ure of contributions for religion and charity, we
are not prepared to deny that it has a heavy and
decided smack of the spiritual about it.
There is no trophy of human industrv so great
in its magnitude and yet so rapid in its fluctua
tions—so sensitive and yet so sturdy—so weak
and so strong—so helpless and so omnipotent
of so intrinsio and inherent a value, and, after
all so easily Ben red in the markets by idle theo
rists and groundless whimsies.
In our short life we have seen the cotton pro
ducer, with tears in his eyes, beg the merchant
to take his cotton at two cents a pound in ex
change for flour, and the merchant consent half
in the way of trade and half in charity—saying,
“He really did not know what to do with it, for
there was already a good deal more cotton in the
world than ccnld be used before it would rot!”
And we have seen or rather read of cotton at a
dollar and ninety-five cents a pound in the North
during the war; and we read that a bale was sold
in Savannah on Thursday at the fancy price of
forty-two cents, and in Montgomery at fifty-
eight cents.
What a book could be written of fortunes made
and fortunes lost—of opportunities missed and
embraced in conne ction with cotton fluctuations ?
But it is not our pnrpose to begin such a book
to-day. We shall content ourselves with a few
speculations upon probable cotton prices during
the season upon which we have entered, and let
them pass with the reader for what they are
worth.
Reason does not, as we have intimated, al
ways control the price of cotton; but she may be
said to exercise something like a generally pre
ponderating influence. Reason applied to ex
isting facts would seem to indicate a steady
market at full prices throughout the season.

Deficiency in visible supply, 430,760.
This deficiency of over four hundred thou
sand bales has arisen nnder the general condi
tions of inactivity among the manufacturers
and a diminishing stock of goods, and a general
dullness of trade.
Nobody believes that it will be made up by
nny increase of product in tho cotton States or
elsewhere, and, therefore, arguing from these
positions that the supply will not be materially
increased, while no diminntion in demand con
be reasonably anticipated, we should look for a
stiff and steady market at something like exist-
And that this seems to be the idea among
cotton dealers the transactions we note from
time to time, in cotton to be delivered, distinctly
show. These transactions extend to cotton
to be delivered in New York next December.
The last quotation we published for cotton to
be delivered in December was 204 to 26}, while
cotton on the spot was selling the same day at
334. This is a bet on a decline not to exceed
6f, and as the men who made it calculate to be
well paid for the risk, we will venture to say
they do not anticipate any material decline
at all.

years the market has experienced such declines
followed in the spring by heavy reactions, which
have made the fortunes of the cotton dealers.

for the statement to this effect made by one of

• GEORGIA.
In none of the States South has the opposition
to reconstruction been so steady and unscrupu
lous as in Georgia. The Democratic partv there
is more proscriptive than it is in Kentucky or
Maryland, and the animosities kept dive by the
newspapers and the politicians extend, as we
have lately seen, to forcible resistance to the
revenue officers. The expulsion of the colored
members qf the Legislature, after they had par
ticipated in the formation of the new govern
ment, was an act of supreme madness, and was
universally denounced by tbe Republicans of
the county. It was a bold and undisguised rev
olution, and was followed by many tragical con
sequences. All the outrages and murders of
the last year are directly traceable to the pas
sions aroused and encouraged by that act of in
sanity. The courts of Georgia having decided
that it was illegal, an opportunity is now pre
sented to the authors of this wrong to set them
selves partially right by restoring the expelled
members to their seats and by ratifying the fif
teenth amendment We are *glad to see that
Dr. Bard's Atlanta New Era urges this course
upon the Democrats. Should they reject this
sensible advice Congress will take such measures
as will lead to something like government and
peace in the State.—Press of the lOfA.
We have simply to deny that there has ever
been, from first to last, any factious opposition
to reconstruction which could be fairly attrib
uted to Georgia, as a political community. We
have to say that tbe expulsion of the colored
members was in perfect harmony with the com
mon and almost universal understanding among
all parties here, of the requirements of the
Constitution; and that a Republican Supreme
Court was divided upon the legality of the pro
ceeding. The charge thatany outrage followed,
as a consequence of that act, is simply absurd;
and the whole brood of murders and outrages
have been far more the handiwork of Radical
partizans than of the people.
This laughable story is told of the witty John
Phoenix:
When Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War
he issued circulars to all the army officers, ask
ing of them specifications for a proposednewuni-
forni. Phoenix, who was an excellent draftsman,
set to work and produced a design. He made
no great change in the uniform, but he proposed
revolutionizing the entire system of modem tac
tics by an iron hook. This hook was to be at
tached to tbe seat of every soldier’s pants. It
applied to every arm of the service, cavalry, in
fantry and artillery. He illustrated its use by a
series of well executed designs. He quoted high
medical authority proving its advantages in a
sanitary point of view. The heavy knapsack,
he argued, induced a stooping position and a
very great contraction of the chest. But hung
on the hook by a strap connecting with the
shoulder, it would brace the body back and ex
pand the chest. The cavalry thus were to be
rendered more secure in their seats, hgoked to
a rung in the saddle. All the commissioned of
ficers were to carry a light twenty-foot pole,
with a ring attached to the end. This wa3 to
be used during an engagement in drawing tbe
stragglers back into the ranks. He illustrated
a terrific battle, the generals and colonels being
thus occupied, running about hauling stragglers
back to the ranks. In many other nnheard of
ways did he expatiate on the value of his hook.
Jefferson Davis was enraged. His dignity
was wounded and the service insulted. He in
stantly made out an order directing Phcenix to
be court-martialed for contempt. Marcy was
made aware of Phoenix’s transaction, as well as
the cloud banging over him. He looked over
the plates. He saw a regiment, their backs to
wards him, drawing up in a line, knapsacks,
blankets, hams, and all manner of camp equip
age, pending from each soldier on the hook.
Marcy broke down. Said he to Davis: “It’s no
use to court-martial this man. The matter will
be made public: the laugh will settle entirely
on us, and besides the man who lias tbe invent
ive ingenuity here displayed, as well ns this fac
ulty of design, illy directed though it be, is too
valuable to the service to be trifled with.” John
Phcenix was not brought to grief, and Davis’s
anger was at length sufficiently molified for him
to enjoy the joke. It does not appear, however,
that they adopted Phoenix’s plan.
A Carpet-Bagger’s Opinion of tlie Man
and Brother.
“Oar own correspondent” of the New York
Tribune, writing to that paper from Columbia,
South Carolina, where he is at present on mis
sionary service in behalf of the “God and mor
ality Radical party,” thus speaks of the “an-
nointed.” He says:
“Tho fact is, and it is a melancholy one for
us who desire good for the colored race, that the
negro is so utterly the slave of his passions, and
so utterly destitute of judgement and foresight,
that no calculation can be made upon him—no
foresight can predict what he will do to-morrow.
He may turn next to stab tbe white Democrat,
or the white Republican, or the black Democrat,
or tbe white carpet-bagger, irrespective of bis
politics. He can forget race, blood, politics,
oaths of leagues, religion, his promise—anything
and everything—under some temporary excite
ment. He wants the stability to act with con
sistency ; and this comes of the character of his
brain, not of tbe color of bis skin.
A Celestial Giant.—Chang Woo-Gow, the
Chinese giant, is attracting much attention in
New York city. This extraordinary individual
hails from Foo-Choo, in China. He has been
exhibited in Europe daring the past four years,
and was very handsomely entertained by Queen
Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon, and he has
been the recipient of many valuable presents.
He arrived in New York on Thursday of last
week, in the steamship Denmark, from Liver
pool, accompanied by his manager, Mr. Carlett,
of Norwich, England, and his wife, King-Foo,
a lady of ordinary stature and pleasing presence.
Chang is 22 years old, about eight feet six
inches in height, and his father, he says, was
even taller than himself. He speaks both French
and English fluently, and has a decidedly intel
ligent countenance. His face i3 perfectly smooth,
and his physiognomy betrays bis nationality.
Chang's weight, although he is slenderly rather
than stoutly built, is 350 pounds, and has caused
many amusing accidents. At one time he was
riding in a London cab, with a Tartar dwarf,
about two feet high, when the bottom suddenly
gave way beneath Chang's feet, precipitating
the nnlucky dwarf into the mud of Parliament
street; and on another similar occasion the
giant himself wasrndelydepositedon the ground,
and obliged to run for some distance through
an excited and admiring crowd. Chang and ms
wife have been engaged by the manager of
Wood’s Museum, and will soon be on exhibition
there.

Tbe Burial.or Moses.
By Nebos’s lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan’s wave,
In avals in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;
And no man dug the sepulchre,
And no man saw it e’er.
For the angel of God upturned the sod, . -
And laid the dead man there.
That was tbe grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth:
But no man heard the tramping,
Or saw the train go forth.
Noislessly as tbe dsybght
Comes when tbe night is done.
And the crimson streak on ocean’s cheek
Grows into the great sun.
Noislessly as the spring timo
Her crowd of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves—
So, without sound or music. |
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain’s crown
The great procession 6wept.
Perchance tho bald old eagle
On gray Bethpeor’a height,
Out from his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wondrous sight:
Perchance tho lion, stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot;
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war.
With arms reversed and muffled drum,
Follow the funeral car;
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won.
And after him lead his masterksa steed,
While peals the minute gun. I
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place,
With costly marble drest;
In the great minster-transept,
Where lights like glory fail,
And the choir sings and the organ rings
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword;
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word;
And never earth’s philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathless page, truth half to sage,
As he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor?
The hill-side for his pall,
To lie in State while angels wait.
With stars for tapers tall;
And the dark rock-pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And God's own band, in that lonely hnd,
To lay him in the grave!
In that deep grave, without a name,
When his uncoffined clay
Shall breathe again (most wondrous thought!)
Before the judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the Incarnate Son of God!
O lonely tomb in Moab’s land!
O dark Betbpeor Hill 1
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath His mysteries of grace—
Ways that we cannot tell:
He bitles them deep, like the secret sleep
Of him he loved so well.

Fire.—At half past three o’clock Monday
morning, the alarm of fire was sounded, and the
flames were discovered issuing from the two-

house by Messrs. Harris & Avera. When dis
covered the flames had completely enveloped
the building, and it was evident to all that any
attempt to save it would prove furtile. Adjoin

shop of Mr. W. S. Wattles, and in a few min
utes it was likewise in flames.

the determination of his Honor, Judge_Alexan

A Strange Poison.
The Plant by which the Empress Carlottd Be
came Insane—Gen. Lesca also Poisoned.'
By telegraphio dispatches it appears that Gen.
Lesca has been poisoned. It is uncertain whe
ther the deed was perpetrated by some one of
the insurgents or by some Spaniard who feared
that Lesca was using too much clemency towayd
the Cuban forces. Certain it is that Lesca has
been poisoned, and that his mind has become
sadly injured. The probability is that he will
live, but become insane. The decoction by
which he has been thrown in this sad flight, it
is certain, was the same by which the interest
ing widow of the unfortunate -Maximilian was
thrown from the domain of reason into, the
depths of lunacy. To us this unfortunate widow
has always appeared like Shakespeare’s Ophelia,
who, with darkened mind, strewed flowers on
the stream.
This poison, which maddens without bringing
death to its victim, is derived from an herb
which grows in Cuba, South America and a few
places in Mexico. This plant is one of the most
wonderful of nature’sproductfons. It resembles
the century plant in many of its features. Like
the century plant, it is a member of the cactus
family; stfll further, it blooms once in many
years and at regular intervals. The bnd is large,
and resembles that of tbe horse-chestnut in the
peculiar gluten surrounding it. From this the
native derive the poison.
Tho flower is of a gigantic size, and contains
a purple centre, surrounded by blue and white
circles. The perfume is delicious, but deadly,
and the natives shun approach as the sailors of
the old songs of the sirens. To inhale is sweet,
but to remain is death. Tho sorcerers, or medi
cine men, take the buds of this singular plant,
and, first roasting, place them in a pot .with
sweet oil over a fire, and dance around with
strange ceremonies till the oil and juice of the
herb mingle, when they cease their strange in
cantations and pour the decoction, then resemb
ling honey, into shallow plates, from which, af
ter the lapse of a few days, it is again taken and
kept in miniature jars.
The poison, when taken in sufficient quantity,
first places the brain in a delightful delirium’,
resembling fusil oil; this is succeeded, in a few
days, by an uncontrollable apathy, which at last
culminates in insanity, in which the patient is
at times strangely rational, then wildly insane,
and again rational, but greatly exhilarated. This
poison is not destroyed by being mingled in
victuals before being subjected to heat, but its
immediate effects are somewhat deadened.
They are sure to appear, however, in the lapse
of time. This is the manner in which the poi
son is generally administered.
When the victim is of no great influence, and
it is improbable that be can turn upon his pois
oner, the decoction is administered in a glass of
wine or a cup of cocoa. The poison manifests
itself shortly, and in the course of a week all the
various phases of the delirium appear. The
sad tale of the Empress Cariotta is known to all,
but this description of the poison, from what it
is derived, and how it acts, may add in forming
a more correct appreciation of the horrible
troubles to which she is subject. Gen. Lesca
has been poisoned by the same herb, and is now
subject to the same freaks of insanity as tho
Empress Cariotta.

A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper
thus speaks of a prolonged totality: “Few peo
ple trouble themselves to think wbat the effect
would be if the eclipse of Saturday were to last
any length of time, and the sun were blotted
from the heavens. Philosophy declares that
not only would a horror of darkness cover the
earth, but the moisture of tho air would be pre
cipitated in vast showers to the earth, and the
temperatnre fall to a fearful point of cold-
nothing less than two hundred and thirty de
gress below zero, Fahrenheit. The earth would,
be the seat of darkness and more than Arctic
desolation. Nothing oould survive such freez
ing cold a moment, more than one could breathe
in scalding water, lh three dayB after the cool
ing process began, nothing created would be
alive but the monsters that wallow in deep
ocean, and the eyeless retiles that make their
haunts in caves which penetrate far under
ground.” > •’

Yesterday evening a rencounter occurred be
low Forsyth street crossing, on the Macon and
Western Railroad, between Samuel Bostock and
J. Tom Maloney, both engineers, we under
stand.
The statement of Bostock is, that he and Ma
loney had a previous difficulty, and went to this
spot to settle it. When they arrived on the
ground Maloney proposed to measure off the
gronnd, but Bostock suggested that they lay
aside their pistols. Maloney, it is said, fired
twice at Bostock before the latter returned the
fire. Several shots were interchanged.
Bostock was wounded in the calf of the leg,
and Maloney abont five inches below the right
nipple. Maloney’s wound is considered fatal.
Of tbe extent of the injuries received we
cannot definitely report until we hear from the
attending snrgeon, Dr, Lou Orrne.
Maloney came from Chattanooga originally,
and has a wife and a small family of children.
Bostock came from Columbus, and is noted as
the bosom friend of Ashbum, and is the Mag
istrate who issued the warrants against the Co
lumbus prisoners.
Both parties are reported to be strong “Rads.”
Of the origin of the difficulty we could not
gain any definite information. The statement
of Maloney, should he be able to make any,
will probably throw new light on this matter.
[Atlanta Constitution, I3t7i.
From Clinch, Pierce, Appling anil
Ware'.
We dip the following from the Valdosta
Times of the 16th inst.:
Homerville, Ga., July 31, 1869.
Editor South Georgia Times: Having recent
ly, on a special occasion, made a trip from this
place to the Altamaha, through Ware, Pierce
and Appling counties, and as some observations
maybe of interest, you will confer a favor if
yon can find space in your valuable paper for
this communication.
Crops in this and Ware counties are first rate
generally. In Pierce and Appling they are not
so good—having suffered much in many places
for want of rain and from severe storms. Sir.
Berry Henderson’s house, of Pierce county, has
been partially stripped twice this year, and most
of the fences and green timber in tbe vicinity
were blown down. Crops, shade and fruit trees
in that and other localities were much injured.
The Macon and Brunswick railraoad is being
pushed forward rapidly. The citizens along
its line are in high spirits and pretty full of
money. Most of them whose land ares crossed
by it are expecting or trying to get a depot.
Another Patriarch.—On tho 24th of July,
Mr. Silas O’Quin, of Appling Co., aged eighty,
gave a birthday dinner to which his descendants
were invited. There were presentseventy-three
persons, and thirty-four absent, making in all
one hundred and seven. At this golden party,
the old man looked back upon a well spent life.
With seventy-three of his descendants around
his board, all well-to-do and respectable, doubt
less Wm bosom swelled with Abrahamio pride.
Queen TRiwvr.T.i, her husband, and her son,
the Prince of Asturias, dined at St. Cloud, on
the 26th nit. This event may reasonably be
construed as a confirmation of the rumor that
the Emperor connived at what is called the “es
cape” from Paris of Don Carlos, in the hope
and full expectation that by the aid of informa
tion furnished by tbe French police he will very
soon be extinguished, and that the commotion
caused by bis attempted civil war will afford an
opportunity for a restoration in the person of
the Prince of Asturias. The Duke of Montpen-
sier or a republic would be equally distasteful to
the Tuileries. The combination which tbe Em
peror leans to is the abdication of Isabella and
the enthronement of her son, with his uncle
Don Henry de Bourbon, for Regent.

A Novel Plan to Kill the Cotton Caterpil
lar.—A correspondent of the Savannah Repub
lican, writing from Madison, Fla., has the fol
lowing concerning a newly discovered plan to
destroy the caterpillar on the cotton plant:
“A photographist, by name McCallum, I be
lieve from Tennessee, experimented while here
upon his theory of killing caterpillars. He, to
gether with a few citizens, visited the fields of
13. M. McCoy, Inglis and Thomas, used his va
por with so much success that he intends pat
enting his invention.
“A strong solution of chemicals are thrown
upon the plant, killing the caterpillar immedi
ately, with no injurious effects to the plant nor
to the laborers in the field. He is willing, he
says, to inhale the vapor himself for an hour.
“The plants that he operated upon are not
dead, but on the contrary are free from cater
pillar. He has been studying his plan for three
years, and has just had an opportunity of test
ing its feasibility. He intends visiting Wash
ington, and I leam he offered a half interest for
§300, but did not get a bidder. He left us last
week. Citizens who witnessed his operation
pronounce it ajsuccess. It is to be hoped that
lie will have machines, small though they may
be, made immediately, as he estimates that one
hand can destroy the caterpillar on ten acres of
ground daily.
The first public marriage of a Hindoo widow
is noted in India. The Bombay Gazette, of June
22, says: “A marriage of peculiar interest to
some sections of tbe Hindoo community, was
celebrated at tbe Gowalia house of the Rao Ba-
hadoor Moroba Canoba, last Tuesday evening.
The bridegroom was Mr. Venayek Karmerker,
a teacher; the bride was Venn Bai, widowed
sister of Mr. Waman Prabhaket, both of the
Chitpawun section of the Brahmin Paranjpey
caste, and, we are told, ‘‘respectably bom and
situated’—and the ceremony derived its interest
from tbe circumstance that it was the first pub
lic marriage of a Hindoo widow, and that it took
place nnder tbe auspices of tbe Hindoo Widow
Marriage Association, and in the presence of
numerous spectators, including several Euro
peans.”

“How,” asks a fast young Parisian of his
friend, “do you rid yourself of an attachment
which you don’t care to continue ?” “I have
an excellent way. I write to the postmaster at
St Petersburg asking him to send me a Russian
postage stamp to pay for a letter from Moscow
to Paris. Then I put this stamp upon a letter
which I had written to the fair one, in which I
say that Hirgent business compels me to pass the
next seventeen years out of France.’ This I
send to the postmaster at Moscow, with the re
quest that he will drop it in the mail, and the
thing is done.” “There is a much simpler way
than that. I write to my lady, ‘I know all.—
Adieu. ’ In twenty cases out of twenty-five there
is something to know. At any rate it has always
been successful in my case.”
Madamb Dora d’Istbia writes as follows on
the woman question: “It will be with the po
litical status of woman as with that of the col
ored race. The gravest objections might no
doubt have been urged against the latter. Physi
ology, politics and history supplied specious ar
guments to their opponents. But when certain
currents are once formed in the public mind,
they end by sweeping away all obstacles, even
those that were regarded as impregnable. This
is sufficiently exemplified by the progress of
universal suffrage. Thirty years ago this was
regarded all over Europe as a vain illusion, un
worthy the consideration of a thoughtful states
man. Nevertheless, it has already made suffi
cient conquests in Western Europe to justify
the prediction that Eastern Europe, too, will be
obliged to adopt it.”

A Terror or a Comet.—-For ten years astron

They assert that it will approach near the

road, or a collision will occnr.
They also assert this to be the veritable com
et that preceeded the bloody civil wars in
Greece, and was followed by a terrible conta
gion that swept off more than half the inhabi
tants of the earth.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOB PUBIFYESG THE BLOOD.
The reputation this ex.
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
many of which arc of a
truly marvellous char-
seter. Inveterate cases
of Scrofula, where th*
system' seemed utterto
given, up to corruption,
have yielded to this com
pound of anti-strumous
virtues. Disorders of a
scrofulous type, and af-
_ fections which are merely
aggravated by the presence of scrofulous matter,
have been radically cured in such numerous m-
Btances, in every settlement in the country, that the
public do not need to be informed here that It is in
most cases a specific and absolute remedy.
Scrofulous poison is one of tho most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, tins unseen and unfelt
tflnMt of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seem3 to breed infection throughout the body, and
Into one or mher ofllstedeoulMiK^Ye^^fteB
surface or amonsr the vitals. In the latter, tuber-
cles mav be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in tho liver. These fact3
make the occasional use of tho Sarsaparilla as a
preventive, advisable. . ’
It is a mistake to suppose that so long as no erup
tions or humors appear, there must be no scrofulous
taint. Theso forms of derangement may never
occur, and yet the vital forces of the body be so re
duced br Us subtle agency, as materially to impair
the health and shorten tho duration of life. It is a
common error, also, that scrofula is strictly neredi-
tarv. It does, indeed, descend from parent to child,
but is also engendered in persons bom of pure
blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious
habits, uncleanliness, ana the depressing vices gen
erally, produce it. Weakly constitutions, where not
fortified by the most constant and judicious care,
are peculiarly liable to it. Yet tho robust, also,
whose turbidblood swells tho veins with anappar-
ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated,
and on the road to its consequences. Indeed, no
class or condition can depend on immunity from
it, nor feel insensible to the importance of an effec
tual remedy. _ _ _ , ,
In St. Anthony’s Fire, Bose or Erysipelas,
for Tetter, Salt Bhcum, Scald Head, Bing-
teorm, Sore Ears and Eyes, and other eruptive
or visible forms of tho diseases caused primarily by
the scrofulous infection, the SarsaparUlais so ef
ficient as to bo indispensable. And in tho more
- -- * sla,Dropsy, Heart
Sarsaparilla, through its purifying power, re
moves the cause of the disorder ondproduces aston
ishing cures. . ..
The sarsaparilla root of the tropics does not by
itself achieve these results. It Is aided by the ex
tracts combined with it, of still greater power.. So
potent is this union of healing virtues, Syphilis or
Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by
it though a lone timo is required for subduing these
obstinate maladies by any medicine. Zeucorrhcea
or Whites, Vtcrine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases in general, are commonly-soon relieved
and ultimately cured by the invigorating and puri
fying effect of our Sarsaparilla. Bheumatism
and Gout, often dependent on the accummationsof
extraneous matters in the blood, have their remedy
also in this modicine. For Direr Complaints,
torpidity, inflammation, abce33, etc., caused by
rankling poisons In tho blood, We unhesitatingly
recommend the Sarsaparilla.
This medicino restores health and vigor where no
specific disease can bo distinguished. It3 restora
tive power is soon felt by those who are Dannuid,
Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and fined with
