The receipts, so far, foot up close to a quarter of a million, and the cotton year is only six weeks old The wharf front yesterday attracted <juite a crowd of jieople. All day long there •were people strolling along looking at. the shipping Such a large fleet of fine ocean steamers is something that ts not to be seen in any port south of New York. The police surprised a party of negro gamblers yesterday plating cards in the alleyway between Bay and River streets, known as Factors walk. The gamblers e% raped by jumping down into the lower alleyway, a distance of fifteen feet, and were soon out of sight. It is gratifying to notice that the number of saloons in winch liquor is a id on Sun day is decreasing. .Several wei known cor ner groceries, where, until lately, a stream of colored men could tie seen going in and coming out of the side gates on Sunday, are apparently respecting the law. “LORD" PAGET OWNS UP. He Telle Some of His Experiences at Newport and Larchmont. The bogus English Lord and confidence crook, Ernest A. C. Paget, alias Charles Evelyn Wood, alias Charles Manners, alias Guerson, who created such a stir in New port and other Northern watering places last, summer, and who stopped at Savannah on his way South, is now serving a thirty dav> sentence in flie New Orleans police jail as a dangerous and suspicious character. The account of Paget's airest was given in the Morvin’i. Nkws several days ago. The first attempts to draw" him out after be was arrested failed. He had very little to say about himself, and refused to talk except todeny that he was the individual described as Paget. Ijetters which come addressed to Paget were refused by him. After awhile though, he became com municative, and related some of his exiieri ences. He said that he had adopted the name of Paget lsvau.se it was that of a very prominent English family, and would doubtless give him the entree into society. He had a jolly, good time at lioth Newport, It. 1., and Larchmont, another watering place, which he dewTilies a- most beautiful At Larchmont he hired a yacht, the Ger aldine. a oat-rigged boat, paying #lO a week for the rent of the boat, lie bought a dog cart and a tedm of fine horses, which he drove tandem. He sailed over to Newport from Larchmont and avers that he was re ceived with open arms, was admitted to the best society and the clubs, and that night went to a hall at the Casino, where he was introduced to everytsxly of consequence. The next day he was fairly besieged by invitations to visit the best families there, and was kept busy answer ing the* invitations. Affairs went on swimmingly until the Duke of Marlborough arrived, who knew- him personally and that h was not what he represented himself to be. He then concluded to Dave Newport rather than meet his distinguished country man. His finances were just then at then lowest ebb and he left his bills unpaid and Skipped. Hr is now very anxious to get out of jail and to shake the dust of the United States from his feet forever. IT WAS LOADED. Johnnie Lueders Shot While Trying to Look Through a Loaded Rifle. Johnnie Lueders looked into the muzzle of a loaded rifle yesterday and now lie wil be laid up for some time with a wound in bis jaw. Johnnie was with his father and younger brother over on Hutchinson’s Island. He had a small target rifle, and had been shooting at a mark. After loading the rifle he set it down, and with a stick pulled back the hammer anil looked into the muz zle to see if he could see through the loaded I tile. The stick slipped off the hammer and the cartridge was discharged. The bullet struck Johnnie under the jaw and tore through the flesh, coming out just in front of his ear. His father and younger brother brought the lx>y across the river and took him to the City Dispensary. Dr. Cass ex amined the wound and sent the lioy to Dr. Dunn, who dressed it. The bullet was a small one and fortunately did not strike a vital spot. It. w ill probably lie a long time lof ore Johnnie will look into the muzzle of a loaded rifle again. READY TO GO TO TAMPA. No Trouble to Get Nurses for the Stricken Tampaites. The call which appeared in the Morning News yesterday for nurses to go to Tampa brought any number of applications. Dr. Duncan, to whom the call was addressed, said last night that b hail had a large num ber of applications from excellent nurses, and he will have no difficulty in securing all ! hat are needed. They reported to him by letter and in person. Thirteen applications were received at the City Dispensary, and among thorn was t lie offer of a well-known physician, who will go if physicians are ac tually needed. Dr. Duncan received no new:, from Tainpa yesterday, bid lie expects t< have some word from there to-day. There is little or no alarm fell here over the fever, and there is still a good deal of doubt whether it is yellow jack or dengue that is epidemic in Tampa. Savannah is too far a way and the season is too far ad vanced for any alarm to be felt in regard to the spread of the disease. Local Personal. Mr. Montgomery Comming, United States Civil Hervioo Examiner, who will conduct the erami'iallon here to-inorrow, is at the Pulaski House. The most beautifully trimmed Bonnets and Hals at Altrnayer’s. Opening Thurs day and Friday. J. J. ABRAMS DEAD. The Grim Reaper Cuts Down a Well- Known Member of the Bar. J. J. Abrams. Esq., died yesterday morn ing at 11:30 o'clock, after an illness of a few hours. He had not been well for some time fia.-t. and aliout a month ago he was con tinea to his room for a couple of weeks. Lately, however, he has been feeling better, and iie thought lie \va- rapidly recovering from his indisposition. The first intimation of his final illness oc curred while he was at breakfast at the Screven House Saturday morning He was sitting at a table eating some gran*—, after having finished his breakfast, and" was talking with some gentlemen who wen* at the table with him. Suddenly he grew pale. He reached for his cane and attempted to rise, but fell hack into his chair unconscious, He wa- removed to the parlo>- and Dr. Nichols wa- summoned. Re storatives were applied, and after awhile he regained his consciousness, but a hemor rhage from the stomach followed. He was removed to his nioni, where he lay in a critical condition all Saturday, and yes terday morning. shortly after 11 o'clock, another hemorrhage came on, and it proved fatal. His family were with him at the time of his death. His body was taken to the home of his father, on Jones street, where it is now lying. Mr. Abrams began life as a clerk with the old Ray street firm of C'lagbom & Cun ningham. and when he was about of ag-- he accepted a (sisition with the law firm of Hartridge & Chisholm, with whom he was reading when he was elected Justice of the Peace. During liis incumbency of that office he developed a natural aptitude for the law, and after a course of study he was admitted to the (>ar. He was very success ful in his profession, and he secured a prac tice which was large and remunerative. He was a member of the old fire department, and for many years he was the Secretary of the Metropolitan Steam Fire Engine Com pany. He was in bis 43d year, and at the time of his death he was engaged to be married to a most estimable lady in ’ nns wjek. His funeral will be announced to morrow. TEN DAYS AT THE PUMPS. The Bark Eliza J. McManemy Puts Into Port in Distress. The bark Eliza J. McManemy put into Tyboe yesterday in distress and is leaking. She left Pascagoula Sept. 13, bound for Philadelphia, with a cargo of lumber, and had been out twenty-three days. During the past ten days the crew has been kept constantly at the pumps. The vessel was spoken on Saturday night aliout ten miles off Tybee by "the pilot boat Sprite, Capt. Michael Lyons, who did a very clever piece of work in piloting her into Tybee without going aboard of her. When spoken, the captain of the bark stated that one of his crew was sick with chills and fever and this fact prevented the pi lot, from boarding her. The captain of the bark was afraid that his vessels would fill with water if the crew ceased working at the pump. The men were already pretty well exhaust ed, the three putnjis having l>een going for ten days and Pin nights, and the pilot!>oat of fered to lay-by all night, and finally agreed to pilot the vessel into Tybee, she follow ing in the wake of the pilotlsiat, and by the waving of lights. The bark was run ashore on a mud bank in the channel, just above Tybee wharf. She had live feet of water in her hold last night. The captain will do nothing until he bears from the vessel’s owner, Capt. J. B. Fennimore, of Philadel phia, to whom he telegraphed yesterday. better Signals needed. An International Maritime Convention to be Called. The holding of an International Maritime Convention to improve the defective sys tem of fog signals is being agitated by mari ners and vessel owners. The present regu lations require that in fog or mist a steam ship under way shall make with her steam w histle, or other steam sound signal, at in tervals of not more than two minutes, a prolonged blast: a sailing vessel under way shall make with her fog-horn, at intervals of not more than two minutes, when on the starboard tack one blast, when on the port tack two blasts in succession, and when with the wind abaft the beam three blasts in succession: a steamship and sailing ship when not under way shall, af intervals of not more than two minutes, ring the liell. The defect of the signals is that tnoy do not indicate the course of the ship. Anew code which will indicate whether the vessel is moving north, south, east, or west is needed. NOT AFRAID OF YELLOW JACK. What an Advertisement in the “Want” Column Brought Out. \\yANTED, a man who lias been through yet low fever epidemic to go to Tainpa and guard store. Address quick. Y. B. C., this office. This advertisement appeared iu the “Want” column of the Morning News yesterday. Before noon sixteen sealed re plies were received at the Mousing News counting room and there were five pei-sonal applications. The notice cost the advertiser 34c., and he got his money’s worth out of it. The fact of so large a mmilier of applications being received for the place is pretty good evi dence that the reported yellow fever will not keep outsiders away from Tampa if it does drive into the woods’a good many peo ple who are already there. “Y. B. C.” will have very little trouble in getting his store guarded if yellow fever is the only obstacle in the way. NOTEB ABOUT THE HARBOR. Happenings Among the Shipping and Along the Wharves. The Norwegian bark Frey. Capt, Abrahamson, from Liverpool for Charles ton, was simken yesterday thirty-five miles South of Tybee. The British steamship Carthagena ar rived yesterday from Philadelphia. She will probably load cotton for Liverpool. She is a very large vessel being 1,533 tons net register. The work of discharging the steamship Naples is still going on, hut the stench from the cotton is almost intolerable, and the workmen say that it will not Im surprising if it does not create sickness among the longshoremen and the crew. The Resolute’s hold is also in a very filthy condition, from the same cause. Although all the cotton has boon discharged, the smell is very bad. The Fight Over the Site. Editor Morning News: If proximity to the miriness portion of the city and price of lot be desiderata, rather than have these factions extinguish themselves like the Kil kenny cats, i can name a position that will answer all purposes—th<Dimran residence, corner Bryan and Aberrorn streets, contain ing two lots and the adjoining lot on Rrvan, all of which can be secured for about $30,000 or less. There is anude room in every way to suit the requirements and meet the conditions of the government—lßo feet on Bryan by 00 feet on Alioreorn. Why not make a move for this, if the saving of 337,000 in the purchase of the ground is an object! Sassafras. The Havana Cyclone. The cyclone which was reported off Havana on Friday was felt at Key West yesterday, and a heavy rain was reported from there last night. Signal Officer Banner says that the storm will hardly touch here. It will most likely be dissipated at sea. The Western Gulf stations have felt its influence, however, and high winds are reported. Don’t fail to attend Altmayor's grand opening Thursday and Friday. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER lfi, 1887. SOME FAST RUNNING. The Fastest Time Ever Made by a Southern Railroad. Railroads all over the South are just now all claiming the credit of having made the fastest time on record. The South Carolina railway has just made a record that is pretty hard to lieat. The run was made last week from Columbia to Charleston. It was at the time of the landslide at Saluda, and the train was run as a special to bring down the delayed passengers from Asheville. The train left Columbia at 1413 p. ni. with engine number No. hi in front of it, and Engineer Brisnenden at the lever, and rolled into the Charleston depot at 3:53, making the distance of 130 miles in 170 minutes, in cluding eight stop*. This record for long distance running has probably never been surpassed at the South, exec] >t in one instance on the Georgia rail road. It was during the Blaek-Cnlquitt campaign for United States Senatorship, says the Augusta Chronicle, when Maj. Black was to address the members of the 1 legislature. A special train was made up for a number of citizens who wished to go iqi to hear him. The trip from Augusta to Atlanta, a distance of it 1 miles, was made in three bout's and twenty-five minutes, with nine stops, seven of them long ones. From Conyers to Atlanta, a distance of thirty-one nnlps, six stations were passed and the run made in thirty-four minutes. This is the liest known record made in the South, but it is very little ttetter than that made by the South Carolina road. In the ease of the latter eight stop* were made, one of seven, one of four minutes, and the rest of one minute each, so that the actual running time was 153 minutes. The dis tance from Columbia to Orangeburg, s*l miles, was made in fifty-one minutes. The best known record for long distance running on the Atlantic Coast Line was made last winter by a delayed fast mail train, which covered the distance of 165 miles between Weldon and Wilmington in 308 minutes. The special relief train sent out from Charleston by the Northeastern railroad on the night of the disaster at the Santee trestle, sped on its mission at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. The dis tance from Ashley Junction to Monck's Corner, twenty-four and a half miles, was run in twenty-five minutes. The train con sisted of two coaches and an engine. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Supts. Starr, of the Fort Royal and West ern Carolina railroad, Kline, of the South western railroad, and McClintock, of the Columbus and Western railroad, are in the city. Work on the eastern end of the new rail road will begin this morning about two mili from the Savannah, Florida and Western junction. The first camp will be pitched on the Owens plantation. Passenger representatives on all lines south of the Ohio river met on Friday with representatives of the Ohio river pool at the Grand Hotel in Cincinnati, for the purpose of conferring in regard to tourists’ rates to Florjda this season. The first case in which violation of the interstate law has been taken before a United States Court, instead of the com mission. is up in Minnesota. Complaint was made by a farmer, and a station agent was put under bonds to apiiear in the Dis trict Court. He would not transfer wheat from the Manitoba to the Northern Pacific tracks. Poor’s Railway Manual just, issued puts the total railroad mileage of the United States at the close of I*B6 at 133,607 miles. Its cost measured by the amount of stocks, bonds anil debt, was about $8,163,148,653. The gross earnings were $822,191,049, an in crease over 1885 of $56,881,530; the net earnings. $307,311,415, or 36.16 per cent, of the gross. For interest, $189,036,304, and for dividends, $81,654,138 were paid. There are two plans now being discussed to complete the Rome and Decatur railroad from Rome to Gadsden, by the parties in terested. One is to take up all the old bonds and issue new ones, and the bond holders to furnish money to complete the railroad, and the other is to appoint a re ceiver for the entire railroad, who will be authorized, with the consent of the credi tors, to issue certificates to complete the railroad. The work and present property of the road amounts to between $500,000 and $600,000. The salaries of presidents and general superintendents of railways range from $6,000 and SIO,OOO to $30,000, but these large sums are not considered enough to re munerate receivers appointed by courts to take charge of bankrupt roads for the bene fit of the creditors. This subject recently came tip in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis, when a claim of $113,500 for each was put in for the services of two re vivers appointed by the court for the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific railroad. The allowance made by the court was at the rate of $34,700 each per annum, the period of service having extended a little over two years. The Lumpkin Independent says that sev eral hundred bales of cotton were com pressed at Amerieus last week, preparatory to being shipped over the Amerieus, Pres ton and Lumpkin railroad to Abbeville, where it will In* loaded upon the company's steamer, and from thence it will be taken down the Oemulgee river, via Darien to Savannah. So, it remarks, we have at last a through line to Savannah over the Ameri cus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad and steamers. It is expected that by next week a through passenger train will be put on the line between Louvale and Abbeville. The Amerieus, Preston and Lumpkin may still lie called a baby but it is growing so fast that we think it entitled at least to the bondreeches. AT THE THEATRE. Mrs. D. P. Bowers aa "Queen Elizabeth" • To-Night. Mrs. D. P. Bowers supported hy an tal ented company will open a three nights’en gagement at the Theatre to-uight in “Queen Elizabeth.” To-morrow night she will pre sent “Madame Criesus.” At Wednesday’s matinee “Lady Audley's Secret” will be given, and on Wednesday night “Queen Eliz abeth will be repeated. Iu Charleston Mrs. Bowers lws just closed a very successful en gagement. The Ac it's and Courier critic says that her “Queen Elizabeth” is the creation of an artist of eminent dra matic powers. Her “Elizabeth” is the Elizabeth of Oiaceommetti’s play, and the key-notes of the character are sounded in the opening scene of the drama. As the sovereign she is to lie an eagle, as a woman she is to be alternately n butterfly or a viper. On these lines and within these lines Mrs. Bowers portrayed the “virgin” Queen with signal ability. She has a strong com pany. and the "ale of seats assures her good houses. Mrs. Bowers was I looked to appear here last season, but her wardrobe and those of her company were lost in the burn ing of the Augusta Theatre, and her dates were canceled.

Dave Mc- Keough caught finely. MeAleer was oiT in the i second game, but Andrews, Fuller, Phelan, Geiss and Cline did brilliant work. Cart wright although so lame that he could not run covered first base in both games in good style. Peltz was hurt in the morning and did not play in the evening. A feature in the evening game was the i-ontest for the Jennie Yeamans medal for the most runs. It became a due: between Bradley and Geiss and Geiss won it, scoring four runs and Bradley making three. The victory of Geiss was due mainly to Bradley’s terrific slugging, which was one of the features. Geiss got to first twice on tolls and once on Baker's muff.

What is Going on in Savannah’s Sister City. The municipal campaign has opened in Charleston. The ward primaries will be held Oct. 23. The congregation of the Emanuel Church of Charleston will visit Savannah on Saturday. The visit will be an excur sion for the benefit of the church building fund. There were eight applicants at the civil service examination in Charleston on Satur day. Six were women and two men. one of the latter being colored. They were examined by Mr. M. Comming, special examiner of the Civil Service Commission, two taking the general and six the limited examination. The general examination qualified for SI,OOO and $1,200 positions, while the limited examination is only for S9OO positions. New Designs in Jewelry. From the Baltimore Sun. In lace pins and brooches the favorite pat terns just now are in the shape of flowers, enameled in their natural colors and having either diamond dew drops or other gems set upon them. Some of the pansies lately shown are apparentjy too delicate to handle, so natural is the soft, velvety texture and color imitated by the enameler. Chrysan themums,bundles of white and purple violets, apple blossoms, primroses and begonias are the most popular of these goods. A peculiar pin is of oxidized silver and consists of three crescents placed lengthwise on a bar, the centre one being half an inch below the other two The surface of the crescent is hammered, and upon the centre one sits a solemn owl in repose with large topaz eyes. Within the crescent at the right is a flying silver bat, whose sparkling ruby eyes are extremely realistic. In the crescent at the left is shown a flying niglitha wk with eyes of snapping diamonds. A star sapphire in a daisy of diamonds also makes an exceed ingly handsome brooch, while bugs and beetles, whose bright colors are carried out on wings, body and thorax by gems of ap propriate color, can be seen in great variety. Advice to Those Traveling in SI eepers From the Medical and Surgical Reporter. For men a light cap, one that will cover over the ears, so as to serve as a nightcap, will lie desirable. In cold weathera woolen cap is best. This cap should be put on as soon as the car is entered. A loose blouse should take the place of the coat usually worn. Slippers must not be worn. If there is a draft in the car, face it; do not let it strike the back. Have the bed made with its head toward the engine: the dust will then lie driven to the foot, where it will do the least harm. But lie sure to have a sufficient quantity of bed clothes to keep warm. A soft, loose-knit woolen hood is the best head wear for women; thus should lie worn at night also. It should be warmer in winter than in summer months. The corsets should be removed at night and a loose woolen wrapper worn for a night-dress. The stocking supporters, as well as every constricting band around the w aist, should be loosened. Every adult should take from five to ten grains of quinine on going to bed. It will be well to rub the hands, feet, face and neck with a little vaseline at the same time. A World of Homo Comforts. Messrs. Lindsay & Morgan have un doubtedly a most elegant display of goods in their warerooms this season. Every de sign in furniture and upholstery seems to be represented in their mammoth stock, and the beauty and comfort one can obtain for his home, for so moderate a sum of money, is really wonderful. Carpets, in warm and inviting patterns, rugs, curtains and a thousand other household articles combine to make a visit to this establishment de cidedly pleasant and profitable. At EsttlCs.

WATER AS A MEDICINE. Uses to Which it is Put by People Who Believe in Its Curative Quali ties. From Harper's Magazine. Ordinary drinking water, if taken in large quantities, nets as a solvent and a diuretic and also increases the perspiration if the temperature of the air be high. Taken in the quantity of one or two quarts at a time the diluent effect of water is often sufficient to eliminate an excess of alcohol from the blood, as after taking too much wine. Another effect of large draughts of water is to make the pulse slower and to djrnin ish slightly the normal temperature of the body. increase in weight has been claimed as a result of systematic water-drinking on re tiring for the night. The latest researches do not tiear out this conclusion. Water thus taken will prevent any actual loss of weight, but it is not shown that it will do anything more. With the addition of a moderate stimulant, however, it has often a decidedly fattening effect. Swallowed as hot as it can be borne, pure water has lately come into some vogue as an efficient remedy for dyspepsia and rheu matic ailments, and for reducing the obesity consequent upon idle habits and overeating. It is not yet shown that these effects are caused by the hot water. I have seen cases in which this treatment, conjoined with a diet almost exclusively composed of lean meat anil stale bread, has been followed by a great reduction of the invalid’s weight; but this result seemed to me due to the withholding of superabundant food from the patient, and not to any positive virtue in the hot water Itself. In dyspepsia the hot water treatment sometimes succeeds for the same reason Nature, if given a chance, has a good deal to say in the cure of the ailments that result from the misuse of the digestive organs. But this treatment has the double advantage of giving the dis turbed stomach comparative rest, and of gently stimulating it to the digestive duties that it cannot wholly forego, unless the patient is to be sustained by faith alone. Of the internal use of mineral waters this is not the occasion to speak. Trees That Abound in Paris. Paris Dupatcli to the London Doit;/ Telegraph Many of the chestnut which are planted in the Champs Elysees and other parts of Paris have this year lost their leaves before the usual time and donned fresh foliage. This change usually takes place about- Oct. 15, and tne fact that it has occurred at the present time is regarded as the sign of a rigorous winter. In connec tion with the Paris trees 1 see that some in terested person has taken the trouble to controvert the fact that planes abound in the Place de la Roquette, as was stated in the account which appeared in your columns of a recent execution. Now, it is well known that the place in question, as well as the adjacent boulevards, are thickly planted with planes, sumacs and syca mores, the first named being tbe most numerous. Any one who is curious on the subject of Paris trees can get full informa tion at the School of Arboriculture, where he will be told that planes abound in nearly every quarter of Paris where a green leaf is to be seen. Thev are to be found, for in stance, on the Roulevards de la Madeleine and the Capueines, on the Boulevard Hauss mann, the Roulevard Beaumarchais, the Boulevard Richard Renoir, and the Place de la Bastille. The Avenue des Champs Ely sees is, of course, famous for its ehesnuts, which also predominate on the aristocratic Boulevard. St. Germain and on the busy Place de la Bourse. Next in number come the sycamores, acacias, sumacs, and elms. The introduction of trees into the city was mainly the idea of M.

Lung Troubles and Wasting diseases can be cured, if properly treated in time, ns shown by the following statement from I). C. Freeman, Sydney: “Having been a great sufferer from pulmonary at tacks, and gradually wasting away for the oast two years, it affords me pleasure to testify that Scott's Emulsion - of Cod Liver Oil with Lime and Soda has given me great relief, and I choerfully recommend it to all suffering in a similar way to myself In addition, 1 would say that it is very pleas ant to taka” DR. WHITEHEAD’S REMEDY. Prickly Ash, Poke Root, Potassium (P. P. P.i—The Greatest Tonic and Blood Purifier of the Age. This preparation is not a secret or so called “patent medicine,” but is a compound of the best known vegetable alteratives (prickly ash, poke root, stillingia, sarsapa rilla, gentian, etc.), and has that peer less alterative, iodide of potassium, added to it. There is no argument necessary to estab lish the fact that if the blood is impure health is impossible. Every intelligent per son knows that the blood is the life current, and any taint in it must of course be inju rious to the body. Blood impurities may manifest themselves in various shapes. Sometimes it is rheumatism, sometimes scrofulous troubles, again in glandular swellings, ulcers, sores, boils, skin erup tions, scalp diseases and various external warnings tell us “the blood is impure.” Sometimes an internal orgnn is the seat of the trouble —the kidneys, the liver or tbe lungs give way, and then we have serious trouble, for “the blood is the life.” Dr. YVhitehead has made a study of this class of diseases for years, and offers this preparation to the public as a reliable and powerful blood purifier and tonic. N. B—P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) is now on sale in almost every store where medicines are kept. Do not be put off by dealers, who have not the remedy on sale, with “something just as good as P. P. P.,” or “better than P. P P.,” for there are no such goods. Buy the gen uine P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium), and you will not be disappoint ed in its results. If you cannot find it in your neighborhood, send to us direct and we will forward it to you by exuress. Re member it is a fluid extract, made from the Green Roots and Barks, and is very strong. It does not take thirty to fifty bottles of it to effort a cure; two to tour bottles are suf ficient to do the work; one bottle will show i!s wonderful effect*. Asa general tonic in low states of health, especially weak and debilitated females, it has no equal. The P. P. P. M’k’g Cos., Savannah, Ga. Wholesaled in Savannah, Ga., by O.
