideut; and everything that weakens the Democracy strengthens Grant. Herein is every Democratic supporter or apologist for Greeley—unconsciously it may be— contributing to the success of Grant The issue is not Grant or Greeley, but Grant or a Democrat.

We are gratified to learn from him that the enterprise meets with general favor from the government at Washington, and that the prospect of an early in auguration of the work is very good. The President expressed himself as lully satisfied of its national impor tance, and the necessity of Govern ment aid in some shape being granted to it. But for the fact that the Report of the Engineer, in charge of the sur vey of the proposed line, did not reach the War Department until a day or two befpre the adjournment of Con gress, he would have laid the whole matter before that body in a special message. This, however, will be done at the opening of the next session. The report of the survey is very sat isfactory to the friends of the move ment. Its results may be summed up in a few words : That the Canal is emi nently practicable—that it will never be obstructed by ice—will have an abundance of water during the whole year—that produce passing over it will never suffer loss from heat or mois ture—that no trans-shipments will be necessary—that it will afford the short est outlet from the West to the Ocean, and that it will pay»for itself in a few all such unnecessary rashness, if it does lot question the integrity ot the prin ciples which instigate it. In this view, we can but lament and deplore the unfortuuate opposition by which the Mesars. Stephens, General Toombs, and other houored and usual co-laborers, are seeking to forestall or impede the majority action of the na tional Democracy shortly to convene at Baltimore. In many respects their op position can effect no possible good, while it seems not only wild, iutemper ate and stljish, and combines much of the ‘rule or ruiu’ element that has not unfrequently signalized the political lives of two ol the triumvirate, and no little of the third. There was a time when we believed Judge Stephens confided in the judgment of his more experienced and conservative brother ; but, of late, we have thought that the strong accord of the Judge wrth Gen. Toombs 'aut Ccesar aut nullus' position, has changed that relation in no incon siderable degree ; and if we are not greatly at lault in our reckoning, we must locate the Hon. A. H. S. in close approximation. As to Gen. Toombs, we deprecate him as a leader, when concessions or compromises are advis able, and neither dishonorable or im politic. His rashness is beyond con trol ; and his opiniativeness exces sively rigid and turbulent. Still he has redeeming traits, and the unalloyed scorn he indulges toward knaves and rascals, is far Irorr being the least; whilst his mental grasp—Belial-like— “ to make the worse appear the better reason”—charms and seduces, even when you know he is hopelessly in the wrong !

A very distinguished member of Congress said to one of the delega tion recently there, “that the fact that Georgia had turned her attention to matters like this, was the strongest evidence that her people had cast aside the dead issues of the past and were even now acting upon a new era of life and prosperity,” at which he ex pressed great satisfaction. The President remarked to Col. Fro- bel that this work “ was practical re construction." In these views we lully concur, and look forward with pleas ure to the mutual kindly feelings which a renewal of commercial rela tions and prosperity will surely bring, when we can one and all say “ let us nave peace,” and in good faith act out what we say. For the Federal Union. HORACE BREELET-1V*. 3. So far, we have not recommeuded nor intimated what attitude the De mocratic party as a unit, should as sume towards the Cincinnati nominees. Our range has been confined to a re view ot Mr. Greeley’s political life— to his antagonism to Southern inter ests, and to an expression of the uni versal indignation which Southerners entertain and are justified in feeling, for a man whose whole manhood has been devoted to malicious hostilities, and the gratuitous defamation of their public officers, their constitutional rights and civil institutions! It h true, his field of operation was, with a few exceptions, in character of the private citizen—engaged, however, as a public journalist, partizan writer and moral (?) lecturer—for all of which we have spurned in our ‘heart of hearts’ the hypocritical assassin and hired merceriifty Hessian: more especially, that he now comes to us begging alms, as it were, for having applied the torch to our homesteads and bayonets to our bosoms! But we have defer red to the higher responsibility that is involved in the decisive and final ac- tioo of our party’s delegated and trust worthy agents, and postponed, to more favorable opportunities, any expres sion of preference for what we may re gard the wisest course. Every day has multiplied the Democratic power and its possible absolute control of the next Presidential election ; and every day has also added to the difficulties which surround the faithful and pat riotic exercise of the sacred duty. VVe have regretted, and view with great solicitude, the existence ot these un toward influences; because they threaten the equilibrium which should be preserved in order that the wished for end may come. We do not doubt, however, that the ‘ancients’ of the party, its cooler, wiser heads and un selfish leaders, will be able to act with discreetness and firmness—looking alone to that love of country, and the inviting prospects which promise re form of abuses, the arrest of cocrup- tion and the re-instatementof our State and Federal usages, as their highest incentives and most deserved reward ! The times and all the circumstances, are auspicious for our political, social and moral -redeir ption ; and far too imposing, to allow mere personal feel ings or minor considerations to barri cade their glorious consummation. We are admonished, if not commanded, to lay aside our party-pride and individ ual preferences, (or our country’s hon or and salvation. We should not risk the continuance of U. S. Grant to any imaginary strength inherent in the Democratic organization, when by ac cepting, or affiliating with increased chances, the issue is made more pro bable, if not undoubtedly certain. Good generalship forbids and ignores attended by high excitement and, pos sibly, angry discussions. It is scarce ly to be expected that the State Dem ocratic Convention, now at hand, will escape the fury of the few : and since the announcement of the ultimatum of the Quitman County Democracy so called, it is doubtful whether our State organization can be maintained in tact! It is, however an immaterial matter, if the great national body itself, be not broken into fragments, by the Quit man Democrats unfortunately spiking their guns and refusing all further co operation ! But seriously and in friend ly, respectful earnestness, we regard all such circumscribed, sectional or lo cal '■strikes' as unbecoming and un w holesome to that fealty which is the lile of all party organizations. Cor porals and sergeants may do well in their several positions—but when each one aspires to be the Generalisimo aud acts accordingly, reasonable fear may well be felt tor the successful issue ot the battle. No one has greater antip athies for the Radical Farty proper, than the writer of this and previous numbers. Of all its several members, Charles Sumner excepted, he despises and loathes Horace Greeley ; but as it is believed that his peculiar position amongst the Liberal Republicans— aided by a united Democratic vote, will be the most feasible to redeem our country from its disgrace and ruin — we yieid our feelings and violated rights in the past, to the common good —to the Liberal Republican Reform ers—and wiil work to secure that above all contingencies whatsoever—provided, that Greeley’s candidateship is accept ed and recommeuded by the Baltimore Convention ! The aim of that bo y is to demolish r Bel's Dragon' by a con centration of forces specially impro vised, to hurl Ulysses S. Grant from power, and to REFORM our national affairs generally aud generously! Our Platform therefore is a blank—a mere •carte blanch’ to any honest organiza tion that bus its moiety of strength to clean e the Augean stables! There should be no stumbling blocks—no iiair splitting distinctions without dif ferences, and no useless contentions about petrified abstractions- These met- apliysical-like eliminations are, tor the nonce, steeped in an armistice. Last ot all—our sister States of South Caroliua, Mississippi and Ar kansas, challenge our sympathy and appeal to us to threw away all lesser and private considerations, that some amelioration may result to their de graded and impoverished conditions ! If upon no other inducements*, these appeals should shape our course. ‘•Remember, eacl> his sentence waits : And be that shall rebut Sweet mercy—on him the gates Of mercy shall be shut.' 1 Impartial.

BULL’S Why Pork Declines.—The Cin cinnati Price Current says: “ The large number of hogs coming into the lead ing markets in the YVest have a de pressing influence upon the provision trade, and not only this, but in this matter the trade is much disappointed, because it was supposed by most, if not all, engaged in the pork business, that alter the regular pork packing had been ended, the country would have been pretty well clear of hogs, but as the sequal has shown, this was simply the reverse of what was the case, and the number of hogs then held by farmers exceeded far that of any previous season. Thus the re ceipts ot live aud dressed hogs at Chi cago, from March 4th to May 20th, reach 522,118—an increase over the corresponding period of last year of 276,572. The receipts at Cincinnati, from March 9th to May 25th, reach 105,017—an increase of 58,291 over the corresponding year. Here it is an increase of rather over 100 per cent, for the time not yet quite three months, the aggregate receipts at both places being 657,135.

I have been burut. blistered and cupped until I bad become disheartened.

I had suffered terribly with a most acute pain in the riglii side of my head, especially when I would read or write, for any length of time, aud on nsiug to my teef I would be periectly bltud toe several minutes, and would have to buld to something to prevent failing. 1 am most happy to inform yon that the pain in my head is eutirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my spine and tlieu not so acutely- My appetite is good indeed for the first time in my life i enjoy my dinner more than auy meal during tbe day. You kindly sent me four bottles aga : n last night, and 1 began agaiu this morning, and 1 hope to he en tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks aad best wishes. Very truly yoar most grateful friend, M. B. C. Rivers. My ienmal abounds with similar letters, all of which 1 guarantee to be genuine and written by tha> persons whose names they bear. Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don't bo drawn away after new and doubiful experiments. Don't risk your health oy letting novices experiment upon you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has stood the test tor twenty five years , it is still the Sarsaparilla ol the day, and of the age, towering over all others ia popularity aud its cuiative qualities. Avoid all those who are trying to palin off on you other extracts of sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr- Juba Bull's Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the old and reliable remedy tor impurities of the blood and scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.
